13BT_KE20

agreed, where did you get the flares from?

nice work mate, looks like your doing the conversion properly with all the supporting gear. Only thing i see breaking would be your diff, got any plans to upgrade? Another rota rolla is never a bad thing

i use mother billet metal polish, found it to be the best. Pity its SOO expensive

IMO i think the offset looks ridiculus and i have no idea howd you get away with driving it like that. You would be pulled over straight away over here and defected. Clearly need flares, some decent size tyres would help it handle better to....

oldskool tuffness, i love it!

very entertaining 10 mins, quality driving!!!

car looks amazing mate, you should be very proud of it. can't wait to see it when its finished

Try wide grip chin ups, which is essentially the same movement. They'll be harder but are much better, i which to them from lap pull down about 3 months ago and havnt looked back!

car looks good, look forward to seeing it in person

rolling in style now hey? nice!!! doesnt take much to get them looking pretty good, let me know if you want some help :cool:

not likely! id be using WAY more than $5 worth of rear tyres pre drive car seems to tramp a fair bit more now, that was with the WORN tyres on the back. but ive just put on some fresh 205's on the back (which fill out the guards very nicely i might add) and havnt had a chance to test them out yet. EXACTLY! its a street car and a sleeper so no tubs at this stage Ive got some semi-slicks for the rear, i just need to find some more rims to put them on

yeh no worries, gonna have to start charging a petrol fee its already been stepped up a notch with the new set-up, might have the boost turned up by then :y:

sorry to hear Ryan, important thing is your ok. The car can wait till your better

at the next cruise, or we can go get some decent shots of the car sometime soon. Cooler weather=better you'll have to wait till a few others get there first spin before i start offering seconds haha

x2 time for wheelie bars i think, after you get some more wheels up footage/pics lol

lol ive been trying but the 195's on the rear just don't have the grip Drove the car today in the much cooler weather (mid 20's) and the car feels even better now, prob another 10rwkw id say. I'm keen to chuck it back on the dyno when its cooler. 30+ deg is def too hot for this car, for the driver and the car haha

after seeing your 20 i can't wait to see how this car turns out! I say leave the tyres/height, they fill the guards nicely, looks good and isnt too low. Smaller tyre=lower height-more rear camber and more unwanted attention

PICS OR BAN!

my hilux converison came in at just under $2g which included buying the diff (already shortended), getting new mounts, new tailshaft. Best upgrade i ever did after fitting the 13BT I still run a locker with the hilux diff, i don't like the LSD that comes with them (they open wheel sometimes) and an aftermarket one is $$$ I havnt had any problems with my locker and don't see me changing to an LSD anytime soon. I love my locker If i was you i would be checking the wreckers, some hilux models came out with a diff very very close to a KE55 diff width. That way only the mounts and tailshsft need to be done which will keep the cost down

sweetest $300 car ive seen

shed looking alot cleaner mate, nice work. New addition to the car collection is never a bad thing haha

attending pending cars completion
