Jono.C Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Posted June 5, 2011 (edited) I've been toying with the idea of using a 4wd diff lock for a fair while, just gotta do some research and see what i could make fit. Would be wicked on the street, Open diff when you don't want to drift, Spin 2 when you want too ;) Edited June 5, 2011 by Jono.C Quote
abbott Posted June 5, 2011 Report Posted June 5, 2011 Do those 4wd wagon corollas have a diff lock? Like the tercel style wagons? Quote
Jono.C Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Posted June 5, 2011 I'm not too sure, might do.. A guy i went to college with has a ae95 and that had a diff lock.. hmm ;) Quote
Jono.C Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) Got stuck into the body on the ke10. Guard is 99% done :D (after 60~ hours) From: To: I'm happy with it. Currently sprayed with high-fill primer. Also, New wheels for the ke10, 13x8 widened steelies, 5" dish ;) (will be stripped an sprayed) Edited June 6, 2011 by Jono.C Quote
jimi91 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 Looks like ur doing great progress mate :cool: Keep it up see ya jimi Quote
Jordain Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 Looks good, No idea how you spend 60+ hours on one guard though. Wheels are good, Why don't you have a look at Diamond racing rims... " 14 x 8" $82.75 " per rim. Cheap as custom made rims any size any stud pattern! Diamond Racing Rims Yo! I'm going to get a set for mine! More pictures Jono!!! Quote
Jono.C Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Posted June 6, 2011 Yeah i've seen the diamond wheels Anything over 13" looks wrong imo. The guard took a long time because i did it without filler, shrinking of metal, hammer and dolly, fibreglassing the holes and welding up the rust + primering constantly eats up time. Quote
Jono.C Posted June 7, 2011 Author Report Posted June 7, 2011 Ke17 grill turned up today, (cheers tally) Straighten and paint and it's lush. :) Getting paint mixed up tomorrow, Guard should be sprayed by thursday. Got a sticker made up today "Rust is lighter than carbon fibre" hahah. Quote
Jono.C Posted June 10, 2011 Author Report Posted June 10, 2011 Thought long and hard about this car, Engine wise, and i've decided 4age just isn't what i'm after. It's a great motor i won't deny it but not what i'm after anymore. With any luck new motor will be picked up sunday. Jono Quote
Jono.C Posted June 10, 2011 Author Report Posted June 10, 2011 5kc. Never had one and want to see what the hype is about. Thinking a nice low mount turbo or a pair of twin sidedraughts wouldn't go astray. I thought about the car, and everything it'll have done to it, and a modern twinky motor will just look out of place. Quote
Tally Posted June 10, 2011 Report Posted June 10, 2011 wow grill looks a lot straighter! Good work man! Quote
67Rolla-Ken Posted June 10, 2011 Report Posted June 10, 2011 Completely agree, it totally ruins the look IMO. Go a big snail, haven't seen many 5K's turboed. Quote
Jono.C Posted June 11, 2011 Author Report Posted June 11, 2011 Cheers for the grill Tally :) Yeah i'm thinking, If i put in the 5k, run a nice low turbo and hide it below the intake manifold then it'll be hard to tell it's not stock. My general theme for the car is to be different, but with the paint and panel rather different from the normal i was thinking it doesn't matter so much engine wise. But i like the idea of Lapping the local track or doing a traffic light blast, lifting and lifting the bonnet to a stock looking motor :) Quote
jimi91 Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 yeah 5k all the way :lolcry: I might have got my hands on one :dance: but i will be doing a rebuild and webbers on mine :wink: Hoping to get some power and sound out of mine :cool: Keep up the good work :happy: see ya jimi Quote
