SLO-030

Some progress from today. almost finished the worst rust in the car. Got Bored (pretty hard with all this work around) 3rd cyl, brokedn ring 4th cyl ate something nasty Yes, thats 2 pieces of piston ring jammed in there Anyone got any idea what this number is for? ID? (87778) positioned on the rear corner of the deck CHEERS Ryan

Wheels are off a SAAB 900. some have a 4x108pcd some have a 114.3 pcd. they are 15x5.5

The 6 in my ute did a HG. Welcome to the world of Cast Iron Inline 6 heads. Had 2 people to lift the sucker out. and I managed to put it back on alone. f@$kin thing is still missing and worse than before. now it wont idle either. Cruisin round in an RN85 till i fix it. the ol 22RC still goes like shit off a shovel

Sure you can. Get a little monkey with an oil can inside your engine to provide all needed lubrications :dance:

Wow man, good on ya. Might have a reason to come to Perth a little more often

the engine was only sitting there as i had to get out of the engine bay to get it from there to the ground. I will be getting the real number plates. but I'm not gonna worry bout that for a while. The vents are there. but the passenger side is the only one that actually does any venting. the part where the vent tube goes on the driver side is full of emmisions shit.

It will be the same as the setup that was goign to be in my ke30. SC12 off one side. Sucking fuel thru an SU style stromberg carburettor. This one will be running a serpentine belt drive on the entire engine this tim tho.

2nd and 3rd ones look great in my opinion. Id be happy with them. but thats just my opinion.

Hi guys I recently became the owner of this 81 KE38 wagon for a measely $400 Its got a factory 4K/4spd in it. It started off as a simple clean up and paint. And as with most projects i has snowballed enormously. As it stands the specs when it's done should be as follows. Engine: 4KZ (yes, it should finally get done) Fully rebuilt engine (fark sticking with a fully stock engine) Trans: KE70 4 or 5spd. Diff: Stock. Paint: Two Tone Silver and Black. Body Mods: Shaved passenger side lock. Shaved rear door handles. Shaved Rear side boot windows. Modified Tailgate handle assembely and possibly shaved lock. Interior: KE50 Tach dash, black retrimmed seats. fresh black carpet. silver (light grey) headlining and door skins. Here are some pics off my phone. there are more coming from Luc's phone to fill in all the gaps; Oh Hello Mr. Bog :P Good Bye Mr Bog :dance:, Hello Rust :P:( Started Sanding; Looky here, A weld. Interesting New Tailgate. Thanks for the tip off Mick :cool: Dents, but still better than rust. Got Bored, So i took the engine out. No help, No crane either :lol: Gearbox held up by 1x8mm bolt, a hose bracket and a Happy Happy Tie Down strap (again, thanks Mick :D ) Um yea, well heres why ya starter sounds f@$ked. Oh and a fubar'd spigot bearing. Thats it for now. more pics when i can get them off Luc.

WGMG: Headgaskets. especially on an engine where the head weighs 3 metric tonnes.

Indeed, but i was talking to him last week about the springs i supplied and he was talking about getting wider front tyres/wheels as the locker doesnt help with the understeer.

mmmmmMMMmmmMMMM Boooooost. Should be mental with double the boost up top. Hopefully wider front wheels reduce the understeer.

We have a 22R-C in a Hilux and it pulls harder than a schoolboy

I can't see it doing your battery any good. but whenever spring steel is welded at work its always with Diamond 5000S rods (stainless). after its been welded its run thru a tempering chamber. only after that is it suitable to be used as a spring.

yea mate. at the firewall. also helps to put a small hose clamp in front of the C clip. the C clips aparantly have a rep for coming off. the hose clamp will help stop it coming off. or atleas be there so you don't loose all control over the clutch if the C clip does come off.

ahahahaha, autos

Van goes over a bump and a whole side worth of bog just falls out.

Not to forget the better than 4A 86 potential :lovin:

i did that to an R31 that was sitting a few cm off my bumper. needless to say he backed right off. Mine sounded tough with what i thought was a big hole in the bottom of the muffler. it wasnt till we went to swap exhaust systems we found id blown the top seam right apart. so, any plans for the brown beast yet?

Its been done before. dunno how long its lasted tho.

Do you not get it? its still a PUBLIC ROAD. Doesnt matter which road you go and do it on. its still illegal. These days theres more likely hood that you'll get caught in an industrial area due to the po po cottoning onto it. if you wanna go do skids, take it to the track. if you wanna keep going on the street, its a matter of when not if you will get caught. especially those who post videos of this stuff Remember, Some people don't even need to be drifting to hill poles n shit.

Nice buy mate. Hopefully it doesnt have much/any tinworm Did anyone else notice the tacho dash? Hahahaha, i did the same thing to my ke30 muffler. some said it sounded pretty tough for a 4k.

I like your new setup better :lolcry:

That was actually a serious question. I'm sitting here going "HB??????" Too bad the car wont be ready for any cruises in the coming months. might organise one when its done.

Same here mate. I came here with no knowledge of corollas what so ever after snagging a ke25 for $200. now I'm up to my 3rd? one in 2yrs. And yes, you can ask a question and get a good informative answer. Oldholden.com is full of guys that know their stuff :lolcry: Just don't like the layout :lovin:
