Big Bad Orange

[rhys2229]

I've had this a few months now and thought i'd put up a thread, i've got a 1982 orange (paint code big bad orange :P) ke70 flat front it was pretty much stock when i got it, it now has

used to have stock cut springs then 86 struts with 230mm king springs and shorten shocks then k-sport coilovers (not 100% sure on spring rate but i'm guessing 6kg)
rear king ultra low falcon springs with one coil cut off and boge shortened shocks
4k with weber 32/36, 4-1 wildcat extractors, 2 inch exhaust one resi and one dumpy
soon to be 5 speed with excedy hd clutch and lightened flywheel
momo steering wheel pedals and shifter
no name bucket seat
assortment of different wheels trx mesh, enkei cross fever, globe bathurts, csx alloys

i'd like to eventually do a 4agte conversion, in the mean time i need to touch up the paint and i'll get the head shaved and ported and polished and a cam grind.

[shift_rook]

that looks schmicko man, cleaned it up well! i personally wouldn't bother working the 4k much more, just save for the 4age

[DOG the rolla hunter]

go the trx wheels. they look the bomb painted black. tempting to do this to mine.

[pen15]

haven't seen this around much i know the car you should come sliding

[rhys2229]

cheers guys, yeh my mates got a ae82 with 4agte with 202kw at the wheels soooo tempted to do that to mine, i've stopped spending money on the 4k now, i did like the trx rims but wished they had a bit of dish, there pretty heavy but like twice the weight of the stock xx alloys, hey pen15 i might come next pizza night if thats cool? maybe watch though i've been caught a few times now for sliding but luckly somehow havnt had to pay any fines except for having a bucket seat not engineered haha

[70rolla]

[rhys2229]

got some more wheels from "1988 whitey" that will be going on, delta mesh rims gold centre, no sure of offset but i'm guessing +15, pics tomorow,

[Jacobxxx]

4k with coilovers, locker and HD clutch is so thug! haha

[rhys2229]

4k with coilovers, locker and HD clutch is so thug! haha

It only makes people even more aware that you are a P plater, so the cops should be encouraging it XD

[keimeier]

[rhys2229]

apparently its a distraction according to cops but havnt been pulled over for it yet, they'd have to be in a bad mood to fine you,
