Nice Bimmer Ben. I've for gotten the brand of those rims, some german brand right? Because my mates dad had them on his car along with a bodykit from the same company. Then we'll have to hire out a community rollaclub bus!!

I hate dodgies who do things like that. Mate she looks at home in the engine bay. Good luck with chasing down your gear.

Looking sweet mate, been a while since i have checked this thread and it's great to hear the 4age is going in. Post up some progress pics when you have time. Matt.

Dad spotted an orange KE30 2 door sedan in brunswick yesterday, said it sounded mean but unfortunately was sporting a cannon muffler.

Welcome Andrew, got a deposit but old man wont allow? I know the feeling very well :P Anyway, i hope you get it (be great if a mate could store the car for you at his place). Cheers. Matt.

I AM COMING!

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the grand hotel, although there is one that i don't know the name of next door.

Nuff said.

Nah, that was sheqel (unfortunately that beast died). Also, if this cruise goes ahead i say we make a detour via Arthr's Seat :P

Dude just a quick little rant, before you go ahead and post up a new topic you must search the engine conversions database as there are numorous topics on the topic of 7k conversions. Just a heads up for the future. Here are some: http://www.rollaclub.com/board/?showtopic=8537 http://www.rollaclub.com/board/?showtopic=15311 http://www.rollaclub.com/board/?showtopic=8712 Cheers Matt.

After driving down to the Mornington Peninsula for the day yesterday i Thought it might come in handy for people to alert other fellow Rollaclubbers about cop 'hotspots' discovered in their travels. So i will start off. Sunday June 29th - I spotted an unmarked silver ve ss commodore patroling the Nepean Hwy between Mentone and Cheltenham. (rego was USP-913) Ithought this might come in handy for our resident hoon Leigh! :P Matt.

I might be able to get a mate to come, although he does have a BMW

I paid $2200 for my ke30 4 door sedan in standard but overrated condition (with no rust). So if this 2 door sedan is in near perfect condition and have your heart set on it be willing to go up to $3000. Although make sure to pretend you know nothing about the rarity of the car especially in that condition :P Matt.

Haha, paint that changes colour. Shame about the cannon mufflers though.

Put me down for Portsea mate.

Should we make a new poll topic?

Oh my God. I can't beleive the day has come where she actually comes out of the shed! Great work boys. What are you going to do with the shizzle brown door trims? Matt

No it's dfunkt's car, Jarrad just has it in his shed the greedy bastard! By the way that engine block came up very nice boys.

Great to hear you got it running, oh and ask Jarrad how long it took me to work you rego plate out! :(

That's a vice grip mate, they last for years and years and are a sound investment. You can get ones with different shaped/sized heads. Great to see more progress on her johno, how you finding the cheap and cheerful double din head unit? It looks awesome!

Awesomeo, it's a date then :(

Well it will either be in it's current form or going through rebuild and installation of dellorto's. Fingers crossed mate. This has been mentioned previously in the thread but we used standard 3k mounts with small washers. There is more to it than just fitting an injected motor. It involves changing over to electric fuel pump and maybe surge tank depending on your setup. It also involves getting the associated 7K-E computer or aftermarket and wiring this up as well. It is also known to be a very tight fit with the injected manifold. In other words it is alot more money and time consuming for not too much of a gain. Cheers Matt.
