philthy30 Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Awesome info. Cheers robj might have to try out a couple ideas. I was actually toying with the idea of putting a panhard rod in as I have a spare one lying around. The diff has never sat in the center of my 30 and I have never figured out why? maybe it was in a bit of a crash earlier in its life.

robj Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 No dramas Phil. I found getting 3 of Carroll Smith's books were a great investment in the build of my car. He was a F1 manager many years ago. The books were Tune to Win Drive to Win Engineer to Win. Cost me $100- $110 5 years ago, saved me much more than that in getting the wrong info or products, and the theory of driving was good too. Each book about 150-200pages of good text. With a good build like yours, might be worth grabbing your hand on them. Glad I was told to get them...smile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a good mate of mine, he just works out of his garage at home he whipped it up in about an hour, looks overrated. No dramas Phil.

I respect you and those who will help finish the build off. I would want to same thing if anything happened to me. I wish you and those that loved phil for the strength needed to handle this and to carry on. Edited June 20, 2010 by cuzzo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seabiscuit Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 I'm shocked, that just put a tear in my eye. I was following this eagerly and had no doubt that this would be one of the best Corolla's on the club. Thank you for giving us the news, Logan. I too give my condolences to everyone affected by the tragedy. Phil would be happy to know that the KE30 will be finished. Vincent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
