Whoa, that thing is CLEAN. :shock:

Not a fan of gigantic rims like 17s or 18s(save those for the Honda guys...lol)... I prefer 13s, 14s, and 15s or an occasional 16, depending on the style. lol Although, those bigger rims actually look pretty good on your car.

Lemme find out, Africa has a hidden Japanese car culture lurking in it's midsts. Welcome to JNC. :wink: :tu:

Guys, thanks, and I hear you, only reason I have the pimp wheels on, is because my one TRD wheel was stolen, I need to get another but I am hunting and can't find just 1 here in SA.

I had my rims repaired, and high polished the lip too, but I desperately need another rim.

Your Rolla looks in great condition. I bet its rust free, coming from SA.

Any plans on future engine swaps/ suspension?

Are there alot of old Toyotas in SA?

Thanks Mr Chris, well, was rust free, It is starting to bubble by my rear window, because the place where I live has no Garage.. I have to make a plan soon...

I always wanted a stock one. and this one is

I was thinking of replacing the motor with a 7M-GTE, and adding Jenvey throttle bodies, M75 Differential, and Supra Mk3 gearbox.

Everyone in SA are either running the beams 3S-GTE, 4A-GZE motors...but its too common.

Yes, There are quite a few :)

woooow! your car is so clean and fresh :shock:

great color. i like the finish.

i think a set of smaller rims can improve the stance, but those big ones look awesome in your car.

Hey guy, inbox me your details, My springs were done by Salt River Spring works, its been heated, and compressed, but the coat has run off, just be sure to have them coated properly, otherwise the spring loses tension, like mine is doing now...


If you want to join the BOX BOYS, let me know, we decent bunch of guys who have similar cars...

Inbox me SprinterGLS :)
