kE20ME

so that was you matt that ran out in traffic to get a pic?? haha yea chobis i didn;t see you or the stout either!! great cruise and great turnout! can't wait for the next one! cheers henry

good to hear troy! panel hey...? is that nicks old 26??

Hi guys and girls, just seeing who else is entering in the upcoming Bay to Birdwood classic??- i have got my Ke11 and Bongo 1000 both entered and can't wait!! :dance: The previous classic there was a heap of early rolla's which was fantastic!!! especially the 7 or so ke1#'s all cruising up Chain of Pounds / Gumeracha together in a line. info / forms: http://www.baytobirdwood.com.au/the_classic.html Cheers Henry

Tom- your right, my original 2 blade steel fan snapped in half soon after i got my ke11.. was soo lucky in didn't punch a whole in the radiator i got recored haha.. let us know when you fit a plastic one / and what one you go with.. i measured up roughly with a ke20 plastic one and wasn;t 100 percent sure it would fit.. so I'm now running a front mount thermo and a temp switched. cheers henry

ill hopefully be there in one of the cars.. may not be the rolla though..

remove the front leaf all together, and run some decent front lowered springs- and philbey's ke20 strut top setup!

spoted what looked like a willow green ke1X in wheel works for sale.. although don't know any more than that... only had a suss through the window from inside my car on the way to work this morning if i was to walk in i may do somthing i would regret! ahha

was loving how original your 20 looked when you were driving in front of me luke.. you could almost swear it was just picked up from the dealership :y: cheers henry

was a good cruise, enjoyed driving the ke... looking foward to the next one :wink:

jord, ill be there.. :dance: cheers henry

dammm you should have told me earlier i would have dropped mine around to get done too :yes:

hell yea we do!!! nick just has the difficult decison of deciding which rolla to bring... or which mate he trusts enough haha cars looking good dude hit me up whenever for that lid!

tom, yea they do slightly... they are not captive when the car is fully jacked up.. did a bit of a trick with them though.. ill show you when we catch up :wink: cheers henry

yea its bit of a step up from the 3k. power wise is fine for the ke11 as its so light.. has enough poke to cruise on the freeway etc, and keep up / overtake traffic no probs

yea i have a 5k with a side draught carby.. i didn't have the 3k in there when the tacho dash was in so no real idea :hmm:

yea luckily i have no rust ethier! na they are not.. interior is perfect with no rips or fade.. except drivers seat is really uncomfortable andthe stitching has begun to come undone.. needs new foam / padding and springs i think.. i have half been thinking about getting the whole interior redone / re-trimmed in black :hmm: Disc brakes are a good move!! drums all round is real interesting when you need to stop in a hurry! ahh i thought about the stud pattern change.. definatley easier to source wheels etc.. but i wanted to be able to run the 12inch stockies everynow and then..

can't wait for nexts years bay to birdwood.. we really should keen as many rolla owners as possible up for it!

cheers ben! i have 175 / 65 on mine.. rubs a tiny bit if i have people in the back.. but i hear other run 175 /60's and don't have any issues at all... AE70...your car is like an identical twin of mine too! :dance:

UPDATE>> ...well after a long winter hidden away in the shed gathering dust....thought it was time for some rego and a clean! Nothing has really changed too much the 14 inch wheels are still off.. I'm running 12inch flappers now, and i put in an uncracked dash pad.. got a few other plans for it and a different grill in the mail.. but i am really just enjoying driving the little girl again its been waay to long! :dance:

call me on tomo night or sat. i should be round!

i just grabbed a ke55 or 30 overflow bottle with backing mount for mine... best move ever! hardest part is trying to squeeze it in the engine bay somewhere :hmm:

tom, saw you pumping up old belair a few weeks ago!!!! sounded tuff makes me want to rego mine ahahah cheers henry

i had my original ke11 radiator fully recored. I did it as soon as i bought the car. had to take off the stock metal 2 blade fan as well.. as a blade fell off while driving :hmm: i just mounted a 10 inch (i think) thermo on the front. the radiator cost me $240 luke is right the repo ones do pop up on ebay and the like from time to time for about that price.. you could go custom alloy for the 800 mark... cheers henry

my 1970 ke11 doesnt have any.

so is this cruise happening?
