you can get 4a-cs for free/cheap off drifters, i see them all the time on toymods!

i measured up ages ago and found you could slot a 302 windsor into a ke30 bay with no cutting, but i would have thought you'd have to chop the trans tunnel for sure. 253 motor and box is interesting to know :P if you can find a good burnout comp somewhere, a "V8 E20" would be a definite contender :D

*sheds a tear for lancer*

there's a corolla pix thread on ausrotary.com, i have lots on my pc, stewart has a few on his website. i should upload them to my fotki sometime! good idea :P

it's there every year :P the guy let me sit in it, my eyes were level with the doorhandles of the cressida next to me. it must be like driving a go kart :D

haha sex and boobs :D lots of non-rice ae92 secas joined up this week, bit of an odd trend but definately a good step. welcome aboard! :P

i like the look of it with those 15s, very race-stylish :P your new 17s are alright too blacking out the back panels gives it a tuff look. nice work :D

perhaps not so much where it's refined, but how it's refined, or to what purity, or what additives are blended with the base product later on it is rumored that optimax does what it does because it's base unleaded with additives, and the additives are what causes separation. some other fuels don't do this as they are more highly refined mixes from the word go. i don't know how true this is, and i don't know enough about petrochemical science to prove or deny it

on a budget, you'd set it up draw thru, so basically it's just like having a larger engine behind the carby. a bit fiddly to setup but still do-able

you really need a vacuum source to move the air from the crankcase to the can. use fuel hose, hook up a can of some sort, filled with pot scrubbers, between the pcv and the sandwich plate you'd be better to remove the pcv valve and put a large diameter piece of hose on it, so it gets constant vacuum

lol they're like 18" hotwires :(( how tasteless would that be

yay scott's here! welcome aboard :((

photoshop us a new bubble shaped car :((

that is very fixable :(( i'd use another quarter from the wreckers, cos you've probably pulled the sideline and bootlip out of shape, but there's no structural damage from the looks of that

4ac is cheap/free, and facilitates easy swap to 4age later on :(( nice work dude, hope to see it on the road soon

four of those ke1x are owned by the same guy. i was talking to jonathon barr (who publishes Japanese Restorer magazine) about it, he was there quickly taking some photos

you'd never get 170hp naturally aspirated out of a K series motor, the head just can't flow that much

yes there is, i've seen at least two in the wreckers, and one driving around registered the chassis code isn't ke71 tho, that's just a term people use to describe the update front end

pfft, i bought ultimate up there on the way to all toyota day, and it's like 103.9. down here the cheapest ultimate i can get is 120.9 :(( our normal unleaded is like 114.9

10 bucks to the first photo of an excel with hotwires

excels have the exact same offset as rt104 coronas, as listed in the performance wheels application guide. you can put sigma 14s on an excel with no fouling (and it looks very funny) but as you know, brakes and other things come into it, so i wouldn't say EVERY wheel would fit, but most probably would

i never thought i would hear anyone but me say those words, you are my hero :((

ampol is caltex with a different brand name, they use the same supplier. my work has caltex starcard, i have a retailer listing for the main supplier in my area (northern marketing) which lists anywhere i can buy fuel

you go and try it then

well, mobil's out of the race straight up, because it's only sold by a few outlets in capital cities. |blink| do some road testing with the different fuels. my ex and i drove from ballina to coffs harbour, and used 3/4 tank of caltex vortex. we drove around coffs on holiday for a week to empty the tank, and filled up with optimax down there. we used 1/4 tank on the way back. caltex? :fuzz: if you look into optimax, it's not that good either. its chemical composition doesn't allow it to mix very well with other oil-based substances, such as oil or other brands of petrol. so if you're stuck without a shell station and you fill up with something else, parts of the petrol separate and you end up with a clear goo in your entire fuel system. i've had mates who this has happened to speak to any rotary enthusiast or person who uses 2 stroke (gokarters, dirtbikers) and they'll tell you how crap optimax is at mixing with 2 stroke oil mix, and how it's a good way to burn deposits onto the inside of your engine and end its life prematurely. optimax also has over double the minimum amount of ethanol than ultimate ;) bp ultimate is the only epa-approved emissions reducing fuel in the country :(( it has the lowest ethanol reading of all petrols :blinks: it's able to be mixed with other fuels in an emergency :danger: bp are also australia's biggest pennzoil reseller, and i reckon pennzoil is one of the best oils in the world :dance: good brand names usually stick together i'd stick with bp ultimate. a few BTUs more energy isn't going to make a difference if you're getting crap fuel economy or prematurely ending the life of your engine
