  1. no worries, I'll just have to make it work. can't think of any alternative unless I get one made
  2. Can anyone tell me if a ke30 accelerator cable will connect to the pedal end of a ke25? Just installed a weber and need a cable with the ke30 type end on it. Cheers Abbott
  3. hey guys, sorry to bring something so non toyota related to the forum but know there is a lot of knowledgable blokes on here basically I'm looking for an AWD wagon that has some balls. my main two contenders at this stage are late 90s and early 2000s wrx wagons and also the vr4 legnum. this is just due to my budget and being able to get a fairly low km car for that price. just want to know from people's experience are legnums reliable and are they a good car to own? wrxs I have driven a couple and know the common problems. also if anyone has any other ideas feel free to throw them out there! cheers!
  4. well i put a new thermostat in, used the water pump from my 3k (which had no issues), radiator already being used, and the 3k fan I'm pretty sure I bought the motor second hand, runs beautifully but gets hot pretty quick. wondering also maybe a headgasket
  5. hey guys got my 5k running in the ke25 has anyone else had overheating issues after fitting a 5k? was thinking maybe a thermo fan might do the job?
  6. nah battery has 12v and tried a hilux battery too, probably need to check it's got 12v at the starter motor too
  7. cool! maybe just cause it's 42 years old haha
  8. hey guys just finished putting the 5k in my ke25, went to start it and it turns over sooo slowly and won't start. do I need a high torque starter motor or just a newer standard starter.
  9. sounds like a retarded question but my mum called me the other day asking if I could explain this strange stuff coming out of her exhaust, I put it off until today so i could have a look and i have no idea. she said she pulled out about 10m of it and apparently my old man pulled out a bunch too! photos below!
  10. thanks guys, I'll just run the flywheel off my 3k and get a new clutch anyways! cheers!
  11. hello everyone, I am in the process of purchasing 5k for my ke25 and i have an issue that the engine doesn't come with a flywheel. The question is will the flywheel from my 3k bolt up and just run a 3k clutch or do i need the bigger 5k flywheel? are the bolt patterns the same? I know i could pull it apart and check myself but I want to get a clutch and all that before i pull my car apart because it gets me to work. Cheers Tom
  12. thanks heaps for the replies guys, really have to sit down and think if I stick with selling or starting spending money on her!
  13. hey all, havent posted in a while but got a question! i have a ke25 that appears to not be selling or barely have any interest! now I'm thinking of getting a couple of panels resprayed if i keep it so also thinking maybe its time to get some te27 about it! my issue is that i want to put on te27 flares BUT i don't want to damage the standard guards in case i get defected and seeing as I'm not going to run it super low i don't see this being an issue clearance wise! now having never had flares to look at in real life does anyone thing there would be a way to mount the without bolts, maybe an adhesive? may seem like a dumb question but thought id ask
  14. thanks for the advise mate and I plan on doing that but just thought if I could get some ideas of places that have proven to have good work it would be worth checking out and traveling across Adelaide isn't a major issue if the work is good
  15. hey guys, had a browse through the forum and couldn't see much information on panel and paint and what topics there was had no replies. now I was wondering if a few people could put down some of the places they currently use or have used in the past as somewhere people like me can call as a reference for prices etc and expect good work! I personally am only looking to get two panels colour matched and resprayed but there's plenty of people that want full resprays! any help would be awesome, thanks!
  16. looking at getting extractors and exhaust to under passenger seat where there is already a system! anyone know any good cheap exhaust shops? best quote ive got is 380 fitted and connected to exhaust! seems reasonable but thought id ask.
  17. while everyone is reading this thread, anyone know what the thread size is on the stud on the flange on exhaust manifold?! i need new nuts!
  18. nothing wrong with an early model! i think the more i look at them the more i like them!

    that was me scott! also to anyone thats interested, my ke25 is now up for grabs due to not having a good shed to protect it from the elements and it deserves more than what i can offer it
  20. http://forums.club4ag.com/zerothread?id=28891 I'd say te27 flares and modified to fit, but that's just my opinion
  21. i may have misunderstood what he said but i was under the impression that he meant 2k for the cost of the engine alone, not the whole conversion? do correct me if I'm wrong!
  22. pretty much any ke1x or ke2x running 14" steelies are redrilled celica stockies. I'm running them, if done properly I can't see any issue.
