there was a twincam crossflow K head, but i'm sick of telling the story. search for "3k-r" or "150e", i may have even posted it on rollaclub once or twice

what's the car like? is it full of rust or just stripped out and driven on dirt lots? ke70 brakes? is it still 4x110 stud pattern? what's wrong with it that i'd need to fix up to race it straight away? (not street registered) can you get us some pics of the trailer and interior and stuff? oh, and is the trailer registered?

who cares that's f@$kin awesome! i'm tempted to buy it myself and drive down there to pick it up

it's handy when you're doing a water pump or timing cover at 3pm on saturday and no f@$kin thing is open because you live in shithole rural nsw :jamie:

if it works for you then keep using it :jamie: the brown sticky stuff is a non-hardening sealant, so it's easier to clean up in the event that you need to service something regularly (such as changing your gearbox every few weeks) and you can re-use paper gaskets which you've sealed with it as well it's the stuff doug always goes on about

these tards read tukn's effort, especially the second one, i was in stitches :jamie:

250 with a trailer? you're kidding right? that's the friggin bargain of the century!!!

i don't know

permatex 3, non hardening aviation sealant. aka: the brown goo stuff which i seem to use once then knock the bottle over and make a big sticky mess everywhere, constantly permatex do make blue and black silicon too, and threadlock and probably heaps of other sealant products :jamie:

why does it talk about lancer AND r33 gtr? i'm guessing he's ended up with fwd offset on one end, rwd offset on the other end wtf language is this in anyway? and where's the damn translator lol :jamie:

permatex it. i never silicon anything, except sump and exhaust gaskets see if it's a problem first. it always happened to me, and i know a few of the guys on oldrollas had it happenning too. maybe our gearbox breathers were blocked, maybe a T50 has a bigger breather than a K50 and it won't be an issue for you you could also just enlarge the breather a mm or so and it would probably be fine. but see if it actually leaks out the output seal first

add [email protected] to your msn and talk to it it's a bot made by volvo to sell cars, but you can talk to it about anything sometimes it comes up with the funniest shit. post amusing convos here :jamie:

is there a steel plate on top like a K gearbox? use that instead. you can drill and tap alloy, someone's added a vacuum fitting to my SU manifold with no problem. but yeah, gearbox metal is generally pretty crap. try on a dead box first

carbon fibre mirrors? fark. just shows what you can do with money, barely none of it's a corolla anymore, the car is almost irrelevant, it's just a shell to carry all the good bits in is that rollie's old bonnet scoop thing?

that's gay. go to industrial relations or something, sounds like you could be up for an unfair dismissal payout :jamie:

top it up to 2L when you get a chance. definitely before the next event it makes sense, all the sideways action and big rpm and constant gearshifts, and especially if your engine is on a backwards tilt, oil starvation could have been your problem all along! also, if you find the tailshaft now leaks past the seal, drill and tap an angled fitting into the housing near the top of the box, to work as a secondary breather. you could even stick a bit of foam over it with a cable tie to hold it on to stop the oil vapour making a mess :jamie:

there's one in lismore that looks just like that, same wheels and front mount (and gze) and everything! small world :jamie:

73hp on japanese fuel with the timing wound up to twelve with no waterpump or engine fan or alternator and 0w oil and 10:1 compression maybe installed in a corolla on aussie pump fuel? hah :jamie:

i know, it's all good mate :o and toyota say SEVENTY THREE horsepower for a 3k, i say :jamie: to that :unsure:

told you :jamie:

i was being humorous :o :jamie: however, there is no way in hell a stock 3k REALLY makes 60bhp, probably more like 45. and depending on what car we're talking about, a gen 3 makes 215kw, 225kw, 255kw, or 300kw from the factory, so there's a bit of room for movement in the maths 300kw = 402hp. 45hp is 11% of 402hp. close enough to one tenth :unsure:

"monkey apple carburetor"

your engineer fed you a bum steer. check out Vehicle Standards Information sheet 6 on the rta website, it lists maximum engine sizes that can be engineered in any vehicled, the figure of which is based on the car's original unladen tare weight and can't be changed an engine any bigger than that, and you have to register your car as an Independantly Constructed Vehicle. which means it must comply with all CURRENT ADRs, something which won't be easy in a 1970s corolla. the chassis and emissions testing will also set you back between 10 and 15 grand and nick's right, that much power in a corolla would really just... suck to try and drive normally. it would be a fun weekend car, and an awesome dedicated track/drag car if you could sort out power delivery (and you'd change to a 5 link rear end or IRS for that) but i wouldn't even think about daily driving it this engine would be f@$koff quick in a VL, never mind something about half the weight. i'm interested to see what you end up with :jamie:

that's pretty optimistic, i'd be saying more like a tenth :jamie:

that's pretty cheap :jamie: glad things worked out in the end
