  1. yeah i think I'm leaning towards the 5th gen Celica, Plenty hanging around on Car Sales/Cars Guide for not much at all, little higher on the K's but read a review saying they are still reliable even in the high K's. **EDIT: found a nice 6th gen Celica, for $6500 that seems fair good and the person funding me likes it so fingers crossed...
  2. Hey all, Due to the recent few weeks and few problems with my Corolla i am on the hunt for a new daily. I'm running tight on the financial side so id say anywhere under the $5000 mark and would prefer not to have to pick it up from interstate... I have done a little looking at this and that but not sure what to look at. I'm thinking a 4cyl that's sporty and has some power behind it. so far i have aimed towards a Celica (Am loving This one) what other cars would you recommend? thanks tyler.
  3. ahh k i thought having it straight on the carb wouldn't work...
  4. Great thanks, will look in to it....
  5. ok cool, wheres this place in Modbury?
  6. Ok cool well, i have taken the carby off a few times here and there for no good reason. Its sitting in a few pieces in a tub of petrol for tonight part of tomorrow... I also have a Rampod filter or whatever it is (mushroom like filter) brand new, but no piping to connect it up. any websites that sell the piping and any way you would recommend of how to hook it up as in where the pod is best sitting? Also when i... quote: "Rip the head off and clean all of the carbon off and grind out pitting and cast dags. Do not grind away too much material if you are cleaning up the combustion chambers!! Get the valves and valve seats reground." how is this done if i asked a mechanic to do it would he be able to with his tools, as I'm assuming i don't have all the tools at hand...
  7. About the Small Mods on the engine.... I'm looking for small simple things that will help improve general running and power... Should i look at extractors? if i got some would they fit right on with the current exhaust (or minor modifications)? what else should i look at?
  8. lol.. shhhh... I know you all laugh at me behind my back :yes: but engine hat is a dam fine name for the rocker cover!! rofl
  9. ok well I'll look at getting that manual, and I might just do it as id love to polish up that engine hat :) haha. (assumes you read some old posts?) rofl... but yes very good idea and you guys are great with all the info your feeding me... Thanks all
  10. haha looks around and thinks he will ask the mechanic to check them -.- ima fuk it up knowing me.... but thanks :)
  11. haha ok that sounds all well and good to do... but what is involved in doing this? maybe some more info on it :) thanks for all the info and help guys.
  12. yeah but hes been good, like i get over a year to pay back any services and parts... the only thing is he had it for half a day fixed a few things like the barrels on back wheels and the little white thing right next to the ignition coil so i didn't have to bypass it then he noticed and i needed the car... so hes getting it back next week but i would like more info on it as he was fair confused. maybe the 2cly thing? but it seems when you pull the other 3 spark leads out the engine slows a bit/struggles... will get a compression test next week on it...
  13. The spark plug has been taken out and a different one tried with no change, I think i might have herd the mechanic say it sometimes cuts in and out which is what has got him confused...
  14. It has just had all the ignition done before the drive back and all the same parts you described for supercheap (apart from the leads that i have had for about 4months which are topgear performance leads, spiral wire and lower resistance or something) Tried changing the leads around and what not but still nothing and when you put the lead close to the spark plug while the car is running it clicks away... so maybe compression problem, is that a normal thing for mechanics to check? because he seems fairly confused to what is going on... Thanks
  15. Hi all, I have just recently left my car for about two weeks and then got in it and drove it all the way for Sydney to Adelaide. I took it to my mechanic and he had a look and replaced a few things. While he was looking around he has noticed that the fist cylinder when he pulls the spark lead out while the engine is running wont even effect the engines running, like if you pull the 2nd, 3rd or 4th one out the engine slows a bit or struggles a bit... if you know what i mean. (the cylinder with the problem is the one closest to the back of the engine (closest to driver)) its a 4K-c in a 1981 KE55. The whole engine is standard no modifications at all. Also am looking at a 5/4 speed to get put in so any info or parts needed would be great thanks... After getting a 5/4 speed put in i would like to look at the next step in modifying it for better performance, where would you guys recommend to start? maybe something that can get done the same time the gearbox and what not is getting switched... Thanks everyone.
  16. hey all I'm leaving NSW back to SA.. and my baby rolla must come with me... Yay for the fun drive back, Shes getting a full check up and service then will be off on the 14th. all who has nothing to do come for a small drive to see the shores of SA or more so the babes of SA. :hmm: (Fact: we do have the best lol)
  17. Hey all spotted a red corolla maybe KE55 4Door. the driver tooted me and yelled hi... lol who owns it :) have to catch up some time as i just moved here and still have shit all friends :(
  18. hey all looking for the owner of a rolla with the plates RR011A... had a nice little drive, and as i just moved here needa make a few new mates :P catch ya laters all.
  19. Looking at the SC12, Will that do the job for this engine? or is the SC14 more suited or overkill? What is the difference and am i going to notice the difference? Thanks Tyler
  20. Umm confused to what all this is/means? Eaton is the other blower i was looking at which ended and i missed it so am looking at a SC12 now. i think that's what you mean. And that's good the auto will work till i get it changed, and the Cam i could get that machined to fix it up or leave it till i get the manual conversion? what cost am i looking at for a second hand manual conversion or all the parts?
  21. ok cool i will keep my eye on the SC12 on ebay. And i can pick up the 5K bottom and a 4K head. Out of curiosity if i was to put the 5K with 4K head in with the SC12, thats not going to go good with the 3speed auto in it is it..... so I'm going to have to manual convert it, and I'm still after extractors sort of clueless on what type or whatever to get of these... On the list so far: 5K Bottom - pending raffs rolla 4K head (Ported) - pending raffs rolla SC12 Blower - pending eBay Extractors
  22. is this one any good will it work on the 4k/5k... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT
  23. yeah not going to have enough to get all that in 1 go.
  24. yes am watching in my ebay since a while ago :wink: a 4K ported head for the 5K bottom end? http://www.rollaclub.com/board/index.php?showtopic=37645
