Over the Xmas break I fitted a new clutch and some superlites in 15 X 7 and 8. Also recently attended a two day track challenge through the Mr2 forum at Wakefield Park. Was an epic few days towing my Corolla 2400 kms round trip and two days of full on track action. Finally some action shots

Use new bolts. Should use new ones every time. Actual can't believe what I am reading here, the results of this could have been disastrous. Be thankful you still have legs ;)

So, went out again last Friday with this car. Funny what a little preparation can do. This is how it went. - Towed car out there - Car ran perfectly - Got down to 1:35.2 from a starting point of 1:45 at the start of the day. Found I could push the car harder as the day went on and I got some confidence in the old girl - Gets a little hot under the collar with the day being about 33 degrees. Better placement of the intercooler away from the radiator would fix this issue - Brakes get a little soft being a hotter day and pushing the car harder - Clutch starting to slip in 3rd when going real hard out of corners - All in all a fantastic day. Will upload some pics and vids shortly once they convert to a useable format. Have plenty of in car vids. Going to fit new clutch over the christmas break and some wider wheels before going out again next year. I wanted to wear out these tyres on these wheels but they aren't wearing down much at all :) Good value I reckon. Oh, and grow some coconuts down there so I can go faster ;)

Shit luck eh... If you ever want to sell the van get in touch. Am on the hunt for one

BALLS!!!

I haven't looked. I just think the price is ridiculous. Its a st141, povo pack.

That red thing? No, just no Unless of course you paid $500 for your Commodore

Having to do all the dirty work to get my money refunded. Took all info to Police - no interest in the matter. Not even to follow up the criminal side of things. Good news is though I did get my money back :)

Most probably sun affected like a lot of early Toyotas

Just a word of warning.... Mickey has been in contact with me to buy parts. I don't know why, or what he is doing but he is still out there etc.

Mickey contacted me today wants to buy some things.... Seems you can be the worlds biggest joke and still be in circulation

People who try to be involved in the car scene who clearly are low life scum and don't belong. I am very trusting, probably too much infact, and have done dozens of transactions where I have sent money to people in exchange for posted goods. This last one though, I am about to be out of pocket by a bit and he still insists he has sent me the item. I won't be so easy to part with my money in the future, and soon neither will others which means interstate buyers will simply miss out on items. Its a shame these people exist really.

You won't see it on the street. It is road registerable but I want to hold that ability for when I sell it - adds more value ;) Also, in car security isn't high with a couple of switches and a push button start. No key required :)

It rained in all four sessions that I ran the car in. They appear to have quite good grip and I found I had loads of front grip, but with the locker and the wet I had zero rear traction out of corners. Next track day will be dry (hopefully) and with some more confidence in what the car can do I plan to push these tyres pretty hard. You certainly know you're alive when you're going down the back straight at approximately 160 and you can't see out the rear view mirror because of all the water ;)

Introducing my latest Corolla This thing popped up on Gumtree one day so I had to go and look. Rest is history. Specs are as follows: KE30 Sedan 4AGZE from an AE92 T50 Welded Borgy Diff Cressida Front Struts and Brakes Stripped Interior, with some switchgear, push button start and gauges Ebay special fixed back seat Velo Harness 15 x 6 Poobird wheels with Achilles 123 semis Couple of pics from before track day Had my first track day at Mallala Friday 16th August. A week before I decided to dust off the cobwebs, check over the car, pump up the tyres and fill with fresh fuel. Car won’t start. Try all sorts of things, find faulty earth, fix that and car runs. Next day go out there – car won’t start. Call Mobile Auto Elec – car starts. Still not running well but not waiting another 3 months for the next Friday prac day. This is how my day went - Car gets towed to Mallala - Car won't start - miss first session - Car starts during first session, but runs like crap. Still have ignition issue - Car runs ok, take it out for second session, get one lap and its misfiring like crazy - Stuff around with ignitor again, take it out down side road and thrash the living daylights out of it, no misfiring so we are back on. - Had another four sessions out on track having loads of fun :) Car still has a misfire issue, took the ignitor apart at home and it was full of metal shavings, I guess from when they drilled for the bracket to ground it. I think this was the reason for sale. Regardless I now have a new ignitor and it runs perfectly. Shame it had to sour my first day out a bit. Plans are: Fit wider wheels to get some more grip - have purchased Superlites in 15 x 8 Fix up niggling little issues with the car Prepare for next track day Have lots of fun without spending much - yeah right

It does have a cool feature in that the tree is growing out of the roof. It's also the only thing I like about the car. I saw this on fb, the amount of dudes that were like....... "omg that's bossssss" and stuff was pathetic. Anyone can put wheels so big on their car that they don't fit. It neither makes a car look good or function well.

Ahhhh... the pitfalls of selling and buying. I once attended an "auction" set up by a gumtree seller who arranged for multiple people to be there at the same time. Most people nicked off when they realised what was happening. Other guy offered 'x' amount. I offered way more. Other guy left and then the seller said ok lets go inside and do the papers. "Sorry mate don't have the money on me and looks like everyone else is gone eh" See ya I hate that sort of shit ;)

Hai Five :)

People on the ae/ke fb sales page being rude as and me not being able to tag Reed to get his attention. :(

$2200 ONO Will have fresh 3 months rego on it at point of sale

Bump Still here - more inclined to sell now as have too many cars and have been handed my mrs jzx100 to daily :)

Welcome to this weeks "how much is a car I want to buy going to be worth to resell" thread.

My wife going away for a week. No, seriously

+1 for not the same.

Yeah. It has been turned into a track car, and popped up on gumtree a few weeks back and I bought it. I went searching the net for info and realised it is this car. Can very easily be turned back to street and may well be yet :)
