Hey Scott do you know who built the first fully legal roatry powered corolla in NSW?.
It was a Ke-36 panelvan with initially a 12a extend port and celica 5 speed and celica trd 3.7 clutched diff, 12.5″ fully floating brakes on the front, a roll centre of 20 cm, weight bias of 55/45, handled like a sports sedan, full chassis XU1 springs over TRD struts, had over $40K spent on it by the late 80s’, over 60k by the time it was let go. Had a consulting engineer all the way through the build.
And within two years cause it paved the way with the RTA there were at least 5 more done all featured in glossy mags as groundbreaking.

It finished at 1150 Kgs, 13B TO4, 350+ RWHP, top speed of 240+, 1/4 mile was a disappointment cause it was set up for roundy roundies

Cause that’s where my first house went……:unsure:

Holy crap!!!

mine was just a 12a bridgeport s5 Rx7 5 speed, hilux diff, s3 Rx3 dics with Vt commodore calipers, reset leaf springs and cut coils in the front lol.

My exact thought and expression after I tried one of those rear retreads :laugh:

TB

Can you guys just put on the boxing gloves get in the ring and sort this problem out????

[DeanMember]

Yeh Dont worry to much Fester:laugh: TB and I have a agree to disagree relationship and well I dont like Polka dot riding jersey’s:laugh: (or Honda’s)

I do admire the effort and skill put into air bagging a car but maybe its my conservative side coming out and asking why:dry: waste of a good ute in my opinion

STM and I are going for a ride this Saturday arvo. Where is Ginger Creek???

[shaneMember]

I like boys that wear flat brimmed caps and REALLY big sunnies too! TB’d recognise that silver on red jobbie in the last photos, having ridden past it a couple of times

That thing brings a smile on my face everytime I go past it.

I think mini-trucks are silly

[dennis da menaceMember]

yeah, come on ollie, we will need something to start the fire with:P :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[Scott TyszkiewiczMember]

to be honest i couldnt care less if people dont like it. I build my cars to impress one person and thats me,
We do a few minitruck shows a year and there all for charity and we raise thousands of dollars each show and that makes me proud.
so thanks to the people that like it and if you dont like it who cares?? you dont have to drive it.

Scotty, if thats your thing go for it mate, like I said I admire the effort and skill that is required to bring out a quality product, I wouldnt do it myself,but if my thats what my son wanted to do I would help in any way I could. Your first paragraph answered my question why;)

TB and Menace: We have a famous fire starter in Moto dont want to take his job away:laugh:
and no I wont be supplying free tyres they are nearly half the cost of those other over rated tyrers already.

TISCO – nice looking ride mate.

Me being somewhat not up on the whole mini truck thing, do you/can you actually drive them when they are lowered all the way down? I am not being a critic just curious.

[dennis da menaceMember]

hey TISCO, what is TISCO??????????

[Bruce CurtisMember]

I still don’t like the way this thread is heading or where it’s been, still like the ute tisco, mines exactly the Oppo, ’01 Rodeo 2wd on 4wd chassis,chrome everything outside, big chunky 75 series on wide U.S. eagle rims, raised a bit at the rear, chipped and exhausted, setup long distance driving. Me best mate has a ’52 Dodge ute (Looks like Mater) with everything ready to go, running gear out of the latest GT, hiace front end,Drop axles, absolutely everything down to the interior, he’s just gotta get the time to restore and bolt it up………..Like i said I love a custom anything.
