How muck do you want, I also want a 4k flywheel, its too much work going to u pull it just for that.

Depends on the condition and I don't want the block with it r no scratching or dents on it or rust. I'll let you know tomorow I might be able to get a free whole 3k.

dam i need a 3k one asap.

are the 3k crankshafts the same as a 4k???

My partner and I have come to realise that we both don't have the time to make the quater panels but can easely do boots and bonets, we also agree that only a few (1-3) of each should be made up, we both now work too long at our day jobs to be doing something so extensive as this. Rest asure that a full progress report will be made with pics for proof staring next saturday, the only time we both have to colect the fiberglass.

I don't see why not, let me and my friend get the new mold up and cranking, a ke-55 front guard for myself. The mold is about as far as I could go, probably not till the following forghtnight for cash (bills to pay) you could bring a camera and post the pics for me that would help me and others a lot too. Will start next thursday so maybe that sunday you could come and see it. I'll pm you the info.

i didnt intend on them becoming a production item, merely a one off thing for myself and a few select others. how was i to know that half the club would be interested, if you don't want it or like the idea, thats all good, you have an opinion too, just don't buy them!!! steel wont last forever...

I have PM'd ae_71

ROFL!!!! :cool: :hmm: ;) :hmm: :lol: :y: :y: :lolcry:

the thing is, with proper manufature, the suspision will not be there that your panel will even be fiberglass!!..... unless you get onto a weigh bridge!! the idea is, not to damage the part! ?how many of you's have been in a serious accident in your corolla involving a full police report on the car? how many of you have been questioned about certain parts of you vehicle after it was in a severe accident??? how many of you have hit something so bad, the panel has torn from the sub-frame??? better yet, have they jsut been little prangs?? ie, dent/scrape, the same scraping or denting to a steel panel will merely deflect off of a fiberglass panel, maybe a crack or chip will occur, in which can be easily fixed with a $20 kit from bunnings!!! noone is telling you that you HAVE to buy these things, but if you see the advantage as i do, i think it would be wise. i don't mean to sound critical, i was jsut throwing out a hypothetical/practical. :cool: :hmm:

I fail to understand your criticism, I see 180sx, silvias and all that jazz driving around with the flared side panels that stick uot like a cherry red dogs nut and they don't get pulled up for it. My aim is to make a compleet factory looking set of side panels to dodge the rust and weight factor. The bonnet I made was 99% identical to the original, inside and out and was lined with a heat matt so you couldn't tell them apart. Panels are designed off of ke-55 parts, the bonnet was a ke-30 bonnet

They will fit the same as the stock ports, the bonet was a perfict fit at all 4 corners but didn't mess around with the bonnet latch part he wanted bonnet pins instead. At the end of it he stashed $200 in my tool box, picked up the bonnet and said "see ya some other time". Was a bit much just for a bonnet I thought and he did help a lot but I guess he really wanted it bad and its strong too, we droped it off a roof and only chiped a little corner off. Took 20 mins to fix, strong as and light too. Weight reduction too the max.

Now I'm really sorry but I'm unable to get some pick of my work so far and probably won't bother with the bonnet but within the next month I will do you one betta, a set of steel free, rust free front quater panels. The bonet, yes was just a prototype but also was not mine, it was a friends and when it was finished I was devo, it looked so good and weighed next to nothing and strong.

Hi all. I haven't heard of anyone doing this so I just went ahead and did it without thinking much. Tok me about 2 weeks to compleet without paint but a heap of sanding. Looks just like the real thing with all the bracing under the bonnet and steel plate inserts to bolt the bonnet to the hinges. NO MORE RUST.

So worth the clean up, I noticed that the intake ports are larger than a standard 3k-c head. Valvs look odd too. What would this head be worth?

Hi all tday I stumbled across a 3k-H and whant to know if they are any good, this head needs new stem seals and a facing.

dude i love the orange can i have the paint number/code plz?

il ask again, what did the ke70 parts set you back $$$?

i guess your leaving from sydney right? i wanted to go for a drive from SA to sydney to break in my 55 so i guess i have a deadline. il see how i go.

So if the foam brakes up and its done the same with me on another car I “had” and M&M says ram flow is no good and id think the same in your case, how about customizing it a little and use 4 K&Ns pods, the small, short ones. They give a lot of air flow and last a long time and you won’t be sucking in little bits of foam and replacing twice a year. It would cost the same as 2 foam ones but you know its gona work good and last twice as long. Would look cool too. Just a thought. Shane

hay cool what about orange?will it run at indy? black and you will need a big FO aircon in the sun lol.

$13 bucks, what was it 3 ply cardboard and supper glue :) how long you had that for?

if anythin e all fit it would increas the PSI or just stay the same, give it a shot i say, might work beta. let us know.

do you have a price for this paint and the suplyer? it looks like SOLID colour so shouldnt be much. light colours are easy to use as your body work wont have to be pro prept and primed. should look killer, old school as.

I'm 186cm, don't know what that is in feet but i started to have the same problem. i live in sa and let me just say who gives a toss about the cops. its sa, they wont pull you over and say "oy, your ke55 seat has been moded, do you have a slip for that" hahaha yea righ pigy. i put in ke70 seats and moded the adjusting rail. the seats are 1/4 biger and 1/2 the weight so for the 2 ke70 seats = 1 ke55 seat and they sit lower, more suport on your back and sides through hard cornering. i also put on a "real" race wheel about 2"diam smaller than stock so it wont hit my knees in a slide (atempt). if you don't want to do that i THINK a ke70 wheel fits right on and is smaller and stronger so pigy can't complain.
