Any progress Sim? Cheers, Ben.

Haha thats cool Yeah got some lcas for some camber, and was offered some lowered springs to drop her 2 inches but I'm thnking it may be too much now. Anyone know where I can get some Ra40 springs lowered 1-1.5 inches? Cheers, Ben.

OK dude no probs yeeww rolla cruise soon sounds sik I'm hunting high and low for a minta KE20 or 26. Cheers, Ben.

The front struts have standard RA40 springs in them, not lowered RA40 springs. I STILL need to lower it It currently has 195s on the front, they're bald as fuk, picking up some new 185s for a good price this arvo But yeah the plan is, lower it (probs 1-1.5 inch at front, 2 inches at rear), different KE30 grille (like on Falken Ke30s 2 door), put on solex's, watanabes, new rust free guards, respray a few areas, new seats, and yeah just cruise it. I actually like the side mouldings, just need to stick the one back on from the lhs rear guard as about 4-inches of it is starting to unstick. Planning on keeping this for a while, as its probably my favourite Rolla so far, but I do really want a minta original KE20 or 26 so we'll see what happens. Cheers, Ben.

Not lowered yet :) And yeah I don't reckon I can go 2 inches at the front with wheels with this offset lol, I reckon 1 inch would be enough. Cheers, Ben.

Haha yeh some of the turbo's they run over there on these are bigger than your head. I don't know though, I don't really wanna spend too much on this as its my daily and its JUST a KE30 :) Went to U pull it yesterday and got two overrated sunvisors, a black vinyl gear boot, and a full set of overrated stainless gutter trims which replaced my cracked plastic ones. Cheers, Ben. Edit: why can't we write A J P S on here?

Finally a thread for your cars Henry. The 11 looks so much better with the whitewalls since when I saw it, I'm so jealous man. The KE10 looks about the same as when I saw it last haha. Man I want a minta original KE10-26 now. Tell me a bit about the KE30, PM me if you like. Cheers, Ben.

Thought I should tell you guys, when I was at U pull it yesterday there is a T18 in there with decent bumpers. In case your KE70 guys are after some. Cheers, Ben.

Haha good one Nick Seriously considering turbo after seeing some of the shit the guys in the States do to these engines. But $$$ and legality is a problem lol Cheers, Ben.

Haha Nick they were +6 now they're +1 if you know what I mean I'm loving the 3T, heaps better than any K-engine I have driven, the torque is definitely helpful. Don't have to rev its guts off ya know haha Took out an AW11 MR2, the dude swore it was 4A-GE, He didn't believe it was 'single cam' haha can't wait for solex's hehe, then turbo the sod, then...ah fuk this Will get pics up soon Cheers, Ben.

awww that 5-speed ashtray cover is mad! Rockin neons yeewww haha what colour neons? Cheers, Ben.

^^^What he said. This man knows his stuff when it comes to 3TC conversion into KE30 lol he did my car. Cheers, Ben.

Hey Myles, nice start to a project mate. The 3TC is definitely a worthy conversion too, my KE30 has a 3TC and it goes alot better than any K engine I have driven. They are popular in the States with turbocharging and big power. Not personally a fan of those rims, neons, steerer or purple engine paint lol but well done for being different. Cheers, Ben.

Nah mine needs to be lowered bad tho, haha getting leafs flipped this week. Think I did see a real faded white one there with black stockies? Cheers, Ben.

My white KE30? Couldn't be me. My 30 is yellow and had Celica stockies on the front and meshies on the rear. Rollaclub sticker on back window. Cheers, Ben.

Quiet you haha :D nothing Cheers, Ben.

Yeah sounds good, think last time I was there there was 3 KE30's, 1 KE55, and a clean old skool Corona (lol apart from crash damage and obvious parts missing) which I stole some parts off. Cheers, Ben.

Haha good work Mitch :wink: I was gonna buy them for my 5k. Can't wait to hear the induction sound. :D Cheers, Ben.

lol I need to go to U pull it, many KE30s there Bianca? Cheers, Ben.

Last night out cruising in the 30 spotted Ravens KE25 daily down Greenhill rd. Looked pretty tough dude. Cheers, Ben.

Its all overkill really for just a 3k lol but ye good start to a project son! This was so tempting mainly because of the andra rollcage and shitload of parts, I considered buying it for rota but yeh lol Cheers, Ben.

Yeah I agree with Jip, make it the same font as the stickers. That would look mickey mouse Cheers, Ben.

+1 probably a good idea dude Cheers, Ben.

Its a standard ke70 engine bay, not that much to see Hope you don't mind me posting a pic Jordan Cheers, Ben.
