Rolla__Boy Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 When people allow you to pay them off, it's good as you don't notice the money going, so even if he was a little more expensive it doesn't matter so much....and 7mil thick=YUCK!!! You are lucky they didn't turn to dust :harhar: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falken_KE30 Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 hahahah yeah, Well i have my new exhaust on now, i noticed better responce and more revy too!. the rotors are off i dunno what but they are brand new and are thick and chunky... the extractors i have no idea what brand, but they are a dark grey blue colour, pics tommorow after new tyres and ive had a tinker with the carb (needs a rebuild, might strap the nikki off a gemmi on it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo_rolla Posted January 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Alright, after quite a bit of thought, lots of advice, 70 posts, & 1.5 hours at the exhaust shop, i finally got the exhaust done on tuesday! Was only gonna get the resonator cut out (just purchased a new house, so i can't afford nice things anymore :)), but it needed to be welded up near where the pipe meets the extractors as well, so figured i'd get them to do the whole system while it was out. Ended up going 2" (1.75" didnt look like a big increase over standard), with just simple mild-steel tip (couldnt bring myself to pay $70 for a chrome tip! :cool: ). Looks a bit better than the standard system, and the note is pretty nice considering the small capacity engine. Much better than it was with the shot resonator & leak!!! $230 installed for the lot. Anyway, for what you've all been waiting for (sure you've had many sleepless nights wondering when it was gonna be done :( ) Before - pea shooter anyone? What $230 got me :( Extractors, new cams, suspension & rims will be next, but all the $$$ is going into the house at the moment, so might have to wait on that! (why can't cars appreciate in value??? :eatlead: Until the next instalment rollaclubbers..........Thanks to all for your advice & opinions! :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Nice work. well... if you're happy with the end result... that's all that counts :cool: Oh... it was a 4K, Nick :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolla__Boy Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Needs some PHAT rear tyres :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo_rolla Posted January 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Yeah, just the lil ol 4k Nick....thanks tiger! Looked at the supercharger path, but will hold off on that for a bit longer as i wanna do some cosmetic things to it first :( (rims, suspension, & finish wacking in my stereo & central locking) Needs some PHAT rear tyres I know rollaboy.....currently looking at what i can wack on there. Considering MA61 rims, or something off like a 180/CA18 etc (these are suitable right, just slightly different offset??), but only want something cheap. So I'm keeping my eyes open on the forums for whatever comes up! Also heaps difficult to find suitable rims here in adelaide as i rang around & no-one had anything. I'll tell them exactly what model I'm after though (ie MA61 or CA18 etc) next time though as opposed as "something to suit a KE70" as they don't draw the comparison that some other rims will fit. Anything wider than the pizza cutters that are on there now would be a great change though! :) Priced a set of those Konig "rewinds" (saw them in the latest fast4's), and they were $250each without tires for 15x7....trying to cash in on the hachi & hachi wanna be market i think! :( Any suggestions for suitable rims would be appreciated too, but I'm still doing some research on it :eatlead: Just found some old TRX rims a guy on AE86driving club has got on ebay.... TRX Rims on Ebay. May be worth a look & bid... :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo_rolla Posted January 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 (edited) Okay, been for a squiz on ebay.....here's a couple of options i've come up with: Not sure what these are???? Just a pity they're the wrong offset! Anyone know what sorta wheels these are? OR MA61 Supra Rims Probably go without the centre caps though :cool: Thoughts? Opinions?

Rolla__Boy Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 (edited) The top set are Neal wheels, I had a set of 15's. There is a big discussion on those wheels somewhere on here, they are cool wheels. What size wheels do you really want? My mate has a set of 13 inch 12 slotters with new 205 tyres on his KE30 that he is going to sell soon, they are PHAT Pic... *Edit...I just noticed, the seller says the rims are for rear wheel drive car, but then again he also said they will suit corolla and gemini, which as anyone with half a clue knows, have a completely different stud pattern, so who knows.

love ke70 Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 i believe they are ma61 rims on that ke70, although I'm not sure, just saw ur pic and thought...ive seen those b4, so yeah thats a very neat ke70 belonging to a member i think and i think the wheels work well with the colour, but maybe not every colour... just thought id give ya a look, i like them :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo_rolla Posted January 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 (edited) What size wheels do you really want? After probably 14" or 15" rollaboy. I'm not lowering it for a while so I'm gathering there'll be no problem with scrubbing with 15's, unless i run like 225's or something :cool: 14x6.5 or 14x7 would be the ideal way to go i guess.... Thanks for that Pic loveke70! Always good to compare apples with apples :) Having said that though, my "light poo brown" doesnt quite compare to that paint job! I'd eventually love to have mine done in something similar to the following: Ford Narooma Blue i think Or something not to dis-similar to this (love the BBS rims as well!): I reckon it'll come down to either those, or the "Neals" rims! I think the TRX rims would look similar to something like this, but without the DISH: (can't remember whose car this is but fairly sure its off the forums - sorry) Keep the opinions coming!

KE30Coupe Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 TRX rims will fit as Rolla Boy has em on his 30 and I'm about to put some on mine. don't know how they'd look on a 70 though.

love ke70 Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 (edited) :cool: that top car you posted turbo rolla omg omg omg so damn hot~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Edited January 20, 2006 by love ke70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo_rolla Posted January 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 (edited) Thanks for the pics Ke30! I have to get a photo of a decent set of trx rims so i can do the same. there's a car i drove past on the way home from my new place that has a black set on them, so i'll grab a photo and chop em on and go from there! That 1600 was on carsales/carpoint or something a while ago loveke70! Reckon it would've moved pretty quickly though! Actually, try this: :Hmmmmmmmmmmmm Saw it when i was browsing and was just struck by the colour! Awesome colour and awesome looking car! Very schmick Will see how the photoshop of the rims goes, and also do some research in the meantime :dance Edited January 20, 2006 by turbo_rolla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolla__Boy Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 I like the blue KE70 under the 1600...It is hot!!! TRX rims suit the corolla's pretty well, not sure if I have seen a set on a KE70 though. 195/50/15 tyres suit TRX rims perfectly, so you shouldn't have scrubbing problems if you stick to that :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
