philbey Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 You guys have just hijacked a thread completely, go discuss poxy simmons mags in a seperate thread. Back on topic - Mate your 20 is tough looking, good work. I reckon I may have seen it around as well, is it a long-time hills car? Got any pics of the engine bay?

rawKe20! Posted May 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 alright its been a couple of days and i didnt expect to get near this much hate mail but any way. to try and answer all the questions, > it goes great with the 5k its alot more fun to drive. > the escort slid out on the way to work on the road from maccy to strath with a boot load of tools just as it started raining. yeh I'm not proud of it i wasnt even going fast but if you want to leave more hate mail knock yourself out. no i didnt roll it. > of course i want new rims the hot wires are just because I'm an aprentice , i never said it was finished i actually said what i had got so far. to every one else like scott who showed appreciation to the car , thankyou its hard when you don't do mechanics so i thought i was doing aright, hope to see you out on the road. there is a fine line between constructive criticism and being a wanker, if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all, and don't worry right what you want about what ive said all that matters is i like the car it keeps me happy and if you don't like the style thats fine I'm not YOU!

Falken_KE30 Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 hey mate how did it goes with that carby setup? Neat KE20 btw, i like the old slammed, white walla, nana look.

benzo Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 (edited) People sent you hate mail? I bet it goes well with the 5k, what happened to the side draught? Sad to hear about the esky, I only guessed rolled as in your sig it says 'if you can't drift it roll it'.. Only thing I would suggest would be painting all the trims either silver or black, as a few people have said it is a little too blue. Needs something to break it up. :yes: Should turn out to be a sweet little Rolla dude, I know the feeling of being an apprentice, can never get parts quick enough lol. Cheers, Ben. ps sorry to hijack your thread earlier Edited May 20, 2008 by benzo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawKe20! Posted May 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 yeh i understand what you mean about breaking it up. but i wouldnt want to stuff it up. the side draft i never managed to get to run properly, with the socks on it flooded the engine and foweld the plucgs but when i test drove the engine it all ran fine in a ke30. i tried running the car without the sock and new plugs and still had troubles so i just got inpatient and changed it . i still have the sidedraft i should put it up fo sale soon. thanks guys and sorry bout the last posts! ill be normal from now on. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philbey Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Aberfoyle, yeh I reckon I used to see it around a bit. Just has a familiar look to it. Interesting about the Weber not running, did you ever pull it down and check choke sizes, jets etc and make sure you're in the ball park with them? Because if your motor isnt jetted and setup correctly to begin, your pushing the proverbial uphill. If it was running in a KE30 though, could have simply been the easier breathing I suppose. Cut a hole in your strut tower haha. And as for the hatemail, they can bite it. Your car man, do what you want! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
