SLO-030

Spotted a few yellow KE30's lately. Spotted one on the way home from the show and shine on sunday, he was heading north i was heading south. saw each other and stared as we went past each other. Also spotted a KE10? 11? on Manchester street, down from Villi's. Looked in pretty Av's condiditon. got potential

(1st car) Holden WB One Tonner, 3.3lt inline 6, 4spd. Was daily before latest buy 2 Ford Escort MkII Ghia. 2.0L auto....before you say anything, it was free. and if i had kept it longer i wouldnt have bought my 1st rolla 3 1971 KE25, 4k, 5spd SOLD 4 Holden HJ wagon, 3.3L inline 6 3spd auto. Had plans but was a POS in the end. SOLD 5 1978 KE30. 4K 4spd Current daily

Lol, poor guy. Poor tree. Myles: your 30 sounded like the prime mover i pulled up next to today, except your 30 sounded more diesel-ish

It was because my car is too good for keybangers hahaha, I enjoyed chasing seagulls tho :) Oh Oh Oh, and Alex's radiator cap. like OMG it had a lever on it, that was so exciting :)

Nah, mate, still waiting to make the plates the go under the springs and have to sort out a forward mount aswel hang tight, they'll get done.... some time

Exhaust, accounts for the blown out mufflers. I tried a few at the show and shine last night, and everybody saw me epicly fail. chasing seagulls in a ke30 seems to entertain people enough to forget about failing at keybangers tho :)

Contradiction much?? Very well put. People have things such as work and family commitments. I almost though about not attending seeing as its a late event plus it'll take 1hr+ to get home and have an early start for work tomorrow. don't have a go at other people, at least they were prepared to come in the first place.

One word....Patience. Just work through it, it'll all be worth it in the end.

Hi all, Just thought id let you guys know KE25 KID is no longer with us. Due to my model change, my username has changed to SLO-030. Just lettin everyone know on the off chance you go looking for some of my threads. CHEERS Ryan

I'm still good to go with this. the 30 is now equiped with beats so the drive out there wont be so boring. Also cruising up with the Southern Suburbs group.

Anti tramp bars are also called "cal-trac" bars. I got work to make me up some you bolts a bit longer so i can mount a plate under the shocker plate for this exact reason.

Yea, the console will go together with the 70 gearbox in it as the console was destined for my ke25 before i sold it. But I kinda like the tacho there. see what happens when i get another gearbox for it A Paseo, Charl also used one in his ke20. has the center cutout for the handbrake. :lolcry:

Ive heard K40's are stronger than K50's. If this is so, does anyone know what they'll take over the K40?

Looks sick mate. I too am also interested in which engine is sitting between the rails in this beast. EDIT: just saw your signature at the bottom of your post. did you do the 3SGE conversion yourself? CHEERS Ryan

Saw this on the Adelaide Rollaclub photoshoot day. All i can say is great job and that this car is quite entertaining to watch trying to get going from a set of traffic lights without killing the diff or wheels :lolcry: Pulls a rippa skid too :hmm: Bloody good job Ryan CHEERS Ryan

Well, I figured it was about time to make a project thread about my new Ke30. 1978 KE30 SE 4dr Colour: Canary Yellow Engine. Ke70 4K Trans: ke30/55 4spd Diff: BorgWarner 4.11:1 Brakes: stock Suspension: Flipped leaves and cut coils :hmm: Audio. JVC Mp3 Cd tuner. undecided 4' or 6' fronts. 6" rears. Kenwood 350watt Amp bridged to a Boss 800watt sub in an custom box. I have also fitted a late model toyota console. needs a filler section as the 30/55 K40's shifter is a tad too far forward, will make a mout and stick my tacho and make something around that. Oh don't mind the duct tape. its good for holding things temporarilly while modifiying things Just swapped the dash pad over from a cracked up old one to one that i believe is from DR1FT's old ke55. Also put in the head unit tonight. turned out easier than i thought. I just used modified factory brackets from the AM radio. Gotta love these japs :lolcry:. Looking at swapping the gearbox for another 4spd which should hopefully stop the death rattles lol. thats it for now. will get some pics tomorow.

Definatly beaten with the ugly stick. over....and over.... and over again. !!!!!THATS IT!!!!!! In not clicking any link you guys post that use girlfriend and car in the same sentence for at least another week or two.

OMG the 30 finally got some beats. time to open a project thread me thinks

The 30's zorst is stuffed as it is. Yaaarrrrrr Keybangers ahoy

Beating that F*&KING W*&KER in that F*&KING Commo in my little ke30, complete with death rattles...YEA that brightens my day.

Ya could have told me you was taking pictures, you didnt get my good side. :bash: . Hope your sisters neighbours didnt get too pissed off at us tryin to punt it around the block with it firing straight out of the extractors. Oh and waaaaaaaaaaaay out of tune.

Name: Ryan Car: 1978 KE30 SE 4Dr Motor & Driveline: Ke-Sev 4k and 4spd with a 4.11:1 Borgy Suspension & Brakes: (front) cut coils, stock brakes. (rear) flipped springs and stock auto diff brakes (which are massive compared to the manual drums) Wheels & Tyres: celica/corona/torago mags with medium profile westlake tyres Interior: Stock with Paseo console Body: Pretty good apart from 3 dents on the drivers side Other: My 2nd rolla (ke25 first rolla). goes well, will go better once i sort the gearbox out, prolly swap for another 4spd and stick a 3k head on it/

hahahaha, great fun. Good to see the ol K series diff held out with 170Kw. Pitty there was a breeze so the smoke wouldnt hold. Keen to see what the 30 came out like, considering i was only goin along for the drive and it was dirty as.

I meant non Rollaclubbing randoms. Rollaclubbing randoms are ok. Its those Random Randoms that are not so Good

I tried it in the new 30 today. Didnt go as well as planned, no pop or bang. just went REEEEEEEEEALLY fast when i turned it back on. Will be trying harder guys, sorry for the let down :bash:
