the pug hilux conversion is a bigger/more efficient front brake setup than most falcon/commode V8's. so it will stop something nearly 1/2 the weight with ease. ^apart from that.. what they said^ oh if your handy with a welder, coil over kits come up from time to time on ebay. can't find one atm

shit 54 ftlb sounds low. most of the guys at work use rattle guns to do up those bolts and ive never heard of a stretched/stripped thread yet. id go atleast 80 myself..

may i ask what it is? i don't have that japlish translator installed

don't worry jarrad, the rolla club is a close knit community! :P i was going to suggest posting this up on toymods to drum up some more interest but it looks like its going to be big enuff already

sick.. burnouts for everyone!

basically as tight as you can.. don't go bouncing off a 3 metre breaker bar on it but atleast 100/130ftlb would do most caliper bracket bolts bolts. id be using spring washers. most other manufacturers use them. are you using factory bolts? if so did they come with washers?

the volkswagen diesels are pearlers

you have been deposited!

new years gathering?

i crave info of a different sort.. whats your bank account details so we can all wire our deposits your way?? dishes suck, i have to do them aswell (and I'm always in the shit for not doing em).. i find rolla club much more exciting than dishes :P

ancullen, your not really comparing apples with apples with that last statement. those 2 vehicles being in designed for different purposes. so how much can a golf TSI tow? granted neither vehicle are for everyone. you just have to weigh up the considerations and see which one suits best. fuel consumption is a very small consideration to alot of people. as for the LPG vs petrol argument.. gas is indeed not really economical for everyone. but for someone like myself, it certainly is. i have an AU3 V8 5 speed one tonner. bought it 3 months ago, and have clocked 11,000km in that time (which is about 4-5000km less than this time last year average) a gas conversion on my car would be approx $2500. take the government grant = $500 the industry rule of thumb for gas is 20-25% more than petrol. so id get bout 650km on petrol, and an easy 500km on gas. it costs me $90 to get 650km on petrol $35 to get 500km on gas therefore i save $46.75 every time i fill up. therefore it would take me 6417km to pay the conversion off, (2 months) and from then on its money in my pocket! now i coulda bought a proton jumbuck for arguments sake, that would cost a fairbit less to run on petrol than the falcon, but sweet FA on a duel fuel falcon. hell the proton could handle 90% of the shit id be likely to do with it. but in MY case, id pay the extra $2 a day to own the falcon, because i regularly tow 1500kg-2000kg loads, come hay season i can fit an extra 15 bales on the back at a time. being a falcon parts are stacked 10 high at a wrecker and cheap as chips. how many protons are at the wreckers? and the extra space behind the back seat is a godsend. oh not to mention the effortless overtaking on the highway! like i said, car choices and fuel choices, neither are for everyone.. but having one over the other doesnt make the other one shit! (for the record jumbucks are freakin good cars)

nah f@$k her, I'm already in the dog house anyways.. all becuase i left the dissy rotor out of the green rolla, then told the missus she could drive it. so her and her friend missed out on a 'friends and family' night at a local jeweller. LOL I'm in the doghouse forever so i may aswell take the corolla and live in it

ok i have a moral dillema.. the missus birthday is on the 28th (sunday) and was plannin to bring her along.. except she refuses to go if take ether corolla.. so do i bring a corolla and risk being murdered for missing the bday (she says its ok, but u know wimmenz) and kick all yo asses, or do i take the yoot, keep the missus happy, and kick all yo arses anyways?

85 model.. could that be late ae71? if so the stud pattern and offset are up the shitter. fwd corollas have a weird stud pattern and don't fit later OR earlier KE's. ive tried a few times :P heres an idea john.. jack a back wheel up on both cars and try swapping wheels. if it fits, and turns properly and looks good, go with it!

lol.. it will take a little longer than 6 months to get this baby up and running! and the windsor can stay in the yoot thanks :) nice car, shame bout the bonnet

gaffa tape/burning newspaper up rectum ftw! should make this a poll :)

2 words... glad wrap

ke25-172654 we should make this thread sticky

well thats no fun :)

we should all buy some $50 bushbombs (no corollas) weld the diffs, wack some plates/permits on and drive em up.. then get pished and have some fun in the 'pit'

hmm ill have to take the oil squirters off the val and put on the green rolla! and if we're in the right place burnouts don't matter.. anyone have property nearby? my dad co owns a property just out of gisborne, but i don't think we'd be able to use it for shinanigans

sounds orrite, planning this early is great as we can sort out potential issues with time to spare.. and now some other have a deadline to get their projects finished how long would it take to get to bathurst from melb?

oh don't forget shitloads of burnouts ftw!

you know I'm up for that! insert southern here (my mouth)

yeah maybe, my missus is gettin rid of her 9000 turbo, (if we can find some sucke... err someone to buy it) and that means ill have a spare 9000turbo sitting there gathering dust. now I'm thinking if i can find a rwd adapter to suit this would be a cheap as chips stormer that would luv to piss off the purists ;p but yeah probs the rover. early KE's rock, you so gotta do that. actually i know where theres an early '20 sitting there rotting slowly. find the owner and shove some cash their way!
