Clapped out

Pppppffffftttttt! if you get pulled over the fine will probably cost the amount of a new exhaust, ................shit, just buy a new exhaust buddy!

I'm in the same boat, ive never had a drama. Its entirely up to you cameron in which you decide, at least this thread has some very good points, ideas and opinions! cheers phatke30!

Just an idea fella, if you only need IG power to enguage the fan relay, you could always use the IG wire that powers the coil? its the only one i can think of in the engine bay. Ive used the IG coil wire (the one that comes out of the harness to power the coil) to run my fuel pump in a similar way, i still have the wire running directly from the harness to the coil and have just run a wire from the coil to the accessory I'm running (if that makes sense?), by doing this it hasnt dropped the voltage to the dizzy. As long as its to only enguage the relay and not power the fan. as for the AMM...............................? cheers phatke30!

Personally id just get a brand new stock fuel pump, even if your going to put a weber or similar on it, the stock pump will be more than sufficent, if your going to work the motor down the track and bolt twins to the side of it, if need so buy a new, more better pump then for the application. Just my opinion :lolcry: cheers phatke30!

hi there mate, any chance of some pics of the rust? just so that we can give you better advice, and yes (great suggestion tas ae71), let us know exactly what tools you have at your disposal to use, cheers phatke30!

I reconise this car now, you must have lived down the road from my olds house in kallangur?

where exactly is this suburb? Obviously on the sunny coast, Never heard of it?

I passed this blue rolla earlier this week crossing over the highway on d/bay road, tooted the horn and waved!

Be good to meet some sunny coast members. :)

it is...................... did you end up keeping any parts off the 2door?

Personally, id keep this old girl if your into rolla's, if not sell it to someone that will appreciate it and look after it, just my 2 cents worth, very tidy indeed! :lolcry:

Yeah ive heard of this being done before, although i can't confirm ive seen it on a rolla, what i do know is a mazda 121 master and booster fit straight up to a rolla, only modification is fabricating new brake lines from the master to the "T" piece on the firewall, i had this setup on my ke55 when i had it, also got a reco setup (mazda) sitting in the shed............somewhere, if ya interested I'm willing to sell it............cheap! cheers phatke30!

The damage doesnt seem to be that bad, what's bad is that its almost on every panel on the car, i hear back from insurance in the next couple of days.

My poor little 30 copped the hail! :y:

Fair enough, gives you something to think about :y: .

Personally (in my opinion), id go for the black instead of the chrome, the chrome wouldn't stand out that much up against the silver paint? just an idea! :y:

You must have spent a bit of time doing that, looks great! :y:

Wouldn't be a certain "lolla" by any chance?

If you think the car is worth it, cut all the rust out "literally" with a grinder, fabricate replacement steel plates and weld? alot of time doing the process although if sealed properly the rust will more than likely never re-appear, :y: cheers phatke30!

it must have a custom centre in your corty diff? ke55 rolla diff ratio is 4.11-1, thats low! Hate to think what would make it quicker off the mark?! lol!

Sounds like its really getting close to rego, I'm assuming your leaving the origional motor in the ke70?

Not having a go at you buddy, although id be putting this thread in general mechanical or automotive discussion first, finding out exactly what would suit your application and price range, there are a few options out there, just do a quick search and see what other people have done/used, (only a suggestion) cheers phatke30!

:no: , phat ke36 has a corty, its a piece of crap though! lol! will be checking it out! cheers phatke30!

The silver will look good as well! :no: The best thing is........by the looks of your rolla there seems to be next to no rust at all in this rig! great starting point, reduces preperation time. You should start a project thread on this thing and show us all every step of the way maybe? ps. what are the cortina's i see in the background like? cheers phatke30!
