78_7kRolla

Some more breakages! Was cruising this afternoon and change to third BANG! Thar she blows. Another k 'box down the drain. So it may be actually upgrade time now :) Anyway here are some shots before the 'box let go.

Saw this sticker in watergardens carpark last week. I lold.

Nice score, i wanted to buy this one off car sales but two rollas is enough for now. Very keen to see how this progresses :blinks:

Seen this car at tafe. Looks the goods in person with heaps of flake in the paint! Very nice mate ;)

Lolz. Come down to a melbourne cruise if you want to see it in action :D That's why i (and many others) go most of the time!

Spotted this morning : BKS's old 'stivo (zze-123) heading citybound on Pascoe Vale road.

Spotted a white ke17 (i think) with the rego 'TIKTAK' along Dandenong rd near chadstone shopping center. I was in Graham and beeped and got a wave back ;)

I don't know who that was in the KE25, the two guys didn't seem to talk much. As for the whereabouts of Graham, well he got a bit lost (and peter followed) and we arrived 5 minutes later and missed out on some photos. Was a great day though.

Another update! Got some 34mm chokes for the webers today (up from the 32mm). Goes much nicer and revs even smoother. Mighty impressed with this quick mod :)

Yeh mate my bad, checked my messages on my phone and it wasn't from you!

Haha top stuff. Double your consumption and it equals mine! Any clue on that oil pressure issue?

Here's the photo of me gloating about lap of the day :)

Hahaha thanks guys. You would have loved it in third in the Burnley Tunnel dropping to 60 and up to 80 repeatedly :)

Sort of an update guys. Two weeks ago my starter motor packed it in so i removed it and had it rebuilt. While doing this i noticed coolant leaks from the head (head gasket). Thus, last night me and the old man burnt the midnight oil and ripped the head off that luckily wasn't warped or showing any signs of excessive wear/damage. After a quick cleanup of the head and the block we wacked a new head gasket on it. All signs point to good now as i went on a cruise to Phillip Island today and it ran faultlessly with no leaks or issues. Pics...

Thanks for a great cruise today guys, especially to Brendan and his old man for getting it up and running so well :P Was great to meet and greet old and new faces and have some fun on the go-karts too. Here are some pics off my phone.

Well that's something i've never seen before! Definitely has an RSL club feeling about it :wink: Just until I ask about those csx alloys for you hey ...

Agreed. it looks super clean johno :dance:

It gets more and more exciting with every update! top effort as always ;)

Definitely there now!

I'm there :wink:

I'm there :bash:

Good old Nonna in the photos. She genuinely looks proud and happy all at once :(

Saw both of ben's machines today. Everyone at work especially loved 'the overrated ke70.' Thanks for coming around mate it was good to see the Ae71 for the first time :thumbsup:

Haha thanks guys, i really apreciate the feedback. It makes the pain i've gone through with this car worth it :thumbsup: Ben, the photos were taken behind an office block at Essendon Airport (Essendon Fields) You have a pm my friend!

Got some news! Re-did the chrome strips in the front and rear windscreens today. looks much better even though the old ones weren't that bad. Also gave him a good detail so that I could take some decent shots of Graham for you guys as promised :blush:
