  1. After the Hamster's jet-car crash, the legal-heads are up in arms, calling Topgear a bad influence, and lobbying for it to be pulled from screening!! Full article is here, plus a petition that YOU WILL SIGN!!! http://www.petitiononline.com/tg100/petition.html Feel free to post the link on other forums too. Gotta get those signatures!! Try and post an interesting, educated comment too... Saying something intelligent may well help the cause!!
  2. I looked at a V70r instead of my BMW. 6sp, 4wd, 300bhp 5cyl turbo... I liked it alot!! 530BHP volvo is cool, no matter if you think Volvos are shit or not, it has to be respected!! Boys got that figure 8 carpark drift sorted too... Plenty of practise me thinks
  3. If you are out on the town tonight, I'll be working at Syrup nightclub, in Salamanca place (the convict/old colony looking area), from 11....
  4. This is the dilemma I had recently trying to get parts for my van... No one seems to own vehicles with tow bars anymore!! Best of Luck old son, But I'm afraid I'm of no use to you!!
  5. DON"T put in a Commodore engine!! If you want more power, convert to a later model/bigger 4cyl engine in and be done with it. If a corolla was meant to have a 6 in it.. the japs would have built on with a 6!! If you really want a Commodore 6cyl engine, get a Commodore!! Short, sharp and it makes sense... My .02c
  6. I saw a set of those "Teddy Bear" alloys on a Pulsar or something yesterday... Oh my GOD!!!
  7. ... Its just sooooo Cute!! :P
  8. There is a complete, tidy KE38 at the wrecker in Austral Drive, Derwent Park (reputedly). I didn't see it, but the wrecker-guy reckons its fair game. They will be crushing ALL the cars in their overflow yard soon, so if anyone needs bit, or a complete wagon, boogie on down to the wreckers, and offer them some cash. Also, in there, is a tidy old red Mazda 1300, that needs a good home... Its so tidy and complete, that even the wrecker-guy said He'd prefer not to crush it...
  9. I'll be a bit more enthusiastic once I actually have a rolla to drive to the meets... Then some Hobart ones will be on the cards!!
  10. OMGWTFBBQNOSFTW!!!
  11. Just want to say thanks to 1gttelola, for helping out with the getting of parts for the van today!! That grinder was a god-send... Still need to give you or phoenix some cash for that radiator!! GIR, the KE36 with some very strange issues, will be on the road again soon... possibly in the panda 'warpaint' too!!
  12. Thats just dying to be caged and rallied!! Looks awesome with the twin headlight conversion and the no/shaved bumpers.
  13. look like old formula 1 wheels and tyres...
  14. Can I have the struts?? :D :D :D Only joking mate....
  15. Those litle rims with low profile tyres make it look like a lowrider!! Sweet looking ride tho!!
  16. Are they the control arms with Bolt-on balljoints?? If so, its more like 6 degrees negative!! I did mine with older sigma (GE) lcas, and its more like 1.5-2 deg neg, and that brilliant. As Redwarf said, anything over is completely pointless. Best thing about the early model arms, is that they look identical to Corolla arms (ie, single piece arms with press-in balljoints)
  17. They are such a shit-hot wheel for the rollas!! They just seem to suit the car sooooo well!! Yet another addition to the "That'll be on the KE36 one day" List....
  18. Bugger me!! Bob's old beast... I saw that the first EVER rally it went in. All shiny and sexy as hell!! Nicely turned out car, and from memory, always kept that way!!
  19. The guys in MSCT are great!! Good bunch of Guys and Girls. Mick Luscombe and his mrs and daughters still competing?? They were just starting to get competitive when I left...
  20. Redwarf... The blue Corolla in your shed isn't from Tassie is it?? Mozza's old gold gem used to have a 2.6L Rodeo engine in it, with a mental turbo and 300+ BHP!! Will scrounge up som of the pics I have of it...
  21. The guard mirrors are pretty cool... I want them on the panel van (hmmm... oneday)
  22. I want to race on your roads!! From the pics of WRC and so fourth, I've always thought the roads in NZ look awesome... All that camber, and so flowing!! Fair bit different to Tassie rally stages!!
  23. Where was the Khanacross?? Was it down near Powranna, near Tarmac?? If so, I've had many a blast around that kick-arse little track!! Are you a member of MSCT??
  24. The other one was given to let me out of hell... :lock:
  25. ...also... Kinda thinking about "Pandarising" the KE36... (aka Tak's AE86... No 'tofu shop' markings on the door tho) Thoughts?? It should look good. I'm NOT painting the bonnet black tho... Way too overdone!! Might so some photoshop stuff and see how it looks :y:
