Corey's Ke70

:jamie: been a while since i've updated, long story short....

The 18rg actually turned out to be a 2tg, so brought the t-50 and the complete motor and put it in. After changing the clutch to hydraulic (pain in the arse) I did a home tune and got it running fairly well, history on the motor was that it had a full rebuild with standard items.... 12 years ago :y:

So I raced it for around 8 months then one day at a DECA sprint, went pretty hard into a corner and it made some pretty wicked noises but when I straightened up they all stop so i thought it was all ok, then finished my run and started to slow down and it was coughing, squeling, smoking and going right off, so i turned it off and havent started it since. Pulled it out and number 4 main bearing was in about 3,500 bits and the crank and rod were absolutely munted. Yes i had oil, no i didnt have a baffled sump :yes:

Brought myself a 3t and just started working on it a few weeks ago. Plans are to do a mildly hot 3tg.

Pics are coming.... Bit of a teaser below, just brought them tonight.
