Heres some of the pics from my stud pattern change to 114, so both my cars can share wheels.

 

Thanks heaps for your help, redwarf rob, matt, and duggy. :y:

 

 

 

 

ke25 and ke30 axels

 

chop a bit off

 

 

Its all finished now but the camera is flat, just have to bleed the brakes. :hmm:

I also corrected the front end camber problem last weekend.

 

I got these off here, s13 strut tops.

 

 

As expected, there is a fair bit of slotting involved to fit them,

 

so instead i opted to make some new top plates for them, so they fit the car perfectly.

 

I used 6mm steel, out of an old chassis rail i found out the back.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All done, i painted them blue, and they are now in the car and work a treat :hmm:

So it coming tomorrow to All Toyota Day?? :y:

 

I'd love to sink my eyes onto this :hmm:

Yep, fully licenced and driving like an angel :)

 

 

Great to meet all the rollaclub crew today, my memory sucks, but good to see you all! :)

 

The wheels i had on my car today are simply too wide to lower it,

 

so i will have to decide on some for the future, the sigma wheels are going on for now.

Thanks for the calipers Matt 8/

Sweet ride man, seen you today with the rc bunch. Nice to meet you and all.

 

 

Keep up the good work man.

:P time for updates,

 

well, not good.

 

On friday on my way home from work at noosa,

 

i pulled onto the highway and tried to accelerate and the old girl wouldnt do it,

 

in fact, it slowed down instead, so i pulled over and she stalled,

 

opening the bonnet it was pretty clear what was wrong! i cooked it :P (i now recommend working temp gauges)

 

so she now suffers from a bhg, with compression escaping into the water. :(

 

So after hiring a trailer to get it home, i sit there remembering how many issues this car has had over the past few months,

 

in fact I'm pretty sure i work on it every arvo!!!

 

So i am considering:

 

selling the car

putting another 4k in

rebuilding the 5k

sr20de + auto.

 

Either way a bit of reliability is the goal, i prefer to work on the ke30! :D

 

 

oh yeh, i know its my own fault because i should have got the temp gauge working........... :jamie:

Damn, thats a little annoying.

What other issues have you had recently with it ?

 

Keep plugging at it, please don't sell it.

Man that sux mate. She's a beautiful car, I wouldn't sell. She's go hard with a nice 5K in her.

I don't think the pictures do the car justice. From real life, the car looks like a overrated original-old school cruiser. whilst i think the front wheels stand out a little like dogs balls (lol), the rest of the car you could eat off.

 

Keep at it, someone else would be enjoying your pride and joy otherwise !

Just re-build the 5k buddy. Pretty cheap, can do it in a day/weekend and you've got the skills!!! :dance:

And then you've got the piece of mind of another 20 years of happy motoring!!!! :P

so she now suffers from a bhg, with compression escaping into the water. :hmm:

Oh NOOOOO............. :P

So i am considering:

 

selling the car

I know a bloke who would buy it :) :dance: :yes:

Me too :dance:

I know a gal who would
