Work out the Equip-ment No.1.

Just messing with the title. Anyway, I am back in college, far far away from home, JB. Sigh. Really wanna stay at home and went out with her everyday. Hehehe. But then, life must goes on. So, I just need to bear with it.

While I am on my way back, I took the opportunity to stop by at the Pagoh toll exit to pick up my new rims. It is a pair of Work Equip 01 with 7j and zero offset. Of course it is only 14'. Now Rolla gonna downgrade to 14' and since I am fitting in a pair of adjustable for the rear, I might make it slammed. Really wanna go for the 'offset is everything' and a nice fitment for the fender.

Ready to be polished.

And today, got some free time, did the polishing job. The left one had been polished two times while the right one hasn't.

Really eager to see what happened to Rolla when these two rims are on it. Current offset for the 15' are +38 with 1' spacer and +15. I hope +0 will do some magic.

Photoshopped : Rolla's New Look.

The original photo was shot by Ariff at MAEPS a month ago.

And since I already swapped my Oni for the Riverside, and the engine swap is still not done, and some free time, I decided to play with the Photoshop. The photo donor for the editing are:


Some Forza Motorsport image. Gotta love the Equip 01.

Here's the one I bought. Gonna pick it up tomorrow at Pagoh, Johor. The spec is 14' x 7j with +0 offset.


And the rear rim that I swapped the other day. I thought it was an Advan A3A, but later found out it is a Riverside. Nevertheless the spec is 14' x 8j with +0 offset. In this photo is the original A3A.

And some trimming here and there, this is the results. Not bad eh?

Home Sweet Home.

I am back. Back in KL. Gosh, I miss my room, my speaker, my parents of coz, and I miss KL especially the traffic jam. Gegegegege. So basically I got MC from doctor. Why? Currently suffering a backbone problem. I had been assuming that's the problem until I checked with Doc. Found out that my ligament between my left leg and my back had torn apart..

Thanks to skateboarding and picking up heavy stuffs. So now? I guess no more skateboarding and Doc told me to have a looooooong good rest. No sports, no heavy lifting, and no extreme activity. It is torturing me but I guess I need to bear with it until it is healed again.

In!

Looks like everything had taken their places. Bay had been repainted to black color and the engine had been sitting in its original position and cleaned. Rack and pinion arriving soon. So, just need a new piping set. From extractor till the muffler. My friend said it will be using a 2' piping instead of the original turbo piping which is 2.4'. And I'll be using Din's twin tip exhaust!

On The Floor..

Got an email today from my friend, telling me whats the update on Corolla.

Looks like both engine is on the floor already. Silverturbo had been 'scavenge' to 'complete' its younger brother, the Blacktrumpet. They took back my new alternator, and the timing belt. Also, the gearbox had been fitted into the Blacktrumpet.

 

Plan B : Blacktop.

Was about to get a good deal of 16 valve that came with new timing belt and clutch plate when someone else bought it first. Huargh. Already asked my friend to source another 16valve but most of em came with an expensive price tag. So, we initiated the second plan, which is the 20valve Blacktop.

Rolla on jack-stand again.. This time to swap the engine and also the steering rack.

Its On...

For the second time, I'm doing a 'long distance' conversion. The first one was a total failure. Pay a lot and not so good work. So lets hope this time it wont happen again. Yeah just hoping. Again...

Okay, so Corolla's turn is today. Been queuing for a few days before the workshop can finally focus on her. So, total project should be less than RM5000. That will include a 16v engine, wiring and ECU of course, new extractor maybe, T50 gearbox, an LSD (Not sure whether its 4.1 or 4.3 nor 1.5way or 2way), rack and pinion steering rack, and etc....


Waiting..
