G'day, got a bit more done today, mounted the gear knob better, put the steering wheel on straight, polished the top of the manifold, mounted a ss lip i got for $20 and painted it :P looks heaps better now :y: mounted the lip, just used cable ties as the bumper is different on ss then pulled it off coz the tow hook went on the inside motor back together polished put some new stickers on that i got with the tyres few more things to do but its getting there, still have 3 weeks and 2 days :P

hey, made the extractors fit the sidepipe today, sounds sick as :D so can't wait to drive it haha first one is lumpy idle this one is 5800rpm :D

hello, cars running, sounds awesome, started first click :D just straight out extractors atm till i make another exhaust :P should be the goods :P

not with those tyres hahaha

hello, got most of the motor back together, should have it going after a few hours tomorrow, cam is 1.5mm higher lift and heaps more duration :P old cam out new cam in :P heads on ready for manifold where its at now :D semi slick on :y:

well i have finally got new semi slick tyres, and the cam turned up :D i put 2 wheels on but its so hot in the shed haha, i'll chuck the others on later, and i'll start putting the motor back together tomorrow :D can't wait to see how it goes next race :D

hew, well heads are done, forgot to mention that i got some extractors from the wreckers for $55, and a near new power steering pump for $50 :P testing the cc's, this side is pretty tuned length but other isn't, still lots better that standard, and will look cool haha and power steering pump haha :D

hello, picked up the heads today, they came up awesome and they acid tanked them to so they are all clean, i gave 2 valves a valve grind and put the new valve stem seals on and put them in, then checked the cc's i can have down to 54cc, and mine are 54.5 or 55cc so they are perfect, i'l start getting the old cam out tomorrow, hopefully the new one will turn up too haha :D can't wait to have it all back together, next meeting is december 1st :P

yeah mine was a bastard to start cold, had to use start ya bastard haha, but if you can find a way to hook choke up it should be ok, i just used a bike brake cable that was a good length for throttle

hey, here is a pic of my throttle setup, it wasn't awesome but worked fine, also with your carbs you will have to mount the close to the same angle as the bike they came off, i think they are down draft carbs so if they are mounted flat i think they will leak, cheers

hey mate this thing is looking sick :D

g'day, well they didn't work that great for me, i didn't have choke, and they were too small, i think a good set of carbs would be some mikunis off a 81 ish gsx 750, but for now iv'e just got the stock carb on, and i'm keeping an eye out for a weber, just coz its a daily i don't wanna be stuffing around with it all the time, but on something you want a hotty motor in it, they would be good to play around with

i got a 1.49.3 in this, in the corolla i only got a 1,56 but its clutch was slipping on gear changes, hoping to get a 1,45 or lower next round with motor work lowered at the back and semi slicks

hello, cleaned the the heads up and took them in to get machined, and ordered a vrs kit, found out its a vy motor, all that i can find is different on them is 1.83 inch inlet valves instead of 1.80, and in saloon cars you can have up to 1.85 so they should be the goodsand different computer but mine is a vt one anyway, and i need a special one for saloon cars anyway, i got half the valves cleaned up and polished them too they look pretty good :y: i'm picking the heads up on monday, so the cam should be here by then and i can start putting it back together :y:

as long as it doesn't look like this haha

hey, when i finish the car ready for saloon cars, i have to take it to a saloon car sealer, they check everything then seal the motor, diff, computer etc, then you can't pull anything apart without breaking the seals, yeah i can't wait till the next race, hopefully it will be a big improvement. Here is all the rules i have to go by, if you have a look go down to the vt/au bit about half way down saloon car regulations 2012.pdf

haha rust is good :y:

just took a few pics out of some outside vids, i'll chuck a few of the vids on later too i cleaned the chambers on one hehad and wire brushed the ports, i'm gonna take them sometime this week to get machined :y: little slide with no power steering haha supercharged 6 froad was shooting flames n shit at me haha

looks sick mate, hey willis, where is your build?? i wanna look haha :P

hello, got the valves out of one head, other head is ready to come off, then ill trake the valves out of that and take them down in the corona :D and get 20 thou off them, the bottom end looks good, not allowed to port the heads from what i can tell in the rules, but i'll clean them up with a wire brush, so hopefully if the cam turns up tomorrow i'll get the time to have it going by the end of the week, if not early next week :D

hello, iv'e now got some money, ordered a cam today, should be here in a few days, getting semi slicks in a few weeks, got one head off today, i'll get the other one off tomorrow and figure how much i need to get it shaved, and i'll get the cam out, give the head etc a clean up and put it all back together :D and match port the inlet manifold to the head.

yes it is, but i'll be back with a new ke70, it might be a while but i'll have another for sure, check out my vt racecar build and my rt80 corona :P

well they just picked it up, i gave it one last wash before haha :( atleast i have money now :P
