  1. I have droopy too :D
  2. Nup, Firefox isn't saying it's blocking any cookies, tried it in IE and I still can't edit. It tells me it's edited, but nothing appears to be saved.
  3. Trying to update my "ride", but it doesn't seem to update?
  4. Cusco 1.5 way. I haven't driven mine on cement yet, so don't know if it will chirp there. Gearset made some mild whirring sounds on deceleration, but it seemed to go away within the first 2 or 3 minutes, maybe it's part of the "wearing in process". Dunno.
  5. SKID PAN SKID PAN SKID PAN SKID PAN SKID PAN I want :D
  6. This kinda sounds funky: ortho-k
  7. Well, it won't really be an SR70 either, because there's no "R" chassis code (well, if there is, it isn't a Corolla). So maybe it'll be an SRE70?
  8. Well we've changed the sparkies not too long ago, with the ones that are supposed to be for the 4K so I guess that rules that out. It doesn't appear to be running exceptionally hot or anything, so maybe it's running lean. Or has lots of carbon. Dunno. Maybe we should fix it sometime...
  9. Well, the strange thing is it only seems to happen after it's been for a long drive (ie, down the highway etc). If I just drive to the shops or whatever, it's fine. And mind you, I think it has a 4.5:1 diff or something, and a 4 speed, so going down the highway means it's revving pretty hard...
  10. GROUP BUY!!! :D
  11. mumblezz: but you are a freak of nature as far as driving goes :D With my locker, I found it very predictable, but constantly sideways in the wet. Maybe I should slow down more for roundabouts :kiwi: Back to the topic. I drove with the LSD today for the first time, drift juice (rain) and all. Just around the block, maybe 5 minutes of driving. And after first impressions... I TAKE IT ALL BACK! I LOVE MY LSD :y: It's like an open diff, I can reverse, I can make U turns, I can go around roundabouts, I can turn around corners - no shuddering, no chattering, no squeeking, no sliding, it just drives around normally. Don't need to pre-empt any understeer, no need to be ready for the oversteer that always comes after. How strange. And then give it a boot full, and oh-sideways-here-i-come! :D And my my, the 4.78 diff is rather different. When my speedo says 80, I'm doing 60 (from Terratrip).
  12. Haikal's car has problem with "running on" too. How do you remove the carbon from the head? I always thought it was caused by incorrect timing...
  13. What wilson means is mounting it more upright. Apparently you can get more power out of the K engine by doing this, but I don't know how, or why...
  14. A locker (welded diff) is basically like an extremely tight LSD. In other words, an LSD means (well, is supposed to anyway) "Limited Slip Diff", and obviously with a locker, if it slips then it's broken :D Or you could call your locker an LSD too (locked solid diff :kiwi:)
  15. Jamie: Thanks for that. Would have to organise something. Yes the Camry has roofracks.
  16. Mmm, yes, those new aluminium radiators with the plastic end tanks are pretty darn cool...
  17. Haha, well we definately need a new bonnet. As much as we like to hail the god of fibreglass bog, the bonnet is looking rather very unsalvageable... So we're using it to paint stuff on, just for fun. Holes and all :P
  18. TRD ke70: Would it be cheaper to buy direct from All Crash Parts than to get it through one of their distributors?
  19. Someone was talking about putting a motorcycle engine in a car the other day, and then I found this: Twin engined Ultima Oh fun :P
  20. Even better: http://www.autopartsonline.com.au/steps.php edit: BTW, the search feature only works with IE. Stupid website... But at least it lists all the parts, and prices :P
  21. Oh wait, here we go: http://www.allcrashparts.com.au/
  22. Looked up yellowpages, can't find "allcrash" :P Oh well, next time I'm at a panel beaters or something I'll ask them.
  23. Haha, I wish they were mine...
  24. Just a list, really. Not after anything in particular, but would like to have an idea of what's available, and what sort of money it goes for... Looking for bits specifically for KE35 and KE38.
  25. Where would I be able to get a full listing and a price list? Or is this something you can only get from a panel beater?
