Its a sweet daily so far, uses next to no fuel, carries 4x rims easily and most people see the humour in it :jdmsmile:

[corknose]

get some phat wheels and dump it n just daily it would love this

[ROLL3R]

Do you just pick it up and carry it home when you run out of fuel? This thing is awsome, i love tiny cars, theres just something intriguing in them. you should bolt some 13x7's on it, what pcd do these have?

[Sherlock]

Ahahaha the jacks in the engine bay! Love it.

[corknose]

HAHA! if they are 100 pcd i saw some mk3 13x8 -10 on yaj for cheap lol

[svenmate]

sportmax wheels are pretty good value for what they are. Get the 0 offset 15x8s and work on those arches!

[ROLL3R]

Its funny it has a bus steering wheel on it, i doubt you'd need it to steer those 145 tyres.

[benzo]

pcd is 4x100 so I thought I might be able to fit some 13x5.5 jellybeans from a Gemini, but the studs are only 10mm long which is pretty queer

for now will just be slammed on flouro pink steelies with a lot of rear camber lol

might look into converting hubs to 4x114.3 so I can run some 13x6 jap rims

aim for this is really just minimum moneys, lots of driving and maximum lols

oh and the steering wheel is actually sort of small, just looks big because of how small the interior is

[R&D Mechanical]

ah wtf is with the offset


haha had to say it, yeah charls has your car now hey, i bet hes a drifter

[ae86]

dash cluster is all cute n shit

[DAN-86]

sorry to say but gemini are 4x100

But this car is so awesome, and cute :P

[ROLL3R]

its the ke1* to ke2* variety or corollas and some early mazdas that had the 4x110, i have a 13x7 hotwire with a 4x110 stud pattern left over from when i sold the 4 rims (forgot i had a spare) You can have it if you want....???

[benzo]

haha chyea Charlie swapped, I don't think I miss the wagon. 12x4s ftw, rears are actually pretty flush but will be sunken as once lowered. meh

Do you know Charlie Davey? If so tell him he done the wheel nuts up wayyy to tight! lol

ah shit yeah, pcd is definitely 4x100 on this, same as AE82/Gemini etc etc. Don't know why I said 4x100

roll3r, 4x110 was a misprint. I have some wheels from previous KE20 otherwise

this arvo I fit 5x 195/50R15 tyres on 15x8 wheels behind the seats. Still had half the boot left :DD

p.s Elliot and Eddy are jealous of my wheels :)

[shift_rook]

mmmmmmmm, do want

[DAN-86]

I has some 13x7 superlites in 4x100. black center and polish lip with about 2" dish :D

[NickZ]

Yay Join the club, I got one of them too, Bloody great on fuel not that ive driven mine for awhile (been out of rego for the last 9 years), But starts perfectly every time i start it (with a donor battery). I have it in storage for when fuel becomes $2+ a liter LOL

[R&D Mechanical]

yeah i know him lol, nice dude, this is a cute car, would be a good daily me thinks, tryed rooting in it yet?

[lovemy86]

tryed rooting in it yet?

this would make for an interesting experiment!
that pimp as, love it!

[benzo]

dan-86, those superlights sound cool haha but studs are only 10mm long so won't fit any rims. Might look into converting hubs to 114.3. might..

Davey, yeah Charlie seemed a good dude, funny character lol. reckons he wants to put a ca18 in my old wagon. No I haven't had any sexy sex in it. Yet. Would be interesting haha.

pimp is a good description of this (build)

off to qld tomorrow morning at 5am.

Progress pics when I return

[ROLL3R]

Benzo i'll suss out some longer studs for you tomorrow from NICE products and let you know whats available.

[ROLL3R]

For longer studs you can use NS4290 made by NICE PRODUCTS they retail for $10.49 each

[DAN-86]

then you can put on some superlites :D

[benzo]

For longer studs you can use NS4290 made by NICE PRODUCTS they retail for $10.49 each

Where can I buy these?

test fitted some 13x5 steelies this arvo, but they look :steamer:

13x7J +5 MK1's sit about 2.5" outside the guards haha

some form of 13s will be a nice upgrade lol

[Touge Boy]

Shit's Ill.

I love it. ;)

[benzo]

Haha

wheels are now black

sussing out some 13x5.5 +38 aftermarket VW Mk1 rims this week, should be an offset king. yew

Also this shit heap does mad key bangers. old ladies, they love it

[MINIHORSE]

hmmm this things epic

[R&D Mechanical]

pics with wheels on!

[benzo]

what wheels? 13" steelies or the VW rims?

will get pics with 5.5J VW rims when I pick them up. Then I just need some really small tyres. thinking 155/60 lol

[R&D Mechanical]

of the mk1s :P

[benzo]

haha will try and get a pic. was pretty ridiculous.

being 4x114.3 they don't actually sit on the car, just held them against the hub

[ROLL3R]

The longer studs can be bought through Repco or probably bursons aswell.

[slidwayz]

yeah i know him lol, nice dude, this is a cute car, would be a good daily me thinks, tryed rooting in it yet?

cheers davey ily too.

ive rooted in back fo it just quietly.

this car is sick wish i had it still. rolla was good till regencey bit me hard.

i tried fitting 14x6 steelies on this car with fitment king nisskid from ns.com they fit guard wise but the fail at inner clearence so youll need epic spacers or sumthing. i saw a pic of one of these with barina lca's 6degrees neg camber(Y)

[benzo]

I have 13x5.5 +38 which would be flush as fuck with 155/60 and lowered 3.5 inches with Lancer springs

Plans were made, would've been rad, but I just have better things to spend money/time on atm so this has to go
