Good to see Weeribee aint changed that much :) Also nice to see a couple of the cars that are still around from when I was running my KE20. Need to suck up the the owner of the blue Corona (can't remember his name now) and get him to show you the coupe version that was hidden in his shed. I assume he still has it.....................

wmmh - seeing the top speed readout in my old mans Patrol. The GPS unit was showing a top speed of 325km/h!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and its a diesel. Take that Landcruiser owners :doublebird: The readout on the next screen gave a top speed of 223km/h......................

What he said................

Yep, was thinking this :yes: but you beat me to it.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR Kids have a Little Aths comp :bash:

Once its got the first stone chip you stop worrying ;) and Werribee dirt is easy to move :yes: not like the shit from the Ballarat airport........ Drivers window, been there done that - not as bad as a Porche Boxer driver who forgot to put his roof up. Filled his nice cream interior with mud.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR not happy not knowing this was on.................. >| Might of tried out the Grand Carnival while the missus wasnt looking. This is the only car I haved owned that hasnt done one at least one motorkhana course. Seriously, great to see you giving dirt a go, lots of fun and TCCAV put on a good relaxed event.

I was responding to a previous post. Sorry I wasted your time.........................

Thought a Datsun A series would be the choice to convert a Morris. Could possibly get a cable custom made. http://www.autocables.com.au/

Pfft, my car trailer had that much dish. 13x8's with the backing plates showing outside of the rim.

My ke20 was the same. Stock flywheel, reasonable bottom end and 7500rpm plus top end :) I say plus as thats where the shift light was set ans at times I was a little busy steering to take much notice..............

Thats not an engineer, thats just anal :P WGMG - driving 70km to pick up some furniture to only to find out that the missus had taken my bankcard from my wallet :( So I had to tow the trailer 280km just to pick up one cupboard....................................

Not hatin' Love the sound of a big cam and webers. Usually because it meant that they were easy pickins for me :) Big cams can also cause issues further down the driveline too. My Uncles FX had a huge cam, to the point that the throttle linkage needed to be changed as the motor rocking would cause the throttle to open and close. Anyway, the constant loping of the cam when running around town, loading and unloading things like the gearbox and diff, caused them to wear quickly. Then again, it was only an Opel gearbox in it though...................

Yep. As the old saying goes "Horsepower sells cars, torque wins races"

Sounds good but slow. Eg. 2 ke20's 1 - 5k with a mild cam revved well but no noticible drop in bottom end 2 - 4k with a big cam, compression etc. Cam would come in hard at around 4000rpm Which do you think was quicker????????? It wasn't the 4K. In every event enered, the milder motor ate the 4K with the same even with the driver. There was over a car length in it at the end of the 1/8th mile.

I'd back that up. You want drivability not big power at high revs. Big cam plus webbers will mean nothing until the cam and carbs start working together, then it will be wheel spinning, while someone with a more drivable combination will be disappearing up the road. Trust me, been there done that with KE20's. My less modded 5k would run away and hide from our big cammed, high comp 4k cause you could use what it had. The 4k would be waiting for it to come onto its cam, waiting, waiting, oh shit I'm facing the wrong way.

Feel you dude. Missus was scheduled for a procedure later this month, so race up to see the inlaws in Canberra. Get a call, can you come in early, we've rescheduled you. So instead of a nice relaxing time with the family, we need to rush around doing pre admission stuff over phones and coping abuse why the paper work isn't in yet. It isnt in as we had over a week after we got back to do it. You change the dates forcing us to cut our time short, then you deal with the fact that nothing is done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Funny thing that, most people gave me scotch this year. Wonder why :drinks:

Lasted till today at home. Opened the last of the kids pressies today.

So cool. Bugger the kids, I want one - but in red thanks ;)

Merry Christmas everyone. Still recovering from yesterday. The 5 kids were full on

Gastro......... and selfish parents There is a nasty bug getting around town, to the point where the decision was made to close and quarinteen the primary and special school on Thursday and shut the secondary school of Friday as well. Last night, a parent still sent her son to Little Aths even though he was crook. The kid was nearly throwing up during events. USE YOUR ʞ©$ɟING BRAINS!!!!! No one else wants their kids crook as well - keep him home for the night. Why risk infecting 100+ kids! I know sharing is caring, but no one wants gastro as a chissie present :rant:

Should of got a gooooood park

My old man did this to a truck. Got sick of the drivers complaining that it was slow and would only do 100km/h. Sent the speedo off and got the repair place to adjust it to read 10km/h higher than it actually was doing. Drivers were happy until they found out what he did 4 years later
