hey man do you think you could have a quick look under ya hood and see what colour the wire is that goes to the oil pressure switch? and tell me roughly where it is in the loom. trying to track my one donw and just cant find the little cunt haha. also you wouldn't have a spare water temp sensor lying round?

would look good on a rat rod type rotorona! needs to be a bit classier than this for mine

haha my lancer! trust me, my ex is no gem! yeah bolt ons look a little av but would be only if i flip the centers and have massive dish and stickoutness. although done right i think it would be pretty dam sweet lookin

Rosco auto dismantlers in ashburton. They dont usually have much old stuff like that, mostly mid to late 90s and up. But a few gems pop up sometimes. Ive had a few good scores there in the past! My ex is a prime example!

yeah ill clean em up n see what i think, they may end up on my mitsi even. Also had thoughts of putting some 13" steels painted black with some chrome rings on

fuck yes!

these fullas

Iv got a Mallory pump and a Holley reg with a gauge on it n shit. I just thought you would still need some sort of return in the system somewhere?

The carb on the rotary has a return line there but some people just block it off, i would have thought that would flood it/ run rich constantly tho? i pulled the return line out of my ex i'm wrecking and half jammed it in there. looks like it will work but i will have to make a new hole in the tank which i don't really wanna do. not sure what i'll do yet. need to do some more research i think. nah no fuel flap sorry man, got no spare parts for it at all unfortunately. haha yeah i've already thought about making up a rotorona badge, just dont want it to end up looking all budgo n poos. how do ya think these will look on the corona? with black centers! found them today. massive bargin!

had a mad weekend in the garage with my new toy making heaps o progress first i tackled the accelerator problem, luckily i have an ex lancer im wrecking at the moment so i robbed the pedal and cable out of that. the pedal bolted straight in! looks like its ment to be there the old hole in the fire wall didn't line up tho so i made another, was too big anyway. luckily i got the carb end just right cos there is only about 5mm of adjustment in it had to make this bit smaller to fit as you can see clutch was easy just had to get a wee pipe made up, didn't cost anything which was a bonus. too short! nearly used a bit of brake line off the ex but that was gunna look poos the old lid for the reservoir was pretty fucked so i found this on a much newer toyota at the wreckers ran the heater hoses and used these cool shiny things i found out back of my work, rekin they look the part! these hoses are NOT very flexible however and were a dam cunt to get on into the heater core also while i was fucking round i tried the plastics from the lancer in the boot and what do ya know they fit and look halfway decent thats also the rubber from the lancer too. its in much better state than the old shit. also installed an alarm! A big hairy dog alarm

Hey fliboi does your corona have a fuel return line under the car to the tank? Was just looking at plumbing up the fuel pump etc on mine and noticed there's no return line?

Yeah I'm pretty keen to ditch those wheels in favor of some older style coolness and put those lensos on my lancer since 17s look sweet on EXs

Corolla is no more got this in its place.... //oldschool.co.nz/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=31155

talk here

questions, comments, abuse, envy? put it HERE so pretty much brought my dream car the other day! just had to part with a chunk of cash i didn't really have haha a good mate of mine had been building this up for the past year or so and i guess he kinda lost interest in it / wants a new project and decided he wanted to part with it. And about 6 months ago when i was wiring various thing up n tidying up the wiring for him i told him if he was ever to sell it i'd buy it. well that time came and even tho i dont have much spare cash it was an offer i couldn't pass up! so the dx had to go to make room and thankfully he did a swaparoo with it with some cash obviously. now i don't usually like the idea of buying someone elses project as i like to do all the work on stuff myself and make it my own, but in this case this is very much how i would have done things anyway (with the exception of a few very minor details) It still needs a few things to finish it off but all the hard shit has been done already like; all rust removed repainted (black with dark red pearl) rebuilt 12a bridgeport engine mounts gearbox mounts heaps of stuff gussyed up, brakes, lights, trim etc things left to get it ready for driving; big ol cut n polish fuel lines clutch hydro line from master to slave mount and plumb up fuel pump and reg figure something out for the accelerator pedal and/or cable make exhaust paint boot and bonnet heater hoses get it tuned once its going few other bits n pieces i can't think of right now and cert! anyway enough blah blah blah heres a bunch of pics! best room in the house! fiberglass skin on boot lid, can sorta see the pearl in the paint. its much impressive in the sun im very impressed with the state of this interior, for a 40 year old car its immaculate thought this was very cool has all the stubs in it for all the scheduled services it had in the early 70s thats it for now. hopefully will be updates regularly as i'm get shit done. don't know if its going to be this or the mitsi on the road first. at the moment its this all the way!

need to see photos of the ex man!

where did ya find that water thingy man! i want one!

HEY where did my DX go!?...... new build thread coming soon..................................... . . .

oh yeah sweet man. yeah it did! i'll come grab the glove box lid off ya tomorrow if ya not busy

bye bye DX hello new EX! picked this up today, if anyone needs any parts hit me up! seriously thinking of putting these seats in my good EX! never seen anything like them! think this is awesome, its has a dedicatad METAL button haha

Mint, you luck bastard! I don't really have room for more cars anyway haha picking another ex up this w.e and and getting an old corona next week lol

Hey that turbo ex better not be the one ya told me about man lol what did ya pay for it? Pics!

oh well that sorts that out then doesn't it. cheers man! So any oil filter housing off a 7 bolt engine will fit other 7 bolt engines then?

I'm thinking that evo7 one on trademe there might be a winner actually. I think I know where I can get my hands on a station one to try on there in the mean time then In theory I'll know what will work and what won't

wow you really know your shit man. yeah i meant 4g54 ha. still unsure where the difference lies tho, surely someones struck this before somewhere...
