Jordain Posted July 3, 2011 Author Report Posted July 3, 2011 Thanks guys. Just waiting on a gearbox mount and ford BA engine mounts now. I got a 180sx crashed shell coming today from a mate for the transmission tunnel. School holidays are nearly over and that means so is Corolla'ing. I've gotta forget about the corolla for a about 13 weeks then I can get stuck into it. Schools more important! But I will still be buying and updating occasionally. I want the engine and gearbox mounted into the car before I go back, then some of my friends are going to finish it off for me. They will be mainly doing simple stuff but time consuming stuff... boxing the firewall, swapping the tunnel in, tailshafts, getting the rack connected.. stuff like that :) Quote

Jordain Posted July 4, 2011 Author Report Posted July 4, 2011 coolest part is it will be daily driven by my mum hahahahah! I was going to put my 12a PP motor into it, but I forgot mum was going to drive it haha! Quote
ninja-philbo Posted July 4, 2011 Report Posted July 4, 2011 gold. my old girl used to drive my 300rwkw cefiro all the time 80mm off the ground and never even scrathed the kit . i used to smash it all the time haha Quote
Jordain Posted July 4, 2011 Author Report Posted July 4, 2011 it's a shame I can't legally drive the car for another 3 years.. Stupid engine conversion rule for P platers :( Quote
Drewby Posted July 4, 2011 Report Posted July 4, 2011 Jordain, I've been keeping an eye on this thread fof forever. You're an inspiration to me, and I love the way you've really gotten stuck in. You obviously have knowledge beyond your years, and you should be proud of yourself. I have neither the time nor cash to do anything like what you're doing now, but one day the BEAMS will be going into my KE30 and I can only hope it comes out something like your little KE10. I know you said you were dreaming but mate, let me tell you, you're only keeping the dream alive for some of us douchebags with an ounce of the knowledge you have. Thanks for the thread, it's, in a word, amazing. D Quote
Jordain Posted July 4, 2011 Author Report Posted July 4, 2011 Copying this, obviously it will be slightly different but very similar. Ford BA engine mounts. I'm just waiting for my engine mounts, gearboxmount and a few other goodies and then I can get stuck into it again. Hopefully have it all mounted by the end of the week. Quote
WET.K30 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Posted July 6, 2011 were did u get those lights?? and can u get em for a ke20?? Quote
Jordain Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Posted July 9, 2011 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/12V-7-Round-Crystal-Headlights-w-LED-Halo-Angel-Rings-/130527516127?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1e640bd5df Ebay mate, just a standard 7" crystal headlight. I'm 99% sure they fit KE20's Quote
Jordain Posted July 10, 2011 Author Report Posted July 10, 2011 Hmmm well. I've put the gearbox in the car and well.... :bash: It fits...... but its behind the rib which is smack in the middle of the bracing across the floor and I'm not keen to cut that out unless I'm 100% sure the things going to get engineered. I won't be working on it anymore for about 12 weeks as I have my HSC to finish off. Its already taken enough time :hmm: See you guys in 12 weeks with an update! Quote
