mumblezzz Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 (edited) Thought it would be interesting to see some rollaclub members cars transition from stock to Rock! :P I'll start with my old 86. Here we see it in its stockness glory... Well it did have the miss matched wheels goin. (taken on my 18th birthday BTW) I learnt alot about car control and had lots of fun on the way... Then tradgedy struck! I blew the 4ac. boohoo I was devestated..... really.... for about .001 of a second. So then began the rebuild with twincam power as well as a diet. fast faward a few months and it was back and ready to hit the track. A defect forced me to paint the car again to make it look half presenable and legal. So I celebrated my first track outing with the new paint job by doing this. But a mere wall would never stop me from doing what I love. So 85 bucks later it was business as usual. Until one fateful night when a camry decided it wanted to invade the same space as my sprinter and this happened. So there you have it. The hachi story. I kind of miss it now its gone even though I never showed it any respect and thrashed it within an inch of its life.

ancullen Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 So are you now going to rebuild OKE-250??? [Please say yes, please say yes, please say yes...] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Jamie Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 the shell was a write off, so it's gone to the crusher sob as for the future, still undecided, but rest assured it will involve 1970s rear wheel drive corollas :P :rocknroll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancullen Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Damn, I got my hopes up then. I did think you'd said just after the accident that it was a complete write-off, but those pictures gave me a glimmer of hope. Are you planning to try and hunt down a KE10/25 or do you think you'll go a bit more common and go the KE30/35/55 route? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Jamie Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 well, i've bought a ke36 panelvan. stock, useful, fuel efficient, drive car now i am faced with the dilemma of modifying it, or leaving it stock and setting aside 3 grand for another ke25 and doing it properly, or just doing a ke20 which i can get for like a hundred bucks and going all out on that instead only time will tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ancullen Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Ouchy. What the hell happened there? Here's my story: Bought my first car. Had some real fun in her. God I love that picture. Then a prat (who I knew from school) in his parents Falcon decided not to brake hard enough behind me while I was stopped. He also decided that it wasn't a good idea to try and move into either of the completely empty lanes either side of me. And the police said that this wasn't an accident, but an incident, even though my car got written off. At least I got $5,000 for her even though I only paid $4,000. Ah, the advantages of having an uncommon car in Darwin. And now she's been resurrected and may still be being driven around, even though the axle got bent.
