Re: To anyone selling anything

I have always felt the buying/selling thing is first come first serve, I don't think many of us have the time to risk someone telling you to hold onto an item and then having the transaction fall through. Don't get me wrong, of course I would want to help out a fellow rolla owner, but if I needs the...

Re: To do or not to do hood vent...

Drop vents look more subtle. Is that a custom RCA lower ball joint? The RCA's are custom made by Barry at MRP in NZ, he makes some good stuff for the ae92. I had him custom make mine to extend my control arm 25mm more so I could do do some stuff to tweak my steering geometry. Today I spent a couple...

To do or not to do hood vent...

So as for these types of hood scoops I've always liked the styling of them. I've also always wanted to put one on my car, but reading different things about how the fiberglass ones crack its always held me back on doing it. Lately I made a splitter for the car and am actually leaning towards somethi...

Re: ae86 or ae92

Dude, get yourself a MK3 supra, there are a bunch of those for 3K,and it's still a Toyota, plus it's rwd 8-) If your going to get a car in that weight class you minus will get an sc300, way better suspension design and looks better imo.

Re: Quick disconnect for coolant hoses?! Would it work?

i think i would worry more about a leak then flow. its a troubling thought that comes to you when you see a cloud of coolant mist everywhere behind you at the track. and thats if you notice, most the times you only will notice after your temp gauge plunges into the red or your car stops running.
