philbey Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 yeh screw it, flare it up like that orange one with the lip spoiler and the AE86 front end in it. After all, I've got these plans to buy an 80 year old ford and rip right into it with an angle grinder, what's the big fuss with a bloody corolla!

Now that's more like it Tom!!! :jamie: It will be all metal guards, none of this overfender crap.

towe001 Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 I thought of something to do with lemons but you usually associate the word lemon with a crap car :jamie: You also associate "lemon" with one running around with a dyke Love the superlights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukeAE71 Posted November 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Just helped my brother in law buy a KE20 off ebay, so it's coming to mine for some resto work before it hits the streets!! Best bit is if he changes his mind on it I will buy it from him so I will have an 11 and a 20, :jamie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philbey Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 (edited) seriously though - we're talking about a corolla, not even a sprinter. Lets face it there's much rarer machines out there. If it were some putz 18 year old kid going to chop it up and full sick it, only to see it parked under the pepper tree for eternal rust damnation, I'd be against it too. But I'm confident that luke will get into it, mod it and pull it off well and everyone will be "wow that's a nuts looking ke1x". If everyone was doing "granny spec" mods then we would never see the cool modded cars out there. Damn, who wants a 32 ford in original nick... Nobody. The reason everyone wants them is because they look mean with a chop and a channel and no fenders! BUT - No bog, no bolt ons, just all steel baby.

LukeAE71 Posted November 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 You're right Tom, once I start on it it will be completed. I started and finished my engine conversion on my last car so there is no reason to doubt that I won't complete this :yes: I am getting together a range of bald tyres to try on to work out how much flare and stretch of guards is required, so this thing is happening. I have to measure the front struts too to work out which Otomoto Sleeve Kit to go with, and organise some KE20 adjustable camber tops :jamie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philbey Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 (edited) If there's not a direct match for the coilover diameter, you could adapt it, probably just turn up some short spacer sleeves to fit a sligthly larger diameter item. The other half of the suspension/coilover issue is getting a shocker for it. I've got no doubt that you could fit a 911 shock in with a spacer on the bottom end, but there's bound to be other units that will be cheaper.
