slammedrolla55 Posted March 31, 2014 Report Posted March 31, 2014 Hey guys, just bought this 78 55 rolla. Body isn't the best but I'm repairing it as we speak. Can anyone tell me some things I can do to make it any better eg engine mods, suspension, aftermarket parts?? Quote
Mechanical Sympathy Posted April 1, 2014 Report Posted April 1, 2014 Show us what it looks like. A set of factory XX alloy wheels greatly reduces the unsprung weight of your suspension, giving improvements in handling and feel. They're cheap - often given away here - and look trick with a Bunnings metal polishing kit applied IMO. A set of Pacemaker extractors sound great with a new 1.75" exhaust. Throw in a mild re-ground cam and it will sound like a rotary. Bolt on kits and manifolds to fit Weber downdraft and sidedraft carburettors are all over ebay. Quote

Mechanical Sympathy Posted April 3, 2014 Report Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Prices on what products? You didn't supply any information or pics in your original post but sounds like you already have the basics covered that I outlined. So from there you're either hotting up the K engine (read the K engine wiki on this site) or boosting it, or doing an engine conversion - where the sky is really the limit as far as prices go. $1000-$2000 for a rebuild. Maybe $1000 for a junkyard-tech boost. Maybe $3000+ for an engine swap - all if you do the work yourself. Hoppers Stoppers and Techo Toy Tuning have their respective websites for street cred products. Edited April 3, 2014 by Mechanical Sympathy Quote
