what should my first mod be?

[skoty]

i decided to keep my rolla (was thinking of selling) cos its just got way too much potential for me to just get rid of it.

I got one for ya be humane and take it to the dump.
What kinda engine in it anyway. it small carbie piece of crap.
must b a sewing machine or sumthing.
peace out

Dude: If you don't have anything decent to say, dont say at all After all the KE series rollas are classic and unique Toyotas with potential n' class

[ELOK]

dam strait skoty! this kid obviously doesnt know jack shit about cars let alone toyotas.

[gtRFungi]

no it shouldnt

[ELOK]

what shouldnt what?

[Silvertop]

paint it but wait til u do the engine then u can paint it all at once

why do i want to paint my engine?

He isn't talking about the engine, more the engine bay itself - so you avoid having a red/green/grey (or whatever) coloured body with a yellow engine bay.

[ELOK]

oh yea i get ya, naa ill take the engine out then the car gets painted and then chuck it back in afterwards. well i wont, but a mechanic friend of the old man's will do it for free. so thats sorted lol

[Snoozin]

Dump it! Low as a can go... theres something about old cars that look standard, and are just dumped... I like that look for reasons unknown.

Still.... lowering, mags and tyres, engine work and a respray for around $700!!!!

Man I want those hookups... panel and paint on my car was $1200 alone and that was mates rates

Rims and tyres were $1200 at near COST

Engine was $750 and that was with Alfa club discount

Suspension was $750 for lowered springs and adjustable shocks all round.... don't think it comes much cheaper than that!

[ELOK]

it wil probably be closer to 1000$ but i wasnt including the engine work in that 700 esimate, i have no desirew to soup up my engine any time soon, just a louder exhaust will do me fine.

hehe aahhhh that brings me back to my days of the starlet with its exhaust, man it was loud for a little car...(didnt help that the pipe from the muffler curved down towards the ground and made it sound louder than it really was).

For the real K series engine experience, get a lumpy cam put in it. yeah its a bitch in a carbed car to keep the idle right all the time, but hte amount of people u get thinking on what kind of engine u have under ur hood is something i wouldnt mind experiencing again. K series engines with a cam in em sound very very grumpy ( used to get shitloads of ppl ask me if i had a rotor in mine, till i lifted the hood and disapointed them with my 4k of "fury" )

[ELOK]

yea lol my "3k of fury" all 1200 cc's of her.

ive been wondering what the best thing to do would be, like just a new exhaust with a big tip and i muffler that is loud. is that how it works?

whats the best thing to do to get it sounding louder and gruntier, i dont want it to go faster, just sound as sexy as it looks.

[Huffer]

Axle back exhaust fitment usually does it for most cars...until you get into big horsies and stuff... actually, no idea what a KE30 sounds like...

chuck a rota in it au

[blackie]

go gunmetal man its the sh*t, both my current cars are that colour heheh.
altho i guess it is kinda boring in comparison to those other suggestions of yours.

on another note, i just picked up my 2nd riverhack, an 83 Starlet, originally had a k but now has a 4k
classic motor man, good runner its actually reasonably quick.

my mate was drivin it and i was driving his 4age levin, in the wet, we had a race off the lights i couldnt get traction for shit the starlet carved me up it was funny as. love seeing it launch

[pplmvr]

Na man, the first thing you MUST do is get the mighty TRD and Toms tickers, this general scared the shit out of those who trying to drag you. This works everytime... speaking from experience..

[cheese]

let it go to car heaven and move on.
putting new wheels on it aint gunna make it look nice

[soopachargen]

ELOK mate, i dont want to shit on your parade, but those ke30s are a pretty ugly car,. if you can get it looking sweet i'll eay my words but i prefer the ke20. since u dont have a 20 i'd suggest u get some wheels under it so that it goes round corners good, then when u get around to painting it that lime green should look pretty hot.
good luck with the car mate
