  1. Firefox is good. love tabbed browsers. i think maybe Fook is referring to web development work, in his hate for IE. you have to try to cater for everyone in that respect. doesn't make your job easy if the big players have no regard for web standards.
  2. so long as the throttle spindles are good in your weber, do it yourself. only costs about $50 for a rebuild kit, plus $10 for a tin of carby cleaner.

    Ke55 Sedan

    nice ke55. :cool:
  4. you could probably find one with a better shell for a few hundred dollars. if you want a ke3x, find a 2 door sedan, they rust way less. that te27, mad. the panel beating bill would probably be worth more than the finished cars value. would have been better off finding a decent ke25 shell, and doing a number job on it and swapping all the good bits over.
  5. i think it is more a kids thing. ie under 25's who are heavily influenced by fashion, whether it be a good thing or not. you diehard drifters, don't get your knickers in a twist.
  6. this made me laugh "maybe its me, but drifting is just dumb. any sport that has to rely on judges to give an opinion of who did something better isn't really a sport." "its like ice skating. you either love to watch it or think its stupid. either way everyone hates judges."
  7. Online corolla 88-97 manual
  8. full credit for the driveline upgrade. way more original then the majority of corolla owners. i like the idea of the metallic silver bumpers, tailight surrounds etc. would suit it. f@$k the whitewalls. wrong era of car. would look stupid on anything later than a ke20. not so sure about 17's or 18's. don't really suit the era of the car. that said something like FR17s would look good, not much else suits. otherwise it's more a fashion victim type of thing. 15's are good, something tough like dragways. you need dish, ke30's look tough with dish on the back. the above is my opinion. if you don't like it well...
  9. spray a heap of rust converter around inside the boot/wheelarch, before you roll the guards.
  10. i agree. if you were to pay the extra upfront for te27/37 and keep it standard, you would get way more resale. this compared to, if you were to buy a run of the mill corolla and spend the same amount all up with mods.
  11. cars are just a waste of money. you should try to keep them as standard as possible, and any mods you do, make sure they can be easily undone. this will give you a greater market if the time comes for resale. you can always sell the good bits separately to make your money back.
  12. should give you 2 car lengths over the quarter. :P
  13. i don't mind the te27's, but i more prefer cars with clean lines. my favourite ke25:
  14. do it. sounds like it will work out a lot cheaper than a 4AGE conversion.
  15. the 20's are ok. just a bit harder to get the look right. that said there are some very nice ones out there. the pics you posted Jamie are real nice....i'd race 'em.
  16. yea Jamie, they are nice wheels. would love a set for my ke15 later. here is a pic of my most favourite ke15 i have seen yet:
  17. yep, i've had a frayed cable jam when i used to have my ke30. i have a ke70 cable that has a the inner cable plastic coated at the end. no chance of fraying. just need to drill the hole in the linkage oversized as the knob on the end of the cable is larger.
  18. the bumpers on the ke10 look crap, like its wheels. weird side indicators. love the wheels on both the ke2x. cragars? look the same as dragway pros. they would have to be one of the best to suit ke30s and earlier cars. look real tough :P speaking of chrome bumpers for te7? check out this. i'm normally no real fan, but i like muchly.
  19. they were big in the early 90's.. can't remember the proper name for them. i do remember this tosser who lived a few doors up at the time having them on his x pac cortina. "sex pac" as he rebadged it. (whatever happened to the vomit smiley?)
  20. i can understand people wanting to get rid of the ke70 "bumper car" bumpers, but they look stupid going without completely. i'd be trying to graft on ae92 ones or something.
  21. yea, acrylic is easier to work with. easier to fix mistakes. also it generates less overspray than enamel.
  22. fast 4's and hot 4s these days suck. more for young nancy boys who spend more time in front of the mirror than their girlfriends. all the newer cars suck (yawn), and most of the older cars are raped and f@$ked up. funny how they are all turning into stick mags. why not just go buy a penthouse or playboy.
  23. my 5 year old twins are drooling. "ooowah, lemen nems......yummy!" "nemen nems!" "sschluurp, sschluurp"
  24. just had 2 packets of noodles. spicy. mouth is burning now and have a bit of a sweat. love hot food. think i have a chilli worst in the fridge calling my name....
  25. mmm, i'm thinking of making some noodles myself. not the maggi type but the hot indo noodles, with the 5 flavouring sachets. i've found it's best to use extra water, add your flavour straight away, and drain off all the water before you serve. the flavour is in the noodles, not the concentrated soup you otherwise end up with. i'm over spirits and coke. used to drink scotch/bourbon and coke all the time when i was younger. i can't drink much coke these days. it is evil shit, it eats your guts, and chews all the enamelling off your teeth. dentists hate the shit. have you seen what it does to an old tarnished 1 or 2 cent coin? also good for taking oil stains off your driveway. mmm....beer! carlton coldies, and middies. we were going through 3 cartons a week up until recently, when we removed a big chunk of stress out of our lives. back to a sensible carton a week now. also like stones green ginger wine.
