so with front and rear two way lsd, all wheel drive turbo only making 202awkw I get a 14 sec penalty hmm isnt that a bit unfair... :hmm:

Crap! Haha. I don't doubt there are good mechanics out there but the stereotypes are typically true... even you guys (being hobby-mechanics or professional/paid) admit it.
I just can't be f@$ked with trying to find a nice person who will fix my car properly for a price that is fair for both of us. I guess I'm gonna have to do a bit of searching regardless of how much I complain haha. :hmm:
Cheers.
what is wrong with the car?.......unless there is some thing well out of whack a tune up is easy and some thing you could undertake if you have some one there to guide you or to fall back on.

Found some one cheaper 400 +plus parts
supreme heads 9274 7200.
This is not flow tested.
Chris
4k heads are cheap....try your own porting. get a die grinder and have a go. I used to do my k series and got good results fairly easy. let them do the vales and seat after.
just a thought

yeah see that doesnt bugg me it was just this silly woman was so damn high and mighty about it, got me agitated. And it didnt help that the check out chick was pretty cute. So i wanted to stand up for her.... lol
Y know I'm 50 next week and its taken me a looong time to realise you don't win an argument with a woman, especially a dumb one......but I have found a comment that really pisses most of them off it goes like this
woman ranting and raving........I reply " y know child birth just didnt do anything for your figure huh?"
you should have told all about the the cost to the planet of making those reusable bags.

was probably the AE 71 sprint four door. aussie model, the only difference to a normal ae71 was a wing on the boot and some stripes

yep I got one. but I want the cv shaft back.
all I want is the complete hub don't need the shaft........could you give me a call on 0418 921 686. I don't have your number anymore it was in the work phone
-
hi folks does any one have a front left hub or know where I can source one in good cond for a twin cam AE82.

cheers brian

was a good day out.
u missed out damo!
and fukn miggy where are all these ghey rollaclub c**ts.
probably getting over the pride march
hahaha
.........hey got plenty of time now but no ute to pickup the engine. Ghey bosses son.....so get me a job!!
-
how about a second hand 3k hahahhahaha
think about your insurance..........not the one you pay for the third party one..........unless you stay within the law,approved modifications. if you hit , hurt , kill some one then expect to share a room with bubba and keep the company of men for a looong time.
ask the advice of the guys at the pits what will be accepted and insurable. then drive it with peace of mind!!
there are plenty of options JUST ask don't expect it to be legal
old yep old and boring.......huh corolla bloke

so what are going to race in?.....type of car

hey guiys, ive got a ke30, n id like sum camber, 2 degrees sounds nice
so anyways, jsut wondering if thers any easy control arm way to get some, i know xt130(corona) control arms work to give 2 degrees on an 86
jsut wondering are ther any similar options for a ke30, maybe ke70 control arms or something, or are they jsut the same as ke30?
any help appreciated :D
cheers
2 degrees for street driven car is going to wear your tyres on the inside at a fair rate.......consider that before you choose.
if you have a drop saw or can get access to one, try this.
you need to cut your lower control arm outside the sway bar mount. a drop saw will give a nice even cut with a straight edge an angle grinder will do the same but not be as tidy. I would then make a piece of metal that would add an inch to the overall length [which you measured before you cut......several glasses of wine made me forget to mention that bit hic....hicup]
you will need access to a welder at this point preferably mig, ....weld in the piece of metal you have made to suit the profile of the cut control arm. ensure the arm is still straight, the plate the under section of the arm from one end to the other, grind off exposed welds and it will look standard with a plate unedrneath covering the internal side of the welds
cheers

hey guys, just wandering if anyone could help me with my problem. last nite, in the wet i was in a 2 lane roundabout and a truck started coming into my lane, i swerved and slid out 180 degrees into a big gutter, the truck obviously drove off and i was stuck there, i have rims on the back of my rolla, they are 16inch alloys and stockies on the front, i hit the gutter with the rear passenger wheel first, now I'm getting a sound when I'm driving its like as if the wheel is buckled or sumthing, i took the wheel off and put another same one on, the sound is still there, yet not as loud. i had a look at the struts, they arent bent, so i don't no what it could be, do u think maybe a hub? but the hud doesnt feel loose at all, maybe a lose drumshoe? i would really appreciate any help. thanks guys.
what sort of car? front or rear wheel drive

it's cheaper to buy a 3TGTE, you can grab them for <$1500AUD with loom computer, manifolds and turbo.
much better solution as you get low comp pistons, I believe stronger rods, twin cam, and all the EFI gear.
Cheers
Jordan
yes the turbo motor does have better rods, but don't use the std rod bolt. Std bolt= bang
You can get the 3tc efi gear fairly cheaply but the throttle body is small
also as mentioned above if you use the std 3tc pistons the static compression will dictate a very low boost be used.
the 3tgteu is not a great motor and if you ahve to change the engine I wouldnt use one of these, I would used a 4agze
cheers
