Mr Hardware

the monkey is stupid, but there's nothing wrong with it. whatever floats your boat!

your go mikey!

No, I didn't And mikey is very close, but not quite right It is actually a 1962. But yes, a Cadillac Fleetwood Limo. 8 seater, Automatic, Power Steer, Air Conditioned, electric windows all round, glass that comes up from the inside of the drivers bench seat operated by the people in the back.

Ok ok I got one I am good mates with the owner of this actual car. It is no longer on wedding/ limo duties, it is just a private car now. I went to my formal in this car, it was great. Have to tell me Year, Manufacturer and Model

umm okay i spose i have to think of something rarer than a VB SL/E then hey

c111? it's a 4x4?

Uh-huh Septone Protecta Pink yep, nuff said alright.

Well I don't think i've posted in here before Mr Hardware (as in computer hardware, i'm a qualified computer tech) Matthew is my real name I drive a well looked after KE55 sedan - stock rebuilt 4K-C.

Everything is unreliable in comparison to a K motor

4runners/surfs are the gayest cars ever put out by toyota maybe even gayer than SV21 camrys. SV21 camrys are only gay when it comes to build quality its actually interesting how different widebody camrys are compared to SV21's. Widebody's rock!

My opinion on xenon/blue/driving/not normal light f@$kf@$kSHITSHITHATETHEf@$kING()*&^$THINGSf@$kf@$kf@$k When i'm driving, i dislike them. Alot. I'm just about to get a Falcon. I'm gonna keep the standard H4 bulbs. I'm also gonna put on the car some Narva Spotlights and I'm gonna aim them directly at oncoming cars AND BLIND THE f@$kERS WITH STUPID SHITHOUSE f@$kED UP f@$kING SHIT LIGHTS I HATE I HATE I HATE *ahem*

variable intermittent wipers aah i see, just another position. my wipers go all shuddery on slow, so i just flick them on and off fast when its only raining lightly. Yeah, i'd like intermittents, but hey, i'm getting my new car in three or four weeks so i'm not too fussed. I'll be going from a 26 year old car to a 6 year old car. Mind you i'll be going from a car with 340,000klms to a car with 600,000klms. woo!

what month 1980? where are they located, on the stalk? can someone provide me with pictures?

Maybe it was a dealer fit option Well like my signature says, mine is a 1980. October actually. Just before intermittent wipers were introduced actually. It's a CS, so it's got all the shit, inc wrap around bumpers. Yes, the car is prtty well bog stock.

whats the difference between a KE55 and a KE55E? I know mine is the latter, and its a square-headlighter

I used to drive an 89 SV21 camry they are the devil to quote the mechanic at my old work "SV21 camry - the car that made toyota look bad"

you know with RACQ you get the first 10 kays free then you pay for the rest RACQ cost - 10 free kays would be cheaper than some random tow company i'd reckon

why was the 4AC so shit when the 4KC was one of the best motors toyota ever made?

where can you hire a booth?

Well, sad but true, the fastest car i have 'owned' is my poor old KE55 stock as a rock. The fastest car i have 'had' ie work provided for me as part of pay (so essentially i paid for it) was a 1993 ED Ford Falcon on gas (ex cab). This thing was a freak of nature. Would spin the rears up to 60kmh in the dry and do 500klms on $30 back in the day.

how hard is that to do? how much is a new cluster?

E85!!! Crap! Well I have Freedom Elite 95 (E10) in little champ at the moment. First time. It gets more billy-o, but yeah, maybe not good for the fuel lines/carb etc etc. Gunna try it in my brother's VL Commodore soon.

okay, that sounds reasonable. does anyone have any of these speedo drives?

No, its the original dash cluster. I'm running 175/70/13s on stock KE55 wheels I believe it's the original Borg Warner 4.11:1 diff. I don't believe its the original gearbox. When I got the car the speedo used to read 20kmh over, and so the bloke i got it off (who is a mechanic) changed the speedo drive in the gearbox (apparently its the 'outer' one?) and that changed it to 10kmh over. Where can i get another speedo drive unit from, one that will read right? Also, if I had 80/85 profile tyres on it(ie stockers), would this fix the problem?
