    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.
  15. Thanks for the info, how did you find this out? What about a carbon fibre bonnet I see alot of Skylines, Lasers and pulsars on the road with them these days, would this be illegal or where would I find out? I helped a mate make a mould for his celica, bonnet and guards in one peice, for the speedway so Its ok for them to use but is there restrictions using fibreglass parts on the track?
  16. Hey guys I'm curious to know if it's illegal to have fibreglass guards and/or bonnet on a registered car? I've heard off a friend that it may be illegal? I was thinking about making some moulds of front guards and bonnet for a ke30 - 55 and making them in carbon fibre or fibreglass. This will be a long term project since I don't have full resources at the moment but I'm moving towards getting myself setup. Will this be of interest to anyone? If I get enough interest I may make them available to all. As I said it will be a long term project as I don't have full resources yet.
  17. Very simple indeed, I made the mistake of putting my globes in backwards, the brake lights worked but the taillights didn't, stupid me. Check everything more then twice :D Also Check the resistance in your wires could be a corroded wire somewhere, check all the earths too. I also had a faulty indicator stalk and my lights wouldn't work at all. Get a test light and check all your connections to see if they're getting power, could help chase the problem.
  18. Yeah I was thinkin of gettin' a few other things from the same ebay store too, I guess ya right. I could always just post em back on ebay if they don't fit. Thanks mate, you made my decision for me, hahaha
  19. Hey guys just thought i'd throw this up here. Does anyone know if these window rollers will fit a corolla, it says they're for celica but they look alot like the ones in my ke35. I asked the seller and he said "erm don't know" Ebay Celica window rollers Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks, Mick.
  20. Nice man, well done. Very shiney! :lolcry:
  21. I'll definately meet up with you guys at the lighthouse if it's a goer. 9th of December you say, I'll be keeping my eyes on this thread! I'll try n get a mate along with his ke35 too. Cheers, Mick.
  22. I had this problem in my car and the little barrel that is suppose to float in your tank had a tiny pin hole and would sink to the bottom, therefore the gauge would always appear empty. I'd suggest to plug the wire from the sender to some source of power to check if your gauge works and if it does then check the float for leaks by removing the sender from the tank and give it a shake to see if its full of fuel. If it is then i'd suggest taking it to a professianal to fix it or see if you can get a bit of cork to replace it, I've been told some cars come out with cork as the float. Cheers, Mick
  23. Did you try and check the float for leaks? If the little barrel has a tiny pin hole in it it'll sink to the bottom and your gauge will give you an incorrect reading. I had this happen to me during the week, I tried repairing it n it just kept blowing holes in it so I made myself a new float out of lite weight poyester bog I use at work, I need to keep checking it to make sure it holds up to the fuel. I've been told you can use cork aswell.
  24. I am also from the gong, well dapto! A friend of a friend has the exact same car as mine, same colour same model only difference is the mags, and he lives in north gong near north gate! Give ya a wave if I'm cruisin past!
