Thats not a bad idea Cam, might be a bit quick for people but I am interested in a run... I'm always interested! Icecream hey.. how about a run to krispy creams?

Thanks very much Beerhead, answered all of my questions. I can tell you that the 20valve box uses equal length drive shafts, so I will need custom ones made up according to the drive shaft place I went to. I'm thinking I will just use my existing box with the new engine, it should hold up ok? Just another question, will the bigport flywheel bolt up to the 20valve engine? Or would I be better off using the larger diameter flywheel? Also, is it the AE92 clutch from the 4age engine thet needs to be used? I am assuming they changed the flywheel diameter to the larger one in this model? Thanks again for you help. Jarrad

Well, time to get the juices flowing again.... What would everyone like to do next? Lets throw some ideas into the hat and see what we pull out... J.

Hi, I have recently bought a Silver top 20 Valve for my '82 twincam which also came with a 5 speed box. I had planned on using my original box but now I'm interested in using the silvertop box. I assume this has been done/tried before but I can't find any info on it. What do others using a 20valve use? Is it worth using the 20Valve box? Also is the clutch the same as any aus spec corolla? Can it and/or the flywheel be used with my original box? I have searched the web (and this site) but can't find what I am after, so I thought I would ask some questions... Thanks for you help, Jarrad

Haha, I knew what he meant! I am putting 5 stromies on my slant six in my rod... that should be fun!

You would need something like a 185/60/14 on those to fit... or something of a similar size. They should fit pretty sweet.

Sounds about right ancullen, if that is the case a 7agze might go alright? Time to google... Glad to hear that your problems are coming to an end (hopefully) soulsearcher.

Gee I wish I was up that way! Nothing of the sort in Melb, which is a shame... Well, we do have the Easternats but its mainly VL dominated. Thanks for the pics...

Well, I have to say I will be heading to the next Drift meet on the 25th of October! Was well worth the $20 entry fee despite the cold and there was even a GZE powered AE71 fangin around the track! I would have pics but I forgot my camera, sorry! There were about two dozen cars and around 250 spectators with a domino's delivery car making runs in and out all night... a sight to be seen. Hope this generates some more interest, as I said, its well worth heading out to. Jarrad.

Looking very sweet, keep it up!

hmmmmmm, four side suckers on my 4age.... would be fun!

Ahh, I don't miss nightshift! Not to worry, I will try to take some pics if there is anything worth seeing. Might see someone there tonight... Jarrad

Sure the tire size isnt whats stopping you? I had Sigma Turbo rims on my ke55... like a glove! I was using a 195/50/15 on the front and 205/50 /15 on the rear... Hope this helps.

Bump! Next meet is this Wednesday (27th). I will be there spectating if anyone else wants to say g'day! Let me know... Should be a good night. Jarrad

Yeah, interested... I work for Sunshine Motor Trimming! Thats all we deal with, rods and chevs, so I love em! Anymore details?

I agree, sweet lookin ride you have there!

I agree, if Muller and myself have anything to do with it we will have quite a few more events, just have to get the numbers to them! So welcome Webers4x48 and kickn5k, nice rides to the both of you! Gotta love the look of the twin carbs! Jarrad

I agree, winton is fantastic for spectators. I will have to miss out on both sorry, I was planning to head to the Nostalgia Drags in my mates '55 Chev, but were a bit snowed under!

Well said,will take the excel then!

My old Torana used to do that all day long, got a bit boring so an lsd fixed that! It used to right up the rears at 100k's with a single spinner...

Mmmm, Crown. I have to say I like the early ones (prepares for beating), I havent seen a wagon as nice as that though... in fact, I have never seen one of that model!

DROOOOOOL!!!! Very nice, could you possibly post up some photos of the intake man? It looks rather interesting!

Theres a twin 13B engined tractor I have seen, straight out pipes! Imagine the noise!

The added bonus of getting a trimer to do it is they can organise the windows to be re-fitted after the job is done, well, thats what we do anyway. So its a nice drive in drive out situation. Jarrad.

Arent clubs supposed to get a pat on the back for doing the right thing? Not a kick in the pants?
