Nope

I like it... To the point!

 

Will be good to see this on the road again chief, will have to go for another ride!

I picked up the motor this arvo. I want to upgrade the cooling system as it was always a bit marginal, especially on warmer days.

 

Still deciding on either PWR or A.R.E for a radiator. Probably PWR and a 3000CFM 16" SPAL Fan for ease of ordering and you never hear anything bad about them.

 

Looks like the strut brace is going into storage too as I think it will foul on the IDA.

 

I'm in the middle of house hunting, so that has priority of my time at the moment. As long as its running before Summer, i'm happy.

sounds amazing bro, hopefully i'll get to see this beast in person some day

love it

I found some motivation today and fitted the new motor. I also relocated the PWR oil cooler.

I have a PWR 55mm Core Radiator on order, so the engine wont be started until that arrives.

I am waiting for the new batch of Short shifters and gear knobs to be machined up. I'll throw one of those in when they are ready.

 

I also wouldnt mind ordering some new carpet for the front as i have a hole where the old shifter location was.

 

Anyone know if you can still buy genuine heater tap pipes for a KE30. Mines a little leaky, and I have had the heater bypassed. Last time I drove in the rain the car fogged up in minutes and was a real pain in the butt.

 

Tommorrows work includes:

- Fit Tailshaft and fill up gearbox

- Fit bonnet and grill

- Wire up the engine

- Bolt in the Oil Cooler

 

Anyway heres some pics from today.

 

Siiiiiiiiiick mateeeeeeee!

 

I look forward to a ride next year!

Thats fine with me.

 

I should be running the front mount and more boost by then :)

sorry mate, its near perfect but you gotta get the gilmer drive kit on it. Mine sounds unreal with it on and i know you would love it!

I got one in the shed that I used to have on it. Yeah it was fun to have......but the twin V belts provide the same non-slip properties, with the added peace of mind that theres a backup belt if one fails. I'm about to fit a PWR Radiator and 16" SPAL fan, so room is a bit of an issue at the moment.

Maybe one day i'll chuck it back on if it still fits, but theres really no benefit from it other than the awesome sound.

 

Hows your car going? Last i read, you were looking to offload it.

nah i wouldnt sell it mate,

 

 

yea nothing of late, been busy buying boats and 4WDs. I'm going to fraser island yewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

nah i wouldnt sell it mate,

 

 

Good to hear.

 

Yay for a 4 day weekend!!! My new Radiator turned up during the week....picking up my new K&N Air filter tommmorrow. I ran out of time trying to pick one up cheap so i went to repco this arvo after work. They quoted me $230...i said "nah don't worry about it, i can get it for $165", so then he spent an eternity bashing keys on the keyboard and finally sold it to me for $160.....really makes it clear it pays to shop around....or atleast bullshit a bit :P

 

Still have to work out the sensor in the radiator thats supposed to turn on the fan.

 

Then I have to grab some angle and weld up a new accelerator cable bracket. After i help the younger bro move that is.

Anyway heres the latest pics.

If its just a 2 pin plug in the rad then its probably just a pass-through style temp switch. Relayed power on one side, power to rad off the other. :wink:

 

Oh and what K&N did you get 3.5" or 4.5"? I got a 4.5 for the mazda and couldn't close the bloody bonnet! :lolcry:
