Be quick girl...... http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/board/in...showtopic=37363 -15's at that price won't last 2 days. :wink:

Fuggin tell me about it!! :wink: :D

Looks good. You going to put your 2ttc in it?

He means hydraulic lifters. Take your tappet cover off and have a look if you have adjustable rocker gear, if not its still hydro.

Go to Burson and order a Permaseal EM30. They have bigport sized inlets.

^^^yeah have you tried just putting some chemiweld in it? Might be worth a shot!

....and "my other car is a sprinter Trueno".....on a levin. haha :P

....and you need to learn the difference between a Corolla and an RX2! :P

Sucks man, sorry to see its happened again!!! :P Don't you live next door to a cop?

How's that different to our ke30 bonnets? EDIT: No vents?

+1 :P

Sure does, even more so because of the SC's low RPM power curve. I highly doubt you'll get boost down to 4 psi either! :cool:

I can help with prices as I prices some a few weeks back. Toyota: Inlet valves - $38.50 each Ex valves - $50 each Valve guides - $21 each Veal in Perth: In valves - $9.70 Ex valves - $12.50 Valve guides - $3 :cool:

For last time,..... they were not comparing the cars :cool: And everbody keeps dwelling on the fact that they didn't do a fair comparo, when it wasn't a comparo at all!! It was simply a statement (and this also explain the short story) that aussie produced performence cars have basically the best bang for buck in the world!

Lucky you said Saturday, not Sunday. You realise Bathurst is this weekend!? Dunno if I'll make it out, wíll let you know.

What sort of power are these rb26dett making? You probably find they're getting right up there with turbos that don't spool up until like 4000-5000rpm. In this case a "big cam" can still be the go for basically a fully worked motor. For a much more user freindly ever day type car the stock lump stick is the way to go. Also bare in mind that a superchargers power range is more so low-mid RPM, instead of mid-high like a turbo. So a stock cam again is looking better. :)

^^^^^^ :) missSX, it sometime pays to read other posts, rather than reading the topic heading and making a reply. :) Oh and if you're that dissapointed in the aussie version.......don't watch it, plain and simple.

yep, ONLY the 5 spd from a ke70 has the "4 bolt wedge" mounting you need. All other k40/50 have the 1 bolt, and the wedge is 90o around the other way.

ke70 K50. :)

Spewn!! Yeah dunno about the wrong size welsh plug thing. :) They're only thin brass, You think they'd bend befor cracking a cast iron block if the hole wasn't big enough. Just dig a trench across to top of the crack with an angle grinder and fill it with "need-it"!! :)

Of the exhaust ports? Couldn't tell you sorry Todd, and I've already taken that gasket back. However those bolt holes are 12mm, not 10mm like the rest, and they're nearly twice as wide as that so roughly 24-25mm squared. Makes you wanna do some more research in head inter-changability hey!? Yes a 7k has a wider block....but are 5k/7k heads still swappable!!!??? :) I'm gunna get the tape measure out when I get home!! 7k's still have dished pistons IIRC so you might be able to keep the stock 5k CR. 7ke head would go off its tits on a 5k with those ports if it all worked! :)

:) I can make you one!? Or just give me $10K and take the whole car!!! :) Design of the k'sev dash wouldn't allow you to be as creative though.

If you've only stretched or snapped the cable you can get if fixed at somewhere like "Cable Mate" for like $20!!! :)

Been sitting on my hands for a week befor putting in my 2 bobs worth here. I'm a huge TGUK fan and have seen ever episode that has aired in the UK so far......just wait to you see what Jeremy "...finds on the internet" each week! hahaha Points I would like to make or re-inforce after the first 2 eps: 1, Somebody made a very valid point about comparing these 2 eps to the first series of TGUK. Its now been running for over 10 season, about 5 of which have been with the 3 current UK presenters. I think its only fair to give the aussie guys a chance to settle in and and find their feet. I'm sure they will also develop their own styles within time and draw less of a parallel to their UK counter parts. Agreed that Warren's style, albeit a little un-orthodox, is also very natural. Compared to Cox who at times seams a little forced in his deliver, and as somebody said seems to at times try too hard. Pazzani - I'm normally quite "anti-bogan", but I think Steve brings some good ol Aussie bogan culture to the show, and frankly, being the aussie version I don't think the show could do without this!!! When was the last time the UK boys have a lambo in the studio, started it, and hit the rev limiter befor it even gets the chance to build up some decent oil pressure!!! :) To be honest I don't think I've ever seen them start a car in the UK studio apart from a couple that have been driven in - ie the battered hilux. 2, I was suprised at just how similar the studio set was to the UK set. In the first 3 second of the show you could be forgiven for thinging you are actually watching TGUK, until they zoom in on the stage and you see the aussie presenters. This and the fact that a lot of the show concept is pretty much a direct copy of the UK version was a little dissapointing, until a put a little bit more thought into it: Remeber guys, the show is still own by the BBC and is under licence to SBS. This means that the HAVE TO "follows the rules of Top Gear". For example, are our Aussie produced game shows unique!? NO, they are all a direct copy of a US/UK proven game show!!! :yes: And do I even have to mention Big Brother or Aus/US/UK/world Idol!!?? If a show works in one country, why drastically change it for another!? Its seems that some people expected a show so different to TGUK, that why would they even call it Top Gear!! It is good to see there are some small differences though, like the "what where they thinking" wall, however I suppose this is sort of based on "the cool wall". Some of the Stories. 1, I didn't ever think (a couple of years ago) that I would ever see a Top Gear episode filmed on Tassie roads. And I highly doubt it will be the last time! :D 2, Yeah I don't know how they got 800hp for the GT. :P I did a quick google search about it, found RHD002 and they claim it has 550hp....... http://email.kazoommarketing.com.au/em/mes...978&u=18376 Maybe RHD001 has had a couple of turbos fitted (only 250hp more), but I highly doubt it. If it did you'd think they'd mention it. 3, I think a lot of people missed the whole point about their Holden VS Ford story. They were not actually trying to compare the 2 cars (if they did I'm sure they would use a V8 falcon too) and find a winner. :yes: "after the tyres warmed up" :) they where trying to enphasize the fact that Aussie's are infact quite lucky in having 2 locally made cars with so much "bang for buck". Yeah by the time you start looking at Clubsports or FPV's for similar money you can get a brand new Merc or Beamer. But you CANNOT get an AMG or an M3!!!! :P 4, I did find the "Smart Hurst" a little silly, however I didn't mind the "shark/moke" story - that was typically Australian. 5, Vince Collosimo got his arse kicked!!! 8/ I'm going to end my rant here for now..... but can I just leave you with one thing to consider, which is the way I'm looking at TGA, good or bad....... "ANY Top Gear is GOOD Top Gear"!! :yes:

Is that a Toyota Blizzard? If so you wanna run a tape measure from the front wheel centre to the rear one for me please?
