That pinstripe is factory

yea car is orange, and depending if i can get the same paint as miller(?) i will spray my car that ford tango orange and have a signwriter or specialist place make me a new pinstripe. I was going to leave it off but i think it sets it off.

Ok, thanks to Taz Rx i now have 2 leaf packs so i can add some to my existing ones, i also got a new bonnet and a grille, i polished the badges on the grille (i love autosol) and resprayed the grille satin black. I'm also thinking about the xt130 struts, 604 rotors and hilux calipers which i don't think will fit under 14's so ill also include a picture of what my car would look like running 17" concept 5's.

Picture Time!

nice worj john keep it um man! max respect :ninja:

cheers mate,

 

very, very angry at the moment, can someone tell me how to remove the top half of my dash I've got all the nuts off and there are only 2 screws holding it in place and i cannot get them to budge and its starting to shit me! any help would be very apreciated.

here is a picture that shows where the screws are that I'm talking about.

John

With paitantce you shall be able to remove it. I've removed many in my time and it gets easier. Just take your time, i think a phillips screwdriver will do the job. Use your sense of touch with one hand and direct the screwdriver to the screw with your other.

 

Just be careful and make sure all the nuts and screws are gone before reefing it off. It tends to crack.

 

Hope it helps,

 

Jon.

Update:

Yay I finally got my leaf pack finished with a final count of 7 leafs with 2 flipped. I also got new seats off casey aka flat out and I put my new grill on.

Pictures: (shit quality as I've been using my camera phone)

John

This is probably a pretty damned obvious question that I'm asking, but anyway; why are you running 7 leaves, what are the benefits of doing it? Other then being uber-stiff.. I presume its more for cornering on hard surfaces rather than anything else?

 

Cars looking good though man :D

that car looks butt ugly at the moment but meh it will get there, and yea i would like it to be super stiff so i can do fully sick skids with no tramp and also go round corners faster.

I do not condone any of the above actions and if you wish to do that take it to a track and be safe like i will be!

John

Hmm yeah I don't have any interest in doing skids.. *cough cough*

 

Might give the 7-leafs idea a go.. might PM lappy about it, hes probably already tryed it..

are they a standard corolla seat??? the front ones look like they are different to the ones ive seen, are the head rests of a different car??

umm as far as i know they are out of a ke55 coupe and look corolla-ish to me

Its another "DIFFERANCE" that comes from a square headlight model. Quite cool. I've got a set in my KE30. I think they look cool without the headrests. (Headrests are on ATM). http://www.rollaclub.com/database/viewpic.php?id=00000855

 

I've only ever found one square headlight 55 whith vinal seats, they always seem to be cloth. Anyways, the ones with the cloth usually have the better options.
