And what may be the biggest front brake rotors a corolla has ever seen. Only 270mm diameter but they are an inch wide!!!!

Woah, thems some anchors.

What are the rotors out of?

They off a 2005 ford transit van... who would have though that race rotors were made for transits!! Haha

They rears are 291mm off a supra but they only half ad wide

My mk1 golf chin spoiler needs a bit of a trim. But will look good.

Ive decided to put the front indicators in the grill so purchased these little 3 LED waterproof clearance lights. My front parker will be an angel eye in my headlights and I will be putting a rectangle fog light into the space in the front bumper where the indicator and parker used to be

Engine mounts and crossmember came out amazing.

 

Looking great Dave. Can't wait to see what this bad boy is going to look like when finished, always a fan of your work.

Cheers rob.

Some more progress as ive been at home for last few weeks after having surgery.

Sub box in wheel well and with floor installed.

 

Strut cut down ready to be sent to shockworks for coilovers.

 

engine crossmember and mount installed. Ke30 chassis rails warped while sitting on jack stands so had to pull it back together with steel rope and winch.

Hopefully tomorrow I can redo gearbox mount as I made it too short before as engine was sitting further forward.

Ill also try to get trans tunnel cut down and installed and if there is time fab up some seat mounts to mount the recaros :-)

Mitsubishi evo8 seat trimmed to fit corolla.

Back cushion n3eds a bit more trimming and bending to fit wheel arch and sit flat.

More foam to be added to bottom cushion so it sits on the floor too.

 

And gearbox mount. I have managed to use the stock honda mount which has vibration dampeners on it. And that is mated to two 49 flathead ford v8 engine mounts, which I have also used to mount engine. Half way through gearbox crossmember. Hopefully finished tomorrow.

Kun25 hilux lsd arrived today. Wasnt gunna run an lsd but we had heaps of rain recently and even the old 3k wouldnt drive up a slope as it kept single legging. Haha

My new pixel car rollas

The green oneis the daily and the silver one is what I picture the modified like finished :)

Hello all just an update.

I sent my hubs off to get engineered so my rotors fit. Should pick them up in a couple of weeks.

I also bought some r32 gtst wheels for the front of rolla and have some r32 gtr wheels coming soon for the back.

Gearbox mount done. Made a collar from round tube so crossmember is sealed.

Got my wheels finally.

R32 gtst fronts and r32 gtr rears.

 

 

Polished the lip on the wheels as gtr ones were badly kerbed so filed and sanded till smooth. Now just need to paint centre of front wheels then can get tyres fitted.

 

Fitted front brakes and calipers clear easily :-)

WTF! Is that a tyre on that rim or have you just painted the edge black?? :o

 

No potholes for this car!
