Everytime its that one random bracket thats slices you up :glare: how many stitches did you end up getting?

 

 

 

Man i still can't get over this car, its so cool and looks tough as! all it needs is a new set of shoes... and rego ;)

how long till its on the road?

9 all up, I'm going to remove that bracket and mess it up for revenge!! :) lol

 

shoes, rego, suspension, and buckets (I'm sitting way to high).

 

Looks pretty tough for a such a little car, some big plans for 2012 to make my rolla tougher, faster, stronger and cleaner.

 

Not sure how long before rego, have to save a little while for it all to happen.

4e looks good man, are an epic engine , i had a starlet for 4 years was pretty quick, flogged the piss out of it, never broke anything major :P

Awesome! Good to hear it. I was kinda looking forward to coming and meeting you guys though lol. Did you guys figure out what the problem was?

 

Haven't really worked it out as yet, basically the car needs to be choked for it to work, so when it's cranking I put my hand over the throttle intake and when there is enough suction remove my hand it starts up.

 

Whats the opposite of "Sex Fingers"?

 

What?

That's really good to hear, one of the main reasons going to it was the basic transplant, reliability and ease to get parts, especially performance parts.

What did you upgrade to?

You've never heard of someone having "sex fingers"? As in, everything they touch is f@#ked.

You said something along the lines of as soon as he touched it, it started.. if you still don't understand, forget i said anything :|

lol i get you now... That was 2011 tho, now i have yhe midas touch

sold her for a family car dude, bought the missus a 318i e46 bmw, and i drive the rolla :) had heaps of fun in it but a few track days aswell, might get another in the future

Hope you do, or a rolla with a 4e :happy:

 

I've been working on the parts car, stripping it bare to get mine road worthy, I've come to a bit of an issue, I can't get the darn bolts/nuts off the rear shockies ... rounded a couple of nuts trying :bash:

Once that's off, then I'm gong to work out how to get the engine out.

BURN ALL THE BRACKETS!!! lol

 

 

Does look heaps tough at the moment, just needs a bit more work... slowly but surely this is gonna turn into a beast this year. Looking forward to seeing more progress (and rego) :happy:

Thanks Justin :)

Progress made, KYB shockies and low springs now off parts car as well as exhaust and brake rotors and other stuff, my 14 spanner broke so that was basically the end of day.

If you need to borrow some tools then let me know.

Thanks Trev, well actually I do need to borrow some tools .. :hmm: .. would you have a engine crane lying around ... and maybe a ute lol :lolcry:

I went to that new Masters store around the corner and picked up a set of 22pc chrome spanners for 19 bucks, non chrome are 17... I'm yet to use them so not sure on quality and as the old saying goes, you get what you paid for.

 

here are some progress pics:

Loaded nearly all the parts into the car, time for a drop off o home and hide them from my wife so I don't get in trouble lol :P

hmmm cut the bottom out of a box and stick it over the parts and hope she never looks inside or moves it ... :hmm:
