hmmm.....i'm now remembering the problems i had with the wrong offset wheel.....i eventually got fed up (as well as the little problem with fitting new tyres) and bought the set i have on my car now for $60 from All Jap car parts......prolly the best deal anyone has ever gotten out of that place......*shakes head*.......i've got a set of 12inch mags exactly like those ones.....except that the stud pattern is off the old rollas..... edit: when i say old rollas i mean older than the ones you see on this forum. :dry: :D

yeah......i agree...its a pity that teddy didnt get a photo of the number plate......and i would have followed him but teddy and i had pictures to take....

heres a tip for you all..... hit the penguin right on the noggin.......sends him flying....HAHAHAHAHA edit: mines still the higest score.....hehehehehe And Heres the proof!!!

hahahaha.......now that is funny.....nice score nick....still beat ya though..... 3515.6 Read it and weep....SUCKERS!!!!!!!! :D :D ;) Edit: new top score 3553.7 mwahahahahaha...... :D :D

the hail storm on friday arvo.....the one that looked really green....i was on top on the gateway bridge when that hit...man was that scary....i was in the work ute which is a hilux with a cage on the back and i had it tarped cause i had a spa in the back....man the wind i swear picked up the back of the ute about 3 or four times....and to top it off i couldnt see 2 metres in front of the car......

i still can't believe hes driving that around.....hahaha....and he even looks like he doesnt know its there :D

586.4 !!!!!!!!.......put that in your pipe and smoke it.. :D

ben u must have missed out then....as i was driving home tonight i went past a couple of blacked out areas.....the road looks really different when there aint lights where there should be. :D :D

i had to go for a 200m dash to my car to get it out of the storm......before it hit.....then there was no bloody hail anyway.....this was at northgate, where i work. some nice cracks of lightining about 500m away and a couple of power surges and that was it, storm over.....

how about these ones.. Club K - http://www.club-k.co.nz/ OldCorollas - http://drive.to/oldcorollas Johnnys Old Corolla Page - http://www.geocities.com/jonnyr_1973/ thats all for now

heya....sounds like some awesome bit of engine there.......we'll have to compare when i get mine up and running..:D :D.....

prolly about the same specs as what my 5K will end up like after i'm finished with it......only with a bigger bore size. i wont have any of the brand name stuff on it like hes got though.....ACL rebuild kit for me instead.

meh.......u could still use it as an oversized toboggan :D :) :)

hey hey......just thought i'd add my 2 cents.....cha ching!!! i'm in the process of rebuilding a 5k engine for my rolla with a genuine 3k big port head.....aparently it was one that was made for the british rollas....it hasnt been ported out at all, its still got the casting marks on the inside of the ports...but it is MUCH bigger.....the price for doing up this head is going to be $450 for new everything more or less......and to port and polish it....thats right i'm going to port it out bigger again.....:D:D but to rebuild the engine itself its gunna cost me about $700 including boring out and new pistons....so thats another idea for ya....only bought the engine for $50... :)

first of all......my mags took me about 3 days to do all 4.......and after that my hands were rooted.... some mags have a clear coating on them to keep their shine......this is what mine had on them, although the coating had gone all yellow with age......i finally worked out after trying sandpaper and steelwool that using paint stripper worked.....that stuff is excellent......:D.....then i cut and polished them with a drill buff......and then after that used a product called "bright shine", it comes in a yellow tin and you can get it from supercheap....i wouldnt go past a product called "autosol metal polish" as well. :D :) :)

If I told you i'd have to kill you........:D.....how much would you pay for one.....???

Hey fellas......on the weekend i picked up a 5k engine out of the trading post....i knew it was rooted...the fella i bought it off said that he thought it was a blown head gasket......so i took the head off as soon as i got home and sure enough number one cylinder was all pitted......so i'm thinking hmmm.....if i bore it and take it out as far as it will go i might have a 5K to chuck into my car.... :D still got alot of work to do on it......however i was going to ask does anyone know how far a 5K engine will bore out to......it's got me a little worried.....the piston caps have stamped in the top 0.50......i think the standard bore size on them is 80.5 mm.....any help would be awesome.... i also picked up a 3k Big bore head...... :) i'm not gunna say how much i paid for it though......hehehehe.......i got it off a mate.....so with the 3K big bore head on the 5K block i'm thinking it will go alright......:)...

yeah it's pretty noticable at even 60ks' however she has been wanting air con for so long she doesnt care......as someone said the other day......u want power u have your finger over the aircon button......anytime u need power u just turn the aircon off for a bit.....:ninja:

i think instead of following teddys idea and add 70 kilos of aircon piping and shit.....i'll just suffice with my 4 x 100 air conditioning......4 windows @ 100km/h......:ninja: :)......no offence intended.....

if it is real........least they were considerate and put both the cars on jack stands.....better than the spare.....:ninja:

Xany = nick name Simon = Real name Metallic blue KE55

I have a mate that has somehow stuffed the banjo diff in a KE30. We will have to change the diff, however the diff we are thinking of putting in is out of a KE55 which is a salisbury diff.......can anyone tell me if the diff will fit straight in.....??

Gday fellas i'm back and sticking with it...... :ninja: ......merry christmas everyone and have a happy new year.......i'll prolly see most of you at the bbq on saturday....
