Ella Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Posted March 18, 2009 yeah one some or all of the above??? LOL. hrmm i havent bought a 4k in ages, usually the exchange of beer in a box is enough, although you say ths ones in good nick? that might mean its worth a little more, but shit i dunno man give us a price (prolly best to take it to pm this isnt a wtb section LOL) the one in my car now is a genuine 55,000k motor runs so nicely, but i bet it will live a short life if i do go entering kalbar... this car is my daily driver, so its good to haves a spare engine in case things go pear shaped, the 4k was my spare, but i blew up the 5k hehe. any ideas what a new oil pump, and the machining will cost me for the 5k? ill get it all apart maybe on the weekend to find out how bad zee damages is, but i needs a fkking engine stand :D better go visit supercheap lol.

love ke70 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 lol, yeah man, engine stands are so cheap, not worth borrowing one. just make sure it has 4 wheels, the old 3 wheel ones fall over with a big motor on them...woops id say the 5k is fairly rooted. heres hoping its not, but i reckon that it is...pull it down and have a look. maybe it blew a headgasket at the same time too and just hydro-locked... all guess work til you open it up. i have a parts motor you could ahve the pump off etc if you wanted, or the whole thing for cheap if you wanted, its just in my way and i can't be bothered pullign it apart to sell for scrap, although seeing whats wrong with it would be interesting, just no time.. just PM if you wanna make an offer, if not ill just keep floggin it round the yard every now and then for a bit longer :D Quote
Ella Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Posted March 19, 2009 what is said parts motor? if its a 5k then fk yes! or is it a 4k? Quote
joeschmo_57 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 did the 5k originaly goes as hard as my 4k did? Quote
love ke70 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 never ran the 5k, bought it stripped, inspected, sold it on Quote
Ella Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) did the 5k originaly goes as hard as my 4k did? lol the 5k went much harder till it self destructed :P in fact the 4k in there now goes almost as hard too, gotta gets me a cam for the 4k i think haha hrmm seriously though, no more money is being spent on this car now until my VL is running again. the last thing i have to do to finish it off is put a set of wheels o have lined up, will suit the car to a tee... wil put up pics when i have them here :hmm: Ive made the final decision, the flames are here to stay... the reception i got from people all through the city last night was great, seems everyone loves the rolla with a matte black paintjob its just going to be another keto, at least the flames personalise her a bit...

Ella Posted April 6, 2009 Author Report Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) hrmm well things have changed again for me. The VL has been sold, and replaced by a toyota sedan from the same period. Will put up a EOI on this rolla once ive finished doing up the interior. unless anyones interested in it as is for a little cheaper. everythings there i just havent put it all in yet. got stockers on now but i wont post a photo cause it looks shit, as soon as i get my wheelnuts from JiP ill be chucking on the wheels i traded him for and ill post a pic they are old school styled 14s with a little bit of dish. Also they are powdercoated purple in a similar shade to my flame job so they will look good methinks. Also i have HIDs :party: Edited April 6, 2009 by Ella Quote
