  1. My corona lowered 3 inch's scrubbed on the drivers side bad enough to leave strings of rubber hanging off the tire so a adjustable panard rod would have solved that. Same with my t18 now, Only scrubs on one side.
  2. People are cheap, Simple as that. There are exceptions though, Like drag racing etc but there is no exception on the street.
  3. Depends what went wrong with it ?
  4. $10 fuel these days will just fill the hose on the bowser and maybe dribble out. My Ke70 got 400km from a tank Te72 = 350km Mitsubishi Pajero = 350km from 70L Put a carby kit through it and see how it goes. Made alot of difference to dads rodeo.
  5. Hey Jared, Wanna drop in on ya way back and i will pay you for your services ? You know what I'm saying eh eh :D
  6. A friend has one in the rear of his Land cruiser and seems to work ok under light to moderate loads but if you get the car bouncing up rocks/climbs etc it cracks out one wheel skids.

    Well i was driving along at 100kph yesterday and i felt a vibration and i was trying to determern what it was then BANG, I thought it was a blow out so i slowed down to pull over but the my wheel went past me and slammed into a on coming truck. So i replaced 4 studs and nuts and the wheel is ok but the truck is messed up and i have to pay for it out of my pocket :P

    Some rude person hit the front end of my car last night and didn't leave a note. It was either when i was at Uni or parked out the front of my girlfriends house. Anyway they dented my perfect chrome bumper, Bonnet and stone tray.

    A $120 pull apart and clean turned into a $290 reco radiator. New tanks, New core new everything. Main thing is it doesnt over heat anymore. In the 1 hour thrash through the city i just gave it it just sat on 1/4 so I'm happy.
  18. Looks great Gav.
  19. Use the ae71 tailshaft and keep ya ke70 diff.
  20. Only load sensing flasher units flash fast with LED bulbs. You can add LED bulbs to your Ke70 or what ever but you will need to wire in a normal bulb somewhere in the circuit like in the boot somewhere so it can't be seen and it will flash more normal and if its still quick use a 24v bulb. LED's use less current than normal filament bulbs so you need to keep the load like normal hence the hidden bulb/s. The only way i can see the indercators not flashing is if the circuit is stuck closed ? Most LED bulbs are not ADR approved so if you get a bastard cop and he spots them its defect time. They need to be ADR approved. The only light/s i would add to an older car is a reverse spot light. Even most spotlights are not ADR approved and are defectable. If the packet doesnt have the ADR logo or writing anywhere they arnt approved.

    I'm wanting to upgrade to a 52mm alloy radiator and a 16 inch thermo fan but that setup is about $650-$700 so it will have to wait till i get my Ae82 back on the road which wont be too long now hopefully. Its bolt in too, I hate cutting up the radiator support panel to fit larger radiators, Never looks good.

    Radiator is deffinatly blocked. I took it out and put it under the tap and the water came out the top tank before the bottom tank so yeah, $120 to get it flushed and new inlet/outlets because they are rusted out bad.
