    She's @ Midas now getting exhaust done! :D Drove it there with nothing but extractors!! ;) slightly noisy trip!! :P
  2. so whats the plan for the silver 30 now Nick?
  3. Would have come and said 'ello, but I'd only just got back from NZ and didn't know about it till now! :D
  4. what happens if you drive a truck down a drive way that starts 3m wide and ends up 2m wide!! :lol: On a more serious note, you'd end up with a pocket of turbulent air at the end of the runners. :cool:
  5. Crossing the road between the Margeret St detention basin and Wellington St, guessing you'd just come down off the outlet.
  6. he's got a CT12B with j-pipe etc. So you keen to line a 4A up against a K at Sports Compacts!!?? :D
  7. Schweeet, thanks guys. :D TRD adjustable goodness!!
  8. Kneed it is the shit!!!! I love it. High temp resistance, so you can use it nearly anywhere but an exhuast (although I haven't tried it yet!! :D ) and isn't effected by fuel.
  9. Saw you drive past when I was out walking the dog last night Josh. Does the ke70 still have the 4k in it, or do you have the 4a in that now!?
  10. Ok, so I know ae86 rear shocks will fit a *e7*.... But will they also fit a ke55!? Anybody done it, or know if it can be done?
  11. I personally don't like welding dizzies to lock them, its too easy to warp the shaft with the heat. Quickest and easiest way to lock a 4k dizzy is replace the springs with cable ties!! :P Or if its a 3k dizzy, just put 2 small cable ties in the slots the weights slide in. :P
  12. Diddo, wish it was on, just got the old girl going, would've bought that....even though it only has extractors on it!! :P

    shame I can't say the same about the engine bay in general! :P I'll have to get the missus busy with a bucket of hot soapy water!! :P
  14. Got: 3k short BLOCK - cheap seized 4k (ke55) - cheap Good 4k (ke70) - not so cheap

    ITS ALIVE!!! :P :yes: Finished off a few things last night and got her running, sounds like a tractor at the moment as it only has extractors on it. Went and bought a few other bits this morning for it, so it'll probably be drivable tonight, apart from the exhaust issue! ;) anyway here's a couple of pic from this morning..... So at least I have 1 running rolla now!! :P
  16. Ah ok, get you now, so you need to lock the dizzy to give an un-changing TDC reference for the ECU? What I meant with the throttle body is: the 4ke has a throttle body the size of a 50c piece, and hence the opening to the plenum behind it wouldn't be much bigger. The VN one would be more like a tennis ball. So once air has passed throught the tennis ball sized TB, it then has the same restriction of the 50c piece plenum opening.
  17. yeah that'l do I give you a ring early tonight. :P
  18. side drafts :P
  19. even early KE's have a 3rd or 4th wire to the gearbox (first 2 are for reverse) for 4th and 5th indicators that can change the air/fuel ratio for better cruis fuel consumption. could be that too!
  20. A pair!! one is enough for a 4k. You could use the 2 on a twin manifold as jordan said, just need 2 adapter plates. But you're gunna have to down jet the shit outa them! :P
  21. Better piss off that Micheal Ferguson sticker!! :P
  22. Don't lock the timing for a NA engine! :yes: Getting rid of vacuum advance is as easy as removing the vacuum line from the dizzy. Locking the dizzy stops it from advancing with mechanical advancement, and it will run like an absolute dog!! Changing the throttle body is all good, but really, whats the point if it then has to flow through a hole the size of a 50c piece once its bee throught the throttle body!! It's still a restriction! What are you like with a welder? Could always make a new plenum and runners to were it bolts onto the bit that holds the injectors! Then you could get the most out of the bigger throttle body. :P
  23. no wucken furries, I tried calling you last night to see if you wanted me to lend you the money for it. So can I come pic up the boot rubber and that hose in exchange for that cluster? could have her running tonight!! :P
  24. :P I have money Casey.......do you have room for it and a means of getting it home!
  25. Oops, I was having a dixlestic moment. :P fixed now.
