Enjoy it Will!

ooohhhh i will

ill take good care of it ;)

love it

cool ride man, whats the plans? I wanted to buy this but 1 is enough hahaha

 

engine looks clean and the body looks good so general tidy up?

 

looks like it needs a polish...

plan atm is to just get the rust under control, stick some new springs in the front and put seatbelts in the back (mum wont let me drive anyone round unless i do) and the steering box is very slack at neutral so i will be fixing that sometime soon

 

once that is done I'm not gonna do much to the engine/ drive train for now, gonna focus on the body and the interior, want it looking overrated ;)

just considering if i have to time/ facilities to paint it myself

 

its a sick first car

ill keep it updated with whatever i choose to do

Nice work Will, bet you can't wait to get back to yours.

 

good to see you on Rollaclub already man

 

get more pics up when you get it...

think ill have a bit of a play with dad's d90 when it gets here

Looks good mate!

Nice car mate! I actually just bought a ke30 for my first car, its brilliant, same colour, its kind of my project car, but corolla's are great for a first car :) Hope you love it man.

hey boys,

 

alrighty then, its been a while... i decided i don't like body work and I'm not very good at, so I'm going to focus on the engine for the moment :dance:

 

looking at building a 2/3tg hybrid so i picked up a decent 3t to start it off. when i got there noticed it was a 13t but from what i can tell they are exactly the same? just different emissions?

 

does anyone know if there is a difference in 2 and 3t block weight? or are they pretty much exactly the same?

 

fan, air con and alternator taken off and cleaned up, intake manifold to left of motor for sale, $20

 

 

got to cleaning it up straight away, this engine has never been cleaned... ever...

 

dirty side

 

 

clean(ish) side

 

 

i havnt decided what gbox to run yet, it is down to either a t50 or a w series. any thoughts?

 

cheers guys

I have a twin sidedraught 2TG manifold if you go 3TG hybrid.

sick man, don't have much cash atm tho.
