-

-
pin to pin? can't happen to tell me if the spring mounts are the same distance apart? i will find out sooner or later ... but thought i might ask.
-
Sorry - 13bt is gonna require a LOT more than a stock 808 diff ... its goin under the bum of the 8'0
-
I find this amusing as i just got a hilux diff that had been modded to fit a KE30 that i will be using in an 808 :( sorry i can't help with your problem ... but i got a chuckle :)
-
Oil leakage? thats an understatment - i have poured oil out of an oil bottle slower than it comes out of that 4AG :) haha nice to meet some of you lads ... though i now realise i didn't actually introduce myself to anyone!! haha I bailed home and fell asleep on the couch :) Bugger on the yellow sticker as well :( though its not totally understandable :D one day i will attend one in some old school corolla coolness ... but who's was the supra? or was it just a random?

you won't be alone in the toyota family saloons - we will be there in the aristo
-
SAP isn't that bad ;) I use it day in day out - was part of the CTC implementation team for Rio Tinto Iron Ore ... but again - i only use the CTC side of the program ... so reserve judgement on other modules :2thumbs:
-
Not sure if she has a hens night that day - so either she will come along or i will come along and bring my daughter with - she loves going for drives :wink: especially in the aristo :jamie: oh - I managed to get some of the aristo guys to wash their cars and tag along for my wedding ;) these are just some camera phone pics taken by one of the drivers ... i am sure within the hundreds of photo's i have i will find some better ones ;)
-
oooh - couldn't make the original date of the 24th as i was getting married ... but i might be able to make this weekend :wink: will see how i go :jamie:

My Latest Addition - Beautiful Baby Girl
manual replied to LukeAE71's topic in Rollaclub Social (Off-Topic)
Congrats mate - its the dawn of a whole new world for you! This will probably be one of the most nervous drives home when you finally take her home for the first time!!! i know it was for me! -
Our little girl turned 2 yesterday ... our wedding is in 2 weeks, so could be interesting getting her in for the photo's.. but she is a real camera hog, so no doubt we will get a fair share of decent photo's :D
-
You may not get a reply until he picks himself up off the floor hahaha just as much electronics on a 13bt as a 4age ... good work on the roll cage - its gonna boogy with a TO4E!!
-
ha - reminds me of a mates car we had to take the manifolds off of - S13 with RB25 with RB26 manifolds (so twin turbo) .... not a great deal of room to work with in there thats for sure!!
-
What he said ... good luck with the new shell and get her back on the road ... have let my brother know this is no longer available ...
-
That was a big thing for me when i had the supra ... but basically - as mentioned above we own outright the aristo, the laser & the 808. I am paying a 300K mortgage on a single income whilst supporting my partner and 2yr old and we have our wedding in October that I am paying for as well. Looking forward to that coming and going so the funds i have put into the wedding can go into other ventures!! it very tight on the budget when you take that all into consideration - all the bills / mortgage / 3 registrations / insurance / rates / food etc etc ... we don't have a great deal of money left over for socialising out and about but we make do ... i suppose you have to really :lolcry: wouldn't change it for the world though :lovin:
-
funny you should mention that ... we have a 1997 aristo as one of our main family cars - leather / cruise / sunroof etc etc - got one with all the fruit. I sold my JZA80 and got the aristo as a replacement. however we also have a 2001 ford laser. MUCH cheaper on the fuel ... and to be honest ... if i could get any decent money for the aristo - i would swap it out for a holden / ford wagon on LPG real quick. i have come to the realisation that if you have a weekend toy why do you need something flash / sporty / grunty for daily duties?? we have a mazda 808 in the shed copping 13bt engine conversion and when i get a place big enough for 2 toys in the shed a KE corolla will be there as well ... the laser and aristo both have good and bad points - the laser - great on fuel, the aristo - great car to drive and feels much more solid on the road. for round town duties i prefer the laser - but for distance driving (from perth to esperance and back for holiday) the aristo is a much nicer tourer. plans were originally to do 6spd single turbo conversion ... but after getting the car, getting the 6spd conversion, new clutch etc etc realised i didn't have the time and it wasn't worth the hassle so sold the 6spd conversion, the 4-pot supra brakes, the LSD ... and just keeping it stock instead.

i have a few KE55's that live around the corner from me and there is also a place around the corner that has a couple of KE30 4-doors? think KE30's ... everytime i see them i want a KE more ...
-
They just had their MAD ride ... i got a few mates with bikes - ranging from 250's upto litre bikes ... 1 with a GSXR1000 and one with an R1 ... i only have a 250 licence and used to have an RG250 (excellent little 250cc 2-stroke) but now that i have a daughter as much as i love riding, i don't see me getting on a bike again any time soon ... agree with sandshoe ... like to have the metal around me ... but i do miss the feeling of leaning over and nailing it through the bends ... oh well ... that and i don't have the time / room / money for a corolla let alone a bike :lolcry:
-
sweet!! should come together nicely ...
-
i would come along (not in a rolla) but to check out the rolla's and say hi ... but i get married on the 24th and i think that over throws a cruise :jamie: hahaha i keep seeing KE's around my area (kelmscott) and i wish i had one again ... oh well ... one day ...
-
i have just joined the gym again as i want to lose a few kg for my wedding (about just under 8 weeks away now) and basically i do some upper body weights 2 x a week and cardio 3 times a week ... normal cardio mon / wed / fri and weights tues / thurs. i go during my lunch break at work as the gym is in the building and with the missus and daughter - time out of the office is null :lol: haha my cardio is basically just treadmill stuff and i am on that for 40 minutes (i have an hour for lunch - so head to the gym - get changed - gym - cool down - change back - back to office) and my weights regime normally takes about 30 minutes after a 5 minute warm up on the treadmill. weights regime they have me on is: smith machine bench press pushups squat row chest raise (i lie on a bench @ 45 degrees and pull up weights towards my chest - like an opposite bench press) tri dips bicep curls lateral raise (shoulders?) basically doing 3 sets of 15 reps of each ... i was 27% body fat when i first sized up - and my intention is to drop that dramatically. i weighed in at 90kg (only 5'9") but i am more concerned with dropping BF knowing that muscle weighs more blah blah as you all know :osama: anyways ... i am here as well trying to get fit ... so your not the only one haha

Scary Experiences In Wet And Windy Conditions!!
manual replied to ke71-rolla's topic in Rollaclub Social (Off-Topic)
not always the best advice ... what i do recommend however is get down to your local skid pan and get some advanced driver training ... they will run through with you ways to control a vehicle in unexpected circumstances. If i ever just jumped off the gas when i was in my supra when i was sideways i could almost gaurantee the tyres would grip, the car would throw the other way and you would end up facing backwards ... so yeah ... but again ... a JZA80 with 320 RWHP isn't a KE70 with a 3K and open wheel diff ... haha - but none the less look into some advanced driver training ... highly recommend it ... -
It's in the members ride gallery not project gallery - thought i was going mad!! is that how it sits now or how you picked it up? still jealous haha
-
so jealous :) our 3 car stable has an aristo, a laser and a mazda 808 ... not enough room for a corolla for me :y:
