Nostalgia Posted October 24, 2011 Author Report Posted October 24, 2011 Haha Josh, are you correcting me and saying there is no such engine as a 3s-fe? Or because the 3s-ge is much better? I know this, but I have a free 3s-fe :P 1 Quote
JordyKE Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 My wires go out the back, i just cut 2 small holes in the rear of the glovebox. Sit's nicely in there. I think personally, it's the best place for it. And seeing as you have a remote, that would be the best bet. Yeah true venetians are hard to find. But soo worth the cash once you have. Did you ever think of rof racks for your wags?? I considered it. Although it's a 50/50. Quote
Nostalgia Posted October 24, 2011 Author Report Posted October 24, 2011 Yeah, I guess two small holes wont hurt it that much... Maybe post a photo for me? Haha yes I have, see the liteace in the first photos? Sold that for $250 on Saturday with three weeks rego, blown headgasket and free water in the cylinders, but before they took it I pinched the roof racks to put on the 26 :) going to clean them up nicely! They're basic metal and fully adjustable, so I'll just have to trim down the cross bars a little so I don't take people's heads off. I also took the little 'T' centre caps, thought I may want them one day. Quote
JordyKE Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 Dayyummm, that's sweet mate, good score!! That's what i need. I didn't even think of looking on vans. *going to wreckers tomorrow now :wink: * Quote
Nostalgia Posted October 24, 2011 Author Report Posted October 24, 2011 Haha yeah, and considering I only paid $250 for the van before the 4k drowned, I'm pretty happy! Both the liteace and the 26 have those same gutters so should work a treat, might just find some old innertube from my mountain bike as something to put between the gutter and the clamp bit :2thumbs: Quote
JordyKE Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 Yeah that sounds like a rad idea!!! Quote

I know this, but I have a free 3s-fe :P I know that there is such thing as a 3S-FE, but we used to have a 1990 Apollo/Camry with a 3S-FE, and it was absolutely rubbish, gutless, and pathetic. It struggled to get to 100km/h, and the only time it did get to 100km/h was going Downhill. :D The 3S-GE however is much better, sporting Twin Cams and more Power, especially the Beams 3S-GE from the Altezza. :) It would be an awesome idea throwing a 3S engine into the 26, but in doing that, the originality of the 26 will be lost. :yes: Josh :cool: Edited October 24, 2011 by ewt Quote

Specially with a manual and the weight of a 26. Plus the FE is twincam my friend. A Beams or even just a GE would be sweet, but I never would, I want to keep the 3k! If I wanted a 26 with a 4age or 12a or Beams or anything, I'd buy an already molested 26 and ruin that haha. 1 Quote

Specially with a manual and the weight of a 26. Plus the FE is twincam my friend. Yes. There was a serious problem. It was a 3-speed auto and it had 280,000km on it. The ID tag was marked with 3S-FE on it, but I'm not too sure it was..... :hmm: A Beams or even just a GE would be sweet, but I never would, I want to keep the 3k!

Nostalgia Posted October 25, 2011 Author Report Posted October 25, 2011 3spd? Odd, I didn't think they came 3! Mines 4spd, 275,000 ks haha. I guess yours wasn't making the original 88 killawasps, far from it by the sounds! Anyway, hoping to go to Bob Jane's, Ozzy Tyres, Pedders and Instant Windscreens tomorrow to make some appointments :) very keen to get things moving. Quote

New tyres today thanks to Ozzy Tyres Moonah :) Federal 155 r12s, $75 each. They're going to be doing the rest of my brake and suspension work also! Got a little white 'Ozzy Tyres' sticker for the back window :) adjacent the 'Co-operative Motors' sticker. Quote
mr04ag Posted October 27, 2011 Report Posted October 27, 2011 UN f@$kEN REAL. This thing is ace as man! sweet colour, sweet corolla ness, just sweet. If you decide to sell her, let me know ;) Quote
Nostalgia Posted November 23, 2011 Author Report Posted November 23, 2011 Cheers! I love yours man, I've watched your videos a number of times, it sounds SO good! Actually just last night a was searching for your thread to find your suspension setup :) And I don't think I'll be selling this for a LONG time. When I get another daily in the future and this is m.int I'll be putting it on SI plates :) Quote
Nostalgia Posted December 22, 2011 Author Report Posted December 22, 2011 REGISTEREDEDEDEDDD! I'm so happy! A special thanks to Ozzy Tyres for getting me a good deal on my bushes and brake hoses, even though it took them 3.5 weeks and they had to take it back and actually adjust the brakes... Also Instant Windscreens for sneakily getting me a windscreen for $350 fitted from O'Brien, saving me a few hundred! And a special thanks to Scott (PMP020) for the indicators which sealed the deal ten minutes before the inspection :) It was funny, walking home after dropping the 26 at the Service Centre, the receipt for the 26 fell out of my pocket, so I had no proof that I owned it when I went to change the rego into my name and pay for it, other than the original ad from the paper, the previous owners name and the papers to say I'd had the inspection done! But the nice lady at Service Tas helped me out and she was on the road in no time :) I will post up some HOT modelling photos of Georgie soon ;) Quote
