lappy Posted July 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 (edited) I just came back from driving the rolla with the new baileys channel and its got rid of 90% of the noise. Now I can actually hear the radio :) I would reccomend this for every Corolla driver because after 30 years they don't seal well Edited July 5, 2007 by lappy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lappy Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Hey guys Update time well i Bought a head of ebay it said near new I thought it must have been a bit corroded but its not its just like new but with some surface corrosion as it has been stored in a shed see here New head so it will be off with the balanced ottom end tomorrow to go to the machine shop for a light skim and acid bath and some heavier valve springs. Also my block has to be faced as it been warped 7 thou and my engine builder wants it right so we can set it up the same as our racecar engines :y: so hopefully in 2-3 weeks it will be ready for install along with engine bay respray. Engine bay pics soon but it is prepped ready for paint maybe next weekend as I have a week end off from racing also Pending YR12 homework :S Thats all for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lappy Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Time for an update :sob: here is my engine got it back this week ready to go in over my 5 day easter w/e. It will be installed after an engine bay paint job tomorrow the engine bay is stripped and 1/2 rubbed back so keep tune in for an update. :no2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lappy Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 (edited) It's alive :D after an engine bay respray and reassembly here she is looks stock but I have to do a bit more cleaning and painting to some of the componants and a new 2" exhaust because the straw-like exhaust system i have now isn't cutting with the new cam which is very similar to my racecar and is taking a bit of getting used to due to it's large nature also getting the rear springs reset to a lower level to the level of my super-lows in the front. More progress to come Edited March 27, 2008 by lappy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

towe001 Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Driving at 100 Km/h is a very loud experience in the corolla so in an effort to cut don the noise i bough new baileys channel which seals the window. Question, where'd you get the channel from ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
