  1. That's awesome! And scary at the same time!
  2. Ask the social worker for information about VPTAS (patient transport assistance scheme). Hopefully you live more than 100kms from the hospital, if so you are eligible. I’ve attached the link, and you can get hard copy forms from the social work dept https://www2.health.vic.gov.au/hospitals-and-health-services/rural-health/vptas-how-to-apply Provides reimbursement of travel costs and contributes to accom costs. You do have to pay upfront then claim reimbursement but it does help. You may also be able to get a discount parking voucher from social work also. Ask the ward clerk to chase them up for you.
  3. Not good. Fingers and toes and everything else are well and truly crossed. At least you are in the right place, and she will be treated and cared for amazingly well.
  4. I reckon they would contribute to your overall downforce
  5. Can I google Kahili Blundell at work. I don't know who she is
  6. That’s a great looking car! Hopefully the paint isn’t hiding too much. What’s a MAACO paint job?
  7. If they have faded that quick, I would wonder if anything will help? Pwrhaps worth chatting to Toyota Heritage. They have a range of lenses made I gather to a higher standard, and there must be a market with all the 70 series getting around. See if Gary will do a run of them. They presumably wouldn’t be so cheap, but there is a reason these are so cheap
  8. There is one getting around in Melbourne that was imported from Japan. The guy also rallies a converted local car. Mind you, we TE27 owners tend to sniff at TE37's as the somewhat inferior cousin to our thoroughbred's But then, as mine is still a shell and boxes and boxes (and yet more boxes) of parts, perhaps I shouldn't be quite so judgemental..... In reality they are probably somewhat rarer.
  9. Google his name. I understand if you pickup in person and can view before you pay, he is ok.
  10. If that’s Gordon Cross you might want to think twice. More a Celica guy though. The answer to your question is no. Keep an eye on the usual suspects on eBay in Spain and UK but expect to pay lots.
  11. It will run poorly and you will struggle trying to get small enough chokes. You need to dramatically increase the airflow to make it work. This was a thread I posted years back with some suggested settings on various applications. I can’t open the thread, not sure why, but if you can it may help
  12. I dot know. But need more info - cam, compression, porting, valve size etc.
  13. And don’t put stupidly wide tyres on it
  14. I’m sure it has been discussed previously, not necessarily in a KE30 but the concept is the same no matter what. You will have to search the forum for the threads. May be easier searching in google but add rollaclub to the search terms for forum specific threads edit: and when you find it, add a link to it here so it’s easier to find next time
  15. Another thought, if you were on mars with zero gravity, would you even need an oil pump?
  16. I’m thinking higher rpm is the exact opposite of where you would be going. My trusty 2T in my TA22 years back was struggling, but after a can of slick 50 it was reinvigorated. It was smoky and not good beforehand, and great for years afterward. But oil pressure in a can? I can’t see it holding up for long. Welcome back by the way
  17. Not sure where you are, or if they are the same, but a 92 model has gone into pickapart Kilsyth today
  18. Currently on eBay https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F323483320718 You may find he will accept an offer of $95.
  19. Rear guards usually require refabricating inside the guard.
  20. I should add, after a speed event we would swap the spring back so the second Venturi only opened as per factory, or you lose flexibility for around town driving.
  21. I assume that’s the old “swap the spring from one side of the diaphragm to the other” trick. I’d forgotten all about that. We used to do that back in the 80’s club racing days. But soon it was a slippery slope to twin side drafts Ah the memories!
