Ella Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) Hi guys, First things first... My names Luke, i'm 24 and nuts for rolla's especially KE70s had heaps of rolla's including a track spec AE82, a AE86 with big port and a locker and choppy commodore springs, A ex speedway motored KE70 (65 kw atw yo!) and a Ae71 with a locker and lairy home done paint job... I decided recently i needed a lifestyle change so i moved to Brisbane :y: living on the north side in Redcliffe (OK deep north lol). When i was living in Darwin my house mate was none other than Ancullen (whom most of you may know as the mod for the nt section) he will vouch for my awesomeness when he discovers this thread... Anyways Ive gotten myself another rolla which later on tonight ill put up in the my rides section (been too lazy to ever do one till now) so you can all see it, in the meantime its HERE IN THE FORSALE SECTION Also i have a Ex Victorian police VL turbo I'm busting my balls to fix (its brokened) and save the coin to bring down but you guys prolly arent interested in stuff like that haha... As any of you who have surfed it know the NT section is dead az but i see this section is much more happening! Will be doing my best to get my arse out on some of this stuffs you guys get up to (if i'm invited lol) and meet you all! I live out in Redcliffe (well Clontarf but everybody knows where when you say reddy) The rolla i bought needs a bit of work but i have a Haynes manual on the way from repco (should arrive wed) for the stuff i don't know about (head torque specs and order of torquing). The car also needs rego and therefore a roadworthy, anyone out this way know someone who's going to be easy on the old girl? (tires are close and a couple of bubbles here and there in the paint from rusty spots...) Lol that's like the biggest mouthful ever, so ill shut up and give you lot a chance to reply yo! Feel free to add me to your msn ([email protected]) or say hi via our PM system... Cheers guys, Luke Edited January 30, 2009 by Ella

Ella Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Posted January 30, 2009 hey andrew, cheers for the offer but ill be busy working on my keto all weekend... maybe another time tho love going camping and stuff like that!

Ella Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Posted January 31, 2009 I'm at mt gravatt and could probs have a look at the rolla as I'm a mechanic and ill let u know how she would go if u brought it to me for rwc Um yeah? that'd be sick as hey... Pulled the head down last night and replaced the bits that were loose (last rocker arm had come off and the clip and spring shim that hold it on are MIA lol. bit worried they might be in my sump but ah wells. Anyways got her all back together all nice like and she started first piston up, but it still has serious amounts of noise inside the motor... but worried that somethings up with it still... anyone got any ideas? its a 5k with big cam and flat top pistons, brand new reco head and supposedly (haven't had the sump off to check) brand new bottom end gear. Anyone who knows these motors real good want to come have a listen? hrmm if not ill pull it and drop in the good 4k i have here to get it running and send the 5k to the engine re conditioners for a look inside it. can anyone do this work too? or recommend someone to pull it down and check it out? Also would like to have the bottom end balanced while its all out and maybe have the head shaved a bit for some extra compression.
SLW42 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 it isnt all that hard to drop the oil and pull the sump off aye it's just a whole heap of 10mm bolts!!!!
Ella Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Posted February 16, 2009 Lol ive taken care of all that stuff now the motors going back in shortly, then its only a small rust repair and a interior away from being rego ready... might have all that sorted on the weekend, if thats the case, AErollaguy you still wanna come have a looksy?

Hey champ, yeah I'm still keen to have a look over. but when suits u and me could be a chalange... i think i will be busy all this weekend with the missus, but if next weekend is fine with you????
Ella Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Posted February 16, 2009 lol might have it inspected by then but if not then for sure :wink:
Ella Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Posted February 19, 2009 hrmm works been slow as due to a few things happening, mostly the need to strip out my spare parts shell haha. I'm in need of a thermo fan that fits a keto radiator, or a clutch fan to suit 5k, my 4k one don't fit and shroud too it over heats when you let it idle :D the car came with no fan on it... weird. might just buy a thermo fan after its regoeded.

sly70 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 hey luke, welcome sounds like your in the same boat as me. lol.. i recently purchased my second ke70, bought it as a learner drift car, i have just finished spraying it and putting it all together. i only have to do the rust repair, as you have seen. and then rwc and rego. once the guard is done it should all happen pretty quickly. i also need a rolla friendly rwc as its chopped and locked. will hopefully see you and your rolla out on a cruze some time soon. cheers natt
sly70 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 did you pick up all 3 of those? love the flame job... nice :) bargain there.....
