  1. 3645 \o/ for deuterium powered warp karts :KY:
  2. thats still a corolla.... ish :KY:
  3. uh, initially to the young guy... but asked another quick Q of the old guy... might go there tomorrow with the old Holley carb ive got lying around and ask him what it is/if it'll do :KY: and yeh, bob was a top bloke.. really helpful.. and yeh, he said january at least to me too ;) *edit* i went back today with the Holley carb i've got sitting in my garage, and the young bloke said it's a 180 generally used on the 2L Pinto, and pretty much the same as a webber, and only $200ish to rebuild it... so i think i might use it. when you got a chance rob, i wanna ask you if the manifold it's on looks like it's for a 4K... cheers ;)
  4. that is f@$king horrible... but truthfully ive wondered about the intercooler thing... so how different is cold air intake to do?
  5. thats a damn nice ke55... those rims and that paint job is horn :blinks: oh... and thats a mighty large snail thar....
  6. *nudge* :blinks:
  7. pedders ownz all :blinks: :)
  8. 1 4m t3h 5uckz0r a7 dr1v1ng :-) but seriously, I'm on the other end, always had RWD's so even though it can get hairy, i like to *coughstepitoutcough* have fun now and again :) :blinks:
  9. i want invisible paint too... then t3h k0pz karn7 s33 m3 sp33d pa5t e|\/|
  10. mmmm, simmons :blinks:~````
  11. hahahahah sucker :) ahh well least yeah car probably runs a bit better :blinks:
  12. mmmhm.... d'ya still want it? :blinks:
  13. yerp was a good, even if we just sat round talkin :blinks: nick is a K50 4 or 5 speed?
  14. ok well i changed this post because ive changed my mind after going to talk to some experts today (tues 28th) i went to frawley's and the guy there, old fella named Bob was really helpful and knows his shit... he's going to do some calculations etc but what i think I'm going to go with is a full standard rebuild, getting a mild regrind on my 5K cam and putting that in, plus boring the head etc ,10:1 compression, and if it fits we'll put a 5K crank in it as well to up the capacity a bit and give some more nice low end accelleration & torque :-) i also went to carb-tech and spoke to one of the guys there, and he said that for what i want, its most likely better to go with a 32/36 downdraft weber. though i might take the Holley i;ve got up to him and find out what it is, if it'd work with my specs etc so, finally i've gotten the ball rolling :) :greenclap: :blinks:
  15. pm me why not :blinks:
  16. shite, that WAS f@$king close man :/ find another nice seca and start again maybe?
  17. heh nah, it sounds like a cool option, cause I'm not out to make the shagon a power monster, i just want it to have a decent amount of poke, and look stylish (read pimp :blinks: ) while it's doing it... and also be functional for things like going camping, and road trips etc :)
  18. shit man, thats not good to hear... hope yeah ok :blinks:
  19. ahh cool... the sedan i sold had a 5K in it, it was a nice little engine for only 1.5L had some damn nice torque :blinks:
  20. ok now what monster is a 7K-E ? but yes, i like the idea of a nice Weber/Holley or twins, spose something like twin solex or etcetera?
  21. o0o i don't remember putting notification on heh :blinks: hey, um.. the track hire thread has gone missing man, and long posts aren't being wrapped.. what'ya reckon the 4K-E would cost roughly?
  22. sounds good... i'll see if i can make it :blinks: meet some of you guys and regail you with my unknowingness :)
  23. hahahah that looks mad shit :) ok fellas, I'm starting to get ideas flowing for the shagon... so i think i might ship the engine off somewhere to get played with and rebuilt. think i might go for a Tighe cam, since ive heard how good they are. dunno wether to get my spare (it's from a 5K, so it should fit, right?) reground, or get them to make one or pick one they stock... of course i havent called up for prices etc, plus i don't know about what different grades of cam do what to engine power/drivability/hornyness :) etc then i'll source a 5 speed and a heavy duty clutch, cause the one in it (was replaced not long before i bought it) is light as f@$k and i hate light clutches, the one in my old ke70 was nice and heavy, and well, the one in the XC... :D then i don't know wether to get the Holley carbie i've got laying around rebuilt and use that, or get twins of some description. apparently 4K's can go nicely with an EFI setup, but i don't think my budget can extend to that if i want to get ANY bodywork done. SO any helpful hints, as always would be tops :) matt :blinks:
  24. heh thats what i think :D it seems as if i might've scored a mirrorball, and if i have, then i think i might proceed with the pimp interior *mmm, faux leopard print* :blinks: :greenclap: :)
  25. so are we meaning this weekend as in 25th/26th or next weekend as in 1st/2nd? if so cool, I'm not working next weekend and might rock up :blinks:
