  1. Thats sucks Ryan, we need to find you a daily or get your ute

    some rego, this things too nice to cruise everyday man. I don't

    have to tell you but you know if you want any help ill be straight

    around.

     

    Couldnt really see the wheel too well but how did it hold up?

  2. The crystal lights are awesome in the car,

    its amazing how much greater they reflect street signs

    and other things at a distance.

     

    (also really highlights the large and jagged rocks along

    the bends of belair road, or maybe it was because we were

    narrowly avoiding them at speed so closely in the dark that

    they seemed relevant at the time.....)

     

    Good times Ryan, good times.

  3. what turbo are you running?

     

    Cheers, Jake.

     

    I really don't know much about carby fed turbo setups at all,

    but i can tell you its a garret turbo, I'm sure i remember hearing

    someone say that its a suck through setup? Might have to ask the guru

    about that one. i.e TAZ-RX

     

    Glad you like the car man, and yeah id love to take you for a

    boot in it, one of my friends has a VE SS and after today I'm seriously

    wanting to line him up in the rolla.

  4. Note to "KE25TURBO"

     

    DO NOT SELL, MAN! You'll most likely regret it.

     

     

    Couldnt agree more with ya mate, its just waaaaaayyy too loud

    to drive on the street at the moment and i could use the cash,

    but i wil regret it if i sell it...I took SLO-030 for a boot

    today (second time I'm ever driven it) and oh my f@$king god...

    just feeling it hit boost was enough to make me put an end to

    the thought of selling it. can't wait to take it on its first

    RC Cruise.

  5. Yeah i love it too much to sell it i think Ryan, sometimes

    i think it would be smarter to sell it while its still in good

    condition and not defected, but then of course ive gotta consider

    the fact that ive only EVER driven it twice in 3 years so i havnt

    really got my moneys worth out of rebuilding the engine or buying

    the car in the first place for that matter.

     

    Once the exhaust is on the car ill put some rego on it and finally

    get some enjoyment out of owning it. Good advice as usual mate.

     

    What a champion.

  6. Please don't touch the back end of the wagon...

     

    We should start trying to think of a way to whip

    up a black roof lining for the beast though, not an

    easy task...

     

    Anyway dude, i tried calling you today but got no answer,

    ill try again tomorrow, gotta come for a cruise.

     

    Cheers.

     

    (for those who don't know, i just got my licence back after

    being diqualified for 3 years...Keen to attend my first cruise

    in Rolla club)

  7. Getting my licence back in about 2 weeks and the ksev is now ready to go,

     

    since my last update, the car has been painted and converted to manual,

    installed Toyota Pasao front seats, console and steering wheel, also

    installed a push button start just for shits and giggles.

     

    Didnt want to go crazy with this one (since i still have the 25 for such

    occasions) but I'm happy to own it as a daily which is what i wanted from

    the begining so I'm stoked.

     

    Pics will be up soon.

     

     

    Want to say a big 'THANK YOU' to SLO-030 for being a rolla head and getting

    the vaccum leaks on my engine sorted for me. What a champion Ryan :y:

  8. When i started this thread i was trying to put them back in and i just

    found that i couldnt seperate the shutting mechanism from the threaded

    rod that goes to the exterior door handle so i had to bolt the handle

    to the door with the 2 10mm bolts which was easy. but then the only way

    i could get the thread to bite into the handle from the inside of the

    door was to turn the whole unit inside the door and then reconnect the

    three rods once i had bolted the mechanism back into the door.

     

    Oh well either way i got there and its done so thanks for all your help

    as usual guys.

  9. See thats just the thing, theres 4 arms that come away from the actual shutting mechanism

    And they go to,

     

    1: Interior Door Lock

    2: Interior Door Handle

    3: Exterior Door Lock

    4: Exterior Door Handle

     

    and yes youd think that you could simply pull the rod off and turn it which would be a peice

    of piss to do, but of the 4 rods you can only pull 3 of them away from the mechanism, and

    guess which one isnt removable...number 4: Exterior Door Handle! And the reason i had so much

    trouble with it was because in order to connect the rod to the exterior door handle you need to

    thread the rod into the handle and basicly turn the entire unit inside the door around 15 times

    to connect it and theres little to no room to do that which just made a small job painful.

     

    But thanks for the help as usual guys its now been done, i still think its a little odd that the

    only rod that you can't disconnect from the mechanism is the one that you would really need to

    disconnect to fit the exterior door handle...very unlike Toyota to be tricky to work on.
