oh the things you could do with that crane.....all to tempting.... :sob: :hmm: :cool:

Driving home late one evening the other night from the eastern suburbs to the south. I was just admiring how good corollas really are. Ive owned 2 previous corollas AE82 4ac and Ae82 twin cam, both terrific run abouts. I was admiring how well the KE20 handles, how tight the engine feels when shes warmed up, how smooth the ride is, how little the interior rattles (probably cos it has none haha), how great the heater runs, how it never breaks down....the list goes on!!!!. IT made me think....no wonder the corolla is the best selling car on the planet. Is this why every1 else here drives a corolla? i know ill stay toyota until i move on to european later in life. wanna hear people's thoughts on why they love the rolla's! Cheers

hahahaha, made me laugh reminds me of me and my clutz'ness

saw you aswell josh

unley park, but shes watched like a hawk till the wee hours of the morning cos I'm some insomniac smoker :jamie: fix you clutch cable, I'm up for a cruise when you are...

oh....you were in the car. makes sense now. yeah me and my mate where in CLG outside his house talking about the infiltration of KE20's in the area, and you drove past was quite funneh. hidden from the thiefs or hidden cos uve got a mad scientist under the hood concocting something ill ?

ok ben ill let you have it...there red rims ;) may have some webbers coming..... x2. the grille and lights are secrets. :jamie: youll like em. yeah i often pass throught hindley cos i gota go through the city anyways to get to my gf's and i got uni there during the day...and maybe the odd cruise. cheers nick.....is that benzo's old orange one aswell? every1 adopts bens babies. are you around colonel light gardens?

Not many updates recently due to having no money. however ive found a new income and have recently sold the guzzler aka the calais. just thought id post some pics of my budget modification of 'redwalls', its about as artistic as i get with a paint brush but i think its quite affective. In the coming weeks ill have some engine mods happening. and within the next month or two hope to have replaced some worn struts, interior carpet, new centre console and most importantly remove the lowering blocks and get the leafs reset....(while on that topic can anyone tell me if getting the the leafs reset upsets the level of the drive shaft like the blocks do???) anyhoo, ive also got some plans for the grille and light garnishes but that'll come later down the track :jamie: some pickies : enjoy. Cheers Mitch

woah bit intense. people say theres a fare few crops up there, maybe u ventured into the wrong area with the wrong sorta people. or just pissed off neighbors with shottys either way not fun.

more granny spec....altho i don't like to call it that. more of a tough look :dance: F8ck SA and theyr laws, if you hit someone the last thing thats going through theyr mind is, 'f8ck that pins guna hurt!' if the car hits you your Mcsmegged regardless. are the lanyards the ones with wires coming off them? Cheers

i was also interested in doing this, pics would be appreciated. not that i break 70 in my 20, just like the look :dance: Cheers

o ;) my bad. i thought the early 20's were similar to this 1. will that fit style fit mine ben? and yeah id be happy with 85 horsys Cheers

thats how i want my engine bay! schmick0! nice 20. ps. is the early 20 grille usable on the later models?

i wasnt aware that toyota still sold new ke20's :dance: :dance: my 2c.....don't touch a thing on it.....whack it in the garage under a sheet and only bring it on sundays..... this is the definition of overrated. Mitch

cheers mate, appreciate the lengthy reply

some say....he made armour for heath ledger....some say he has a welder for an arm.......all we know is....hes called the stig. soz watched too much topgear V. nice :eatlead:

thanks for the help guys ben - badge i got for 40 bucks through ebay. redwalls are on there with the whitewalls (pics 2moro):eatlead: yeah ill look around for gettin them reset. i do recall going into pedders and hearing something like $500, could be wrong. when i get some mula, got big plans for the beast :bash:

yeah man left hand side. don't worry theres no way I'm changing the height :eatlead: just looking for a way that it can be done so the insurance company will cover me. flipping the leafs as easy as it sounds? Ill check thru them receipts and chase up pedders about the struts. got my hands on a brand new RAA badge, car now has redwalls. pics will be posted in rides thread soon :bash:

can't even imagine what 186kw feels like in a ke20:D take me for a drive..... top shelf.

when fine women wear skirts on windy days. :eatlead:

duuudee if your gettin an XR6 screw throwing cash at the 4ac. save your cash for mods for that. id take the bus for a year if i knew i was guna get an XR6......specially if its turbs. if your considering a 4age conversion......sell yours and just buy a twinky rolla.......1000times easier. altho in adelaide you might wait a bit to find 1, Vic and NSW have plenty.... and by doing that...you get power steering, A/C, a big pimping twin cam steering wheel and a twin cam sticker!

amen funny story

ok, so if i were to get the leafs reset and it sat above 100mm above the ground it would be deemed as legal, despite the distance between wheel center and wheel arch.

i reckon its just right, not to dark not to light :lol: but yeah.....venetians all round! if they don't make sides for the 26. get 1s for a smaller side window, cut them to shape. that way if theyr smaller, the little arm holders on the venetians can be stretched to the correct length in the window seal

I'm fair sure its the strut thats gone, he showing me and wriggling it around which it shouldn't be doing. The blocks were meant to be just cheap and temporary way of lowering the car also, until i got around to flipping the springs. As for the 100mm of clearance, i thought that was a VIC law not so much SA. Still interested in knowing whether or not leafs can be engineered if done correctly ie. flipped. Cheers for reply strola Mitch.
