maddest KE10 stance ever.

I don't think that most people realise, but these winders actually Push On, they just don't pull off easily. Once you get the spring and winder in your hand, you can fit the Jesus clip into the winder and push it straight onto the shaft and it will lock into place. It's been designed so that it only takes a couple of seconds to assemble it on the production line

Yep, unless you're building a racecar, the gains will be marginal. If you are building a racecar, you'd go through the process of cam spec and then tune your manifold to suit the rev range. +3hp!

I just use a tiny flathead screwdriver and practice youre technique to pop the spring out; you'll get good after you've done a few of them

yep. just couldn't resist a bit of innuendo.

And I quote: I'm serious and I'm in adelaide which I think you are also. I've got no problems with taking posession of your goods for a night or two, jamming a hot rod in the rear end and forming a nice puddle. excessive hardening may cause residual stress in members, but this can be resolved if you get it nice and hot first, then also pay it some attention afterwards. Edit - I'm deadly serious about welding your diff.

you know I posted and it didn't display and I edited and it didn't display, so I thought it would sort itself out. I've had all sorts of display issues with this computer and assumed that was it. Taz, hit the edit button on my original thread - you'll see the link for the image is actually in the text...! Yeh, he's got some cool pics on there, I thought the Blogspot warning would be enough.

I read a few of the chopper blogs from dudes in the US. Chopper Dave snapped this pic and posted it on his site, it's a mad looking rolla so I thought I'd post it here. http://www.chopperdaves.blogspot.com/

machine shop! Crikey mick, I did mine with a file!

Will see what we can find out from other Moderators.

I could do with some TIG practice, no pre or post heat capability though, and definitely no warranty.

yep that motor is carby fed not mech injection.

yes and yes.

Ebay. Wreckers.

times certainly are a changing.

honestly there's not much in the toyota fleet I'd buy other than for a cheap easy econo-box LIKE a corolla or similar. Or a hilux, and left foot braking in a turbo diesel (only way to roll) isn't really a priority. Oh I do like the IS200/IS250/Altezzas though.

mind you a second hand hilux 4wd for 18k is going to be a bloody 8 year old one haha.

My mate ended up in hospital from a servo meat pie. I've been known to get me a chicken hero at 4am on the walk home from the pub. Not even tasty after 12 pints. And there's a good reason why servo food is expensive; Servo's make very little margin on petrol, in the realm of 3-4 percent. It's the shop sales that keep them in the black.

Yeh, the last one I saw for sale was about 300k USD a few years ago. Makes more sense than 520 grand for a falcon.

99 bucks for a rebuild single circut, but for ~130 you can get the twin circuit item brand new from All brake and clutch (that was a while ago) There's 2 different sizes in GA-GD Galant items, so you can also tune your pedal feel.

Really, I didn't think you could get the lifters out, although I never tried as I always had the head off. I looked at it and thought it was just that little be too tight.... Cool.

Yeh there's two different locations for the Solenoid but I'm pretty sure the power of the motors are the same. The later ones have a solenoid on top of the starter, much closer to the block, whereas older ones are further out. The newer ones are a bit more compact, handy if you're running extractors.

It's definitely possible from home, you want the lifters faced as well, so you'll need the head off to get them out. Timing cover comes off and the dizzy comes out. lumpy cams are all about duration/overlap and you probably won't want to go too far with your overlap for forced induction. I'll let one of the boost guru's answer that more thoroughly though.

yeh mate it's screwed. Fatigue failure, it's always going to be at the keyway, it's the fundamental design flaw with keyways. Sharp Edge = Stress raiser = eventual fail. cheaper, easier and more reliable to get the specs and get another one ground.

If your charge was that poor, you'd have trouble doing anything as soon as the headlights come on! Like firing the coil! Relay is a good point though, I might try that first one mine before I muck about with the motor!
