13BT_KE20

PM sent Rollcage arrived yesterday, turbo and manifold should be here tomoro :jamie:

i think you'll find that is due to the cost of the motors, even import blocks (in basically unknown condition) sell for $5g. I well known workshop built 20B sold for over $10g recently and that didnt even include inlet manifolds

sounds like it was a good turnout which is nice, anybody get any pics???

I hate seeing peoples pride and joys smashed, ive had it happen to myself so i know how it feels. I'm sure most are the same. Glad your ok and i hope you can source another shell and rebuild it bigger and better

spotted mitch4397 again today, along bridge road about 830pm?

very cool first car mate, congrats on the buy!

was nice to meet mate, car looks sweet in real life. Has such a fat stance. Pity the merc was so dirty and i was so tired otherwise i would of got you to take some snaps of it

nice progress, always great to see another RE corolla be built

blew one of the JBL 6x9's, they were already in the car when i got it so they are probably just getting old. So i bought a pair of JVC 360W 4 way 6x9's

I just bought a brand new garret T04E and HKS manifold with external gate turbo specs AR .70 R .82 Stock S4 turbo is AR .45 i believe and R .80, with the stock turbo boost was dropping off to 6-7 psi in the top end which was hurting my power figure. New turbo should fix this problem, so while seriously increasing my front wheel size ill also be getting double the boost up top (fingers crossed). Should results in a very healthy power figure : )

TELL ME ABOUT IT!!! one of the few things that annoy me about the exterior Ive been meaning to remove it and get a new one put in the correct spot

yeh ive seen your car parked near my house on a couple of occasions now, cars still filthy. Going away over the weekend so don't see much point in cleaning it anyway, only going to get dirty from the country driving Your car looks very nice btw, that tiny dent in the FR guard has always annoyed me though. Otherwise its pretty neat

^^^^very well put, if i was to every own a commie i would have to as u described

:lolcry: pity i get spotted when the cars filthy dirty, just havnt had time in the last wk to clean it. I hate driving it around how it is atm

looks like theres a fair few custom parts on the car, very nice! Got a spec list for us? power figure?

going away this weekend so can't, sorry dude. Car looked sweet the other day btw

looks great, that front on shot reminds me so much of my car. Interior looks very neat and tidy. I prefer the stock grill

horsepower isnt everything, he makes a fair bit more torque. Atleast its better than most the poo box commies that only have rims, exhaust and lowered Still a heavy slow tho.........

:no2: :y:

oil seals in the turbo are gone, so cars off the road for a while till the turbo upgrade is complete. Hopefully wont take too long, especially seeing as i just renewed the rego (always the way)

yeh the car has changed ALOT since being sold, i remember seeing it at a dyno day here in adelaide a few yrs ago. Sounds mental and pulled some decent numbers, back then it was a street car

:jamie:

RX7 injectors are actually 550cc

exactly, and I'm sure the rest of the drivetrain will be made suitable within time. The more tuff oldschool rolla's the better i say!

Def 1 or 2 exactly how they are in the pics pretty hard on a FWD car because of the offset, you would need a widebody kit to get the wheels inside the guards
