TOMsGPTurbo

Hi guys 195's 15" rim low profile - Thanks heaps Irokin demuire - ok thanks for that advice, I think Fulcrum do a free check so I might get that before hand, If I buy all the suspension parts could we do it on a rolla help day? NickAE86- Yeh I have him on MSN but he doesn't reply to my posts even if his online so I hope he does have time to fix my car thats if he is still interetsed at all - I'll call him soon. Stasi who gave me the ECU has now set me up with a RX7 Intercooler and piping to suit EP82 engine so I'm gonna get that installed when it comes up... its great timing too because my i/c is starting to get a hole from where it rubs on the bonnet :D Oh yeh, in reply to your questions above, I have spent around 6 grand (not including purchase price of 3 grand) on the car if I did sell it in its current state of tune - (it would not pass a roadworthy, so no rego) I would proberly get around 2 grand on a good day.... so cutting my losses would only get me another problem... so I may aswell stick to my current problem and fix it.

Thank you for the support :no: My out look is long term, and unfortunatly the only factor that has stopped me from doing the car up and stopping these problems from occuring in the 1st place is money. If I did decide to cut my losses I would indeed buy a Sprinter (Like your one Nick - (Arani says hi and goodluck!)) I've come so far already and I can't give up - when I think about it I get nightmares :D The problems which I have now - are major problems but problems that would occur to any old car in time - since I use the car more then an average person would use their car it is expected to have that amount of ware'n'tear (near 1000km a week) :D Some good news tonight - Stasi (Rolla II Owner from New Castle) is giving me his 4EFTE ECU for free! Nick how do I contact the suspension guy? Anthony originally found the problems with the electrics and last time I spoke to him he was keen to fix it all up. Now I need 2 x tyers - do you think I should just get some cheapies? would they fit on my rims (P.S: Teddy their not for sale hehe). One day when I we hold a help day do you think we could change the clutch on maxi? its hard cause its FWD :sad: The fure of maxi: after his suspension, elec probs, cosmetic, I want to get a turbo kit and fmic maybe a LSD - small body kit, gut out the interior 2 x bucket seats, and make him a mountain climber - long term goals. Many thanks once again for your support, I hope to fix maxi (I'm sounding like a broken record!!) and get to a rolla-club cruise! Take care Tom. P.S: when things start going wrong - fix em before they make other things go wrong!

Thanks Ben, well...I'm not sure if we could fix his problems? Today when I was walking to the car I looked at the wheel and it looked sorta strange... like a flatspot on it... but get this... its completely all lumpy!!! I'm scared its gonna blow out :no: The worst thing is that I'm completely broke and the car is near dead - the clutch is engaging as soon as I lift it off the floor so I'm trying not to use gears to much ... also today when I was braking down a hill a loud humming sound was coming from the rear left... :D Wish I could afford a 2nd car like a seca but for the money to buy one.. I could just fix maxi.. hmmm what to do???? Anyone wanna rob a bank with me ;) I could get a loan for 3grand for over 7yrs but the catch is I have to use the whole 3 grand... so I need: 2 x tyers, allignment, 4 x shocks, 4 x springs, FMIC, 4EFTE ECU + Harness + sensors, clutch and maybe a new turbo (I think its burning oil slowly), rust fixed, tint redone.... no doubt that would easily be 3 grand but I only earn 400 a week damn gov. jobs... :D so the interest would kill me!! Ohwell... :sad:

Well... since I don't have a 4E ECU and wiring harness and sensors .... maybe I should invest in a aftermarket system... what's a good one? My suspension is making rattle sounds all the time... whats a good place to get it done? I need a FMIC whats a good place to get it done? Clutch is getting very soft to push in??? whats up with that? I'm thinking maybe I should just take it to a shop and say fix it ... leave and then get the shock of my life when I have to pay the bill with a loan :D What would you do in my shoes... (I wanna keep the car) - another choice is to buy another car 500 buck 323 or something to get from bris to coast and back daily... but if I do this I think its sorta giving up on the car..

I think its cool, and those other guys are going to get it all back one day... good ol Karma P.S: Not Karma Sutra grim.. i know thats what you were thinking lol

RIP in super camry :D

I had a great time today, I drove through 2 massive storms, hail, rain, wind, thunder & lightning, the car was all over the place and everyone stopped but theres no stopping a mad man - I was laughing at the top of my voice yelling 'BRING IT ON!!!..IS THAT ALL YOU GOT!!...etc ' and there was bolts of lightning smashing into the ground all around me, rain on the window that bad I couldn't see 5m's in front of the car and a strange sound of hail hitting the window and metal body... and at one stage the back of the car started to get sucked sideways with debries flying all over the place.. it was a fantastic drive home.... I'm looking forward to tomorrows drive.. apparently there well be another storm! By the way... no damage to the car... oh besides a seal on the window going and me getting a bit wet hehe :D

sorta suss... maybe a girls name.... I think I could get in trouble if i say ... Hey guys I can't come to the cruise I'm gonna go ride boris in the bush .. its gonna be great.. I can't wait to get all dirty ... :D :D :D You guys will treat me like this: :D .... and so will my g/f LOL...

Hmmm maybe.... I was thinking .... Boris... but I like some of your sugguestions.. hehe :D

Hey guys.. I bought a mountain bike... and you know me... :D I have to name everything lol anyhow... whats some good names for my new bike?? If you need to see it, go here: GT Avalanche 1.0 2004 with Disc Brakes :D Now... all you guys get bikes and we can have races :D

it will fit, tho Grim is right, even tho people have got 3e's producing HP in the 300's + might be easier to go with a 4agze converted to turbo if you want the same thing. All though its good to be different :D I reakon it would be a sweet engine swap for an old rolla or maybe EP70 starlet. anyhow... whats some good bush tracks for mtb'ing.

Bah... thats what I think of cars now... BAH BAH BAH!!!!!! I've come so far and I'm sick of it all... nothing goes right... everything is wrong.. so I've bought my self a nice Mountain Bike and I'm staying away from my car now.. use it to get to and from work... But inorder for me to get my MTB and I need to get rid of all of this... 3ETE (1.5ltr SOHC 12v 4cyl Turbo) - $500.00(GC - minus fuel rail) 5sp gearbox to suit above engine - $200.00(GC) Starlet GT Brakes (Disc + calipers + driveshafts) - $100.00(GC) Starlet GT Radiator -$100.00 (VGC) (I will take $550.00 bucks for the lot) Who knows... after the ecu is back in.. suspension is fixed... I may consider coming back into the car scene... but right now its no thanks sob yeh yeh I know this post should be in for sale section but hey.. thought I'll combine 2 posts into one. P.S: If you have a MTB and be interested in riding with a novice :D I have a GT MTB nothing to fancy but its awesome :D but for now... I'm off to go Bull/Whaler Shark fishing :D Take it easy and happy driving, humping, swimming what ever your doing. Tom. :D

(Thats the one Unique Cars used) I have the original 35mm film also the photo. I don't own a digi :) Tommi :D

what was>? what seaworld found or what the fishermen experianced? I heard the fishermen were dragged around by a big bull shark... :) Tom :D

LOL haha ... ok Teddy did you wanna swap with Ruts? Check out this unknown animal washed up onto the beachs of the gold coast - http://www.yowiehunters.com/New%20Crypto/W...a%20monster.htm Inspected by Seaworld

how can we find out what it was? Here is the plan: nitephyre: your job is to collect as many road kill you can! and stuff. Grim: Can you find a boat for a couple of hrs... say 5hrs :) Ruts: You swim around like your injured ... and we'll tie a rope around your waist to pull you in before anything can get you :D irokin: Your on the other side of the rope Medicine_Man: You can monitor the systems and drive the boat Grim and I can hold the camera's .... I might just watch from the shore :D Ok, when are we leaving :D Tom :)
