Sheena (Lucs missus) (spectator)

 

Did this spectator bring the Drinks and food?

 

I know mine does sometime only cause we have a very new white kitchen... she'd kill me :P

Jason provided some of the drinks and i provided some more.

 

Jasons mum made some wicked sausage scrolls. two thumbs up.

 

Sheena did provide me with a lift back to my joint in the MX5 to get some Loctite master gasket.

4K/5spd is all in. Not running tho.

 

does it live yet or is it still dead?

sorry i didnt mate it to help out, didnt pull up to well after a night in town

car is up and running people

i'll let ryan tell you all the troubles we had with it

thank f&*k its done! and after all that we still gotta put the charger on AND change the head!

 

thanks to jasons mum for the awesome scroll thingos!!

+3 they were awesome, but they were made better with a mixture of grease as well :P

 

oO did it sound like a v12 and shoot flames when you first started it? :P

 

actually i can imagine ryan yelling "IT'S ALIVE, ITS ALIVE!!!!" :P

Ugh, where do i start.

 

The ke30 auto crossmember is in a different spot to the manual one. so welede a plat under the gearbox mount and to the crossmember.

 

Snapped a bolt in the inspection plate on the back of the head so i packed it with gasket cement but it dint work when it was filled with coolant. So more gasket cement. still leaked. Some other gasket goo. still leaked. so pored some seal up in the radiator and it fixed it while it was running but the leak came back when it cooled. Just gonna top it up before i goto work and come home.

 

 

Friction plate was on backwards :P Got told the protruding side when towads the flywheel :P pretty easy to unhook the box and fix it all up.

Easy when you got two people under the car to lift the gearbox out anyway.

Still reckon you should just grab that head from upi as it looks to be reconditioned.

That recipe for the scrolls is mine bitches!!

:P :P :P :bash: :lol: :lol:

I forgot to mention that the friday that the rolla came off defect Luc came round with his shockers and leaf springs.

 

SO the ol girl has got Gabriel shocks in the rear and some newer lowered leaves. rides so much better. i can believe that i put up with flips and shagged shocks for so long. gotta pay Luc for the shocks and line up another set of leaves.

 

Next on the list is new brake pads and shoes and rear drums possibly. and new gabriels in the front then i can put the new lowered springs in the front. should handle like a factory fresh rolla. hopefully.

 

Took it for a hills run last night and i have the JDMs back on due to clearing the defect. The sound of screaching tyres around corners sounded so good for some reason. :bash:

 

Also, ive noticed while driving, when you put your foot down it seems to lag a little bit till the revs build up a bit then goes pretty good.

 

Considering its just a stocko 4k with a 3k head it goes soo muich harder than the old one.

 

 

I'm gonna need to put a resi in the exhaust soon and fix up the hole where the pipe meets the extractors as Luc cut it too short when he was using the system. i think that could help a little bit as it seems to lack a bit in the bottom end torque which could explain for the laginess explained above.

sounds like it goes hard man would be a rocket gl with it bud

I think I'm gonna drop a manual diff into it at some point. with the lower ratio auto diff she's all revs and not so much go :bash:
