It 's back. Daihard with a hair dryer. Carby has an awful flat spot and the idle is everywhere. I've ordered a carby kit and should be here next week. Still running the non turbo exhaust as the 2" one that came with it had a massive hole in the muffler. Another thing on the to do list. Oh and get tyres fitted to the turbo wheels. Stud pattern? 4x110 Thanks for the comments Ben. The front frowny nose on the white one is longer. I found this out the hard way when I tried to fit the turbo front sway bar.

There's been a bit of action in the garage. Engine is in and running. Biggest drama was the electric fuel pump relay. Non Turbo's have a mechanical pump. I figured I'd swap engine looms. Turns out the loom had completely different plugs in the back of the fuse box. So with the help of the Gregorys Manual I spliced the connector into the original loom. All running and has been road tested. Now I'm tackling the interior. Although I thought this'd be a straight bolt in there are so many little differences between series 1 and series 2, it's driving me nuts. Still, Xmas holidays may as well be used fixing old cars! Oh and check the bonnet hinge on the donor car. Very out of square.

Centre road update. Nothing k. An ae95 wagon was the only thing of Toyota interest. The forklifts were doing alot of clearing. From experience Christmas always bring new stock.

It's taken over a year. New house and new cars. I was playing Hondas and then this came along. Factory Turbo Charade. Guy I bought it off had no idea. Stopped running and he left it in his driveway for a year. The problem. Points had closed up. Wacked in a new set a boom. Engine and turbo are sweet. Body has had obvious repairs and seemed too good too be true. It was. Looks like it's been cut and shut. Rust in the drivers rail. When I had it on stands the drivers door wouldn't close! The Plan? Drop the running gear and interior into the silver Charade.

My brother broke his fan belt a few weeks ago in his '38 and was stuck on the side of the road. Womble1972 saw the rollaclub sticker on the back, picked him up, drove him to a parts shops and drove him back. Club power. Me and my brother owe the man a few beers. Thanks again. Bamboo

Thanks. I've got an early ke50 without the wiper and I've been a searching. Bamboo
-
Oh and has the Jap diff which can update the stud pattern to 114.3 on a ke 20 axle housing
-
It's basically a ke30 mechanically. Do you have the rear wiper assembly? Bamboo

It was my brother. He's got the 50 on loan while I fix his abused 38.

Well the Honda addiction just keeps on growing. I love the 1st gen stuff. Just picked this up and it is in amazing condition. Very well looked after and not expensive! 3 owner with 135k on the clock. Couple of scratches but nothing sinister. Just going to detail and drive. I love the number plates!!

Well I didn't like the slide on caravan thingy so I sold it after one trip. So here is version 2

Problem solved. Thanks to both of you.
