SLO-030

a SC K engine is a REAL tight fit in a KE1x. So 4A-GZTE into KE10...... may the force (and clearance) be with you

If this is the one I'm thinking of, the kings look like they're for something else. not proper RA40 springs me thinks.

If thats all thats needed for the 3T-GTE swap then its all pretty straight foward. Gearbox = W5x (supra) Diff = T series (T18) Suspension = (front) XT130 struts with 86 inserts and higher rate spring. (Rear) New leaf springs with 1or 2 extra leaves, Half rebound leaf and 86 shocks. Brakes = (Front, using the XT130 strut) Corona/Celica/Cressida or Corona/Peugot/Hilux upgrades. (Rear) ST141 disc brake upgrade. You should be able to find all of the above in wreckers, forums, etc. Body strength = Seam welding and sub frame connectors. As long as its all done properly, it SHOULD satisfy the engineer. CHEERS Ryan

No wonder he had that affair, His missus wouldnt give him any till he stopped being a cockhead.

Spotted a Metallic Brown (stock colour) KE38 leaving UPI elizabeth as i rocked up, around midday.

Looking good man :dance:

Thanks 1JZke55 and Ryan, Had a bit of a road trip today. Ended at UPI elizabeth. Where i found a overrated condition drivers side guard. When I say "overrated" i mean, no dents, great condition chrome trim, not twisted. and most of all, NO RUST. None what so ever, not even surface rust. When i pulled it off and looked at the inside of it I almost died in shock. Just have to fill 1 hole as the 55 it came off of had long bumpers.

Hey Gambit, Just had a read of the thread you linked to. Please start a Rides thread here :dance: KE/TE 38's :y:

Yep :dance:

After working on a car for a day or longer, then taking it for a drive after is always a great reward :jaime:

Felix, That blue wagon looks MAD.

The whole dash is different. So unless you get a complete early 30 dash it wont work.

Looks wicked :y: Good to here things are moving along nicely. PM'd you too :dance:

Cheers Tally, Luc got some pics of the bay today in the sun. Looks Rad :dance: Can start mounting stuff like me MSD now. But now that the clear has been bought, just another Primer kit and thats the paint side of things sorted. Next on the list will be suspension so i can get it on some real wheels. Then engine, I can't wait for the mechanical side of things to get underway.

Yea, I seen it there and couldnt remember if someone on RC had it. I was in there with all me work clober on looking for 5spds for a mates mate.

I was in my One Tonner, parked a little closer to the checkouts that you. I was in and out of all the rollas :dance:

Sounds like an Awesome day :y: can't wait for pics of the half cage :dance:

Punchy111 :dance:

yeah pics would be good ay!! erm approx 2 kg of resin will treat 9 square metre i think so lining will probably weigh in at around 4 kg. i'll be running so steel accross the roof with holes in it. and molding clips into the lining to ensure it stays up there. oops just realised i'm on ryans account.!

FX eh? Was that you at Lonsdale UPI on friday? there was an FX-GT in the carpark as well as another white 82.

I think it looks wicked with the silver wheels it has now. IMO painting them a different colour will "crowd" the wheels with too many colours.

I've seen this done to a couple utes here in Aus. Using a turbo suited to a smaller engine helps with the lag apparantly.

Shit like that nakes me wanna kick people in the face. "Hi, I saw a car on the side of the road broken down, He must've been hooning around"

I know the stalk and the box you will definatly need but maybe the whole underdash loom is needed?

I went in there back when i had my KE25 after seeing a sign for cheap tyres. Guys were more than helpful in finding something for me. Walked out with 2 95% tread yokies for $30. (just street tyres)
