Rolla__Boy Posted December 11, 2005 Report Posted December 11, 2005 I know it's expensive, but when I degrease my engines, I buy one can of carby clean, it cleans more than 100 cans of degreaser could hope to...then I use normal degreaser for the easier bits. You should do it Jamie...drop it on it's ass, matte black etc. When you say KE55 dash, do you mean the one that moulds down towards the console, as opposed to the one that is moulded straight across with the extra section underneath for the heater controls?

dysolve Posted December 11, 2005 Report Posted December 11, 2005 rolla boy i do the same thing as you, two cans of carby cleaner then 4 cans of cheap degreaser then my ct-14 degreaser to finish it off.. Quote
Rolla__Boy Posted December 11, 2005 Report Posted December 11, 2005 Rusty water from the radiator doesn't come off very well with degreaser either, so I used a sponge and car wash...and it worked a treat Quote
st.nick Posted December 11, 2005 Author Report Posted December 11, 2005 Nice one guys!! This is what its all about. Quality advice and experiences. I'll buy carby cleaner next time!! :) Jamie- A slammed matt black van, dark windows, gunmetal painted bumpers and other chrome bits, and 17in shadow chrome wheels!! Oh, and I tried fitment of a '96 corolla steering wheel on the my Van... Fitted perfectly!! Only issue was that the horn-contact-ring didn't line up. Shouldn't be difficult to fix :P I'll fit the '96 steering wheel again once it passes rego!! Quote
Rolla__Boy Posted December 11, 2005 Report Posted December 11, 2005 I am pretty sure XF Falcon Altenators are the same physical size as a corolla one, you just swap the housings so they bolt in, and they are more powerful Quote
Super Jamie Posted December 11, 2005 Report Posted December 11, 2005 haha, that would be like a death wagon. that's actually a pretty good idea :) nikki (who owned the rollie ke30) was doing a similar thing with a ke36 wagon with the back doors welded up and the back seats plated over. stick in a coffin sub box and call the car "the undertaker" :P nice idea with the steering wheel xf alternators require a corolla front housing and longer stator bolts, and a few washers on the 4k block mount. if you're going over 6000rpm, underdrive it with a sigma pulley Quote
MOLLY Posted December 12, 2005 Report Posted December 12, 2005 wow! i have never seen metal panels before! all of our 2doors here have glass and same with the four doors! awesome! Quote
1ggtelola Posted December 12, 2005 Report Posted December 12, 2005 nice work nik. I'm selling my 2tg/3tg hibread soon so i can put in the 1ggte selling the lot motor computer box every thing to get it running Quote
Rolla__Boy Posted December 13, 2005 Report Posted December 13, 2005 ahhh the land of the fluffy white sheep Quote
Guest Brad Posted December 14, 2005 Report Posted December 14, 2005 wagons with metal on the side and 2 doors are in fact a van model, ones with glass is a wagon with 4 doors Quote
st.nick Posted December 14, 2005 Author Report Posted December 14, 2005 nice work nik. I'm selling my 2tg/3tg hibread soon so i can put in the 1ggteselling the lot motor computer box every thing to get it running DROOL DROOL DROOL!!! Hmmm.... Let me see what I can do!! Quote
st.nick Posted December 20, 2005 Author Report Posted December 20, 2005 Quick update: She passed rego (but my wallet didn't), has all of its electrical stuff done (cept the driving lamps)... Then once the wheel alignment was done... Issues!! Its got -6 degrees camber!! About 3 times too much!! The LATE model Sigma arms are too long, and I will have to change them for shorter, EARLY model Sigma arms. They are similar in appearance to the Corolla unit, but about an inch longer... Which should be perfect (fingers crossed) Stay tuned... :) Quote
