greenmac80 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 car looks good! prep is the most boring and time consuming! Question about your booth.. have you used plastic sheating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johno Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Great job with the car man! Looks great :dance: Did you paint the engine bay and the internal door trims? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukey Posted April 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 yep the booth is just plastic drop sheets hung with pegs lol and we did do the door trims but they didnt need to be done because it was yellow before and the engin bay will get done when i put a 5k in her *peace* :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukey Posted July 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 updates......... been driving the rolla around for a few weeks now was running really rich and found out it was running at about 20L per 100km was great with these petty prices. So i got it tuned new plugs and points and she is running quite well.  I also had a oil leak and found out it was due to poor engin breathing, then i found out that that was because my PCV valve gromet had shat its self. I called jarvis toyota and then they emailed JAPAN and then got told they don't make them anymore so i guess I'm gonna have to go to wreckers and have a fat look  Here is a piccy of a PCV valve gromit just incase you have no clue what I'm talking about in piccy it is circled in red   More pics coming soon Lukey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukey Posted October 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 New updates......  last week i planed to put the manual conversion into the rolla. I was going to do it at a mates place who lived at Mclaren Vale but then car started to overheat. I didnt reallt want to drive that far with a really shitty radiator but the Auto had to come out!!! :y:  Anyway got there safe and started to rip out the old auto and put the manual in  It was a fair bitch of a job to do the peddal box was the hardest thing to do, pulling the old auto one out and putting the new manual one in.  Now driving the rolla around is so much f@$king better  Will post some more pics up tomorrow Lukey :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
