I can totally relate to this, not confusing at all....to me anyway WGMG: People that do 70 in an 80 zone then do 65 in a 60 zone what the f@$k..... also WGMG: People that accelerate like a bullet and do under the speed limit

I've got a pedal box here for $80 with all the springs and bolts. Edit: Oh and like previously stated, don't forget the Spigot bearing. I forgot it when I did my conversion, thankfully I remembered before anything was hooked up.

Do you have either of the motors already cause on apprentice wage your better aiming at a supercharged 5k or turbo

Yeah I just realized what he meant....if you look closely in the picture it's 1 photo over two screens, windows doesn't do this automatically.

Explain?

Just worked out (or downloaded what was needed) to do this.... And this is bad..... I know I know....no seatbelts sorry mods...

Hey guys bit of an update, white coupe has gone to scrap due to major issues, have got a couple of pics for better explanation; This pic shows where someone has replaced the front section of the car with another car......very dodgely done. The rust in the sill (underneath the door) The rust in the Rear Left piller The rust in the plenum in front of the window What it went to the scrap yard like And the new beast, which I am quiet happy about as it's a much better starting point than the other one

Yeah I like that style, unless I put a little wider tires on my dragways cause their in good condition and would look tough I reckon.

Just to make sure, one of the first things you should do is disconnect the battery to avoid complications.

Have a front bar as well which is in pretty good condition

Do you guys think these will look good or? I like them but would like to hear other people's opinions:

Got one here you can have for $80, good condition very straight and no rust, will post pics if you want.

Relay and Fuse bracket turned out awesome, I'm gonna use that idea. Will be down tomorrow to hook up the speed signal and give your dash back.

If your going to go Matt Black....get the 5k.......

Not a suspension expert myself but if your front bar is solidly mounted wouldn't that itself be the reason it's so stiff?

Pro - ummm....it's a ke35....do I need to say anything else Con - peoples ability to do incredibly shit jobs of fixing them (will be able to see next update of my ride thread) To be honest I was thinking to myself the other night how happy I was with the stock 3k 3spd and the styling of the car. And the ability to to turn heads in semi poor condition.

Spotted Oh-KE on Lonsdale road bout 3:30ish

WGMG - Being pwned..... :lolcry:

WGMG - RUST!!! (and yes I know it has probably been posted before but there it is....what you going to do......unless your a moderator who can change anyone's posts but bah to that) Elephants may be blue chairs, but can they sing? Yep still works, still have the ability.... :D

For the money and repetitiveness I'd look into something else mate, look into a Diesel Mechanic or Auto Electrical apprenticeship, best place to go is a Training scheme sort of thing. Like I'm a bit unsure if your have them where you are but in adelaide we have the MTA and other companies to get you into an apprenticeship and train you aswell. Goodluck.

Hey guys, got another update (no picts so a little boring). Things have gone a bit south.....the front right hand side of the car has been in a major crash (before i bought it) and what I think they've done is welded the front end of another car on which has thrown everything on the front off. Also after seeing what's involved in getting the plenum in front of the windscreen out to get to the rust I started to worry that it's way too much of a project. And also there is a farely hefty rust hole in the back left pillar which will require alot of attention....but there is hope, a fellow member contacted me a little while ago about his ke35 for sale with no engine or trans. Went down to have a look and is a MUCH better starting point than the one I've got. So I'll be picking that up next week and scrapping my original car. So bad news with good news which is good.

Awesome, thanks for that.

Oh yeah Totally forgot that I increased the idle to keep the 5k going....my bad.....Where's the left hand side photo's? :wink:

Cheers, looks pretty good from the side, just as long the height of the car matches I guess. Was going to upload the picture from your ride thread but is showing some error. Do you know the offset of the wheels or?

There 15x7 SSR longchamps, was looking at some SSR MK1's but they got sold so. Want that style of wheel though and I reckon the longchamps would look good. I got 14x6 dragway splats with 185/65R14's at the moment and they fill the guards nicely, unsure of the offset but the rear right tyre scrubs but that is entirely due to suspension at the moment.
