NickZ Posted July 8, 2007 Report Posted July 8, 2007 I'm guessin ya used the radiator outa the commo. Did u just buy a slim thermo fan for it? I used the Commo radiator and the thermo fan is fitted to the front of it. I think its a 15" Quote
ROLLLA Posted July 8, 2007 Author Report Posted July 8, 2007 ah ok sweet, wasnt sure if that thermo would fit. I might just leave my 55 diff in for now cos don't have the cash to get a better one shortened. I was thinking R31 shortened diff so i can use the same rims. Also a fairlane na lsd fits in. Quote
ROLLLA Posted July 8, 2007 Author Report Posted July 8, 2007 :yes: Poor corolla...... haha rolla boy, its just that i don't have the cash to put some awesome engine in at the moment and i need power. I'm going crazyyyy lol. eventually ill put the sr20det in but for now this will do Quote
Rolla__Boy Posted July 8, 2007 Report Posted July 8, 2007 It shall be butchered!!!! Just get a 5K and a SC or a turbo....plenty fast enough til you get SR20....I have a fast 5K for sale, come get it :yes: Quote
ROLLLA Posted July 8, 2007 Author Report Posted July 8, 2007 LMAO i knew you were gonna suggest that. Sorry dude $600 is outa my price range. I paid $150 for the whole vp :yes: Quote

ke30 driver Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 how much for the paint job and how much have you spent on the car? Quote
ROLLLA Posted September 23, 2007 Author Report Posted September 23, 2007 (edited) all up ive spent $2500 thats everything, from the purchase of the shell, to rego, paint (approx $700) rims tyres the lot. So ye its definately a budget car project but I'm saving money because 90% of the work is done myself Edited September 23, 2007 by ROLLLA Quote
ROLLLA Posted September 23, 2007 Author Report Posted September 23, 2007 (edited) Ok ive finally got off my ass to start stripping the VP. Ripped the dash out to locate the loom and commenced stripping away useless wiring that i don't need. Making sure the car starts each time wires are cut to make the job easier for the install into the rolla. Heres just a few pix of the process to show ya just how messy it can be.

leigh Posted September 23, 2007 Report Posted September 23, 2007 WOOO Look at all the pretty wires!! :P lol Quote
ROLLLA Posted September 25, 2007 Author Report Posted September 25, 2007 Ok today i finished stripping the loom. I Passed it all through the firewall with the fusebox as well. Ran it back in the car and it still starts which was the plan. So now the engines ready to come out with the stripped loom attatched so this will make life alot easier for when it comes to wiring it in the corolla. Basically i just have to rewire it to my ignition barrel and away it goes. One other thing though, a few of you guys were saying that i can just put a manual speedo cable in the tranny. Does the corolla one fit. If not which car does it come out of? Quote
