SLO-030

Sounds like the project is finally moving ahead :y:

Due to the mainshaft (i think) being longer in the K50, people say it may be more easier to break. But as i said to Canna earlier today, I drove my 4K-H and K50 combo like a mad man sometimes. Ripped skids and did some impressive standstills and didnt have a problem. I think its like everything, soemtimes you get something assembled from the factory and its a piece of crap. Other times you can get something from the factory and have it last the distance. Like some corolla diffs, some have been able to kill them with a 3k. Others have put 160rwkw thru them and they've taken the punishment (13BT KE20)

Just a question, could you possibly take a photo under the dash? curios to find out how the clutch mechanism works (clutch cable being on the right hand side and the pedalbox on the left) CHEERS Ryan

Yeap, K40's and K50's bolt straight up. There are two shifter positions on the K40's and K50's. The ke30/55 have a foward shifter position and the Ke70 gear boxes have the shifter about 3 inches further back. The ke10/20's have a shifter position further foward than the ke30/55's. Not sure on the starlet shifter position tho :y: I know swapping from a ke30/55 K40 to a KE70 K50 the mounts are different. Hope this helps mate.

Ive got a 2 spoke ke30 one here if your interested. PM if you are.

MAN, that looks fkn bad ass just sitting there. Would love to see this in the flesh. I'm south of Adelaide aswel Good Luck with the build CHEERS Ryan

My 4k had blown the gasket around EVERY exhaust port. I found that when i did the HG. But It was due to my diff hitting an squashing up the exhaust where it passed over.

nope

I know what it was like ay. I'm sitting there in an ol skool one tonner and everything else (almost) is jap. Although there was a fully sick VN 5Lt that took off without any pics.

I bought a Compaq laptop at the start of Jan last yr and it runs Vista. within 6 months i was having troubles with it freezing up within 10mins of use unless you ran it on safe mode and not being able to start in some cases. I started using the family comp which has XP and i havent had a problem with it since. Just pulled the laptop back out and am about to format it and chuck XP on it. Going by what others have said, it seems as my laptop is severely underpowered to be running vista.

ahhh nuuuu. Sad to see the demise of yet another rolla. Glad to hear both you and your passenger are alright. CHEERS Ryan

Welcome Daivd, godd to see you found corolla haven :)

Spotted a KE20 approx 4:40pm this arvo on park terrace. look in pretty average condition RGN-XXX plates Red *E7* sedan at the intersection of park tce and phillip highway. had primer around the rear bumper, lowered, bit of camber and a loud exhaust. Beigy *E7* wagon on Pt Wakefield rd turning onto salisbury hwy.

ya know i been on the hunt for a while now mick :) shall mezzage ya :)

Thanks mate just the stuff i need to get me motivated again. :) Haven't go access to the car this week but hopefully i can use this time to follow up a few leads on a powerplant. just paid off my 2nd fine so i'll let the bank recover again and hopefully get stuck into once again.

Yes, i know its a public forum where things are put up for discussion but I'm seriously tired of people calling it a waste of time. Yes, to some of you it is. But i enjoy it and thats all that matters. So please, if your just gonna sit there and call it a waste of time, money etc. please keep your comments to yourself. CHEERS Ryan

If its such a waste of time, why waste your time posting in here? Ive already said why I'm not going to stick an 8 in my ute and with the new laws coming into SA apparantly i wont be able to drive a V8 till I'm 25. Have you seen some of the burnout cars out there? Go ask the owner how much time and money went into it, then ask them if they think it was a waste of money. I don't wanna be ripping skids in my daily, i use it to get to work and don't wanna fark it up and get in the shit with the 5-0. I've had enough of them for the time being. Ive said it before, if your just gonna sit there and critisise and say nothing even remotely constructive then GTFO.

i have some pm me for details

Top stuff guys, keep it up

yeap,photo chopped

Spoted a ke30 this arvo around 4pm, waiting to turn onto south road from chandlers hill rd. was olive green with a ke30 grill like i had. pretty mintah nick too. (from what i saw)

Spotted a rusty ke55 thursday morning at about 7:54 tuning onto port rd heading towards the city.

id use a T50 no mater what, i don't think i'd trust a K50 behind anything more than a K engine

far left one :y:

As i said in another thread (possibly yours) the manual and auto crossmembers are diffrerent as is the cross member position. Auto X member has 4 small bolts whereas manual Xmember has 2 big ones Auto X member is further back than the manual one.
