I'm a mechanical savage, build fast motor, mash throttle open, did that to the first motor and everyone since, so no i havent experianced the phenomenon, but yes friends have, mostly when they step over from v8s into the hot 4 formerly daily driver/girlfriends car

mate had a roo jump out, land on the bonnet, hopped of into the bushes, mate sitting there in the middle of the road with a busted dissy cap and a stoved in bonnet going " your f*cking joking!"

auto import motor $750, if you can find one, ke 55 5speed box $250 from the wrecker if you can find one, tail shaft yoke of an early ke30 (external uni clips) on your tailshaft, cut a new shifter hole in the floor, everything else the same, good luck with the inj. every one else on here is trying to find that set up

brought a girlfriend a ke 30 to teach her to drive in, she managed to put it into 1st gear at 80 kph, and nothing blew! thats when i thought these little things are ALLRIGHT! been goofing with them on and off for the last 15 years, go off and build other things for a bit but always come back when i want cheap reliable and fun oversized gocart action

shifter mounts further back on the 70 to the 55, the box fits but you need to cut in a new shifter hole, just like the 20 to 30 gear box shifters

depends on the car, if you have a polution canister (round black cyl under bonnet) don't disconect it, if you don't have one at all, don't worry bout it, bingo! emission standards met, a SC 4k is classed as 2.2-2.4 ltr motor for racing (feel free to corect me on this anyone) so the biggest hassle you may have is getting it over rego over powered and under braked

how bout leaving it white with a massive sticker front to rear barbwire or NZ tribal type stuff

its taken nearly a month but i clocked my first roo on the way to work this morning, BA bumper bars bounce back out........... that last line looks like one of those she sells sea shells things, any way, roo nill steve one, and counting

:P I'm out sorry, got the kids (i hope, the bitch is in a mood and may not let them visit ...again) if she doesnt i'll meet up with you all somewhere sometime, just wont be in a good mood

overkill, you have a car that weighs ... 650kg? you loose traction before the box needs anything that strong behind a K motor, just stuff a ke55 5 speed in there with a new shifter hole in the floor when it goes clunky, put a new one in ( they all whine, ignore that or chuck in some NEWLON if it realy bothers you job done

sounds like a hair line crack in the dissy cap to me

if said person hadnt hacked his coupe shell with an axe id be draging that out here to!! then again i may still....... got skills, nothings totaly shot to hell till I'm finished haha

your crank angle sensor is shaged, when it gets hot the motor shuts off, hence the dash lights, when it cools down, away you go again. its mounted behind the harmonic balancer, next time it shuts down tip water down there, cool it down and keep going, straight home till you get a new one cos it wont last much longer now ($15 from holden trade last time i did one)

i lost 20 kg in a month, and didnt have that much to spare in the first place, in 2 years i havent been able to put that weight back on, i just can't eat enough, my insides are to small and my system doesnt soak the stuff up or something, I'm a little self concious about being under weight and if i was to find a girl who had everything else in her favor, id live happily with a few hip bone bruses

you must still be sporting a semi from my new back yard :P

its 40 min from work (fyshwick) but i only rent, $75 a week and the old fellow still runs his stock, mate owns the 265 ha block next door he would sell for $570,000 ish but isnt real worried bout selling

ive just scored a 3000 ha backyard, and plan to smack into a few roos over the next few years living out there, if anyone wants to get rid of a rolla good for spares, want to drop me a line? ive got the room to store till i need it now!! (any and all rollas just about, preferably those one owner grandma tow it away free its in the way ones :P )

i have my kids every second weekend (this being that weekend) and 3 year olds don't cope well with late night drives, so it would be great if cruzes fell on the off weekends for me, but hey, if that doesnt work for everyone else, so be it whoever sets the hill climb dates must have his kids the opposite weekend to me, every one falls on the weekend my kids are over, its a shit! can't race, can't stay long, can't work on friends cars!!

last rolla motor i built got line locked out the garage door :) i don't recomend it but hell that motor was fast, just not for long run it in depending on how you want it to last and go i think oils? no sinthetic for 1000k the soap and stuff will glaze the bore and do horid shit to bearings and stuff after that... whatever floats you boat i think

i only ever eat once a day, yes shes skinny but i wouldnt kick her out of bed for farting, then again ive been single a looong time, so as long as shes still breathing...

little one for panel up to 1mm, fun one up to 12 mm with a fillet weld, with rust aim over and across the hole, build up the metal on the other side and work back to the solid metal , short bursts to keep heat down, blow on it with an air duster to disipate heat between hits

i like BIG welders!! compensating for something maybe? you could nuke a turky with that thing yet alone a bulb

it is usualy a glass fuse in the fuse box panel thingy.... today was to long to think clearly, dash and tail lights run on the same fuse ( that so you know your tail lights are out, high tech safty feature) put parkers are usualy on there own , dimmer only runs dash lights so it can't be the problem for everything else, look for a black plastic box rh foot well about2 cm x 2 cm (may be silver alloy) it should be power to everything..... AFTER you check to see if to have power in and out of combo unit

moving to a property with a gravel driveway, all 20 minuits of it :) so low is out for now

i don't think all the bulbs blew ether, i was playing with a mig to fry mine, and killed the cd player, moral to the story, never beleve apprentices who say they disconected the battery
