Rola Drifter

Looking the goods luke :lolcry: Did matty end up doing your seats for you again?? Any plans for something a little more powerful than a 4k in the distant future?? Tom

Hey mate, Did you happen to have fan shroud on at all before this happened & perhaps left it off?? I had to replace my alternator not to long ago, so i took my fan shroud off & left it off. I replaced my alternator & then after all that, i noticed my temp gauge was getting a bit higher than what it normally did while i was driving. & even higher when i pulled up at lights. I then done a radiator flush, replaced the thermostat with a new one & new gasket & in the end it still kept heating up. My other half told me "maybe you should put the plastic thingy back where it was". Well what would you know, when i could actually be bothered & did have some free time i put it back on & haven't had any drama's since. But don't let her know she was right lol Hope you get it sorted out soon mate. :bash:

That's fair enough. N cheers for the comments guys but it's now been sold. So can someone please close this thread. thanks everyone for reading. Tom

Well here's a little bit of an update. The car is up for sale, complete car + smallport 4age loom & ecu & might be sold as it stands atm, but for the buyer to be interested the car had to be complete. But if anyone is keen at all pm me & i'll discuss details with you about the sale. So here's a couple of pics of what it looks like now. Cheers Guys.

Not necessarily mate, if you want you could hook the electric fuel pump from ignition into a missile switch, then onto the fuel pump that way you can stop it pumping anytime & it acts as a kill switch also. If you do manage to get an electrical fuel pump, don't forget to get a fuel pressure regulator so you don't flood the engine :hammer:

Yeah man export ftw! Super cheap has them on sale......3 cans for $7.99 so its not to bad. I sanded the roof today, only got to it with 80 grit on the orby but its a start. Hopefully should have the body all painted (primer & colour, minus the clear coat) by next monday seen as friday & monday are holidays :yes: Also my girlfriends younger brother noticed today a little chip in my windscreen that turned into a nice big crack :y: so it's just thing to add to the slow process. Anyways thats about it for now seen as the weekends over :y:

Cheers mate, It's just export spray can paint from super cheap called ocean blue. Strangely enough the colour of the lid on the can is like a navy blue but as you can see it's alot lighter than navy :y: i was planning on leaving the car in primer until a friend of mine said that primer isn't the best for a car as it holds the little bits of water in allowing it to help rusting or what not. Can anyone confirm that for us?? So with that in mind i went into the shed this afternoon & seen that i had a couple of ocean blue spray cans laying around so i thought "why the hell not" lol I'm not a pro at painting what so ever & cannot afford a decent paint job just yet, but this will do in the meantime & will slow down the rusting process for now. The cars spec's as it sits at the moment is: 84 Ae71, 5 speed manual, 4ac with weber carby & a single drift pipe out the rear, Locked diff, 86 struts in the front with chopped pedders spring's (unknown shocks), Cut falcon springs in the rear with sierra shocks, Sitting on an unknown pair of 14 x 6" 5 spokes up front (i have 6 wheels this style in total) & a pair of low offset 13" hotwires with a bit of stretch on the rear. Inside isn't anything to special so it's not worthy of any photos just yet, but left over from previous project in the shed i have: Front strut brace (painted orange), Pair of Driftbitz bucket seats on xe7x rails (ready to bolt in), mx83 lower control arms, Brand new pink dildo gear knob, 4 x 52mm gauges with 7 different backlight colours (water temp, oil temp, oil pressure & boost) 3 & 3/4" matrix tacho (brand new with 7 different backlight colours to) Brand new pioneer cd player (with ipod connector) Car alarm & keyless entry, My 15" meshies that are on the yellow 70 atm & also the smallport :yes: . Thats bout it for now but will keep everyone updated. Cheers Tom

lol yeah man i would love to have a cruise with ya before you sell yours, but i won't have the funds for a long time to get a 4agte in it, let alone it be registered on the road lol any idea how much the electricians gonna sting ya for the work??? A honda city?? whats with the little buzz box's lol

& a couple more. Cheers Tom

Here's a couple of updated pics.

Sux to hear thats its taken a while to try get it to spark & now it's off to the auto electricians, but hopefully you get a few little drives before you sell it off man. Are you definately going to get a 70 wagon next or whats the plans man??

Lol yeah andrew thats what i've been looking into because its alot more along the lines of what i've always wanted. I've just gotta see when the time comes & how much cash is floating around as to what i can hopefully get :bash:

Thanks mate, & yeah its coming along slowly.........It sux when the compressor i have doesn't have quite enough power to keep the orbital sander at full speed :bash: But yeah, all that is left to sand & paint is the bonnet, roof, boot & to pull apart 3 doors & primer them. So it's not going to badly considering i been crook with the flu for the last 3 days :S I've still got to figure out what i'm going to do motor wise, as i've still got the smallport 4age, loom & ecu, but as i found out last time round was that my old smallport ran out of power in the end. So i'm leaning either towards a 20v or a later model 4agze converted to turbo or just to rebuild the smallport that i have with the stronger internals to handle a turbo strapped onto it :y: Anyways thats about it for now lols Cheers
