thanks mate, n those aren't mine hah. I'm guessing my nana has been hitting the piss pretty hard! lol. also, does anyone have a bogger ke20/26 diff i can borrow for afew weeks? :yes:. I'm desperate!

all brand new gear. lol i wish i was mr money bags, this is why its taken me so long to do anything to this fken thing, been getting the cashhhh. dummy fitted up my rear rims tonight, 235/60s fit up prety much perfectly into the rear guards, its a damn snug fit but shouldn't need much modifying to make them sit in correctly. looks tough as smeg aswell. fitted them up so i could measure out how much i need to get my luxy diff shortened by. heres afew pics, don't mind the mess, its a bombsite atm lol.

haha yeh a little chinease man to wire it all up would b nice, iv got a mate who can wire up this stuff with his eyes closed tho so thats just as good i suppose! and yes more bits is always good, n i picked up some more stuff today! heres what i got- Velo Milano seats (fibreglass fixed back seats, 5kg each :dance:, and comfortable as smeg) Centerline Convo Pro 15x4" fronts with 145/60/15 front runners Centerline Convo Pro 15x7" rears with 235/60/15 mickey t street radials I'm gonna try fit the tyres after work on monday if i have time so i can take the rears along with my luxy diff over to the car and measure everything up so i can get the diff shortened n all that. once the diff is in and i have the front struts done i can piss it out of the garage finally heres some pics.

well done dougal things are happening nicely, pity your having some drama's with the paint application though. your doing a hell of alot more than i was ever gonna with the car though, so good goin :dance:. can't wait to see it once its all painted up.

picked up my microtech bits n pieces today. all up got my ignition coils (4, 2 for each rotor), ignition module, ecu and dash controller (which is fken awesome). heres a pic :)

nice pick up :P, good to see more panelvan's being brought back to life.

lol and i pinched some 15" steel wheels from an '08 model audi A3 on friday from work cos they where just gona chuck em out and they where 5 stud, so i thought i'd bring em home to see if i could bolt em to the hilux diff, they fit suprisingly! so I'm gona use them to transport the car around once the diff/front end is all in.

just a little update, got a hilux diff afew months ago which turned out to be useless so i ended up finding an RN25 2wd luxy diff, which will suit the corolla well, i need to get it cut done heaps obviously but thats sweet now. just need to offload the other diff now lol. should hopefully get my microtech bits soon, this week hopefully, n been talking to the dudes at PWR about getting an aluminium radiator made up and also getting an intercooler off them. i measured up my existing radiator, making it a little bigger as i hav a bit of free room i can use, sent them the pic n they made me up a drawing showing would it will look like, looks mad. i wasn't fast enough to reply to them yesterday so il have to wait till monday to hear back from them but once i pay em i should get everything within a week. also ordered some Velo race seats today, fken awesome fibreglass seat, comfortable as and they only weigh 5kg :cool:. ill be picking those up next saturday as they didn't have any in stock. decided on my wheel/tyre combo during the week aswell, was hoping to get everything today but they didn't have any rear wheels my size in stock and won't have any for 6 weeks , so I'm gona try get them directly from VPW or rocket industries. iv decided on Convo Pro 15x4" 1-3/4 back space (no dish) fronts with Nankang 165/60 tyres and 15x7" 3-3/8 (lots of dish) with 235/60/15 M/T street radials. can't wait when i get everything :P

did u have any issues clearing the leaf springs? i forgot how close they sat.

I'm guessing u managed to fit those with untubbed guards? (going by ur nickname), or did u have to massage the guards out abit? you reckon i could fit 8" convo pros on it? pm me if u want as I'm interested to know what u did.

yeh it should look tough ;). has anyone had much experience farting around with Hilux diffs? ive got a 4wd luxy diff (unknown model) lying around which i wouldn't mind using in the rolla. only thing stopping me is that it has massive mofo 6 stud drums on it which are no good to me. does anyone know how hard it would be to change to 5 stud drums/30 spline axles? I'm gonna be changing the guts of the carrier to run 4.3:1 gears and a full spool i just wanna know if I'm wasting my time trying to change over the drums/axles or if i should just ditch it and try find a 5 stud 2wd diff?? any help would b good.

i hvn't done anything about rims yet, i will soon. gona try leave it too the last minute so i make sure i get the right sizes. I'm yet too see how wide i can go in the rear end first. i was going to originally get it mini tubbed but after a closer look the chassis rails are too close to the tubs so i'd have to get the rails chopped out and moved further in towards the centre of the car, which prety much smegs me off since i still wanna drive the car on the street. I'm gonan get the tubs cut out and boxed right up against the rails. I'm hoping to get another 1/2 or even an extra inch if i can and try squeeze 8" Convo Pro's under it (iv finally decided on those), which as much dish as ican run lol. going for 4" at the front end. ye dougal soon as the thing is up and running and the motor is run in ill be taking it straight to calder n see what times i can get out of it ;).

thanks guys, I'm wanting to spray it that new holden blue (voodoo) i think its called, looks awesome. I'm not going for the sleeper look with this car, its gonna scream dragster but still be driven in the street (sometimes) ;). it will do 10's no sweat. my mates 1300 wagon with a smaller turbo and extend port made 320rwkw and ran a 10.4, mines a bridgeport and bigger turbo (its basically a T66) should make around the 340rwkw. if i can launch it properly n get traction i should see low 10s easyyyy.

got home from sydney tonght to find a bunch of boxes n smeg on my bed, it was like christmas lol. got my turbo n all my other bits n my clutch bits so I'm gona bolt up my flywheel/clutch tommorow most likely so that its all ready to go. ordered my Microtech ECU yesterday aswell which i should get on monday hopefully. heres some pics anyway. the turbo is pretty damn beasty, i love it lol. <- standard turbo against new one. ;)

can anybody help?

no real reason, moreso just preference wise. i've driven a fair few brass clutch driven cars and i just love the way the drive. the car won't be seeing any traffic or be driven daily so I'm not too concerned about that :P. yeh it will be fun once it all comes together, aiming for 300+rwkw.

thought i should post something in here as i havnt updated in a while!! ordered afew bits n pieces yesterday, which should arrive next week. ill be in sydney all of next week for work so ill hav a nice suprise waiting for me when i get home. heres what iv ordered: Garrett T04Z BB turbo :D Turbosmart 50mm PowerGate wastegate Turbosmart 50mm RacePort BOV Turbosmart E-Boost 2 boost controller and a Turbo beanie, just cos they look cool lol, and help to stop the paint in the engine bay from melting aswell. Exedy 1-ton pressure plate PBR 4-puk brass button clutch Billet Flywheel its taken me a while to sort my **** but the lil pano is still alive and kicking :P, will get pics etc once all my stuff arrives.

hey guys, I'm need to find a stock bogger diff to whack in my ke26 pano so i can move the shell around and am wondering what diffs would be suitable to use? i need something that i can chuck straight in so a stock '26 diff would be ideal but I'm having trouble tracking one down. any help would be appreciated as i need to get this thing out of the garage urgently.

i'm keen for portsea :(.

cruise around the monash uni car park? sounds awesome.. lol.

i don't think i'v ever been to bacchus, ill have to venture out that way one day. not this w/e tho!

Great Ocean Road.

I'm in Wantirna. i'll pretty much go anywhere tho, not fussed!

yeh i kno i was thinking that while the dude was doin the walls lol, i can still mask up the tyres n give the rims a quick paint if i feel the urge.

the doors on my pano are just on 1m long, they look pretty much the same length as ke20 doors to me, i hvn't got any to check though. 4 door's are way too short.
