SLO-030

Vernier calipers with a dial readout?

Why would you go to the trouble of doing the old battery into boot then run the cables so close to your exhaust. I've done 1 or 2 conversions and the cables to even need to go ANYWHERE near the exhaust. :jamie: Hell, even in a KE1x the cables didnt even need to be exposed to the underbody until the engine bay.

Spotted who I thought was JasonKE30. Turned out not to be. Had the same wheels and colour. Different grille and no rust holes tho. Also a pretty good condition KE30 at regency tafe today. Gold meshies too. Looked awesome. And a couple twinkies here and there.

Hush Hush KE1x-2x meet, or so i recall.

Lookin good Woz and Josh. Come to adelaide so i can steal your rear bar :)

Yep, its a bigg'n. was able to keep the half of the inner guard and flare all in one piece. which made it easy. Will be ordering a fresh sheet of 1mm mild steel to roll up the inner guard and the rear 1/4. May even use the old flared guard as a template and roll new steel flares too :)

Extreme weight reduction much? Should be awesome when I can do the micro tubs (smaller job than mini tubs) I reckon 245-255's under the bum will look horn. I'm gonna mock up the wagon with 235's to see what it looks like :) Adam, Yep. That's my 38. Shares the stable with Luc's 55 and a KE11 :D

Panda E38 :) Luc stripped back the tailgate as we are hopefully getting a panel beater to work his wonders on the cars in the near future. I didnt do much (if anything) on thw wagon this weekend. Although i did almost complete the chassis welding of the 55, mutilating Luc's flares and pulling apart then dumping a few 4k's

275's Om Nom Nom

Fair enough, maybe chop and repair? Remember the gutters are actually the seam/join for the side and roof of the car. I ended up making new sections for mine as they had bog in them and some parts were only holding on by the bog.

Nice colour change there !! No work on the beast this weekend, spent most of it getting Luc's 55 down to the workshop. Hopefully i'll have some new bits and pieces by next weekend.

Leave the gutters mate. I had the same thoughts with my 38. They create a nice border for the top of the doors. If you do decide to remove them, make sure you have some real good door seals :)

Like the stone cutters handshake?

OOOoooOOOooooOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH yea, very nice.

Cheers Adam, I must admit, your TE38, matte black with meshies looks unbelievably tough :)

Picked up the 5K from Mick yesterday. Plans so far for it are Acid Dip Bore and Hone +20thou Deck both the block and the head ACL rebuild Kit, along with new pistons. Rather lumpy cam, around 282 duration as suggested by Mick. Fully balanced bottom end, with a slightly lightened flywheel. Wanna build it to see high compression. I've seen what Philbey's is like with 13.? :1. So maybe around the 12:1 mark? Might send the block off to get Acid dipped, bored and honed in the next couple of weeks. Full mechanical work wont start untill the body is finished and the suspension has been taken care of.

Spotted Tally and said Hiace van.

Soft :cool: I had a think about it and i think there is a difference in the extractor/inlet flange thickness, hence the leaks across all ports. Got the right idea though, get them faced together :)

2 cammed 5K KE36/8's hitting the street very soon :) Might also wanna get in touch with Henry (KE20me) i think he's had experience with rotor > corolla conversions. And If memory serves me right, he also did the original mounts in Ryan's 20.

Wont be able to make them larger. Axles are 1 piece.

I could imagine, would sound interesting on acoustic for sure :) I seen how hard that shit is on guitar hero :cool:

Kangaroosa, your 30 looks soo good :) , From what I could hear when i rang, Mick was in heaven. also, One by Metallica = Awesome.

XT130 struts, VB-VP integral hub rotors and a pair of SW13B Hilux calipers and your set. RA40 steering arms, KE30/55 spring hats/ strut tops and its all bolt in. All that would be left it to convert to coilover or have a spring made to suit the Corona perch and KE spring hat.

Better make up your mind wether your selling or not. Mods find EOI = locked.
