Super Jamie Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 downgrade to ke25 discs and run 12s with low profile mini tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted August 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Less rolling diameter will always bring faster times. Slap 13's on ya rolla and take it for a boot. you'll notice it. True, but the funny thing is the steel rims were slightly larger. :rocknroll: Id love to slap some 13s on the rolla but i tried and the brakes clash :P There goes third gear smokeshows.. 12s sound even more fun, ......i think the sills would drag............ :rocknroll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted August 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 mmmmm lower... what profile do u normally run? ah, let me guess 17s?? I am running 15s with 195/50s on the road. Maybe i should try 14s with 50series, all in the quest for 3rd gear burnouts :D soo much fun.

Dan Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 you know what you need to do? get a clean white corolla chassis, fit whitwalls, venetians and transplant all the upgrades from your green machine.... or just paint all the chromes and surrounds black to 'highlight'. that'd look good.

oh what a nissan feeling! Posted September 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Whitewalls! yes, that is gold. I think i may have to do that.... as for changing cars, not really possible, way too many floor mods. over diff clearance, extra exhaust tunnel, +tunnel clearance for gearbox, I love the concept though, :D venitians! yes i love it! As for the black.....nah, I'm still considering metallic silver, i don't know about black........hmmmmm, .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted September 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 My old car ran 14" rims with stock Corolla rolling diameter 15" rims that I had as skid tyres for motorkhana had much lower profile, therefore the car sat lower at motorkhana!

Felix Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 full credit for the driveline upgrade. way more original then the majority of corolla owners. i like the idea of the metallic silver bumpers, tailight surrounds etc. would suit it. f@$k the whitewalls. wrong era of car. would look stupid on anything later than a ke20. not so sure about 17's or 18's. don't really suit the era of the car. that said something like FR17s would look good, not much else suits. otherwise it's more a fashion victim type of thing. 15's are good, something tough like dragways. you need dish, ke30's look tough with dish on the back. the above is my opinion. if you don't like it well...

oh what a nissan feeling! Posted September 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 I fully agree with what u say about the need for dish, i have some chrome 17s with a flat face and they draw alot of attention, but they really don't suit. I think 17s really could work as long as they have a large bit of rim on the outside. :D I have spent the last 2 days buffing the car, and the bumpers and some of the other smaller bits really need a repaint,as they are not real smooth, so i am getting real serious about considering the color change...... :angrybird: hmmmm......

NickZ Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Yes the BIG Chrome 17" wheels on a little ke30 do pull a few lookers. Even to the point where ive had my car parked in town and have watched from the other side of the road people taking pics of it. :D . But i also have a set of 195x50x15 wheels and tires for racing and my bad attempt of drifting (practice makes perfect) and for helping my fuel economy. I would love some big dish wheels. But they cost way too much now, everything is FWD offset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oh what a nissan feeling! Posted September 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 This is a pic from the Autofest this wk end. I qualified secound for the finals, but my brake line clamp failed in the final burnout, so i had to do almost the whole thing without brakes. :lol: :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
