once youve got the clear coat off, id recomend PURPLE metal polish. its made in the US by California Gold. its available from HY-Way truck accesories on the cnr of South Rd and Grand Junction Road. I'll bring the bottle down friday night and show ya:) Heres a pic of my wheels just after being polished with PURPLE. Ryan LOVES THE SHINEY

I took up the offer of a free brake inspection at ABS in reynella. told me it'd be about $1300 to replace the pads, disks (ke30 i think),piston seal on a rear drum, new flexable brake lines and a couple things extra on a KE25. while showing me the flexible brake lines which were on the verge of poping, the guy points to them with his ball point pen and proceeds to poke the bulge in the line with his pen, WHAT A MUPPET!! grabbed some KE55 brake lines for free at the wreckers, picked up a full KE30 front brake setup for $30 and used the pads (sold the rest for $20), a brake bleeding kit ($10) and 2 bottles of brake fluid $6 each (castrol). so all up it cost me about $30 to fix up what was needed and what i didnt do that they told me seemed fine when i checked it. I'm not goin back to ABS reynella in a hurry, charge WAYYYYYYY TOOO MUCH. especially $500 to supply and fit a K series clutch :y: picked up a virtually brand new full clutch setup for $34 from the wreckers. As you can see, i love the wreckers. LOTS of rolla stuff.

Hey mate, shmick 20 you have there. 2 questions for ya, were there any tricky bits on getting the LPG to work with the turbo. and who did ya intake manifold and can i have one? :y:

The 7K apparantly has thinner mounts to compensate for the wider block. so it'll bolt up to the original mounts but modding of the sump is needed to clear the crossmember or visa versa (id mod the sump personally).

that'd be right. a a 4K is a Stroked 3K, a 5k is a bored 4K and a 7k from what ive heard is a stroked 5k???

Mount a nitrous injetor there ey bro :dance: Yea EGR is what id say its for, seing as it doesnt have the external piping like the KE70 4k manifold i have here.

What are u guys talking bout. she's still got another 20,000km left on them:p maybe you could use them for pizza cutters or put them on a circular saw. Just be lucky they didn fail on ya.

Yea, thats what id thoguth would happen. (low comp = sluggish Might make it look like some of the rollas on the road today :yes: Just asking because i have a little plan in the making. :dance:

Thanks man, i didnt even know someone had done it. But it helps now. How many pounds are you pumping into it with the 8:1 CR? Also would she still run ok as N/A with the low CR? CHEERS Ryan

I'm looking at buying a 5K powered rolla and my plans are to boost it. (supercharge or Turbo). i kno sticking a 5K head on a 4 or 3K will lift comp thru the roof. so if i were to put a 3 or 4k head on a 5k would this lower comp enough to leave the internals alone. And which head out of the 3 or 4K has the biggest/smallest chamber size? CHEERS Ryan

I had some slippy Hankooks on the back of my 25 when i had it. I stuck them on the front because the old ones were scrubbing. Went to drift a corner and being slippies they uh...Slipped. the front wheels broke traction at the same time as the rears and thats how i put the 25 into a kerb. so yea, Hankook slippies are good tires for street dorifto but no good for front wheels. Whadda ya expect for $30 a pr

Hey Mate, Good luck for sunday. Wont be there, but am interested in racing, will catch up with ya on monday

I think Mick knows but so you don't get the wrong idea. I only had the motor in and running for an hour before i decided to sell which i sorta regret now :y: but oh well.

Yea, count me in for this. just noticed, theres nothing saying where it is. i gather it'd be at either jepps cross or at richmond?

I'm in for this, i havent got another rolla as of yet, hope I'm still welcome :sob:

Friday and saturday night is good for me (gokarting) and i guess it'd have to be either sat or sun for paintball so whatever it is whenever it is I'm up for it

WORK and the 40min commute to get there, enough said

depends on what part of adelaide (and possibly other states) you live in as they usually have a common theme. no funny ones around my place. Oh well

Spotted a white KE30 2dr in the Aussie Exhaust and Dyno Tune work shop up on the lift getting the zorst done. ad MA61 wheels and (from what i could see) pretty dark tint. A bamboo coloured KE20 along south rd, followed me for a while, pretty good cond and fulla chicks :sob:

hey mate and welcome to rolla club. first bit of advice, I work at a springmakers and ive learnt that heating the spring steel can make it more prone to breaking and thats something you don't want in your suspension. flipping the leaves is the easiest way and the cheapest :sob:. CHEERS Ryan

Can find out for ya some time next week

Can find out for ya some time next week

hey man, u got my number. msg me and i'll put u in touch with some people that can get ur car low

I'm up for GoKarts. if its the case +1 or 2 Paintball sounds good, never done it before, wanna give it a go +1 I kno for the grand prix and possibly the team enduros they will shut the doors to the public so the group have the track to themselves:) Possibly a friday night or sat night for Go Karts and Saturday for paintball dunno bout others but i kno i don't wanna be at work, especially on a monday recovering from being shot the day before lol

SPOTTED, yellow/bamboo KE38 parked at the Forbes Park Shopping Center in Plympton about 8:20am today and Corolln, parked in his driveway:P Yea, i would say going buy the BHG and how long it took to pop up in the dealership its had been givin s bit of stick by the previous owner. as the guy that built it sold it for $3,000 and about 6-10weeks later it was already in the dealership. details as far as i kno: '74 (i think) KE25 coupe deluxe overrated black interior, some sort of wierd bent shifter????? Ford XC orange Fully built and balanced 7K, Turbo Head, Custom Log Manifold, Hi mount T25 (i think), drawthru weber sidedraught carb,cold air induction, 5 speed commercial trans and 3.36 or 3.55 Holden Banjo diff with fresh LSD. Last time i saw it every alloy part in the engine bay was polished including turbo compressor housing. The guy who built it goes by the name of Mark and was VERY meticulous (spelling?) in everything he did. apart from the BHG it would be a very nice corolla. was told by Mark that it is pumping in the reigon of 250rwhp. And yes Mark built the whole car including everything in and on the motor yes I'm kicking myself now as i had the chance to buy it for just $3,000 which woulda included a shed fulla parts and a 5K setup for turbo which the eng# came from. But unfortunatly apprentice wages arent all that generous:( live an learn. CHEERS Ryan
