HIGH ROLLER

Jason, Any progress on your beast? any pics? people will flip out when it's finished.. MM

Great looking car there Co-rolla.... post up some more pics if possible, this is eye candy! MM

PORRRNNN!!! what a beast, good to see it's in the works... is the motor in yet? More pics!! MM

WTF! This thing looks awesome! can we have some more pics of the outside and interior? Cheers, MM

can u get some pics up of the engine bay? MORE PICSS!! haha keep rollin

looking good keith! keep up the good work, will look sick when it hits the streets. MM

That Strut brace looks awesome Mick, i bet it feels good polishing it....hahaha "wax on...wax off." This car looks better ever time i see a new picture. Keep up the great work Mick, you're work and ideas are inspiring. Cheers, Mark M

Awesome '74 Nino, such a clean car, colour looks fantastic & i bet that motor goes like a shower'o'shit! Can't wait for more pics (especially of the te70/4ag).. Cheers, Mark

Nice ride mate, could you post some pics up of the diff setup? Good to see more turbo 20's coming out of the woodwork. Cheers, MM

Thanks champ, it sure will haul ass when it's done. I'm going with a GT30/76R (0.48 rear housing)....boost will be kept at around 15psi, untill i rebuild the motor to handle more...then the goal is around 28psi... Beerhead, I'm not building a second motor yet :) ....i am using what's in there, for now! in the future, when it comes to rebuilding for more power (and reliability at high boost) I may rebuild a second motor so as not to have the hassle of the car being out of action (without a motor). THE BOTTOM LINE is that i'd rather wait for what i want, then settle for something that's NOT what i want or something that every other person THINKS i should be doing. A small turbo with small boost and "good enough" isn't what i want... "Life's too short to be small" - Max's protein shake slogan. Thanks to everyone for their support, this is my last post untill the car is running.

Gday there mitch, i really love this '20...white, whitewalls, venetians...everything you need, and nothing you don't! well done with it champ, keep us posted. Mark M

Well done Jono, f*ck the heater, stupid thing weighs too much anyway...no1 will notice You can legally get around removing the heater by buying these "hair-dryer" type things....basically switch-operated airflow from under the dash just blows air up the inside of the windscreen, hot-rodders use them alot. Keep it up Jono, Mark M

Lookin good Micky! that mesh is pimpin', and the oil lines look heaps neat. keep it up, Marky-mark

Guess who's back? just got back from Italy on tuesday arvo. Rolla will be rollin' into the workshop on sunday to begine work to get her on the road. will keep you posted with any major news.... Cheers, Mark M

as far as I know, mine has the specs: Big Port 8:1 comp NO oil squirters Air Flow Meter (getting a microtech with MAP anyway) beefy H-Beam Rods ceramic topped pistons? which variant being better is a matter of opinion, as 8:1 comp & big ports are more boost friendly... :hmm: tho it would be nice to have oil squirters, and slightly better rods & pistons... it doesnt bother me, my plans are to rebuild it before i throw bigger boost at it anyway. plans include: Oil squirter block Big port head New Rods Forgies (still 8:1) All I can say is that any of the 4AGZEs are a sh*t load stronger than alot of other factory turbo motors. Cheers, Mark M

Haha, Micky you know I wanna come...but i'm scared to break something on the charade again... might hit it again, see how it pans out. Cheers, Mark M

haha not to mention a sh*t load simpler...only tuning tools you need is a screwdriver and a straight road! haHAHA Good job champ, looking Carb-tastic... So u carbing up? on a high-carb diet? hahaha ok, enough with the carb jokes...just had to humour myself. Cheers, Mark M

Hi champ, nah it's a t-50 'box....hoping to upgrade to a w-5# later on when power destroys the t50...hahaha Jono - it sure is, big port with 8.0:1 compression....will be doing away wih the dizzy very soon though, moving to DLI/CAS with igniter box and quad-coils running off a Microtech... Cheers, Mark M

Some pics: Old rear-end VS. New rear-end Motor & Gearbox, no clutch/flywheel inside: Cutting & welding firewall "bump": Mounting motor & Gearbox: Motor sits slightly too high as the rubbers on the mounts are too big...no big deal... ENJOY!

hmmm wouldn't want moisture getting into your precious metal... either way, I LUV IT! are you giving it the pinstripe treatment? cheers, Mark M

Gday mate, great job on the install, that thing would sound like an absolute demon!! lovin those carbs... keep up the good work & keep the pics comin! Cheers, Mark M

Hi all, ok, wheel spacers on & car is rolling... Motor & 'box is in... My computer is stuffed so will have the pics tommorow. the rolla is now on hold until i get back from ITALY!! :dance: flying out on the 29th April, and getting back on 28th May... Have the car booked in for when i get back, to start work straight away, probably fuel system and Microtech will be first on the list. Cheers, Mark M

Sweet, battery is the least of my worries at the moment... Have purchased some wheel spacers to fix the tyre/leaf rubbing problem from Repco. will be cutting and reverse welding the "bump" on the firewall on saturday morning. also hoping to have the motor/box mounted & some accessories on. Thanks for the support and advice everyone, it keeps me geed to finish! Cheers, Mark M

Sweet, thanks Jono...you're always a great help. You cut it with a jigsaw?? haha Do you have any mopre pics on the progress? did you just weld it back in? Cheers, Mark M

Yeah thats ok, i'll be removing the heater unit anyway... It sounds like i'll be cutting and welding this weekend then aye? haha
