Evan G Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 arent ke30/55 lca longer than the ke70 ones and give like -2 degree of camber? Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Hey blzbub666 hows the white walls going mate? Still Researching the Hilux Shocks, I know its Single Cab 4wd but not to sure if its 4th gen or 5th gen. Front shocks are killing me and I'm not keen for the whole conversion. I'll phone around tomorrow see what I can uncover! I'm going about 110mm - 120mm from the jack up spots( lowest part of the car ). Cheers white walls peeled off, ordered the proper paint today. :bash: Pretty sure you'll be barking up a tree but if you do uncover a short stroke that fits standards you'll make a lot of people on here very happy :y: Quote
Spencer[RL] Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Posted January 20, 2011 Evan G - Yea mate , corona's xt130 do the same but are easier to find tho. blzbub666 - Probally wont find a short stroke but might find a shock that fits and a little bit taller which may help :dance: Quote
Spencer[RL] Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Posted January 23, 2011 So did the rear springs today , went all smooth and really fast then decided it to do the front , HOLY SHIT! I looked at it and relised it wasnt a quick job! From my point of view I have to unbolt the Tie-rod, Tension brace , low control arm , steering arm, top hat , not even sure what I have to do with the brake lines! Anyone got a easier way ? and I'm not cutting the spring while its still on the strut! Cheers Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 Cut it in the strut. Easy. Just cut 4/5 the way through then hit it with a hammer. :yes: I did all 4 of mine like that. Quote
Evan G Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 +1!!! cut a small slit in the brake line holder and bend the bracket so you can remove the line! Quote
Spencer[RL] Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Posted January 24, 2011 haha ok i'll try it...I'm doing 2 coils, as it gets close to through i'll hit with a hammer, then try work it off the strut! 1 Quote
Spencer[RL] Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Posted January 24, 2011 So done the front today was actually easy Tomorrow clean up a couple of things and maybe a lick of paint on Wednesday depending on weather and how much beer I have consumed before 10am :yes: Here's some pics Please excuse here fat ass Cheers Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 It can be a bit tricky, i found the best way was to use an older worn disk thats smaller. Sketchy if the spring gives way and grabs the blade. Eye protection is a must. :o Quote
Spencer[RL] Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Posted January 24, 2011 Hahaha yea had protective glass's on an some welding gloves?? Probally 1 of the most ghetto mods you could do :laff: Quote

Spencer[RL] Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Posted January 25, 2011 Hey guys Was stripping down the car today and wanted to know how I get that chrome trim above the doors off? Cheers Quote
SLW42 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 shouldn't it just slide off or gently lift the bottom edge off with a screwdriver and then work it off, if you don't intend to use them again just rip it off Quote
