Member Name - Ben Area - Toowoomba Daily Drive - Holden Apollo (camry thingo), And My CA18 KE70 Corolla when its finished

You asking if thats my car? Mines in the shed haha, daily is a dirty red holden apollo.. Anyone see that datto ute with the CA18det in it? with a ghetto crossover pipe no cooler, and a pretty interesting dash install.. looked dodge as.. didnt have a mod plate, doubt it would pass roady.. also saw a few things that did crack me up, T25 that was apparently off an RB20 standard, with ball bearings.. Ah a CA18 T4 top mount manifold marked as an SR18 lol, oh and watched a stall holder get fired up when some guy told him his XY dash wasnt worth what he wanted...

What a turnout!! Lots of stuff to be had if your a HOLDEN owner.. quite disappointed i didnt find anything that relates to me... oh well 3hrs of walking around and i still didnt see every stall there..

going to this if anyone needs me to have a look for parts send me a pm :jamie:

that last ones awesome!! are you a dancer? "no, no no no I'm just drunk" ahhhhhh haha ... love it..

used the 32/36 adapter for a 38/38, and no dfferences, all the same.. get it ordered and slap her on ;)

thats when you unsolder it and put another one in, by that time i should have some terminals :dance:

Yeah i have haha, just didnt have any at the time, had a soldering iron and solder so did it this way.. works so i don't mind..

Hows this thing goin dawson? done much on it or is it sittin in the shed like my car is :wink: check out what ive done in my buildup haha

So since christmas/new years, I found a T18 diff cheap, along with some T18 front struts/brakes, Fitted the T18 diff, wired up all the relays, so its all ready to go in a sense, just need engine mounts, tailshaft put the clutch pedal in, chuck ecu in the passenger kick panel and setup a front mount, its slowly but surely getting there, just cash seems to be the main thing slowing it down.

Might go check it out, see what i don't need and buy for the sake of having it ... haha

yeah ive had only 2 G's that wouldnt die, one was bored and stroked to 2L and was out of a rally car, the 2nd was a repotted 1.6L and it just wouldnt die.. ended up throwing that out cause it had basically no rings or compression left.. had one go out in spectacular fashion with a rod exiting the side and leaving a ncie hole in the block, pulled engine out a week later and looked like someone had used the sump for shotgun practice... ;)

Ill go with the G161 gemini engine, in total i destroyed 9 of them, all shattering bottom ends.. not to mention constant head gasket blowouts, noisy timing chains, my HJ ute, 202 with 3 on the tree on gas.. regular 8k gear shifts, never missed a beat..

any more progress on the big girl?

Yeah it has the standard diff that has been slightly tampered with... :)
