SLO-030

i seriously don't think the cop would have cared if i told him not to. probably just found more shit to dump upon my walet.

nah, was an older guy in his late 40's- mid 50's. Spoke as if he was above the law. Lets all make some fake complaints about this certain officer. just like the complaint that drew the attention of police to me in the first place. Ive been pursuaded to make a compliant. Yea, the thought of doing it just to stick it up them. but so far, ive had enough trouble with this one. You splelled it write :D Ive been told that as long as it is registered its fair game. Its just not the done thing to walk into someones back yard or workshop to defect a car. Think I'm gonna bide my time, wait for a ke38 to pop up. wont see the road till its all nice and clean, NON cop attracting. Chuck in a Built 5K or 5KZ. 5spd. 15" steelies with trim rings. lowered to the same height as my ke30. and proceed to drive like a grandpa.........YEAH.......RIIIIIIGHT XD

I think i might make a complaint when i can get some time. I was told, when a complaint is made and there is proof ( which i unfortunatly don't have) the force will actually put them behind a desk for 2 weeks. Rolla getting trailered tonight down to lonsdale. Will comence parting out friday.

Well Hung Exhausts (08) 8186 2880 10 Christie Rd Lonsdale SA 5160 and at the same address is Production Line Spares (GMH specialists) Although there is some good old spec speed gear there. (wheels, guages etc) 10 Christie Rd Lonsdale SA 5610 (08) 8326 3033 I would Post my mechanics details but he is usually pretty flat out and I'm gonna need to get the ute down there some time soon :)

Yea. on the paper work the stuff he's written down says hes a senior ʇ~~ɔstable.

Thats what i don't like. And thats what deters most people from actually making a complain. Thats how cops get away with the stuff they do. Cars being parted out. Check the thread in vehicles wrecking.

oh well, I'm just gonna pay the $203 fine. Part the car out and start fresh.

I'm not sayin cus I'm a nice kid he should turn a blind eye. I totally accept that the car is defectable. I'm not disputing that. I'm actually suprised the tyres have lasted as long as they have. I'm just annoyed at the fact i was polite and showed him every bit of respect. yet he treats me like scum, calls my car a piece of shit and pretty much says I'm a liar. No wonder people have the attitude that they do towards the cops. I will still have respect for the next cop that wants to pull me over. Jeez, i've actually pulled over and waited for one car to pull me over a lil while ago. only wondering why i was driving on defect. which i was within the 72hr limit.

I've been told by mate what colour this will be, if what I'm told is true this should be interesting. Bit OT but, did you end up selling both of those ke30's you had for sale? CHEERS Ryan

COPS. WHEN YOU BE POLITE AS YOU CAN, AND THEY TREAT YOU LIKE A PIECE OF SHIT. CALLED MY CAR A PIECE OF SHIT. AND PRETTY MUCH CALLED ME A LIAR WHEN I TOLD HIM I WASNT AT A CERTAIN PLACE TODAY. GAAAAAAHHHHHH, got defected the fined for not maintainign a vehcle to standards ???? isnt that double jepoardy?

Thats the plan. Keep your eye out for a decent condish ke30 for me guys :) Just really shitted me off as i was polite as all hell to him but he still treated me like a piece of shit. even wnet as far as calling the car a piece of shit. i have his bage number, whats the best way to go about making a compliant? i know they'll all stick up for each other but at least i will have done something.

Corolla is coming off the road for a decent amount of time. Coming home from Jasons place and i pass an unmarked car on my street. Pull into my driveway, turn off the car, hope out and the cop car was sitting at the end of my driveway. on the wrong side of the road of course. asked if i was on a certain road today. i told him i wasnt (which is true). then was a real prick saying he'll check the complaint if i wanna play like that. anyways, Got done for tyres (again), exhaust leak (just fixed it numb nuts), seats not secured ( my arse), oil leak (dizzy O-ring), steering wheel (fair enough), passenger side front side indicator (wires got ripped in accy) and air filter (yea yeah). Car is NOT allowed to be driven AT ALL and has to be trailered if it has to go somewhere. ATm i don't know hweather part it out and find a clean shell or to keep it

The 4K is purring again, sorta. Wont idle now, i thin thats due to me fixing the blown intake and exhaust gasket. now theres not a leak there, the back pressures building up as my diff has crushed my exhaust. hope to get that sorted out soem time in the near future. ALSO. Pulled the head off of the 5K yesterday. It has dished pistons. the pistons and chambers in the head look almost new. cyl 1 has some light surface rust down the 2nd cyl side of the bore and a little bit around the intake valve. apart from that, there is no real carbon build up, neither is there any oil sludge film like my 4K had. seems to me that it was a well looked after engine (or recently swaped) only the car it was in was treated like shit.

Very nice 20 you have there steve :) and you managed to find an elusive K-T bellhousing too :) :y:

His new engine recieved one on friday night :) My car wont idle not nor is it anywhere as quick as it was. i think its dufe to my diff squashing the exhaust. and niow that ive fixed the blown intake/exhaust gasket theres way too much back pressure :) anyway, thats WGMG

Congrats Budowski and Mrs Budowski :) . Best wishes mate :)

but this will be the ultimate sleepah :P

flipped leaves AND lowering blocks? handling? hahahaha

Jasons stunt double car :hmm: Vixen looks almost yellow :P

Slap the 5KTE in this, massive sleeper effect :P

Ah, you bought KJ's old 2 dr. great to see its gone to a good home :P Theres a KE30 bonnet at the southern UPI, if jason doesnt get to it before you :hmm:

Hey guys, Was looking for some HG torque specs a while ago and i bought another HG yesterday so i though id post up the torque specs. Specs are for an ACL Ezy Fit head gasket PN BD950EZ. Specs were also the same for my ACL Mono Torque head gasket PN BD950MT Torque ALL bolts to 25Nm or 18.5Ft-Lb. Torque them ALL again to 50Nm or 37Ft-Lb. Then one last time to 65Nm or 48 Ft-Lb Ft-Lb = Foot pounds Nm = Newton meters Remember to do them all before torqueing them up more. in stages :P Torqueing sequence: 8 6 1 3 9 10 4 2 5 7 Take it for a drive around the block a few times to get it warm then torque all the bolts up to 65Nm or 48Ft-Lb again as the heat expansion will cause the bolts to loose their torque slightly. I usualy add another 5Nm when i do this. Hope this helps a few of you. CHEERS Ryan

"Columbus" pistons have 2 types of dish. One of which is identical to the factory dish.

definatly shouldnt be that low :P any more pics of the rest of the headers and exhaust system?

i Have one :P Bought it off Falken KE30 when he split up the 4KZE he had. Cost me 200+ post from Tassy. Here you go :hmm: SC12 on Toymods
