This weekend might be the weekend where I paint the whole car with 2 pack primer, :cool: Got the rear and front bumpers sanded this week. The rear bumper was very easy to sand because it was painted before so all i had to do was give it a quick sand (1hour) but the front was about 6 hours because it has never been painted and it has that goose-bump texture all over it. I started with 180 then went 120 then thought f@$k it and went 80 and ripped it all off. Its still got a bit of texture on there but the undercoat should fill it up a bit. Anyway.. just waiting for the weather to get above 20c. Its been about 15 all week up here in the hills. Sunday is going to be 23 and Monday 26 so long weekend here we come! Reduced quality upclose of bumper. Will only let me upload max 2mb, Image was 2.5mb As you can see with the water on the ground the weather has been shit cold and raining.

OMG>>>Guess what happened to me today... My Girlfriend of 4.5 years broke up with me. But do you know why I'm putting this in here?? She broke up with me because i wont have a baby with her!! WTF!!???. She's 21 for gods sake and still lives with her Mum and I live in a shed! I wouldn't mind having a baby at maybe 30 but not now. I want to at LEAST have a morgage for my own house. Having kids and renting and trying to save for a house can be hard. But NOOOO.. she can't think why that would be a problem.

Notice he never touches the clutch, couldn't do that in my car. Left foot braking, its weird but he truly is an amazing driver.

Nice find :cool: I can see alot of love has gone into that car..

Thats awesome, such a great driver. At 2:00min I thought he was about to loose it on the corner but then I thought this is Collin McRae

I just noticed you don't have front indicators!!? I got a mate who had a R33 Skyline and he got a new front bumper and it didn't have front indicators and he got a defect notice for it and he had to install new ones. How's the car going anyway? :|

Nice ride! :| I totally agree with Trev about the black headlight surrounds. But if you want to go one better, try these.. sorry I couldn't find 1991 but I'm sure they are available http://www.kingsource.com/hd-93tcorolbm.html

Hey mate, just read the whole thread. Love the paint job, Did you do it yourself or get it professionaly done? Looks Smick :| I agree with trav.. Get chrome bumpers. So what motor have you got under the hood? Looks pretty powerful from the Sunday tire pics. So were you drifting on a track or private property when your windscreen got smashed? Sorry for the 20 Q's, lol! Ps. Hope you find some nice rims soon, In my opinion, don't go any bigger than 16" Cheers, Johno :D

Lovin your work mate, I had no idea you had done this much to this. Look'n real nice, keep up the great work! A peice of your rolla will be in my rolla soon, Clutch.. Hehe

Thanks for the info trev :dance:

So by going 256 deg cams I don't have to change anything like the valves or shims?

Thanks heaps for that Trev! :dance: Someone was telling me if i get bigger cams i will have to change the underbucket shims, WTF are they? and do i need to?

Talking about taxi drivers, when i was in QLD the taxi drivers were so cool. We got a trip from one palce to another and it cost us $24. got another taxi home and the guy turned off the meter and only charged us 15 bucks to get back to the hotel.

I am changing my motor from 4ac to 4age. I have bought the motor and I'm currently painting the car. While the engine is out I want to do a bit of work to it. I have decided to keep the 4ac gearbox because its in better condition than the 4ages one. I am getting a Exedy HD Clutch but i need a new throw out bearing. Are they expensive? The Water pump needs to be replaced, it that an easy job? The 4age is slightly worked, the head was reco'd about 40,000 km ago and has been ported, grinded and polished. With a cold air intake system, how many Kw do you think i would get at the wheels? I was thinking of getting bigger cams but running the stock ECU. Is this possible? Thanks in advance, Johno :dance:

Not again!!??

When I was on my P's you only get 5 points. One unlucky week I lost 3 points for not wearing a seat belt then a few days later I lost another 3 points for going 10km over the limit. I got the letter and it said 3 month suspended licence or drive one year and don't loose 1 single point because if I did I would loose my license for 6 months. I took the 1 year good driving thing and after 12 months I got all 5 points back and when I got my full license got my 12 points. Score!

How expensive is bloody expensive..? :dance: Looks hot! :dance:

Saw this ute on the way home. I wonder if they would give me a quote for glass on my seca??

I spoke to my mum about the idea of 6 cars down the back but she was not happy about the idea. Sorry dave, I tried.

Just with the headline.. It says Cop's Car Confiscated. When I read that headline i thought it was a police car. I know he was in a private car but yeah..

Thats what i thought this thread was about, your shirt.. lol!

WGMG is Bus drivers. I nearly had a head on with a bus tonight. I was driving up in the dandenongs to get home. There is a lot of push bike' riders up there and like normal people, if there is a bike in front of you, you wait till its safe then overtake the rider. Well this bus driver decided to overtake the rider and not give a fat shit about me. He overtook the bike and went right into my lane and i was forced off the road and damaged my car in the ditch. Why couldn't he just wait till it was clear!! f@$k WITT!!!!! :dance:

I don't think there is anything wrong with a 4ac, modify it a bit and be happy for what it is. No matter what you do to a 4ac, a 4age will always be better. If you are going to spend 1k on a 4ac just use that 1k for a 4age. Because you already have a 4a motor the mounts are going to be the same.

I'm in love. Closest thing i can see in Austrailia is a Te71 levin. Thinking about buying one but gotta get my 82 on the road first otherwise it will never get there with a levin parked in the drive.

I tried to help you out but after looking at about 10 different versions of it on YT and not finding an original theme song i gave up. I never even heard of Dora but I see what you mean about the song being catchy. Lol!
