How's the ke coming along? Where about in cairns are you from?

 

Well I sold my white AE92 supercharged Corolla and the KE35 has been my daily for the last 3 months and we both needed some time to ourselves. The little Rolla has been through a lot in those last 3 months, 2 cyclones and Floods (we were both over it) and it has now been parked in the shed for the last 4 weeks as I was starting to hate it.

 

I have another Toyota in the stables now (much bigger so I can tow a car trailer when needed).

 

But I have not had much time for the KE35 for the last 4 months do to house renno’s , but in about a months time I should be finished with the house and then its KE35 time. :yes:

 

I live in the city centre of Cairns.

 

P.S. first page has been updated :y: First page link

Just a little update

 

Did a little work on the alternator over the last week. Totally stripped, cleaned, polished sprayed with a clear with a gold pearl and refitted with new bearings.

Also last week I sprayed the block in a gloss black and fitted new welsh plugs.

If I have the time I might get to put it all together over Easter break.

It’s been a little bit busy up here with the cyclones and floods and doing a bathroom renovation but on the weekend I got a chance to measure the clearances I asked the machine shop to machine the block to.

Note I will use a plastigauge to check on the final clearances on assembly.

 

 

 

We have had that much wet weather up here and the humidity has been through the roof I have a light coating of surface rust over my new clutch fingers and a little on my light weight custom billet flywheel (I have only had it for 2 months).
