kickn5k Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 (edited) just a lil warning, small KEs with big 3L's are a hand full on the road.i got 14x7s on the rear with 225s and it dosent get traction on boost. I'm going for 15x8s next so i can try and launch this puppy. just some things 2 keep in mind. cheers scott Scott When i saw sus 020 on the vid i thought you were a bit on the crazy side but now I'm convinced. Thats sick. Good luck with it all 80 rolla coupe these things were the best locally built six untill the ba xr6t but not everone has that sort of budget. These engines respond really well to basic mods. Like intercoolers, exhausts and boost. and that little ke55 will be a jet. and i love the 55 coupes too. stu.

80_rolla_coupe Posted March 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 hey man thank 4 the info i wasnt planning to regester the rolla didnt think i could. what did u do to get the rb30 to fit looks like uve cut the fire wall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anastasios Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 why don't you look at some other engine options to drag it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80_rolla_coupe Posted March 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 hey fellas trying to get rid of the interier any ideas how much its worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz_Rx Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Chuck a 13b turbo in it instead!! not too hard to make it run 10's. It'l be lighter, so therefore handle better in the front (although that probably doesn't matter if it a drag car only). easier to fit, ie don't need to cut the fire wall. and more choices in gear boxes!! Plus if you changed your mind then it would be easier to rego, but hey its tassie - just put in and drive it on the road, whatever engine it is!! :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
