Well, the site works fine from my home PC. No idea what the work one is on about!?!?!

Glad I can now see the site, cos thats a very tidy motor

I see from your links section you know Dawsey. That 'rolla is absolutley insane!!! He made me go deaf in my left ear just from revving it (and turning the boost up at the same time). Back fires setting off car alarms etc.

I don't know you go to a new forum to get some new ideas and you meet peeps you alreay know.
Hi Nick, Hi Kim. Thanks for the comments.
Turbo - yes I know Lee Dawes - he's been a great help to me sorting out niggling little problems - a man of deep knowledge and as Kim said the "new" rolla will be something else.

Crikey, that's a spec list and a half! May I ask how much have you spent on it?

"Much too much" multiplied by a "fair bit" = OH MY GOD

That was the inspiration for the way my Rolla is now. At that time there were already two AE111 Rollas with 3S-GTEs in them (three now) and I wanted something different - plus I didn't want to spend that amount of cash (if only I knew then what I know now!!!) Although there are now three AE111s with 4A-GZEs (and all are slightly different) mine was the first One of the 3S-GTE Rollas was done by Kevin Clarkson in Droitwich and he was the guy who did the engine transplant for me (and has maintained the car since). He reckons that it took him 2000 man hours to do that conversion and it wasn't something he wanted to do again. I believe he sold it to someone in Ireland.
