  1. So did the rear springs today , went all smooth and really fast

    then decided it to do the front , HOLY SHIT! I looked at it and relised it wasnt a quick job!

    From my point of view I have to unbolt the Tie-rod, Tension brace , low control arm , steering arm, top hat , not even sure what I have to do with the brake lines!

    Anyone got a easier way ? and I'm not cutting the spring while its still on the strut!

     

    Cheers

  2. Hey blzbub666 hows the white walls going mate?

     

    Still Researching the Hilux Shocks, I know its Single Cab 4wd but not to sure if its 4th gen or 5th gen.

     

    Front shocks are killing me and I'm not keen for the whole conversion. I'll phone around tomorrow see what I can uncover!

     

    I'm going about 110mm - 120mm from the jack up spots( lowest part of the car ).

     

    Cheers

  4. Well have to finish the bodywork before 8 Feb ( Was a set goal )

    Then doing suspension after should be end of Feb.

    Then 4K is schedule for some work, date undecided on that

    So not really soon , I'm quite the perfectionest..but painting this week depending on weather and if I can decide on a colour.

     

    The Tailights were pretty stubborn just got to make the standard holes a little wider.

  5. Thanks mate

    Well the next thing is the arch's, they are Dead. so going to cut them out

    I got some flares that I would like to put on but need to do the suspension.

    So been doing my research on a cheap upgrade but 90% topics bursts into a fight and don't want to look like a noob so getting no where slowly but I'll get there.

     

    I think i got the back sorted with falcon Au Springs and hilux shocks

    But the front is killing me cause I can't find AE86,Corona,T18 Struts in Perth

    Engine will be 4agte when the time is right

  6. So after my fail attempt at building a datto 180B only cause parts are harder to find than a 16year old virgin, I decided to buy my self a little rolla.

    Before buying did some research and fell inlove with the Ke70 model, watched a couple of vids on the YOUTUBE an seen Grant sliding his and that was that!

    Even tho I'm not a big drift nut, I still appreciate it and see it as more an art then anything else and a loooove the styling, I'm personally more into the time attack/ A-B racing tho.

    So less chit chat and lets see some pics!

     

    This is when I purchased it for a wooooping $500, probally paid $499.99 to much but I couldnt be bothered!

    The big hiccup in the conversion was finding straight and clean flat panels,looked hi and low through the wreckers with no luck but my luck changed! this is how I find my gaurds.

    Woke up went for my morning piss,watched some news, jumped on Egay was looking for some new wheels cause sold them other 1's

    Normally I go wheels then type my postcode in the little box to show them wheels in my city, after finding nothing, I typed in "ke70" into the search tab but was still searching only my postcode (Perth) and BAM! Left and Right Flat front gaurds NOS still in there box's! Got both of them for $150 , after I picked them up started on the front end!

  7. Agreed, if you look closely Modern Warfare 2 was made by Infinite Ward and Black ops by Treyarch

    Some agreement went sour betweeb Infinte Ward and Activision over moneyssssssssss

    But EA games have just signed Infinite Ward For a couple of $$$$

    So we should get the old Cod style back soon.

    As borat says " So much of Excite! "

    Black ops is a load of shit biggest Money Cow i've ever wittnessed
