mid last year when kym sheppard got killed in that accident, i was on the road 5 minutes behind them. got diverted up through there and i was pretty much the first car through, had a blast in the work van, back was dead empty too so it was handling pretty well too (for a VAN). :P was actually going to organise an ausrotary.com cruise up through there. when it happens might have to put a link on here and let you guys tag along and get your arses handed to you buy some rotors!! :D :|

JUST got back from putting that exhaust on. fug its quiet now. has absolutely no note, which is cool, because its got no whistle now either. so i'm no longer cop bait!! :P and its sooo much happier sitting at constent rpm now, like cruising the highway. still getting pretty hot though (espeacially on 10spi :| ) so i think i might do a water pump swap tonight. :D I'll get back to you about the discs, if you sell them in the mean time thats cool, i've just been neglecting my mazda a bit lately so i better spend some money on that for a change!

heres a couple of pics of the f-truck.

haha, yeah I think i heard that! :) you would have been standing under the tower in the corner there. yeah I had a few mates standing around there so no doubt it was one of them thinking ...."huh, someone actually likes his rolla haha" oh well, atleast i did a better "burnout" than the r33 with the space savers! :lolcry: (well i think!)

yeah had a quick chat to him. please tell him i didn't mean to be rude if I was, had a late night / early morning trying to get everything ready, so i was already cranky band tired, and then started to get sick of everybody giving me 20 q's about the car. :D yeah we put a boost controller in it sunday morning at the dragway and cranked it up to 10psi for that. was just running 6psi on saturday. fug it get hot quick on 10psi ;)

my burnout pretty well sucked. ;) forgot to turn my thermo on and got a bit hot!! :D

all right then f@$k it. I'll have the price we agreed on last night and will pick it up tonight!!! I can do without food for a week!! :P

s'all good Q, I'm just luvn the new emoticons and have a bit of fun.... :dance: :lol: :rolls: we don't get spoilt with such a range at ausrotary!! :sob: :rant: :D <-----is this the rice boy emot??hehe any i'll go and :) now!! :P

back to fuel pumps, has anybody ever had this problem with there KE55. My fuel and temp guages will only work if you have over a third of a tank of fuel. when fuel gets low, the fuel guage drops to just above empty and the temp guage FOLLOWS IT!!! :P sometimes they will work again umder a third of a tank, but not for long. I have had the tank out of the car and checked all of the sender, which seemed fine. any ideas?????

will probably be in contact this arvo. will probably come round and have a look. btw, jamie (think he's pheonix83 or somehting) was going to buy it, but said if I want it I can have it. :P

:D :) :P

and that one would be mine. :) baby shit brown ke55 to be precise! Turbo'd not supercharger, the wine is REALLY starting to give me the shits :P thats why I need an exhaust. PSI 055 is a nice car. :D and I for some reason ke70panelvan, I really like your car, it does it for me, think its all the black.

with everything going to plan I should be racing my corolla at the nats, so you can all come laugh at me. :P If she not running properly I suppose I'll just have to race the rotor! :)

hey dan, may be interested in your exhaust. I'm currently driving my rolla round with only 60cm worth of exhaust on it. have been quoted around $400 at a couple of exhaust shops, but don't really want to spend that much. its currently 2 1/4 inch off the turbo, but 2 inch would do. what sort of muffler if any does it have and a rough asking price?? Are you north or south?? REgards, Si.

it was all just done for shits and giggles really. :wink: oh yeah, it was $400 in parts etc (out of that fuel pump was $97, and exhaust was $80 being the most expensive parts) got 2 1g ct12's for free!! but there was also around 100 hours of my own labour which was the big saver. 100hours x say $60 (average mechanics hourly rate) = way to much for a corolla. :y:

was in bathurst car park thursday night i think. you can see the auto shop at the college from there. somone said "hey whats that up on the hoist,...a datsun?" which you could see through the window. I reply with ".....bugger the datto, that looks like a clubman behind those see-through brick things!" what'da know I was right!!! :wink:

Blame darren not me :wink: haha trout slap!! engine bay looks HEAPS better now, isn't full of charf like in this pic. I was driving it round for a little while with absolutely no exhaust on it- just coming straight out the back of the turbo. when i buy a new usb cable for my camera i'll get some pics up of the new engine looking engine bay.

in all realities darrens engine is (was) the toughest k series in the world!! :wink: this is my car. total set up was done for under $400. has had a bit more work done since this pic, now has a front mount etc. should be running at tassie nats not this weekend but bext.
