Mango Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Hi all I haven’t been on here for a while due to an overseas holiday… tooooo long.. I have narrowed down my choice of colours to gunmetal, orange, matt black or sky blue… not narrowed but better than the 30 colours I was trying to choose from. Now with the motor…. I have a few options. 5ke turbo or supercharged. 7ke turbo or supercharged. Warm 2tg with possibility of supercharging later on… 2/3tg extractors and tin carb obviously I know theres the 4ag options. I have had a look at an sr20de option too but these will be expensive…. Unless someone has a kit to sell .... I'm not after a dyno queen but would likesome torque….. Tell me your thoughts. And preferably experiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason KE30 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Go with the sky blue i reckon... I don't think I've seen another ke25 in sky blue. Would look pretty cool i reckon.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drc_ke20 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) go Orange so that you have that original mango look or what about current mazda 6 red?? its nice :dance: Edited March 2, 2009 by drc_ke20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 mazda red is nice.... I'm a bit over red though... especially as they still are proned to fade quicker than other colours... mazda have a teal colour also which is pretty sweet and their arctic white is awsome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seabiscuit Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Warwick Yellow would look really nice I think. Or even a nice soft blue colour. For your motor, definitely a 2t/3t twin carb setup. Oldschool motors are a must for oldschool cars. They just sound a hell of a lot cooler, are so much easier to maintain and you can build it like lego. Good luck with the project and get lots more pics up now that you've got it home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted May 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 well ladies and gentlemen i thought it was time to pull out the finger and do something with the rolla. it is currently in for its initial Road worthy check so fingers crossed. then i have a set of 15's i have a very close eye on which will probably be the first mod and then a set of r31 GTS2 skyline buckets will be installed. Tally i think i will leave it the poo colour for now as its growning on me..... be back with an update soon Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz_Rx Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 5ke TURBO for the top-end 7ke SC for the torque :rolla: If you like torque then: 7k...... tick, stock cam.......tick, SC...... tick. Hell even if you just go for a "Rolla_boy style" draw through SC setup on a 7k then I'm sure you'll love the bottom end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted May 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 choices choices :rolla: can't wait to find out how the R/W check went Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted May 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Well got my car back from the R/W check and there is a bit of a list but don’t think it should be too hard. Hopefully I can get some peeps rounded up to give me a hand. List is as follows: Wipers Washers Rust in roof gutter Battery not secure Driver seat not secure Brake pedal rubber Footwell carpet missing Windscreen needs repair – pit fill Idler arm bushes Right hand inner and outer tierod ends Pitman arm ball joint L+R b/joints – lower Castor bar bushes Shackle rubbers – swinging Small about of rust in wheel well Front sway bar D/bushes Front Brake hoses Rear brake hose Rear gearbox mounts Front inner guard plastics missing ???? anyone have one?? Strut tower rubber mounts what do you think?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
