Hi guys, havent updated much on the rolla for a while. Made it on the cover of Fast Fours magazine this month which is cool. Very happy with the feature and with pics, havent done any new mods for a while but ill be changing diff ratios soon and Lsd.

Thanks guys, the radiator is also out of an Honda S2000 its a Koyorad aftermarket radiator.that looks trick as dude. what radiator is that out of?
-
Thanks mate, the hardest part would be the modified cross member as i had to space it down and notch a section out aswell as custom mounts obviously. Also the modified tunnel to fit the s2k gearbox which is tall. I ran it on the dyno at a show and it made 125 rwkw
-
Thanks guys I'm really happy with the way its turned out. Ive had alot of help from the boys in my club and from good mates that helped me all the way.

Small update on the rolla fitted a few suspension bits from the states. Negative camber roll center adjusters and adjustable heavy duty control arms which are a work of art. Also Selectnine did a photo shoot of the rolla for THE-LOWDOWN.COM which should be featured in the near future. I also tried on some R34 Gtr rims on for fun and to my surprise 18x9 fit in the rear but fronts were way off.

Looks tuff az , looking forward to seeing it at toyotafest and having a better look. Should be running 10s soon. Good on you mate !
-
Yeah mate they were suspension bushes, i decided to also re make gearbox cross member with better bushes. My self and the Radrollaz boys will be at Toyota fest this year, come say hi and check out the car.Sounds good. So i presume that your old mounts were based around suspension bushes being nolathane. did you swap out your transmission mounts as well?
Gunna be at any shows soon. I gotta check the rolla out.
-
thanks mate.That color red looks amazing. It goes well with the honda text too.
-
Not sure were they came from my fabricator got them off his brother and they apparentley get used on alot of hot rods. They are alot better than the old ones and still are quite firm and are actually rubber as opposed to nolathane that i had in there before.Where did you find those super low profile engine mounts. the second ones you built look great. Are they much softer then the first ones you built??
-
Thanks mate, ive put about 2500km on the rolla in the last 6 months i try and drive it at least once a week but don't always have time unfortunatley.The more I check on this thread, the more the car grows on me!
Have you put many kays on it?
-
thanks mate, havent done any track time yet but the rotors are looking crap already but they always do. Hubs section of rotor still looks ok but outer bits looking average.nice mick.
flawless work. How are the painted rotors holding up? have you had it at the track yet?
-
Thanks Robski, i appriciate your kind words mate. Daisy is definatley looking the goods, i was supprised to get an award at showcased considering some of the cars there.Congrats Mick on the trophy you picked up mate, Daisy looks amazing. The new rocker cover looks great and it is those little details that make Daisy stand out from the crowd. You are certainly the benchmark when it comes to KE30's (in my opinion) .......... no offence to Marty. LOL. :yes:
-
Thanks kevin pics look great !
-
hi mate, i used a small belt sander to get rid of casting marks. I then used a flat block with 80 grade sand paper and blocked the flat sections of the rocker cover. I finished it off with 240 grade all over and then used hyfill 2pac primer. I then blocked that also and finihed it off with 800 grade and it was ready for paint.How did u get the rocker cover all smooth? What process did u have to undertake?
-
thanks Matt, gave her a wash for a few up coming shows.wow it still looks that good underneath! very nice mate.
-
Looking good mate, good to hear your also using as many s2k parts as possible. I must say your taking it alot further than me, keen as to see it come together. I was also considering the aircon side of things as i have all the bits also but I'm not sure ill go that way. Might have to see how you do your ac set up and get a few ideas. Keep those pics coming !
-
Rocker cover is all done, also tried my slicks on today and took daisy for a quick drive and struggled to even get them warm, I'm sure a track day will sort that out. Also gave the undercarrige a wash in preperation for a few up coming shows.

thanks mate.love your work, car is beautiful.

Small update, bought a second rocker cover for the F20C as my other one got scratched slightly. Decided to get rid of the casting marks and block it down and get it really flat before hyfill primer and fresh candy paint.
-
hey Robski this build thread is old this car now belongs to Mitchell one of the boys in my club. he is currently finishing the conversion .
-
Thanks mate i appriciate your feedback, id have to say the sr conversion is cheaper and easier aswell as having more power. f20c is harder ,more expensive but its unique and is fun to drive. hard choice really.WOW Mick, The engine looks so clean and the car looks as though it was built with that engine in it from the factory.
Can't wait to begin my next project (first Rolla project). I'm still tossing up between the tried and tested SR20DET or the F20C. I have loved the V-Tec and their Mild/Wild Cam for some time now so I am leaning that way. Possibly picking up a 4 door KE30 on Thursday, fingers crossed.
In all a thorough build that you should be very happy with.
