Nice build. Seems I am not the only rolla owner that also has a boat.

blue thing looks good with those shoes man

 

Cheers mate, your blue paint tops them though. :y: I needed new tyres anyway, so while I'm there..... ;)

 

The wheels are courtesy of The_Nobbler, they came with Sudi when I bought her from him. They're from a Mazda of some description, which one I have NFI. All I did was clean them, get new tyres put on & fit them. ;)

Invited the parents along to check out the Toyota antics I keep talking about, my Mother's not a huge car person & she said she enjoyed walking around looking at the cars. No clue what they were other than Toyotas, but had fun nonetheless. My Dad was amazed we got that many cars in the middle of Winter, told him to check out our Summer meets. My mate was a Eurotrash fan, I think Winterfest showed him a few things. I say 'was' because after many years of persisting, I think I've finally managed to turn him to The Land of the Rising Sun...I'm hearing talk of a post-taxtime Corolla purchase. :lol:

Thanks man, hate having it on pause but there's more important things to do at the moment. What kind of boat do you have? 'Boat' makes mine sound big, dinghy would be the honest name. :laff:

I have 2 Hobie 14' catamarans. Mine are quite small too.

Here is a link of what I have done to it so far:

I gotta say, I really enjoy the TCCAV Cars, Coffee & Donuts meetups. Not only is it a good chance to grab a hot coffee, free donuts & talk $h1t with fellow enthusiasts, it's also great for picking up parts! :D

 

At the risk of repeating myself, a big thankyou to dpb for supplying me with a new 'air-conditioning condensor'. I've decided to make the AE82 AC system more efficient by driving the compressor off the exhaust system rather than a belt drive, so there'll be nice & chilly air temperatures all-around! :?

 

 

Wait.....what do you mean air-conditioning doesn't use 2 1/2" pipe? ;)

I noticed that kit sitting on the back seat of Blue Thing today.

 

Now it's time you start working on Gokai again. :)

I have, this sure as heck isn't for Blue Thing. :P

 

Yeah, boost bug bit courtesy of being strapped into a mates JZA80. Basic plan is: N/A engine + coilovers + bigger brakes + semi-slicks = have a blast at hillclimbs/trackdays. Add boost = scare expensive cars (& myself). :D

 

Had purchased another secondhand intercooler a while back...long story short it's useless, I got ripped off & it was too large anyway...lessons learned. :yes:

[Subaru_kid]

I thought it was a new heating unit you are making... ;)

[Skellington]

<- (is very interested in a good AC system_

How do you make the AC system work off the exhaust? pics?

[carbonboy]

With one of these:

 

 

And one of these:

 

 

:D

 

**Many apologies for my bad sense of humour, nothing air-conditioning related at all. Intercooler & intake piping for the turbo-engine to go in later down the track. ;)

I hope you realise the your governed to 21psi with that ecu? :)

I do now, cheers! :y: I think that'll do me (read:bank balance) quite nicely though, it's either that or the 1000.

[azza91]

will this be running by mid next year? if so you should take me boosting when I'm down ;)
