I remember when i first got my P's and took a mate out for the first cruise, i came outta side street in hallet cove and pulled a twinny standstill, IN THE DRY. prolly what killed my clutch. i whip the back out in the dry just can't keep it going as the clutch slips too badly but I'm better in the wet :POSTPICS!:. and this is all with a std 3k and shitted clutch. mmmmmmm all the fun of a 4k and good clutch. next on my list a replacement diff:P. If ya see me driving ya kno what my plates are just gimme a honk or a wave :dance:

Hi people,

this is an update i hoped not to be wrting.

 

I had a bit of a bingle in the rolla ;(, nothing serious, just buckled my rear passenger wheel. was going round a corner I'm familiar with the back swung out and it spun 180 degrees and hit a small gutter. the gutter was the only thing stopping me from hitting the sign post that was 2 feet away from the passenger door when i stopped, no joke. had a look at the skid marks and looks like id gone into a 4 wheel slide, so i reckon the front tyres let go and it was over steer heaven from then on. rollin round with 2x 14" wheels with mid profiles 1x 14" with full profile tyre and 1x 13" spare with full profile. all wheels match except for the spare so it doesnt look to bad but need another RT104 steely or 4x wheels to suit ke2# stud pattern. I've heard escort wheels fit up good is this true?

Not escort wheels, but early RX7 wheels are the shizzle as they're 4x110 :hmm:

hey ryan

 

have you actually measured your PCD??

 

if your running corona rims which are 114, and your spare is a 13" (mazda or toyota?) its highly unlikely they have been redrilled to suit.

more likely its running ke30 brakes and possibly ke30 diff.

 

just measure your PCD to be safe.

 

but if it is still 110, early mazda, early SAAB and early escort rims will fit.

also found that the ford fiesta and also earlier model focus have a very similar PCD of about 109.

 

cheers, scott

Scott, they have been redrilled as they have two stud patterns and i know the guy that did it at work for one of the previous owners. i can get pics of them but they have been redrilled. its running KE30 brakes modified to suit the 110pcd hubs and is running the standard jap import front loader.

 

you wouldnt happen to have any of the wheels u mentioned would you?? even 2 matching ones would be ok

KE25 is ENGINELESS.... got the old 3k out thismorning, disconnected everthing and lifted the engine out using an ovehead block and tackle. looked under the engine whileit was sitting above the engine bay and to my shock was the passenger side engine mount. the rubber had sheared of of the engine side of the mount. so i swapped things like thermostat housings manifolds and put the fan onto the 4k. the mate of mine who has the workshop i used said him and his mechanic will find a set of mounts and put the 4k in while I'm at work. so i'll be driving a commy till the mounts and engine are in. hopefully not for long as the commy is auto.

WOOOOO, the 25 now has a engine filling the bay again, and its a 4k too. went and had a look tonight and its all good. just need to reconnect a wire on the starter and it should be reday to run. hopefully all running and sweet before i leave. and when i come back i'll be ready to cruise with some other SA rolla clubbers. I also have a new clutch so i might be able to accelerate in 3rd and 4th gear. keeping up with busses will be new to me :D take that barinas :poke:
