HEKTIC Posted September 13, 2006 Report Posted September 13, 2006 your car needs to be able to stop and turn before it can go Quote
casey Posted September 13, 2006 Report Posted September 13, 2006 man your my idol, i love your car, what exhaust set up you running? mine was a granny spec just like yours, will you be my friend/ 55 buddy? Quote
JiP Posted September 13, 2006 Report Posted September 13, 2006 Grr, DAM Photobucket doing maintenance now!!! Pics aren't working. :D Quote
olskool Posted September 13, 2006 Author Report Posted September 13, 2006 (edited) Yeh man I will b your friend. thanks for the comments. Hey are the pics still workn o your end cause one of the guys said they arent. I will get some pics up of my interior soon too. what about you, you got any pics I can see. The exhaust however you may not be super surprised with. I did it at home, I just cut out the muffler, welded in a flange and then replaced it with a hotdog and put that tip on. I wasn't intending on doing anything yet but I will when I get the conversion done. It sounds bloody awesome though. I will be keeping that tip and everything though when I do the proper exhaust.

JiP Posted September 13, 2006 Report Posted September 13, 2006 Okay, well now they're working and WoW, those wheels are megga HOT!!!! I want. Quote
olskool Posted September 13, 2006 Author Report Posted September 13, 2006 Thats good. Yeah the wheels are really wide too. I think they are 6 or 6and a half inch wide on the front and 7 inch wide on the rear. The fronts are wearing 195/50 and rear are 205/50. They are dragway rims by the way. Quote
olskool Posted September 13, 2006 Author Report Posted September 13, 2006 Yep thats the ones. They are pretty deep dish on the rear too which is cool. I just got new Falken front tyres and the car handles like crazy now. It is really fun to drive especially down macquarie pass. :) :D Quote
beerhead Posted September 15, 2006 Report Posted September 15, 2006 Geez those wheels are the bomb, nice choice. What 4A motor's going in? BTW, RA60 struts won't let you make the easy 4 pot upgrade with the hilux / peug connection, corona's have the same hole spacing on the braket. I recently got a pair of twin pot corona fronts for my KE55, I'm sure they'll do the job for a while. Quote
HEKTIC Posted September 15, 2006 Report Posted September 15, 2006 the mags on this thing awesome :D Quote
olskool Posted September 17, 2006 Author Report Posted September 17, 2006 I have front struts from my brothers car. It is a bit harder to do but if they arent taller than the corolla struts then I will definitely be using them. It is different but they are Skyline front struts. They have vented discs standard and aftermarket parts will be easy to get. May be hard but 100% worth it. Quote
ancullen Posted September 17, 2006 Report Posted September 17, 2006 First time I've looked in this thread. Your car looks great. Nice and low, and the wheels look good too (I don't normally like four spokes, but they seem to suit it). Should be great with the 4A-GE. ;) Quote
OKE055 Posted September 17, 2006 Report Posted September 17, 2006 i like.... very neat, really love the dragways never head of using skyline struts and brakes, but if it works.... hell yeah..... i run a skyline diff and disk brake rear end on my 55 so it could all match if you wanted a diff upgrade. the problem i found with RA60 struts is that because they are taller the camber on the front wheels changes and i needed to modify the lower arms but it was well worth it.. it brakes so well.

olskool Posted September 17, 2006 Author Report Posted September 17, 2006 I will keep you all updated on how the strut conversion goes, you had to shorten the diff didnt you and how did that fit the diff in still using the leaf springs. easy or what. I was thinkin of using a t-18 diff but skyline limo sounds awesome Quote
ancullen Posted September 17, 2006 Report Posted September 17, 2006 Skyline diff? DO EET OLSKOOL!!! That'd be sweet! Quote
