hi there i seam to have a low pedal on ke55 (10cm before the brakes kick in , 15cm before you come to a compete stop) Front pads have 6mm of pads left, about the same on the drums front brake lines have been replaced, wheel cylinders arent leaking i gave the brakes a gooooood bleed and used dot 4 instead of 3 suggestions? how low is the pedal in your ke55? thanks Evan

hi there, Evan G 1980 ke55 auto up north (Epping)

DOH! thanks parrot, ill hit the yellow pages again and see what comes up

speaking of witch , i got you something too :P !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

gday people i have a ke55 bumber bar that has been pushed in from the pervious owner (its not thatttt bad just distored in the ends) is there any place in melbourne that restores chrome bumper bars? business name please Thanks in Advanced Evan

uve changed redwarf, you use to be cooooool mann

ive seached numerous times and couldnt find JACK SHITT, well theres no point going to the wreckers, pulling out the control arms, removing my control arms and then fitting the WRONG LCA and getting 238974598237539457834654375r94357349054358435 degrees of negative/horizontal/upside down camber????????? i sure wouldnt be happy i WANT to be sure i get the right control arms

^^^^^ ahahhahahahha

ke20 - if no one makes rear sway bar for a ke20 ullh prob need to find a sway bar and make it fit, it will increase the oversteer at low speeds but at high speeds its a dream :)

sigma LCA are they the pressed in or bolted in? GE sigma (twin headlights?) how much camber do they add? Cheers Evan

ive added a ford ED rear sway bar in my ke55, doing 80kph and you jerk the steering wheel the rear feels heaps smooth and hardly any body roll, but at low speeds it just wants to slide around every corner :)

2 ke70 4kc at pick a part in cambellfield. both had NO dashes but engines was there and seats where overrated oh and 4 speed manuals

hahahahaha i had the same experience in my brothers EB, my ke55 has a slighty low brake pedal so when i was driving my brother car with new brakes, coming upto a intersection BANG f@$k :dance:

yea i getcha, where the hell is the technical moderator when u need him :dance:

wouldnt higher octane fuel burn faster? the more the octane the more BANG the camber will have therefor piston will be pushed down harder? and also another bit i don't understand is a engine running lean will run hotter, but when i adjusted the mixtures to run perfect the temp went up? WTF :dance: i think fuel burn time has something to do with it, so run 10 - 12 degrees with 95 octane? For everyone who doesnt really understand a cars ignition keep reading with the workshop manual it says 6 degrees advanced with a minium of 90 octane fuel. Lets Say : piston is 6degrees BTDC, air/fuel is ready to be ignted, so when the air/fuel is ignited the piston will be 2 degree before heading down, there for will be induced a knock. (was getting BAD knocking with 91) same scenario but timing slighty advaced - lets say the piston is 3 degrees BTDC, air/fuel is compressed and ready to get ignited, now when theres ignition piston is 1 degree before heading down. now that theres higher octane fuel in the engine it will be burn quicker therefore pushing the piston down just as fuel ignites, hence more power and no knocking evan.

speaking of running hot, i had the 4 gas emission tester on my ke55 and we found it was running a bit lean, so we backed it to 14.7:1 (91 octane) and ive seen my temperture gauge creep upto 1/2 way. its normaly 1/4? but now its down to 1/4ish with 98 octane?

gday all ive got a ke55 4kc and ive done the timing as per workshop manual (6 degrees on idle) its got me think, workshop manual says 6 degrees on idle with 90 octane. So if I'm running 95-98 octane how much should my idle be advanced? to get all the power out of it ill be putting it on the dyno at tafe in a couple of weeks, should i just do it then? thanks Ev

yea i know they work, the only way ullh be able to use a proper wastegate is to use a different housing? or run a external gate and the veriable veins? evan

tell us more about this RO racing muffler, i googled it and found jack shitt

sorry mate my inner child took over my fingers :dance:

legend :dance:

i think there from a ge sigma (twin headlights) is the pressed in or bolt in ball joints that i need? -2/-3 degrees of caster it adds? i forgot :dance: thanks in advanced

aye taz_rx, i got a few VNT diesel turbos lying around home from my old job ( :y: ) there from a 3L diesel that makes peak power at 2000rpm soooooooo 4kc 1.3L, with a VNT diesel turbo with peak power of double the rpm from the diesel engine and hey presto? :dance: ive read somewhere some wanker put a vnt turbo on a commowhore, upto 2000-3000 rpm the turbo will spool, but when the wastegate fins started to close he got 80psi of exhaust backpressure beyond 3000rpm hmmmmmm

bloody well said, excuse me Mcrackn are you a rocket scientist by any chance? because i took my fan belt off and the fan isnt spinning anymore? can you please help me?? LOL :yes: :dance:
