Put in a 4k/5spd :P

Sounds like its all ready to go just about. :P Come upto jasons if you get it fixed today. We shall be there finishing off the conversion.

a RWD AE80? :P I say, hes wrong :P

What did it fetch and who owns the ol girl now? 4AGE :P :P

That Pic is calender worthy Two thumbs up.

Jason provided some of the drinks and i provided some more. Jasons mum made some wicked sausage scrolls. two thumbs up. Sheena did provide me with a lift back to my joint in the MX5 to get some Loctite master gasket.

NOOOOOOOOOOO. AE8* were the first Fwd generation with the EXCEPTION of the AE86. AE86 was the LAST Rwd rolla

You work on Port Rd, yes? EDIT: Read other thread, question answered :P Lookin' good in the flesh, anymore plans on this beast?

I got one whats it worth to ya?

BLAAADY HELL. Pricks

Yea, I spotted that 20 there on thursday. has been there for a week or 2 if my memory serves me correct. Also spotted the ol 30 comeing off defect :P Then on the way blowing the headgasket. not so :P then spotted 4k/5spd going in today. even more :P

4K/5spd is all in. Not running tho. Has a coolant leak from the water pump and the rear inspection plate on the back of the head. For anyone with an originally automatic KE30/55 and looking to bolt a ke70 5spd in will find that the gearbox mount and the crossmember don't line up at all. Just thought id let people know before they go expecting it all to fit like a charm. BIG THANKS GO OUT TO THE FOLLOWING (yes, I'm shouting) Jason (JasonKe30) Dale (MYSTIK) Luc (Greenmac80) Jason's Dad (tech assistance and for using his carport) Sheena (Lucs missus) (spectator) Jason's mum (Food :P)

Only going by what the builder told me. Either way, it had enough power to REALLY give it a massive set of balls. specs from what i was told. 7K out of a Townace. Machined (decompressed) head, Fully balanced bottom end. Pretty big turbo Drawthru weber side draught carb. Townace belhousing and Commercial gearbox. KE55 tailshaft, 3.36 banjo shortened from a One Tonner. XC orange Black Vinyl interior (overrated, from what i saw) I could have bought it for $3,000 as is. but didn have the money and it turned up in a car yard 2/3 months later with a BHG and the dealer wanted 6,5000 i think.

The 30's off defect as of tonight. Took Luc down with me, cop checke the tyres, i handed over 24.5 clams and i was in and out within 15mins. Took it for a drive after and me bing stupid i forgot to top up the water before leaving for the cop shop. and subsequently blew the head gasket. Looks like jasons got yet another reason to rebuild the f@$ker.

New springs going in when i get front shocks, you can test out my chops to see about the ride height.

Use the K-W bellhousing out of a KR townace (the ones with a 7k in them) My mate was using the bellhousing an gearbox out of the lightace behind his turbo 7k 25. putting out about 250rwhp. Either that or just use the bellhousing and bolt up another W series box. EDIT: Aparantly you can use a Corona clutch fork with this bellhousing to keep it cable operated.

YEp, cut springs :dance: Previous owner did them. I have the 265mm ones sittign in the shed ready to go in when i get time. I havent really had a problem with them. But chopping springs is a good way to find the perfect ride height, then get the new ones the same size.

I know. Although its heaps sick....aye

I had never been pulled by the cops in any of the 5 cars i own/owned. I did get pulled into an RBT on my L's tho. ahk, pic will be soon.

265mm free height will get you just about sitting on legal height. And get a pair of leaves thru the group buy, those prices are probably a once off too :) If you don't wanna buy lowered springs you can have the chops out of the front of my 30. they sit EXACTLY on legal height and handled the twisties rather well.

will grab my old wheels off of jason tonight or tomorrow night. get home from work friday night, get under it and flip the leaves back to stock without taking the springs out, slap on a bumper and put my old seats back in and take ti to degrease the bay on the way to the cop shop.

i have footage of said trolly and occupant.

Nah just driving on my way home. Got done for front tyres on the wear markers and rear track too wide (cop wrote it just so he didnt have to send me to regencey for being too low)

It was bound to happen. And really i thank him for not putting the height on the defect or the 30 wouldnt have seen the road again. or at least after a full rebuild. $24.50 to get it off defect at the cop shop as opposed to $190 (i think) if it went to regency, and it prolly wouldnt pass anyway.
