    1990 corolla seca fix up. 4age 20v

    1990 corolla seca fix up. 4age 20v

    Picked the roller up from my mate today. Still gotta put it back together but the paints on there now. Should have the bumpers back in a week. Tempted to put the wheels on it,but theyd have to be taken off for the pits. See how impatient i get. haha Thanks for looking.

    Dream ute

    I dont think the stock box will like 550hp much. Depending on what combo you get you' need a torque converter (if its an auto) to make the most of where the power is. The 6 speed manuals are a tough box and with a decent clutch,should handle it. The other thing with the auto (if it is) is the...

    Looks like we should be seeing colour soon. We ordered the maranello red and tweaked it slightly. Should set the rims off nice. Going in tomorrow to do some prep on the girl. Hopefully some update shots soon. Cheers.

    Just for the record that rim is in my bedroom on the dresser. hahahaha missus wasnt happy but whatever... Cannot stop looking at that paint. That vt tungsten colour is amazing.

    1990 corolla seca fix up. 4age 20v

    Long time between updates. looks like the whole cars getting a lick of paint from a good friend of mine. I rubbed the wheels back and chose the h114 tungsten from the vt for the colour. I sprayed a few parts for my mate in that colour and loved it. Slowly progressing as money allows. The rims...

Long story short,ive been broke and having to sell things to...

    Drift SS Ute

    Diggin the lsjdm plates too. haha. And the jdm sun under the bonnet. Sucks doing wheel alignments in the drive with a measuring tape and sockets. haha. Been there. Not good without a place to test it. Any videos of the best in action?

    Drift SS Ute

    I wish i had another ute to play with. The pumped out guards with the jdm wheels and stretched tires, and the colour of the rims and the green. Would make an awesome streeter. Must be fun taking the holden ute on the track with all the jap cars ;)

    VU SS Fifty

    Ute's looking tough. The slimy **** is very annoying. When i got my old clubby from a toyota dealership the detailers wiped off a Mark Skaife signature from the dash. That was annoying. Probably some young foreign fella just thought one of us bogan aussies wanted to write our name on the cars...

    Weird overheating - VX Commodore

    More than likely the plastic radiator tank has cracked under the hose,usually where the brackets are, to mount the fan. Before any more damage is done, id be flushing the stop leak **** out if it isnt too late and overhauling the system. Radiators for these are cheap. All of the stop leak...

    This is the only new thing ive ever had. Kawasaki Vulcan S 650 Always wanted a bike but only got the license this year. When i get my open license i think i'll end up buying a bonnie. And a couple of bikes i built/painted. Having a stuffed back limits how much i can ride but i love...

    Share your health battles

    Unhappy back,liver, and all my joints. l4/5 disk is destroyed virtually and i have nerve problems. I'm breathing and can walk, so not much to complain about really. After i got shot in the chest with a stun gun when i was a bit younger my heart does what it it wants sometimes. Arms go numb for...

    NG commodore first photos without camo. What do.you think?

    Probably isnt a better engine but would be more fun with one of them shoe horned in there. Piss off the front driveshafts and put a decent lsd in the back. Make it more worthy of the commodore badge.

    Socket sets

    As far as socket sets go, or any tools i usually buy the best i can. Ended up buying a toolpro socket set from supercheap. Ive hamered the **** out of it and eveythings fine. Ive litterally had to hammer sockets on sometimes and theyre tough as. Been every bit as good as sid/king chrome gear.

    what did you do to your car today?

    Refirbed headlights,clubby rear bumper, resprayed in factory colours. The headlights got stripped back and recleared in 2k hs clear upol. And tidied up a few bits and pieces. It's my mates car. Cheers.

    NG commodore first photos without camo. What do.you think?

    I even see chevys here with the badge on them and it makes me cringe. And theyre suppose to be on there. I just dont think i could drive that thing and get the commodore "feel" if that makes sense.
  30. elless1

    what did you do to your car today?

    Mates vx berlina, Stripped and restored the headlights,resprayed a clubsport rear bumper for it. fixed the battery tray and wiring to it, and flushed the rad. still gotta get the front end together and then pull the back of it apart to fit the clubby bumper.

    Car Washes

    Advertising aye? ^ If you cant see the damage car washes do your not looking hard enough. May as well clean it with a brillo pad. i am fussy though with paint.

    NG commodore first photos without camo. What do.you think?

    Nice looking car. Shouldnt have a commodore badge on it though.
  33. elless1

    If you had the chance.....

    I would probably hang commodore parts on the time machine and let sit outside to rust, and not tell anybody about it. Then sell it for scrap when i need money. Either that or go to the seventies.

    Puddi's Mazda 6 MPS

    The old clutch looked fine.lol My mate had an mp3, thing was wild and pretty much stock. fwd though, and hatchback. Had to get slicks to get traction. That 6 speed trans is deadly,especially for acceleration. Fast fast little car,are you gonna get her dyno'd and that?

    1990 corolla seca fix up. 4age 20v

    I thought about it. There was a storm vu ute for about 3k with shitty paint and bad brakes. I thought about getting it,doing it up and flogging it, but if it doesnt sell youve got another car sitting around taking up space and costing a bucket load in regos. The rego prices have really killed...
