ca18rolla

IDB in melbourne can supply pug disks mazda twin or four spot cailpers, corona legs, sigma control arms and springs and shorted shocks for around $1600 i think when i rang him. I m going to see a fella tomorrow he runs 300zx disc and cailpers on a ke35 and reckons he can do the lot including springs etc for $1000 so i ll let everyone know tomoorow **yet to speak to the fella bout the 300 brakes but will post when i do

hey guys wont be making it in my hardtop still not ready but bringing mates ke70 ca18det also wont be able to make the cruise to hinze but if you guys are meeting on the souithside where and what time might come down for a look or even drive over to aspley. And i need to buy two fat as rollaclub stickers!

if you weld it up and do a good job on the weld. i couldn t imagine you killing it very quick. We locked up a noisy $50 wrerckers diff from for a ke70 as they kept smashing the plantery gears and when removed some months later it was still working fine, splines were just starting to twist abit but this was with 212rwhp and 4500rpm clutch dumps! weld her up and see how she goes.

had seen this car a few years ago chop a 200sx that had around $70,000 in total spent on it was a hot4's feture car on the highway. But aparently has now had the chasias strenghted and a high mount supra turbo installed and many othermods done and know it had done 12.5 for sure before being re done. was first built when sleepers and jap engine conversion were only just starting to become more frequent so has had plenty of devolpment done over the years! fingers crossed i can get it!!

might just have found a sr one. with a cage and thats been fully streghtned r31 diff just gotta wait till feb' to see if i can get it fingers crossed. has ran i high 11.

all happen by chance ke70 was just at a mate 4k blew up and we had the ca there so put her in and its gone from there. and my green baby was advertised and the bloke had a rebuilt ca sitting there so a deal was done for both! just happened would like to sr20 one though!!! :D

hey everyone been away workin but had some time over the chrissie break to do some more work on my rolla rocket. Have it to the stage now where it just needs intercooler piping done and the custom 3" mandrel exhaust made and a custom radiator hose. Have it booked in at the start of feb' to have this done by steve down at milanco pro dyno should be looking at around 200rwhp. also looking at r31 diff and coilovers down the track hopefully should make it to the cruise on the 8th in another ca18det rolla (ke70) we have built still running it in making 162rwhp but previously made 212 with stock motor.

That would be sweet if you could post a link or let me know where as everything else is new and these few things will hold my car back! cheers mate

hey bro sick coupe just need that 4A and it will be one sick ride. Just finishing off my '35 coupe too and wondering if you found anywhere for new or repo parts bumpers, lights etc? Also what are you mirrors from? cheers matey

yeah i have a skyline lsd here for mine. Have to have shortened one day and all that one day. who did yours and what did it cost if you don't mind saying

yeah i asked you what brakes you were running as i wanna upgrade mine suprised when you said standard ke30 ones though.

lol sorry i was the one that must have been drinking! my mate and i spoke to you bout you rolla and we were super impressed i then left he told me about goin for a barn in the brown 13b but it was the R100 that he was refering too. Confussion bewteen the two of us.

mate your a legend your car hammered. Gave me the motavation to finally finish my ke35 coupe off and get it on the road thanks P.s very impressive rolla so quick! went past most cars like they were standing still! liked yuour runs against the turbo vl boys the most!!!

$30?? are you in brissie by any chance if so any other suitable parts for 35 coupe in g/condition cheers

i need seatbelts, chrome rear bar, some front bar lights, and the chrome mould on the bonnet. but will be checking the last wreckers i know off "kellys" this weekend first though cheers guys still wanna her from anyone thats done a brake upgrade and what they thought of it!

Guys how are we all? what i wanna know is what parts my ke35 hardtop (01/75) shares with other rollas for example: what bumbers and bar indicators will fit it and do they have the same bonnet as anything else. Also anyone know of anywhere that sells reco'ed chrome bars or even new ones to suit willing to have freighted so location no prob. thanks heaps guys p.s also chasing wheel flares

just seeing if anyones done them. As i know of a far few 1200 datos running them. Was thinking if not too hard a conversion it gives good options for coilovers skyline brake upgrade etc. So this why i was wondering and the fact i have a set of hks coilovers laying around. thinking the corona strut pug discs and mazda twin spots with sigma l/conmtroll arms are the go from idb, He said they could do it for around a grand so just seeeing whats avaliable before i buy these. anyone run a simlar setup. Reddwarf could you enlighten me on your setup please bud??

hey guys done heaps of searches and nothing can be found on completed conversion. Anyone done one to a ke35 or simlar???? any one done maybe another jap conversion

how is this beast going any new figures? also waht radiator you run in this. cheers

well said above agree completly

yeah agree take each car on its own merits i reckon. Not its makers history. I respect all nice cars even though people give "rice cars" a bad name and there are heaps of bogans driving fords and holdens. People don't even normally have a decent reason. Its more the piont that dad drives (insert brand here) so i hate the other brand!

yeah obvisouly i don't care about hybrids as i m just finishing mine of. Ca18's are cheap easy to source. make good power already turbo,proven,small, relatively light and there are bucket loads of cheap parts out there to suit whatever hp you want not to mention they are very well designed and no lets not have the whole argument "this motor s better than ca18" Anyway good engine swap plus light KExx = quick car! But i reckon whole gives a f*ck who made what motor the 1/4 mile can be the JUDGE of whos best!!!

Thanks for posting pics mate. Have to get some more pics on sat when i get camera back. Colour grew on me too. Was a bit suss on it but love it now. tried a search but no answer what chrome rear bar would bolt straight up guys? managed to get a chrome bumber for the front.(new $66) cheers

jim berry 3847 9999 custom clutch for my mates ca was $630 with modified pressure plate doea all tony rigollis stuff (drag cars)
