  1. u would be in heaven at the indy races
  2. my old mate used a missile switch to control his neons, very easy to operate quickly when u see the pigs he had a lot of neons i say, don't look like a tosser in the first place
  3. iwas also under the impression that you are not allowed any other lights. You can find out about this. I suggest you get knowledge on the legal side of this so you can be confident in not being defected. Just because you have seen it on other cars doesnt mean its legal.
  4. actually you can have red lights if they point backwards. just a little loophole that might be of use
  5. its not a waste of money. playing the pokies is a waste of money. building your own car to your tastes is not a waste of money. its awesome.
  6. keep it, its your baby i have come to grips with the fact that if you put money into a car you don't get it back. its about pride and at the end of the day i think its worth the money unless you get stupid with spending. once I'm finished with my car it will be a work of art. if you buy someone else's creation i think its just sad. if you spend more in the first place, sure, by a better canvas for your masterpeice, but at the end of the day you have made a car to suit you and what you want out of a car. you CANNOT buy that. you can only build it.
  7. has anyone seen the widebody mercedes getting around brisbane mainly around the northside? its super phat
  8. OMG but if there was a "drift race" people would cheat and not drift in order to win, and it would be a competition to see who can drift the least :P
  9. yay coventry
  10. yes, the bumpers aren't incredibly cool, but without them i think the ke70 looks stupid, its designed to have the big useful rubber bumpers That ke70 painted matt black with AE86 bumpers that was posted up here springs to mind, it was very well pulled off
  11. omgwtflolffs
  12. I'm not turned on by the lip
  13. well yes, it is a show pony motorsport, considering the whole aim of the game is like... style no racing or anything, its just style. pretty left of centre crazy stuff... I'm amazed its even a sport
  14. thats really weird first up... is this a big cover up for yourself because you feel so filthy after writing in to hot 4's? :D
  15. those measurements are taken at operating temperature too, NOT when the engine is cold ...
  16. don't do that someone correct me if i'm wrong but i thought about doing that and realised that maybe the gap there is so wide because it is in mid-cycle... btw I have the tapping noise in my 4K-C too. I adjusted mine and it still has the rattling noise so if it works for you i'll try again... I think the parts are just flogged Nevertheless, gregories manual states: intake 0.20mm exhaust 0.30mm there is a procedure in rotating the engine so that certain pistons are TDC when adjusting certain clearances, i can't remember off the top of my head, but its all in the gregories manual. Don't just adjust them all without rotating the engine. BUY A GREGORIES MANUAL :) If you get rid of the rattling drop a post saying so..
  17. something's wrong with my pictures
  18. and oh yes, now i remember kramer's invention :D
  19. Like this? i wonder if the operation on the dog would be more expensive than the bagging and tubbing no, but seriously, this is about how it SHOULD look with a 40mm drop: before after and after i think its an improvement, but after all its only a photochop
  20. thanks for that, very insightful :D Yeah Nick I measured the ride height as it is, stock, and its about 20cm off the ground. If king low's are 4cm drop, thats almost a quarter of the way down to the ground. A nice and safe 6cm away from the legal limit. Very speedbump friendly too The top of the front tyres are about 8cm below the visible lowest point of the front arches, the rear tyre and arch have a 6cm gap. Going by these calculations, half of the space at the front gone and almost all of the space at the back would make for a phat look. I mean there are those cars that have their rears buried in the arches and the fronts only just scraping through, but I don't think its worth the pains associated with it. Honestly no, I'm not really that serious about handling. I don't have that attitude towards cars. I'm happy with it being GOOD as opposed to being a fussy competitive bitch. Therefore I wouldn't really worry about factory springs being too soft as you reckon jamie. BTW getting lows as opposed to superlows would make it a more comfortable ride! My car is not a racecar. Its just my much loved Corolla :) I mean, why have a really uncomfortable ride just to look good... thats pretty sad. So yeah to sum it all up, at the moment king lows are looking the goods. On another note, I've put the monroe GT gas shocks in the back of the car, I have to say it feels a LOT smoother and holds the road a LOT better. Keeping in mind I was driving with one shock completely disconnected before, but hey. Nah its definately an improvement and worth the money :D
  21. might look into lovell's
