Honesty is where its at with me. As Luke said, no point beating around the bush. I've seen 4AGE KE70's pass with no worries as everything is a bolt in affair, but thats non-turbo and still a 1.6L. By all means, get it inspected and give it a shot, you never know your luck, but 90% a chance of failure.

Doesnt matter if its mod plated wherever you currently are as all states have different modification laws. SA is the cotton wool state, where its dangerous to mod your car apparently :P By all means, give it a shot, but I think you'll be outta luck on this one man.

LOL, statement of requirements or not, that engine capacity, especially the turbo variant, is too powerful for the weight of the car, therefore no chance of it ever getting registered here because SA is in fact the Nanny state. You COULD try and get it engineered, but you better start looking to sell a kidney on the black market if you want to fund it.

Tom just wants to be one of the cool kids and fit in the with the 17-25 year old age group, hence even I had to google what the hell the term meant....good one dude!

Why would you bother doing that when you can just get a TE27 dash cluster from J-land? Might cost an arm, a leg, or a kidney, but at least it'll look like its meant to be there :)

Thats horrible looking....

The Drift Bible DVD that Keiichi Tsuchiya put out years ago also helps if you can see it in action and watch what he's doing as it covers various techniques. Theory first, practical to follow ;) That how I learnt....in an EA Falcon of all things back when I was 19.

Correct sir! But his KE25 on the other hand is also turbo ;) Dale - When I move up to Cairns in 4 months time, I'm going to want ice cold A/C ;)

The only thing thats a Camry on it is the climate control ;) One thing your corolla lacks is any form of creature comfort :P To confuse things even more, the styling is an E39 BMW, but the suspension is a mix of Supra front end and Soarer rear end in design. I forgot that I can still put the air-con on and still own you on the straights and through the twisties ;)

I'll just bring out the Chaser, lets see if you can keep up then ;) Pick a time and place and I'll try and be there for once.

KE20 -Two door sedan KE25 - Two door coupe Don't forget those two ;)

Haters are gonna hate - I say 13B the sucker and have the best of both worlds for you, that you will enjoy. That way you'll have an engine that you know inside and out and something to throw it in that will make it haul ass. After all, its only a K motor. I could think of a few different engine combinations to put in it, some Toyota and some from the dark side!

I'd say it should be running sub-7 second quarter miles by now :P

It always will come down to the sound engineer sitting at the mixing desk, mixing the set. Being a musician who has played live music myself for many years, there are good live music mixers, and shit ones. The main reason behind the support acts sounding awful is that the event organisers want the main act to sound awesome, so they only get use of half of the audio equipment supplied for the main act, which in turn creates an average sounding mix, no matter how good the mixing is. If you saw Jay-Z as a main act, the story would be different. My 2c - coming from someone who has been in the live music scene as a performer and a fan of live music.

No updates. Still the same. I'm spending my saved cash on my Open Water Dive Course, so I'm not touching it for a while.

3K head, 4K block and you'll notice the power increase just from that. Mild cam and carby and it'll move nicely for an old pushrod motor :) Keep it simple.

Never thought I'd say this, but I agree with Trev on this one. Same goes for the "hellaflush" trend of stupidly negative camber to fit the wheels up inside the guards. Firstly we will go with this picture: Might "look" cool, but its impractical and dangerous. Lets have a closer look: Tread contact patch to driving surface is next to nothing! Not only a danger to yourself, but other people on the road.

And just to clarify things, by n00bfest, I meant that the majority of the veterans of the GORC wont be able to attend. Not in any way was I disrespecting the organisation of the event. Ryan, you need a chill pill bro!

As mentioned, if it were the weekend before I'd be all in but I have work commitments, so no can do. Looks like its gonna be a n00bfest next year :P

No go for me on those dates, so count me out next year. Might come for a weekend whirlwind visit the weekend before a catch up with a few rollaclub members myself :)

Ha, dude, if I had any hot single chicks in my little black book, they'd be all for me, since I'm currently unattached and all :P

Looks like the 21-22nd is going to be the goer at this stage, right? If so, I'll mark it in my little black book!

No matter what, my car has a decent car alarm fitted. I think a lot of you guys with these older cars should get a 3-stage immobiliser fitted at least to stop this type of thing happening. You're lucky you got it back in one piece and it wasnt torched. The best type of insurance for someone who can't afford insurance is an immobiliser, up from that, a full alarm system with tilt-sensor, glass break sensor and microwave sensor. Even a flashing light will deter most thieves from even contemplating opening the door or smashing a window as they don't know whats fitted to the car to begin with.

I went the other way. Bought a new car as I was sick of messing with old cars. don't think I'll go back to an old car since I got the JZX100. ;)
