Nebulizers are fun :)

No-go from my friend... so we still need 1 more person. Is Datgirl going to come out and play?

I need to majorly tighten up my lines, and learn how to color. Then again, still have a lot of room for improvement even on the basic shaping of the car... But yes, the legendary Redwarf :) Hope you like it Rob :o

You'll probably want to plan your suspension upgrade along with your brake upgrade (even if you don't end up doing both at the same time) simply because they are so closely related.

And another one :)

Your simplest (and possibly cheapest) option would be to chase down a set of JDM AE86 front struts and brakes, you could probably even get aftermarket coilovers etc and it's all bolt in AFAIK. Then you'll have vented front brakes, should handle a 4AGZE without too many problems, just run good pads etc. If you want to go bigger the most common upgrade would probably be the Corona/Pug/Hilux upgrade like on my AE35 (although technically I'm using Landcruiser calipers instead of Hilux ones). Very large, very heavy. Awesome stopping power, probably not the best thing for handling. If like you said money isn't an issue then you'd probably want a similar setup, but using RX7 or similar calipers instead (alloy) - much lighter, but you'll need to make up custom mounting brackets. But realistically speaking, if money isn't an option the world is your oyster, you could even get custom 2 piece rotors and big alloy 8 piston calipers if you wanted... If you're going to be spending all this money you might as well look into upgrading your drivetrain as well to handle the 4AGZE power (your standard diff probably won't take to it so well and besides, unless you want to run a locker you'll be spinning your wheels like mad). With a 4AGZE I'd be inclined to go with an R31 or similar Borg Warner diff, that way you also get the rear disc brakes too. Or if you really wanted to a Hilux diff, but then you'd still have drums (BIG ones though!) on the back. Or you could just get the JDM AE86 rear end, but the discs on the back of them are tiny and I don't think a T series rear end would like a 4AGZE too much if you abuse it. And what's the point of building a car if you can't abuse it :)

Good to know that you've decided to upgrade your brakes and suspension first instead of just building a death trap with 6 million hp at the wheels that doesn't stop or turn :) There are many many options for brake upgrades, it really depends on what you want, and how much you want to spend, and how much enthusiasm/time you have. Whether you keep your front struts or completely replace them is up to you. Being a KE70 your spindles are still on the small side so if you want to keep your struts you'd probably be going somewhere along the lines of AE86 brakes. Although, I have heard of someone using Cortina calipers and Magna vented discs on KE20 struts, but again no specifics. Other options in my post above.

These are apparently inspired by Pinky :) First one done in pen, second in pencil. Someone else helped me to shade the 2nd one though, I haven't gotten that far yet :o

Ah, so Rob's the culprit is he? :) Oh well, I'll have to go in search for a kart with a small(ish) seat again, the last time I was there (not like I've been many times... like 3 times or something) I was like a pea in a pot, by the time the end of the session came I was all battered from bouncing off the sides of the seat...

You haven't by any chance seen Mr Redwarf pedal through the forest have you? Even the awesome Me gasps in awe :) His breathtaking motorkhana'ing is only a faction of the awesomeness to come :o ps: WHERE on earth did I get the name Mr Whippet from???

Sweet, Mr Dixon is coming :) This could get interesting :o

So we have till Friday to get 2 people... I'm still working on getting 1 more, but I don't think I know anyone outside of that. Teddy: If it will help get use of your dad's credit card at all - if I'm not mistaken the card isn't actually charged unless we don't show. As in, they take down the credit card number so that if we don't show they can charge us. When we show (and I'm putting a big *when* here because I believe we will make it) then we still pay the $50 each and then the credit card details are destroyed.

I thought we needed a minimum of 12 to book? That would be $120 deposit for 12 people (even though at the moment we only have... 8?) And umm... yeah that would make it a bit easier for me as I don't go up that way too often. If and when my gearbox is ready (this weekend apparently? I should call...) I'll probably be driving up that way to pick it up, will drop it around. Else if you have a bank account I can deposit it. Or I can just give it to you on the night.

Very cool. I'm guessing you weren't planning on putting anything in your boot for awhile :)

20th Saturday. Teddy: what time are we booking into?

8-1 would probably be rather ridiculous anyway, the collectors would be bloody huge.

Teddy: Make me Fook x 4, I have $40 of deposit for you now :) Just need to get it to you somehow...

Also the stock carby has very little "tunability", as in there isn't very much you can really adjust on them. But that said, if you have a stock motor chances are it'll offer enough to keep it running. I'm still running a stock carby. Stock everything in fact...

Some rather impressive driving there :| I think they run something like that in Singapore too (used to have a friend who did it in a Subaru Vivio RSR or something like that), I've never actually seen one - only photos and stories. But over there they like their Evo's, judging from the photos at least half of the field is made of Evos... *yum* I think they loosely coin them "carpark races" or something silly like that.

Welcome! I think most of us own older Corollas (KE70 and older) but there are a few newer ones... Can't remember who though! That's a fairly clean looking ride you have there, what's done to it? Just wheels and lowered springs?

Delco?

So the rebuild kit didn't work? :|

Ah, I can do that if you wish :| Ken Graham's Datto is so darn sexy though :)

Your guess is as good as mine...

Rob's video uploaded, can be found in the QMS1 Summary thread Rob: Thanks for that :| By the way, why did we need to edit it again? Looks just fine to me :)
