independantly constructed vehicle. the only way to get a v8 gemini on the road. costs about $10-$15k for certification alone, then you have to build the car, AND make it as safe or safer than a brand new current-ADR car

we have our xmas bbq at hinze dam on jan 8th?

MATTBLACK :)

my neighbours friend's cousin's son's dog's trainer's nephew's stepsister has an all wheel drive ke10 with two twincharged 4ags welded together to make a 3.2L v8. it goes pretty hard from what i have heard

the hilux had alot of things wrong in princible. it was a overrated truck, but essentially it was over budget and i don't want a daily that handles like crap. a singlecab truck without a tonneau was also the most completely and utterly useless vehicle i have ever owned (and all i've had is little 2 door cars). there was no space to put ANYTHING

i reckon if i can build a corolla that's reliable enough to travel 500+ miles in a weekend, anyone can!

i find kings to be a bit soft. often lovell or fulcrum are stiffer. you'd really need to get the rates from the manufacturer and compare i have always been a fan of custom springs. if you're paying retail, go that little bit further and get exactly what you want

because the springs sit too high. if you put superlow springs in corona/celica struts, it sits stock height in a corolla no, change to a pajero master cylinder like demuire has

my entire exhaust was free, and i've never paid for a set of extractors ^_^ my old mate has an rx7 which i've helped work on. somehow or other it wound up with a chrome tip. i turned up with a can of gloss black engine enamel one day and started spraying the exhaust and he was like "oh thank god!"

you're rollin in aircon with me then :)

aww, where's the dedication? :) i would actually like to go to the victorian bbq i think we should organise a rollaclub road trip sometime in 2006. sunshine coast to adelaide and back

then postwhore!

i think he's just acting casual, so that nobody comes near him to check if he's alright, otherwise they would be saying "hey what smells like someone shit their pants?" :)

i know, shall we stop?

:) BAHAHAHHAHAA

i think one postwhore thread is enough

i used to postwhore but i don't anymore :)

of course, i couldn't possibly handle the entire workload on my own oh, by the way OKE055, you pay for petrol and tyres, i mean after all we are providing our services free of charge :) hahahaha anyway back to reality

loud? heh, my ke25 was 114db @ 3000rpm i would wear industrial rubber earplugs if i drove it more than half an hour

yeah, that's pretty much how it worked, and still does. you'll usually peel over 220kw at the wheels out out most bog stock "206kw" japanese cars released these days still, i have HEARD that the 100 genuine aussie 32GTRs went harder than the jap spec ones. but now we are just talking carpark rumors and "butt dyno" so who really knows?

hey yeah, welcome to rollaclub, where we have no idea about 1Gs because they never came out in corollas. i would give toymods a go?

mudvayne rock. i am seeing them at big day out :)

no, it won't fit you need a different MC for ke10/20 because they have a different bolt pattern on the firewall than ke30 the big upgrade for ke30/55/70 is the pajero MC like fook's running, but i think that would be far too big for ke70 calipers factory ke30 and ke70 master cylinders are the same size, are they not? so in reality, you've just mirrored a ke70 setup with a ke30 booster. i believe the boosters are smaller on the earlier cars (10s and 20s do not have boosters at all, they're not even dual circuit! that's the only reason you'd put an early galant booster on a 10/20 anyway) not being able to lock your brakes is a good thing. step on the anchors properly in a brand new corolla with decent brakes and you'll be pretty hard pressed to lock anything up. locking up is the worst form of braking you can have, the idea is to get rid of it have your lines pressure bled, but i reckon you'll get used to it in time. i thought the same thing when i changed from jap calipers to girlock calipers on my ke25, but after doing a few experiments and actually testing the brakes from known braking landmarks i had before, the car actually did stop alot better, despite the fact the pedal felt different pads may also have something to do with this. hassle teddy to get a wheel off his ke70 and tell you what pads are in it, it stops better than any stock-brake corolla i have ever driven in my life! your rubber lines may also be a bit on the dodgy side. you can get adr-approved braided lines which would likely improve the situation

your comments make me think of a couple of car videos i have the first one is rob's naked comment. an F1 driver causes a huge pileup crash. they play back and freeze-frame his cabin footage, and his head is turned to check out a chick who's got her tits out. pretty observant at 200+km/h the second is darren's runoff area comment. a photographer is standing behind a tree to get photos of cars as they come round a corner, an evo comes around, flips, slides, and puts its roof straight into the tree the guy is standing behind with a massive thump. the guy had only just started to react and had moved about 6 inches away when the car hit the tree. had it not been there, he would have been toast then again, i guess if the tree hadn't been there, he wouldn't have been there either

yeah, the tip just fitted on. i had heaps of problems with it for a couple of years, cos it was hung like shit. i eventually got it fixed up and butt-welded to a new muffler, and it was all good. i still have it in the garage too hahaha i don't know what the wheels are called, but they're made by ROH. they're just chromed steel. nice way to dodge insurance cos they're not "mags" or "alloys" or anything :( i've seen em round in 13" on ke20,30,70 and in 14" on bluebirds and the like, so you could get decent ones for a ke30 if you looked hard enough
