OKE055

i like.... very neat, really love the dragways never head of using skyline struts and brakes, but if it works.... hell yeah..... i run a skyline diff and disk brake rear end on my 55 so it could all match if you wanted a diff upgrade. the problem i found with RA60 struts is that because they are taller the camber on the front wheels changes and i needed to modify the lower arms but it was well worth it.. it brakes so well.

shocks are less than 3000km old but they are monroes so i'm getting a set of koni's this week have seen a guy about making some tramp bars up and he said that he done a lot of car with axle tramp problems and said new shocks will minimise the tramp but not elimenate he also agrees with the lowing of the car contributing to it......... the pinion angle is wrong and trying to turn the diff overhence the tramp only solution for me is the tramp bars..... but don't know if it will they be done it time for jamboree fingers crossed... if not hopefully the koni's will help any helpyou could give me "NickZ" with a part number or what the konis also fit as koni don't list the ke55

gas is getting tuned mon morning will be posting results up that arvo so watch this space

falken azenis Rt215 semi slicks 225/45/16 foot was flat thanks irokin that will be useful

have alway love the 20's this thing would be a little rocket and so cheap, tissues full......

the nitrous is a fogger sytem only cost $700 has anything from 35 - 350hp the car however will only be fit with a 35hp shot which will increase the power by around 20hp at the wheels Here are the pic of the finished install and a pic of KAZ purging nitrous (bottom)

Just took my car for a quick drive and found i now have an axle tramp problem which i didn't have before the only changes are more power than previously before and i have fitted the car with some sticky tyres and where before it would spin it breaks into violent axle tramp, anyone know the cause or a cure??? any help would be greatly appreciated

without the nitrous.. the nitrous hasn't been run yet it will be getting tuned with the gas on the 18th of this month and that time was with 213.7hp at the wheels

here are a couple of more pics the cooler and a new filter pipe (still to be painted) next mods will include an air box with cool air feed and a pics of me at willowbank

traction has improved alot with the fitment of some good tyre's since i have now opted for a street slick, as for axle tramp i have only experienced it once at the drags with a bit of a clutchy launch..... but nothing on the street.

to answer that KAZ i purchased the car for $1200 and it had 64,000km (original) plastic on the door cards and all then i butchered it. I got the car originally off my grandmother which she got off her aunt who bought it brand spankin new the plates on it were NSW ***-KAZ so we called it KAZ.......

i bought them off nick they are zepters i have never seen them anywhere else before

11/78 front converted to round lights i think it has ke30 grille and i know it has ke30 bumpers didn't like the rubber ends on the ones i had

got to love the performance of light corollas with a late model turbo motor very clean car, love the colour, are you racing at jamboree??

I am going to be racing at Jamboree this year am having the car tuned on the 18th of september with the nitrous and playing with the cam timing to get some more power and am hoping to better my 1/4 mile time considerably. Hope to see a few of you guys there Sorry i haven't kept you guys updated i haven't been online for a while

I just need to bring it out to a few cruises. we got any going on soon. has rolla club every had any cruises combined with other clubs. i just have a few friend in the au starlet club and it would be good to cruise some other toyota 4 bangers.

Car Runs a standard CA18 radiator no figures as off yet but been toasting V8 commondores all over and had a few close losses 2 modded WRX's which i'm happy with as i'm only running 4 psi and i tuned the car myself. More boost and a proper tune i'm scared to think how fast this thing is going to be. I've lost interest and haven't been driving it. I have just started working on it again now. plan is to tune it and take it to willowbank in late janurary. will post and let you guys know a date. Hope to see you guy's down there Cheers. SHANE

Will do i'll keep everyone updated on power figures and times run as i'm keen to see what she has in her. lots of pics to come...

Finally the motor is back in and ready to crank. just have dump pipe and intercooler piping to go, so this weekend i'll be out running it in.

Congrats on the 10. you guys have to see this car to believe, make's me want to sell my 55 and do one. Watched it at willowbank while i was down there running myself, very impressed when i saw a standard looking 20 on little 155"s (don't know but were skinny) running 11's, I was really shocked.
