SLO-030

Came home thursday to find a package from Twinkytodd waiting for me. Some 1.5" lowering blocks! So yesterday i took them into work and got them into the milling machine. Blocks went from 1.5" down to 1". The original pins and holes were 12mm items to suit KE20 borgwarner i think? Anyways, the pins got milled away when i did the blocks. Drilled the holes to around 13.7mm then reamed to 14mm. Cut up some 14mm round bar to size, then gave em a press fit into the blocks and DONE! Pics up later.

All good now man, flyin' solo. Just means i can set up the back of the wagon to sleep in and not worry about tents n shit. Three words Ev.......Chuck's... My... Bitch :P Fo Shizzle. Diff, Clutch, Oil, Coolant, Filters, Plugs, Degrease and Weber. Now THAT'S a service!

Heading down early today to rip the 4.5:1 diff out of the panelvan to go into this. Should make for some interesting differences in acceleration. All i can say is thank god I've also got a 5spd. Picked up a replacement clutch from Raven, No heavy duty or anything, just a stocker till i find myself a W50. So many different size clutches with the same spline, nice wide selection to choose from. Also got an Aerial for the radio from Sam (Bugzbarney) installed and working a treat!

Ooooooohhhh. The monster sticker on the rear sums it up in one word :yes:

Anyone in here drive for Hi-Trans trucking?

Manual AE71! Lookin good mate!

Entered, See how we go :)

Hey guys. Put a question mark against my name. KETURBO has had to pull out due to work. Not gonna be able to find someone to ride shotgun in a short amount of time.

Can cross me off the list guys. KETURBO has had to pull out due to work. Doubt I'm gonna find someone to take in such short time.

Cool, i think T series are about 20mm wider overall than a K series. Bloke at Boss Differentials here in adelaide said that there isnt much difference in long and short axles :/ $350/pr for shortened, re-splined and re-hardened axles. Got it off a 5K out of a mates van that i sold to a mate and grabbed the starter in between. Hahaha, i'll have it done! Yep, Bringing Pete (KETURBO25) along.

Shit yea! Bringing Wade along?

Just a Skyriner diff i think. Gonna cost me 350-400 to get it rebuilt with new bearings and hopefully be able to use 2 short axles. How much wider was the 31 diff than the T series?

5K Reduction starter now kicking this thing into life! Still got some problems. Put an earth strap on the starter motor bolt as i thought it was an earthing issue. Still happening so i'll be replacing the main power cable to the starter soon. Not the ignition barrel as i can hear the solenoid clicking over every time, hoping its the main power lead. Hopefully replacing the diff next weekend, as i don't trust the current one for the GOR trip. Sorted some 1.5" lowering blocks from Twinkytodd. Gonna machine them down to 1" and put them in when the diff goes in to bring the ass down a bit.

Looking great Ben! These cars are deffinatly a credit to you!!

Farkin' Sweet. Proves that it can be done, and with technology these days, we should be able to push the trusty 4K into the 8's :lolcry:

Dunno about your preferences, but i'm looking into a steel case Celica gearbox and R31 diff.

Lets see your stepdad do the 1/4 in under 5sec...

Gonna have to upgrade the gearbox and diff soon too, I killed mine (gearbox and diff on its way out now) with a cammed 4K

WhiiiiinnnneeeeeeeeeeSPOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLL.........Tshhhhhh Tu Tuuuuu Tuuuu TUuuuu

Clown, I'm Sure theres a spare seat somewhere in the VIC fleet?

FIXED :D

Do they need to be A10's ? I got a set of A12's here somewhere..

don't be soft. KE36 windowless panelvan, blown 5K, Om Nom Nom.

KE3x > KE70 :happy:

Looks like a completely different car. Looses the corolla look IMO.
