Mighty tas rolla Posted March 2, 2008 Author Report Posted March 2, 2008 hi every body as promissed i got some photo's of the new corolla and its new found friend i picked up from the wreckers for barely anything the red 55 has a little bit of damage but is still in resonable condition may end up with a 4age or similar :wink: Quote
Clapped out Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 Good on ya mate! Glad you saved a rolla from the wreckers and the yellow one looks reasonably tidy, cheers phatke30! Quote
Mighty tas rolla Posted March 2, 2008 Author Report Posted March 2, 2008 yeah they are both resonable condition and run well both have 4k's one is 4speed manual and the red one is 3 speed auto :wink: i am hoping to get my shed done fairly soon so i can start on stripping the red one down a bit just to see what its like underneath then ill decide on what to do with it. also does anybody know what would be a resonable cam for a 4k with a 32-36 weber i want to get a little more go out of it Thanks Quote
Mighty tas rolla Posted March 2, 2008 Author Report Posted March 2, 2008 i managed to find a couple more pics of the interior's of the two the neater complete one is the yellow car and the one with the degreser can is the red one also does anyone have any suggestions on making my car sound a bit better not massivly loud so that it sounds like a tank rolling through town just somthing to make it sound like its got a bit of a note Cheers Quote

cuzzo Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 The yellow one looks like a great base. The red one look pretty good too. Try a slightly larger exhaust and extractors and not a massive muffler. Quote
Mighty tas rolla Posted March 3, 2008 Author Report Posted March 3, 2008 yeah i have got a set of extractors I'm just trying to work out the rest of the exhaust is there any common muffler for these cars??? Quote
Palmy Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 hey mate nice pick up. I'm in a similar situation with exhausts. I'm thinking extractors with either a 1.75" or 2" exhaust, a muffler and nice 3" tip for a cool note. but hey, thats jus me lol. good luck with ur plans :wink: Quote
KE70-from-mt-panorama Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 In my opinion, Hotdog mufflers are sweet...But rather LOUD!!! Nice 55's too. Some potential there Quote
flat out Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 looks good bro, your Marcus right? just forgot and wasn't real sure :wink: Quote
Mighty tas rolla Posted April 12, 2008 Author Report Posted April 12, 2008 update: finally got a free weekend to work on my rolla's :) :lolcry: :P pulled the covers of them today and gave them a wash, and cleaned out the interior's tomorow i am hopeing to clean up the engine bay and at least fit the extractors and exhaust. if i get time i might start cleaning the old paint off a set of wheels i got for nothing they are 14inch and are off a sigma turbo.. i think the word globe's was mentioned anyway ill get pic's up tomorow Quote
78_7kRolla Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 Nice finds mate! The yellow one seems to be a good base for a project car! Good to hear you have started cleaning them up. In my opinion get the red 1 ready for daily duties and have the yellow beastie on the side as a project :) Cheers Matt. Quote
