Luke..... i kno!!! why don't you come help me??? :D cheers!!
do you have the 4age??
cos if you do and we can test fit i'll bring a set of my mounts i make for the ke30/55 and see if they either fit/ can be modified!
if you help me out with this then i will give you a set for free.
man you have got some skill!!
by DIY do you mind me asking what its cost ya?
cos i'll be getting one from toymods for 550!! exxy but i haven't got the skillz...
maybe i should get a tig?
don't take this the wrong way.... but for a k motor....
this thing a sick!!! awesome work! almost makes me wanna ditch the 4a 20v and go for a nice torquey 7k with a carb setup like that!!'
love it!
small update.
finally got my set of mounts and stuff made. kept making em and then selling em.
also got a wicked distribution block for my loom. its got 2x 4 guage inputs and 8x 8 guage outputs!
also got some velocity stacks on their way from japan.
also started pulling motor down for freshen up and blueprinting. was shit scared as i've never worked on this type of motor but yeah was easy as.
quite interesting learning curve for me.
still need to get head off need the tool!
i got a good quote for having the rods pistons and crank balanced. $200. so that'll be happening very soon...... money permitting!
cheers, Luc
hmm iw ould suggest to many people not to trust profix to do your exhaust! dodgy quality and very expensive compared to a proper shop
like well hung exhausts
man this is too much!
i can't beleive that some of you guys are getting so worked up over it.
It's the internet who cares about post counts? i wouldn't have a clue what mine is nor do i care?
at the end of the day we all share a passion for corollas and enjoy having a place to show off our cars or learn stuff.
does off topic and spam thread really affect your day to day lives?
i mean if someone in QLD says he doesn't like me or posts something silly i don't go around during the day feeling crap about myself.
this is supposed to be a community start acting like one!
hmmm well i rang christies beach toyota and they ckecked aus for any and said none.
also current orders and nil.
he reckons most likely japan wont have any either and they'll probably have to make it.
ahk well nah i don have those sorta funds. so yeah.
i rang toyota and they are 86.70 but they need to order thru japan so shipping is about $40 and there will be a three month wait.
not bad really for a brand new one.
small update!
gonna try and do small things after work
might make it get ready for paint quicker.
anyways drilled and removed battery tray bracket, coil bracket, and coolant tank bracket.
and welded all the holes.
don think many people here ar gonna be all jumping at the fact you wanna trash a good condition ke.
you should buy a rundown one and farked one before you go and wreck a perfectly good one.
sell it to me?
speak for yourself!!!.............
nah your right i can't afford it but i'm doing it!
welcome man! try toymods.net and also club4ag.com for more info!
also even twincam.org
why not stay with k motor? cos mounting anything bigger than a 4a is gonna be really hard work!
but......
maybe build a turbo os SC 7k to tune of say maybe 180rwkw? then that way for peace of mind you could get a w series box attached to it? that should fill the tunnel out and still kepp the bay looking like semi original?
