painting all nice a white then came putting it back together, got a few goodies to go with it rebuilt the front end, including kyb excel-g st185 inserts, 6.25kg 200mm free height springs shortened struts buy 40mm, t3 camber tops and spring hats, ae86 steering arms and GH sigma control arms got ke36? bonnet, fender mirrors, chin spoiler and modified the rear vents and covered them all in the 3m ni-doc carbon wrap ba side indicators, cleared the fronts, and resprayed the rears, and wrapped the surrounds all new rubbers and locking strips, all chrome work was loving polished by the one and only teddy (thanks very much for that man :y: ) and the best bits, new wheels 16x8 +0 offset and te27 flares so here is how it stands now big thanks to teddy for coming down a week earlier to help me finish it off for the cruise, wouldn't have been quite as nice with out him paul

rolla stayed like this for ages, until my stupidity, putting too wide a tyre on the rear, smashed all the bog and rust out of the guards, the whole car was in realy poor shape, it looked ok from a distance, but really needed some work there was more rust that needed to be sorted too, so i pulled it off the road to fix it up. got a bit into fixing it and then i lost interest (body work is balls) and i was having trouble with what to do with one on the rear guards, it was really bad it sat like this for nearly 18 months, then a Tate's wedding, i got some motivation back, and i needed it done for the 5th GOR cruise so i went like a cut cat, fixed all the bodged repairs 2pac primed wet sanding got scared of wrecking all my hard work and got a friend to paint it for me, all taped up ready to go

hi guys a lot of you would already know my car or remember it from my conversion thread, but i thought i better do a real rides thread ive got a whats started out as a beaten up old ke55, which i thought was awesome at the time, which had a stolen 3t-c with extractors and 32/36 weber on it it went OK but the t50 was farked and the whole stolen thing put a gigantic spanner in the works, so a mate of mine was doing a ca18det convo on his de powered s13, and i bought everything he didnt need any more for the massive sum on $300 so the stolen motor and shitty box came out to make way for the ca18de (also painted the bay green, i was going to paint the this colour, hok lime time pearl, which the rest is for sale if anyone wants it) gearbox cross member fuel system and boot trimmings were done running xt130 struts, pug rotors and hilux calipers with coil over sleeves things were good for a while once i got engineers and rego, but then started breaking diffs so upgraded to a t series from a ra60, went in nicely, but as it turns out ive got it a little twisted in there, ill be fixing this soon put my chrome lensos off my pulsar on it

lucky they saw you go in, might not have seen you in there all camo'd up

auto diffs in ke30s are 4.3 and manual are 4.11, so might be the same in the 11s? t series come in 3.9s

that would be mine :cool:

yeah top weekend, cheers for such a great job organizing it a Jarrad and Mel, was epic thanks to everyone for voting for my rolla, pretty happy;) which i also have to thank teddy for for helping me out so much with it paul

how true, i adopted a brother for the week lol

yeah I'm sure you can be "16" for a day?

didn't stop me hahahaha drove the rolla today, feels slow as shit, keep waiting for it to spool up, epic fail will play with timing tomorrow see if its up the shit like i think it is good drive tho, turns like its on rails, soooo much better than it used to be paul

had windscreens put in today, little annoyed at the shit job, but that what ya get some times, the stains on the paint better cut out or the bloke that did will be getting some "goodwill"thrown his way will be driving the rolla tomorrow, off for a wheel alignment, then all Wednesday finishing things off hopefully looking really f@$king tough, can't wait also, bloke came into work on the weekend and said there was a detour around the closed bit of the road, was a pain and narrow roads, but we'll deal with that when we come to it i suppose, its all sign posted so no issues there paul

[quote name='"The overrated KE70"' timestamp='1295765901' post='497684' Photos would be nice none the less. :yes: of the car right? :laff:

bummer man :n:

yeah only the take off is the issue, its good to keep momentum sometimes but ive also seen the way you steer underpowered corollas :wink:

lol seams a lot of people got this confused, lol

for some reason i doubt this

+1 for phillip island, meant to be scale of the actual track?

corolla is painted!!! have to fix a few things up this week and give it a buff, looks great now going o look epic with a buff :dance: so all going well, (haven't driven it further than to the top of the drive way in over 18months) should on the cruise Paul

one that rips mad skids hahahaha

toby is one here, his screen name is .T. pm him, top bloke

yeah much the same for the sigma conversion, there about 30mm longer than ke70, have to grind the bush down and drill new swaybar holes, the ball joint is slightly different so the steering arms should be machined to fit them but can be used with out if ya keen

somebody slap him, hahahah

that's alright then, the wonders of info on the net

what car are the ke25 lca's going in? cos I'm pretty sure ive read they don't fit later corolla's, sigma lca's do fit tho with minor mods, and there around 325-330mm

yeah shes in the shade, good thing is cos I'm clumsy so i get as wet as the car, so in turn, stay cool got 80% done today, few things to finish off thru the week and should be painting on saturday. farkn hope the weather comes good, its the only day me and my help have free super psyched for this paul
