yeah joined the fordlaser forum, guy on there has one in his escort so i asked him how he went about things and told me about that :) just can't wait for my cousin to move down here so i can rip the 4k and box out to start on the conversion :blush:

i see this car all the time, it's local to me.

Worked out the thermostat problem. Under the timing cover there's a big welsh plug and 2 bolt holes for where the mx5's run there thermostat. So all I gotta do is get an mx5 thermostat housing and block of the hole on the back of the head

i got the red re30 2 doors sedan with the supercharged v8 on video in the grass events :D also went it looked at it after to notice it had 265 wide rear tyres in standard guards :)

Yeah I'll have another talk to my cousin about it. He won't be starting on the car untill his moved back down here now. But that won't be to much longer. Also found some number plates for it. Thinking of grabbing them now so they can't get taken on me lol

main reason for wanting to remove the gutters is because they are rusted out and filled almost flat with bog lol. and i also am looking into getting new seals throughout the whole car also anyways.

what's everyone's thought's on removing the gutters? also thinking of replacing the front seat's with some race bucket's and fit in some 4 point harness's so i can be held in nice and tight for some track work. also any body have any idea if it's legal to move the battery to the back of the wagon? would be a sealed battery and in a battory box ofcourse.

Just getting a forward facing plenum made up to suit rwd. Going to use one of my xf tb's that I have laying around. And also getting a fuel rail made up to suit 14mm o-ring injectors. The factory ones suit 11mm o-ring. Gotta get mx5 ignition setup. And need to get a 90 degree fitting made up for the thermostat fitting in the back ofthe head. The mx5's are in the front of the head.

ok everyone, finally got around to putting the pics i took of the wagz while i was in canberra onto my photobucket. here they are :D

going to be doing adjustable coilovers for the front of ke3x/5x?

did you notice how many of the old corolla's at the nat's had the c5 wheels on them? same as what was on my old blue wagon?

Ok will have to got try that when I get my license back. So will let everyone know what it is mid 2011 :D

any updates on this? nice clean wagon, love it :dance:

my first corolla was a one owner ke20 for $650 with 6 months rego. i ended up selling it for $200 as a shell :wink: now when i look for one they start at like 2grand for one that was worse then mine and unregoed :hmm: my first ke30 was $600 no rego or rwc with a fully worked 4k, 5 speed and locked diff. bought it from the local wreckers. next was a ke36 for $1,500. 5k, 4 speed, mags, prelude front seats, exhaust and rego. now i got a ke36, $500, 4k with 3k head, 4 speed, different front seats, exhaust, painted phantom purple. has a bit of rust though

i'd be keen on rack and pinion setup for ke36 and 3/4 link rear end :wink:

Yeah I can't wait. And having the spare block now I'm thinking of leaving the complete as is and get it all in and running then rebuild the spare block instead. Also got a mate that's going to fix up the plenum for me for free so it suits rwd :P so I might start saving up for a gearbox now. And gotta try and work out something for where the the top radiator hose connects to the rear of the head.

Picked up the engine. The guy also gave me another spare block for free so pretty stoked with that :lolcry:

Yeah it's a jet ski. My uncle has a mod chip on it also so it has more power. He wants to put a bigger cooler on it so it'll stay on boost longer. They run boost for a certain amount of time then they get to hot so they cut the boost off. His going to take me for a spin on the back sometime soon :lolcry:

Boat's the closest so far :lolcry: it's a 3 seater

Yeah. But you do see a fair few people saying they don't make turbo engines. Hint it's not in a car :lolcry:

hey. just thought this was pretty awesome. honda 4 cylinder 1.5 litre turbo. factory forged internals, 16psi factory boost :S see who can guess what it comes in first.

that's it :S shall be an awesome car to drive for when i get my license back :) can't wait to get to work on it.

just got this engine for the corolla :S mazda bp motor. this one has come out of a 1990 tx3 laser, 1.8L twin cam 16v. going to rebuild it and turbo it before it goes into the corolla. would like to thank curly for the idea of the b series mazda engine :)

sounds good mate :S by the way, i'm coming up to canberra on thursday for the nats, will be there till monday :)

Cars coming down to wodonga next month as my cousin's moving back down here so I'll be able to actually work on it then ;)
