13BT_KE20

:bash: yeah i know, ive got another rotary which is at the other end of the scale (ported, big turbo, etc etc) but to me it sounds like a stock 13B with an exhuast and a weber will keep this guy happy for a fair while, when it doesnt a stock turbo will. Both reliable set-ups when looked after and tuned correctly

really only means we have quantity, not neccassarily quality lol

finally somebody with a little bit of sense........ atleast the car will still handle reasonably well, a rotor is like any other engine. If well maintained you shouldnt have any problems with it, especially is relatively stock form

not yet mate, been having a few problems with the brakes, keep loosing pressure. Pretty sure ive fixed it now, just need to bleed the brakes again (for the 4th time in less than a week :bash: ) Ill take it for a quick spin to test the brakes, if there all good ill drive to the workshop tonight and roll the guards. Stereo and fuel guage will be done shortly after. As for checking the fuel, ill i do is fill up the tank before going for a drive :doh:

mini cruise next w/e?

I'm keen for a set, anybody else? Group buy maybe?

that would be because a hilux is HEAPS better mate :wink:

GOOD UPDATE! nice power/torque increase, bet its more fun to drive now = ]

sounds like this is going to be a great day out

met a nice girl on wednesday, so yesterday i knew she was working all day s i found out where she works (took about 20 phones calls) and surprised her by showing up to her work with a hand full of roses.

sorry i didnt mate it to help out, didnt pull up to well after a night in town

diff hits the floor at standard height, if i lowered my car even 1/2 inch at the rear the diff would be mm away from the floor

Redwarf-225lbs front springs, would this be ideal for a street car (like mine), i want a stiffer ride but don't want it ROCK solid. Its more a hills/track car but i still want to be able to cruise it would crunching my spine

kings springs actually have previsions to chop them........ if you look closely at the spring there will be a tiny notch 1 coil doown from the top, this the where you cut IF you so choose too You need to get a pic of the car in better light so show off the wheels, they look pretty good though I'm keen on a few parts from that "rust bucket" if your willing to sell them, ill PM you

chopping springs just isnt worth it when you consider the cost of a pair of kings springs ($120) the rear you can either get the leafs reset, Ryan's group buy has bargain prices for these or you can simply flip the top leaf without making the ride to "bouncy"

NOICE!!! ill give ya another run, no soft launches for me anymore :)

I'm interested to see ow much my car weights now with all the "additions" Hopefully get it on a weigh bridge soon and ill let you guys know, for comparison

with this much notice people can make arrangements to be free even of they orginally had plans :)

thank your lucky stars! last time i went to regency the repair costs to get it "roadworthy" again were over $1G, its unheard of for a car to pass the first time too, so your up for the inspection cost twice

bought it in the group buy that was run through rollaclub a while ago (about 6 months ago i think it was). Group buy of about 10 from memory, made in the US. "LINDSAY" organised it, maybe shoot him a PM :cool:

depending on how i pull up from my night in town friday and may be able to come lend a hand on saturday.

no need to be sorry mate, its not your car, ive build it for me and nobody else. Havent really driven it far enough yet to know, but something will definitely need to be done about it. The stiffer leaf springs should help though

cheers for all the kind words guys, I'm really happy with how the car is turning out. for sure ben, there a few burnout comps ive got my eyes set on coming up soon more power will come once ive sorted all the other things like the front brakes/suspension, redoing the exhaust and wiring in the stereo and additional guages first up is getting the rear guards/lips rolled then, drive it to the workshop to get the gearbox crossmember modified so i can raise the exhaust, then the front suspension/brake get done straight after definitely wider at the rear, from the short drive ive taken it on it definitely helps keep the car a little straighter under boost/wheelspin the wheels are here to stay! sleeper FTW!!! haha yeh custom plates the diff has been shorten to suit a S1/2 RX7 so the overall width was 1415mm, which is almost 100mm wider than a stock KE20 diff hence the positive offset rims. The diff came up for sale at the right time/price and with the ratio and stud pattern i wanted and i already had the rims lying around. It ended up working out perfectly really. So it has been shortened but not really to suit a KE20. A long time down the track (who knows how far I'm going to go with this car, look where OKE020 started :cool: ) the rear end might get tubbed and the diff made ALOT shorter and run some dished rims, but then thats really moving away from the sleeper look at the car was originally built to
