hotdoghogie Posted April 12, 2009 Report Posted April 12, 2009 (edited) Hey guys... i am Dennis i live in the states... i adopted this great condition ke30 with a 3tc swap after i sold my ery amazing prelude to pay for school... $2500 for her drove 400+ miles to get her worth every ounce of gas i love this car... almost more then the prelude :D this is a few pics of the whip when i just got her... shes been lowered don't worry. Few questions fender mount mirrors? yes no? any one wanna trade for some chromed supra/celica wheels? heres the prelude i had ;) Edited April 12, 2009 by hotdoghogie Quote
roladude Posted April 12, 2009 Report Posted April 12, 2009 Let me be the first to say welcome. You have a hott rolla. Quote
Chobis Posted April 12, 2009 Report Posted April 12, 2009 WOW !!! I actually wish you hadn't lowered the Rolla. As it sits in the pic it's got that old school hotrod rake feel about it. Was big among street machiners in the late 70's and through the 80's for a while too and I think it will be popular again. Either way, jacked up at the back or lowered, that is a great looking car. The Prelude looks pretty neat too btw.. Fender mirrors = yes for me, but please please please lose the door mirror if you do it. Quote
hotdoghogie Posted April 12, 2009 Author Report Posted April 12, 2009 o yes door mirror is going... the car isnt perfect. i plan on building a DD that can attack the track no problem as i did with the prelude. the 3tc has a bigger carb, mild cam, and full exhaust. its still extremely slow :\... it has a 1st gen rx7 lsd rear end as for mirrors chrome or black... or goofy lookin oem ones... haha its all soo new to me!

JiP Posted April 12, 2009 Report Posted April 12, 2009 Hey, welcome to the club. Thats a really hot KE30 you have there. I'd love to see more pics. Do you have any close up pics of the mirror?? If it is the same as our drivers side, I'd be willing to buy it from you. :D So other than fender mirrors and changing the wheels, what are the plans for her?? What wheels will be going on?? Quote
hotdoghogie Posted April 13, 2009 Author Report Posted April 13, 2009 hmmm well I'm currently in school and paying for every semester... i have been looking at other wheels and setups... i want to make all the parts that count functional... so as for wheels i plan on getting rid of some unsprung weight i had in mind some bassett racing steelies or diamond racing in 13" with some overly wide tires beides the basics for now coilovers on the front, a more sport tuned sounding exhaust, mkII front duckbill, buckets, spoiler, bolt-on fender flares, strut tower bar, tierods... anything i am missing that is more important? this 3tc feels soo sluggish... is that cuz its just a 3tc? o and jip i will get you a close up on the mirror... if you pay for shipping you can have it :D. you just gotta wait till i find some replacements Quote
PHATKE20S Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 Hey, welcome to the club. Thats a really hot KE30 you have there. I'd love to see more pics. Do you have any close up pics of the mirror?? Agreed totally with JiP..That's a nice 30 you've got there. As for the mirror, I think it's the same as our KE70 mirrors from the 'CS' model? Quote
hotdoghogie Posted April 13, 2009 Author Report Posted April 13, 2009 will do the pics for you guys tomarrow... I'm guessing they are hard to find where you guys are located... maybe you could hook me up with some parts i can't get? :D Quote
Calam05 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 awesome car mate. love it! is that how it looks or is it good photography skills? what colour paint and what are those wheels called? Calam Quote
hotdoghogie Posted April 14, 2009 Author Report Posted April 14, 2009 no car really is that clean... and my budy is really good with his camera. Its hondas championship white... and those wheels are off a mkII supra... i brushed a curb today parking :D. i was in a hurry Quote
hotdoghogie Posted April 14, 2009 Author Report Posted April 14, 2009 o and btw you foriegn guys are much nicer then Americans... had to point that out lol Quote
Tume Posted April 14, 2009 Report Posted April 14, 2009 I reckon the car looks good with those wheels, did they have any gutter rash before today? Also why are we so much nicer then Americans? Just curious.. Quote
hotdoghogie Posted April 14, 2009 Author Report Posted April 14, 2009 no not really... damn o and americans like to just dawg your shit just because its not their taste in tuning... all the honda guys loved the lude as soon as i sold it my idol position dropped and they said the toyota was the gayest thing ever right next to the miata... Oklahoma is a very small minded state... lol Quote
JiP Posted April 16, 2009 Report Posted April 16, 2009 will do the pics for you guys tomarrow... I'm guessing they are hard to find where you guys are located... maybe you could hook me up with some parts i can't get? :jamie: Yes and no. The reason I asked was cause your drivers side is our passenger side. Toyota only released the cars with drivers side mirrors. So the way I see it, we need to find some USA spec mirrors to be fitted to our passenger doors. Quote
