    Nice buy mate, there's so much you can do. Just depends where you wanna take it and how much you wanna spend.
  2. Thanks dude, glad you like it :wink: I love the classic look over modern anyday :hmm: So I think I'm gonna put her in to get the Vl diff fitted just so I know it'll be strong enough if I decided to go turbo or Supercharge in the near future. Only downside, Profab are full for the next 2 weeks so it's gonna be off the road for a little while longer :y: I'll keep yaz posted
  3. Last Sunday I took my corolla for a drive and got as far as Kiama (about 20 mins drive from home) and by the time I got there my diff was F$%ked. So the time has come to seriously consider a diff upgrade! I just don't know which way to go? I've been contemplating getting a shortened commodore diff installed. I've been talking to the guys at pro-fab and they tell me if I supply the diff it'll be around $2k - $2.5K. A mate of mine has a vl diff he said I can have for $200. I reckon it's a bit of an overkill for the time being but I'm considering a 4AGTE or 4AGZE in the future so I want something that's gonna hold up! Another option would be a hilux diff, I'm lead to believe I will still need to get the mounts re-welded, but I don't know how strong these are and if I'll need to get them shortened etc. :sob: Can anyone help with my decision making? :sob:
  4. Yeah the tab and bolt are in place n it just feels a little wobbly. I dunno, maybe it's the wrong gear. Might have to take it to the pro's to get it sussed out. Thanks heaps for the help mate :P
  5. Thanks for the info dude. My cable seemed to flow freely when I had it out and to what I thought it had no tight bends in it. One thing I did notice tho was when we had the gearbox out the speedo seemed a little loose when it was bolted on. I'm not sure how tight they're suppose to be in the housing but do you think if there is too much movement that it's a possibility the gear could jam and get chewed?
  6. Hey guys just wondering if anyone can help me out. My speedo stopped working a little while back so my brother and I pulled out the drive gear and low and behold the nylon gear was chewed up in the middle, like a half moon shape. So we replaced it with the same gear. It only lasted a week, if that, and is chewed again. After doing a little bit of research I'm lead to believe it may be the wrong speedo worm drive ratio. Is it possible to tell how to figure out the correct speedo worm drive ratio just by looking at the worm gear or is it a matter of pulling the worm gear out and matching it to the drive gear??? I'm lead to believe there a few different ratios as such 5 x 19, 6 x 20, 6 x 22 meaning 5 starts on the worm gear and 19 teeth on the drive gear etc.... My drive gear had 20 and 9, or was it a 6, embossed on the end of the gear. Any help would be much appreciated :lol:
  7. Well if they look good and they work, thats all that matters! Yeah wollongong is a bit far for you, lol, but there would be someone out there that can do the same closer to you. Keep up the good work mate!
  8. Dude those crystal blinkers are mad they look heaps better then the ones i've got. Any idea what they are off? I see you relocated them as i've done. Nice work looks good! As for the whitewall tyres I had some guy hand me a business card the other month and he specialised in painting them on your existing wheels. He had a range of different colours too. Can't remember the company but its here in Wollongong.
  9. That looks mad dude, love the shinyness (if thats even a word) lol. Keep up the good work, its coming along nicely.
  10. Hey man, yeah that was me. I haven't been on rollaclub for a while do to other comitments so I didn't even realise there was another cruise organised. I'll see what happens, i maybe partying for my birthday that weekend so could be a little hungover sunday, lol. I'll keep you informed. It sounds like a good idea tho, never really been on a cruise. Yeah I learnt to drive in a 200B, it was full of rust and the motor blew so much smoke, she had character and she still ripped a mad burn out! hahaha
  11. Hey nice ride you got there, spewing about that ding tho! Very original i think, I'm not a big fan of the spoiler, skirts and splitter but i have to say its growing on me. Still all in all ,you've done well so keep it up. :P
  12. Nice mate, Go the Dato's Lol :P
  13. Nice work mate, looks very sweet! I've been considering doin a diff conversion in my ke35 4AGE, i'm getting alot of axle tramping in my stock banjo. It'll prob break it sooner or later, lol. I'll be interested to see the progress. Keep up the good work. :P
  14. Ok cool, Carbon fibre is defiantely more flexible and stronger but costly :wink: thanks heaps for the info. I will look into.
