ancullen Posted November 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Okay, so definitely just Toyotas, but probably not just Corollas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure-SX Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 So whats being done? Do we have a cut off as to when we can and can't tell shannons we wish to enter a display? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancullen Posted November 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Yeah, but that's AGES away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancullen Posted November 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Just a brief update on the 2008 Extravaganza: Â There is a possibility that the date of this event will change as it appears that the Crusty Demons will be in the NT on the currently planned dates. Â I'll let you all know more when I know more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancullen Posted November 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 While at Bridge Toyota today, I was introduced to the 'Business Development Manager' (read as: Marketing Manager). Â I mentioned I was the region leader for RollaClub in the NT, and that we would be putting on a display of cars at the 2008 Motoring Extravaganza. I suggested that perhaps Bridge Toyota might like to help us out and possibly give us some Toyota signage to display around our cars. He seemed to like the idea, and asked that I get back in touch with him closer to the time of the event, which I will definitely be doing. Â Also, now that I've finished at Coles, I'd like to start planning on getting these cars ready for the show. Â As far as my cars go, the GT-Four is ready, I will just give it a really good wash and detail before the show (as I'll do on each of my cars). Â The TA22 needs to have trim made & installed, a bonnet sourced and fitted, the exterior painted (possibly not needed - bonnet WILL need painting though), the engine made to run (shouldn't take much at all), and registration. It doesn't NEED rego to be shown at the show, but I'd prefer to have it all ready and on the road for Alley to drive before then. Â As far as the KE55, I'm hoping to have the big front brakes fitter shortly after Christmas (depends on funding). I still need to find a second ignition coil, but that's no big deal. The tailshaft will then need to be tested and possibly fixed/replaced. Then I want to get it painted and knock some minor dents out to make it a bit prettier. And for the motorshow I'll probably remove a leaf or two out of the rear to make it look more racer-ish, even though I wouldn't use it like that for racing. :P Â Can you guys let me know what NEEDS doing to your cars for the motorshow. You can also let me know what you WANT to do to your cars before then, but make sure you differentiate between the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure-SX Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 (edited) At the moment, the ae82 just needs a good tidy. I aim aiming to have the body kit on and painted by then. But thats it. Â Good to hear about the Toyota signage possibility. Should have asked for a TRD Aurion to be displayed, or even donated :P Edited November 27, 2007 by Pure-SX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancullen Posted November 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Good to hear - the less work required, the better. Â A new Corolla might be cool to have on display, but it would look shit next to any of the five other cars that are going to be there. :lol: Â MAYBE if a new Sportivo is released before then, but I doubt that would happen in time. Although the motor show is six months away, so it could happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasfishing Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 I want to have the strut braces, intercooler and struts/springs in  all i NEEED is to finish polishing it, and change one of my pinstrip strips over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancullen Posted November 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Excellent. Since both of you have bugger all work to do on your cars (strut braces won't take long - intercooler is another matter), you can help me get the KE55 and TA22 done. :lol: Â BTW, I now have my own set of spring compressors. If ever you need to fit springs, you know who to see. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure-SX Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Spring compressors = Tickets to the GUN SHOW. Â Ohh, forgot to say, rear shocks/springs, along with front shocks/springs are in. NEW SWAYBAR IS IN. Just waiting till better weather for the front swaybar and new steering components.

ancullen Posted November 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Turns out one of my suppliers has closed up shop. So I don't have access to as great a range as I used to. ;) Â I'm still happy to help you get the best price possible though. Â EDIT: As for wheels, there are some nice 13" Jellybeans that would look GREAT on your car, even if just as a temporary measure. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasfishing Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 jelly beans would look fat, might be able to lend ya sum 4 spoke drag wayz, might need tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
