R motors are real restrictive in the top part of the rev range therefore can't push high numbers and tons of revs

Meh. 18rg is of no interest to me really.

 

Moreso the solex's. I also have a nice 2TG manifold sitting next to me :cool:

Installed a Kenwood head unit last night. Had it bought for me after doing a few favours and its freakin sweet.

Got a pair of Rampage 6"'s up front. (courtesy of the good old Myles) And a pair of Clarion 6x9 in the boot.

 

Goes suprisingly well! Very happy! pics to follow.

Got a new set of shoes for the old beast.

 

14x6 Challengers. Only +27 but fill the front guards very well.

 

They're polished alloy on the lips and edges of spokes with white in the middle and sides of the spokes. Doesnt look too bad actually.

 

Still rather dirty as they came off a sigma, hopefully clean, re-paint and polish this weekend. Pics then :yes:

i had a pair of rampage 6x9 and they were the worst speakers i've ever had in a car, i don't know how the 6's go but i'm not a huge fan of them aye, but aslong as ya happy with them thats all that matters bud

I was given em secondhand back when i bought my KE30. (Nov '08). Been sitting in a corner since. So not like my expectations were very high to begin with. They work, thats all that matters at the moment.

 

I sure don't drive it just to listen to the stereo :wink:

The best speakers ive found that a good price are KICKERS ive got a set of there 6x9 in my rolla and its awsome great bass and sound :happy:

 

 

 

see ya

Kicker seems pretty good. Hear nothing but good about them.

 

Mates got twin 12"s in the back of an 83 mustang. Sound Fkn sick.

 

 

 

Began to clean up the wheels. SO much built up brake dust and assorted shit.

 

Managed to get 2 sorta clean. hope to get some more paint and polish tomorrow arvo.

No progress on anything wagon related this weekend. Although I did score a set of working retractable seatbelts, Thanks Jase.

Hi there Slo,

Epic build, its a credit to you as I've seen many fall short attempting to rescue cars needing that much love!

 

I'll have to see this thing some day - going to Toyota Nationals easter 2011? :)

 

Cheers,

Jason

Thanks Jason,

 

Always brings a grin to my face when people compliment it, especially those who know how it is to finsh a project.

 

Toyota Nationals? The one organised by Toymods? Details? :P

 

CHEERS

Ryan

Diff seems to be on its way out :glare:

 

Do i get another K series or save the hassle next time and find a T series?

TA22 or RA23 Diff. Apparently they're really good on KE30-55 Corolla's. :yes:

 

Plus - Could be experience for later on... :jamie:

 

Josh :cool:

That would be the plan. Does anyone know what T18 diffs are like fitment wise?

 

Fitted newer front seat belts today. Tired of the old retractor not doing its thing :glare:
