oh yeah, i mistook the rocker shaft for cams :) lol

1.8L 929 motor hahaha or an mx5 engine, they can make big powah :)

i think i speak for all members present when i say :) :D :) :D :wub: :wub: :wub: bahahaha :D

notice it's ohc, so it could be a rare ford engine. but i don't know v8s well enough to pick things like dizzy and water pump locations hidden wiring is cool, so are engine bay guages :)

just about every early aussie ke30 came with 3k-h. i have one of the things sitting in my garage right now. they're just a 3k with 9:1, fast idle valve and crankcase ventilation

oh, i have also found that freezing bread for toast makes it so much... denser in your stomach when you eat it. it's quite nice flora buttery taste (formerly i can't believe it's not butter) mmm :)

depends what you're doing. for a little 150hp 12a like i want, a T series is fine, up to 200hp they say. or an SA22C (gen 1) rx7 diff could probably handle a little more than that

i have said this in the past also :D i had my sensible cereal today, just right, mmm :) the silly cereal at the moment is milo cereal, so addictive :D

to get oil pressure up on the first running of an engine, just crank the motor over without spark until the oil pressure light goes off. you'll probably flatten a battery or two doing this, that's normal

i cbf looking at the rules, but i believe n/a 13b is. you can read nsw rta vsi #6 if you're super curious :) but why would you want god awful pig motor bridgeport fuel consumption :D

that reminds me, here's a local group 3j ke30 more pix here

i also have efi turbo envy, but a 4agte is too common, and nick would never forgive me for a ca18det. personally, i think unless it's a dedicated drag car, a force inducted corolla is just way too much power for such a light package a wrx or evo or skyline or something with well setup irs like an fc, sure. but not a shitty little snap-oversteering live axle corolla

troll :)

ok, i started this, with my desires to own an FC rx7. now that i have no corolla, i have the opportunity to change manufacturers. here are the good points and bad points that i can see about owning: a corolla they're cheap. i don't want to get into much more debt, and i'd be happier owing money on things like race seats and lsd than a whole car which is just going to depreciate. and i also have lots of corolla bits already, which makes doing up another one even cheaper i love the look of the ke2x cars, i'll always have a soft spot for them. owning a beautiful OLD old car (and 30 years is pretty damn old these days) is a thing to be proud of part of me is sick of owning a rattly old car with things that break. i'm also sick of having to customise everything good that i want such as suspension parts i know the damn things inside and out. they're not hard to work on, and i can do everything myself. i can't build my own rotary. i could learn, but it took me ages to build this 4k, and again to get it running well enough i was confident with it. i wouldn't be willing to spend another 20+ months doing the same with a rotary. and that's a bit of a defeat an fc expensive. i don't want to get into 12 grand of debt to own a car. i'd have to get a turbo one, which would make insurance impossible LOOKS SO PHAT :D i don't know which i like better tho rotary engine, stock. i like rotors, and i want one. sure you can put an n/a 12a into a ke20, but i like the fact that i can legally have a turbo 13bt fc, which i can't do with a corolla bolt in parts everywhere. engine upgrades and bolts ons, suspension bits, coilovers, decent kits. it would be nice to just spend the cash and spend a day bolting some coilovers in, and get instant rewards realistically, i can't afford an FC, it's just out of my grasp at the moment, so i guess it will have to wait till another day. i can always put an efi 12a into a ke20, which is my dream now :D with low suspension, lsd, quiet exhaust, comfy race seats. a real cruise car :)

hahaha that shot with redwrf was my wallpaper for so long :)

not legal :)

if i lost my job, i'd apply to work at coles or woolworths or something. all my friends who work there seem to have heaps of fun when, and earn more than me sometimes, and get to have days in the week off (tho working weekends might suck, but you'd get over it) supermarket jobs :)

melbs

nah it was cheap as, everything bolted in :) :D :D

i know this guy who has a ke35 that he uses for tarmac rally and motorkhanas and stuff, is that race enough?

don't start a reliability argument again, it's been done to death on here yes they use fuel, just as much as if you made 150-200hp with a similar 1300cc motor (4k, a12, g13b, etc) i want a rotary corolla. but if you had a ke55, you'd put a 13b in it

i had THE best breakfast in sydney. ever. it was at a place called flick's cafe, and was simple scrambled eggs on toast, done in the MICROWAVE of all things, with cheese. i asked flick how to make the recipe, i even WATCHED her make it, and i wrote it down. but i've never been able to replicate it :)

like this?

yeah i'm all good :) next ride will probably be a ke20, looking at a overrated little yellow one in brisbane. in a way i hope my 4k is rooted, so i can build efi extend port 12a :D part of me is also tempted to just sell all my corolla parts and buy an FC rx7, but i don't really want to get into that much debt right now

that's an rt104, matt has one of them he did up when he was 18, still sitting in his garage he's going to bog his pants when i send him this :)
