OR maybe they wanna think outta the square, be different. how do u think people like Chip Foose, Boyd Coddington, Dr Felix Wankel, Einstien, Henry Ford, Alexander Graham Bell, etc. etc. became famous?? BECAUSE THEY DID THINGS THEIR OWN WAY, and achieved something. gotta agree with shane there, Look at how many people have gone and put a 4A-GE into a older rolla and then look at how many people have gone and uprighted the good ol K engine. some people are happy on what they are givin and want to improve what they have. I though that this was a corolla forum not a bag the shit out of people what wanna do somethin different to their corolla forum? i agree that is not the best motor out there, no motor with a V/E under 100 will ever be a master piece. stop baggin people that are tryin to do something with what they have. THANK YOU MATE, if noone gives a shit which obviously u don't, why the f@$k are u posting in this thread anyway? maybe some people don't have the resources to do this kind of stuf themselves. Shanes already said hes not doing it for a power boost hes said it over and over. Last thing get it right i do belive its an upright 4K thread not 3k. END OF RANT, thank you for listening boys and girls. CHEERS Ryan

i knew that just talkin bout the gearbox side of things

weld the 30deg wedge straight onto the std cross member then people can still use their own crossmembers without forkin out for new ones. then mount the rubber to the wedge and all will be sweet. CHEERS Ryan

aye, was 16 and already driving alone, vic P plate laws can rot in hell. we can drive V8's and hot 6's here, SA doesnt look like a bad place to live now ay? OH btw, Bianca, nice 55 seen this friday night and its a minta ride. keep up the good work. CHEERS Ryan

if you look at the original mounts they're different anyway, the drivers side mount has a flat mount to block surface and the passenger side has the bottom mount boss further out than the top mount boss. as Medicine Man said above theres a rubber block thats bloted between the engine mount and the mount on the cross member. CHEERS Ryan

yea do a step by step on how u do it id be interested for sure. g/l with it all. are those mounst fully soild with no rubber dampers at all? CHEERS Ryan

one of those custom cross members could be made very easily, so easy even i could do it :D 2 30deg wedges and a piece with the appropriate holes welded together then the complete wedge welded to a cross member= easy. CHEERS Ryan

KE25 is ENGINELESS.... got the old 3k out thismorning, disconnected everthing and lifted the engine out using an ovehead block and tackle. looked under the engine whileit was sitting above the engine bay and to my shock was the passenger side engine mount. the rubber had sheared of of the engine side of the mount. so i swapped things like thermostat housings manifolds and put the fan onto the 4k. the mate of mine who has the workshop i used said him and his mechanic will find a set of mounts and put the 4k in while I'm at work. so i'll be driving a commy till the mounts and engine are in. hopefully not for long as the commy is auto. CHEERS Ryan

went down to u pull it at lonsdale to look for a set of K enginge mounts and found 2 paseos. 1 had a console that look like people had put screw drivers thru it. and saw one on my way out had a look had full interior including overrated console, got it out it was only $22. problem was i borrowed my mates scooter as the 25 had no engine in it as the passenger side engine mount broke. so i rode from u pull it to my mates workshop in reynella balancing the console between my feet. things i'll do to get a console that fits ay. :D CHEERS Ryan

hey exhumed, as above. wanna part with one of the original stocky steelies? it aint a paddock basher unless its rolling on 3 wheels. :D CHEERS Ryan

Scott, they have been redrilled as they have two stud patterns and i know the guy that did it at work for one of the previous owners. i can get pics of them but they have been redrilled. its running KE30 brakes modified to suit the 110pcd hubs and is running the standard jap import front loader. you wouldnt happen to have any of the wheels u mentioned would you?? even 2 matching ones would be ok CHEERS Ryan

Hi people, this is an update i hoped not to be wrting. I had a bit of a bingle in the rolla ;(, nothing serious, just buckled my rear passenger wheel. was going round a corner I'm familiar with the back swung out and it spun 180 degrees and hit a small gutter. the gutter was the only thing stopping me from hitting the sign post that was 2 feet away from the passenger door when i stopped, no joke. had a look at the skid marks and looks like id gone into a 4 wheel slide, so i reckon the front tyres let go and it was over steer heaven from then on. rollin round with 2x 14" wheels with mid profiles 1x 14" with full profile tyre and 1x 13" spare with full profile. all wheels match except for the spare so it doesnt look to bad but need another RT104 steely or 4x wheels to suit ke2# stud pattern. I've heard escort wheels fit up good is this true? CHEERS Ryan

Max, there will be 30+yr old cars coming if this happens there will be more than a few stops and more than likely some unplanned ones :hmm:. I'm uber keen, chuck me swag in the back seat fill er up and I'm off. i reckon a long weekend 2 dayer would be aiight thru adelaide hills and bush or yorke penninsula. CHEERS Ryan

Charl, Charl, Charl. Nice job with that console. anymore of them at the wreckers you may wanna get for a certain rolla clubber with a red ke25? hint hint I'm goin to perth and gettin back two weeks from now, i expect it all to be ready and cruiseable buy that time. A cruise ooooooooohh, is that enough motivation? :hmm: CHEERS Ryan

hey man, nice 20. just havin a look at the pic and whats the go with the clutch cable? it goes in the same side as the right hand drive models we have here and thats a left had drive with the pedals in the other side? just curious. CHEERS Ryan

what i like about boris, m 37yr old Ke25. its a corolla, what more do i have to say? not too many round, its different to the norm small, easy to park, good on petty if i don't push it hard things i don't like, Its 37yrs old, hard to find spares front wheel arches to small to lower over 14's But there are far more likes than dislikes CHEERS Ryan

thanks for the offer chrisandliz but I'm hookin up white sandshoe with my 3k outta my 25 and in return hes hookin me up with his ke20 or T-18. thanks white sandshoe. CHEERS Ryan

I'm the odd one out here, bothe of the above live salisbury, elizabeth way and lil old me live down south. Murderess, if we arrange a cruise i can suss the wiring out and possibly help tidy it up, i think i'll be doing charls bay goin by what was said when i fixed his lights. CHEERS Ryan

I remember when i first got my P's and took a mate out for the first cruise, i came outta side street in hallet cove and pulled a twinny standstill, IN THE DRY. prolly what killed my clutch. i whip the back out in the dry just can't keep it going as the clutch slips too badly but I'm better in the wet :POSTPICS!:. and this is all with a std 3k and shitted clutch. mmmmmmm all the fun of a 4k and good clutch. next on my list a replacement diff:P. If ya see me driving ya kno what my plates are just gimme a honk or a wave :dance: CHEERS Ryan

I'm deff up for a cruise, once the 4k and clutch is in then I'm all ready for a nice cruise, rollas only. CHEERS Ryan

A very good metak polish is PURPLE, made by California Gold. worked wonders on the wheels on my ute, bumpers andother shiney stuff, used it on my hubbies and the looked minta. a tip the makers give to keep chrome lookin goot always keep polish up to it. CHEERS Ryan

Hey Josh,I remember you tellin me u didnt wanna take ur axles out and if u don't wanna take ur axles out u can't weld ur diff. need to have the center out of the housing to weld both sides of the spider gears. CHEERS Ryan

if ya got P plates i reckon i passed ya on south road just after the expressway goin towards the city, u was pulled over. If theres a red 25 goin along reynell road its most likely me. um will keep the 4k in for a bit till i can afford the 5k . will be a littlw while off yet but when it comes out u have priority of getting it. Keep an eye out in wet weather I'm the 25 gettin sideways round 2 outta 3 corners. CHEERS Ryan

Work time always upsets a good corolla discussion ay. at least you'll be able to see where your goin now and not get people flashin ya. Dam work time comin quick for me now :cool: CHEERS Ryan

Sorry mate, i think its just a tad bigger than Qantas will let me take on....hmmm 3k powered 747 :cool: CHEERS Ryan
