bit of an update have a shed to work on my car now.. so its moving at a nice rate now d dropped a f series to me today which will be recieving a tomei 2 way for an altezza/supra, in the coming weeks, new mounts and most likely rear coil over conversion. got all my tubing for my roll cage, my brother and i are going halfs on a new tube bender and getting rid of the speedwerx one that works on a vertical plane with a bottle jack in exchange for one that works on a horizontal plane and is hydraulic, and you can set degrees better and stuff, both give un crimped or kinked bends, ones just way easier to use for large things such as main hoops in roll cages. So that shall be knocked up probably before i even start putting the engine in. Have played around almost got cross member sorted, might be able to work with the original sump more than i had planned Water to air cooler will be going where the batter WAS, which will now be behind the passenger seat in a nice little ally box. Drawn up a design for an inlet mani that will be made in the coming weeks. Similar to beau yates's getup 9's are all polished to a mirror finished and centers out awaiting paint, just gotta get some etch primer, got new nuts for the centers so they will looks pretty spiff when all together. With new f series diff which is a smidge wider than t, plus 35mm oversize bolt ons, the 9's will have some of the most uber fitment. Front will be flared by who ever wants to raise their hand for cash, when acompanied with a 5mm slip on front rear track will be perfecto. Even with rona arms, which are still being replaced by rose jointed adjustable jobies. But all in all on track for estimated build time...... for now, dooo dooooooo dooo touch wood

intercoolers can drop temperatures to below atmo, depending on your speed and how much air they get, but not by a great deal, not enough to even begin making this plausible.

bp will have to be avoided for a fair while before they start even remotely making a loss. wool worths can start up a shop and not make a single sale for 5 years with out a worry.

good stuff

havnt heard of the cruise, but if its driving ill come. is an 86 cage, ill be either adding onto or building a complete newy from scratch, ive got many metres of chrome olly and a pipe bender sitting in the garage mocking me. roo, hahaha
-
why you using s13 hats.
-
havnt made them yet, just tossing ideas around at the minute, ill either just get tokicos and nice eibach rated springs, and much around with my wheelbase a little bit, ive got adjustable 4 links, so ill play around with them. Nice panard and sway bar. But ive seen a setup made recently relatively easily and cheaply that caught my attention, will be looking further into it.

they were all stupidly priced and rooted. gen 3 3sgte has more power much more torque, more reliable, easier conversion, keeps it in the family, power curve suits drift better, got a good price on it, doesnt use half a tank for one run, can trust it going un trailered to the track, keeps my engineer happy for what ever reason, etc etc etc
-
well the car is being rebuilt at the moment some stuff to note gen 3 3sgte w box revamp of front coil overs and brakes, mazda fc calipers rear coil overs using custom mounts etc full cage spray job bucket seats rims with semi slicks up front average stuff out back for obvious reasons. rebuild of rear end tighten lsd using full st205 dash and cluster etc rims are 14x8 - 16 ssr front 14x9 -20 rays rear, tyres front are 195 45 14 s595 evo rear are various 195 50 14 bolt on guards pretty much have everything i need, just waiting on a sump from a fella in syd, and a clutch FORK for for a 2s bellhousing if anyone out there has one. piccie poo's
-
tapped a tyre wall at archerfield, it did literally buff out. other than that nothing really, hit a roo in my old rolla, not alot of damage. My cars tend to stay on the road, albeit sideways.
-
its funny because in most of my photos you never see the front rims.
-
good to see your not using chrome wheels anymore

that sucks, i live in buderim, hate to think they could be looking at my baby too. -
well i realised its been AGES since i have been on here, even though i recently wacked a rolla club sticker on the back of my custard angler, anyhoo, the build is almost finished, I'm very happy with my little rolla at the moment, chasing a bit more power etc, clean her up a little etc etc etc etc etc etc etc. Anyhoo here are some pics and a video from queensland raceway

fitted power steering arms and 14x8 wheels on the front. MUCH MUCH more angle, great for parking too :)
-
i can't remember how much it was, i know i asked for 2 black and 2 white of the RC ones not the web page ones. Think it was like 24 bucks or something, he will have the details in his transaction records, i put driftke70 as the thingo. Worst comes to worst i can dig it up and send him the pic or something. I dunno.
-
Yeah gday, i ordered some stickers off a page on this site, can't seem to find the page anymore, but anyhoo, i paid money into nicks account, yet to see or hear anything about my stickers, I ordered a fair few too.
-
yeah i agree with paulie, lets devote more attention to his car instead, cause hes more special.
