or using that orange te21 with the fibreglass guards, it's even closer to him!

except the rust part. look at it, the rails are f@$ked, the floor is f@$ked, it has NO strength, it's going to tear in half! and osix just doesn't understand that, he's more worried about a 2 pak paintjob and getting some indicators shipped over from australia

fix: buy a good ta22 shell and change over all the good bits

fark, that's really tidy, top work! =) i like your little center console bit, what's it from? the wheels are nice and unique, they suit it only thing i would have done differently is the cannon

tis me, and hot damn, they're for sale! $400 with custom throttle cable to suit ke1x/2x

bugger all, like 30 bucks a year i think

haha, corolla radar

you'll also notice alex-now-scott's ke10 on the back cover of the issue before mine

yes, and yes =) i've met jon a few times, he's really cool to talk to, and owns nice cars. he's been at the last few all toyota days you know :( haha good thing you reminded me about this actually, my subscription ran out a couple of months ago and i've been meaning to renew it

don't those things suck?! and they don't make them aftermarket either, so your only option is an often equally as crap one from a dead motor or the wreckers. i have like two spares and i'm holding onto them nice and tight

haha, at least you wont have to worry about wheelspin =)

*chants*

haha not quite

i have. still not going =)

because 4ac is the sux0r, rawk on 4K!!!!!11!!!eleven!bbq1

i think it's piss funny to see dedicated drag cars trying to steer around corners, and bogans who have 10 million horsepower but can't drive for shit a "definitive display of who has the best car" it certainly isn't

yes

haha, oke020 is scott hoffman's car. he also owns alex's old ke10. he posts on here every now and again, and has been lurking around oldrollas for years great guy, has good style and always tops to talk to

i considered this, except i don't own a bench grinder, and i've taken far too much skin off already with wire wheels on the drill =) i should find a cheap bench grinder

often working on a 30-odd yearold car, you undo a bolt and the thread is all full of crap. i always worry about stripping threads out (god knows i've done enough of them), so i like to give them a clean and a spray with inox before putting the bolt back in cleaning the thread in the body or part isn't usually a problem, you can grind a bit lengthways out of a bolt and wind that in, cleaning all the crap out, or i've even gone to the massive several dollars expense of buying M6, M8 and M10 thread taps, which i just quickly wind in and out and get all the gunk out nicely bolts are another matter not really wanting to spend like 20 dollars each on the accompanying M6, M8 and M10 die, i usually hold a razor blade in one hand, and thread the bolt against the blade with the other hand. it gets just about anything out of the threads, from dirt and silicon to rust, but it's tedious, especially if you have alot of dirty bolts to do what do you guys do to clean bolts? are there any secrets here i'm missing out on?

yeah, don't listen to what every "mechanic" has to say =) i wouldn't use the thin discs with the girlock calipers, the brake fade resistance isn't much of an improvement, but it is noticeable when you're thrashing the ass out of the car. i managed to turn my ke70 rotors purple/black on many occasions, the last thing you want is thinner discs. if you're going to do an upgrade, i would rather do it properly

yeah, you wouldn't want to put heat into brakes now would you have you ever touched brakes after hard driving? they leave scarring blisters and change the color of the disc metal, i highly doubt half a minute with the angle grinder would generate anywhere near that much heat they'll be fine

i also thought it was a pulsar when i first saw the jumper lead pic!

own3d man i'd be pissed off if my nuts were one in front of the other still, stupid f@$ks, i hate when people deface others' cars

i want to see you with big hair =)
