Good game, better Sydney won it than Collingwood or Geelong :)

i agree. was a bloody nailbiter though!

I guess it would've been for me if I'd watched the whole thing. Only watched it when it started raining/hailing on me while I was trying to get the brakes back together. Despite being a Hawthorn supporter, cars get priority. :)

 

In other news, I received an undersized crank pulley for a BP 4AGE from TRD ke70. Planning to put it on during the swapover, so things like my water pump & alternator don't crack the $h1ts entirely during my planned trackdays. After cruising the For Sale threads though, I'm half tempted to buy a KE70 with all the parts out there! :lol: Just sorting out postage & there'll be some more shiny bits on their way.

 

*insert suspense here*

The way it should be, RWD fo' life, yo.

say no to rwd...haha

If anything, the KE70 would be a trailer only motorkhana/khanacross car, 5K powered seems a nice setup. :)

 

An AE82 versus an AE86/AE71 with similar power to weight ratios would be an interesting battle as far as lap-times go. While at the 6hr at Winton, there was a Team GAD member driving both an '82 & a '70 that were 4AGE BP powered. Once he adjusted to driving a FWD, the '82 was slightly quicker. Having said that, the head-gasket in the '70 cracked the sads before anything conclusive could be reached. Good food for thought though.

 

It's also been happy times gathering parts, being at Winton gave me a good kick in the arse to get out there in my own car rather than riding shotgun in the safety car. Received a set of MRP adjustable coil-overs in the mail & waiting on AusPost to bring me a set of drive-shafts for an E-series gearbox.

 

 

Also dislodged some spiders & started sanding the front end of the shell. Oh yeah, miss this.

progress is progress dude :)

I'm nevious of your progress, I reckon you'll win the rego race lol :P

Nice!!! what rates did you go with on the coils?

 

Should throw them in blue thing and slam it right down for lols :lol:

 

 

 

Also I'm keen to race someone in a 4AGE KE70/AE86 around winton... ;)

What about a sev with a small amount of boost? 😂. If you want I can leave the front swaybar out of it and leave the street tyres on it. May give you both a small chance!!!

That it is, I also got the drivers-side bailey channel sanded up & primed. Had been putting off that job for a while! :lol:

 

On another note, laws regarding roll-cages have changed a lot here in Victoria recently, all 6-point weld-in cages must be engineered now, regardless of Club Rego or not. So, the plan now is for a 6-point bolt-in, have had conversations with a couple of cage builders & my reservations about them have been put to rest.

 

I'm envious of your progress, I reckon you'll win the rego race lol :P

 

Don't be, I keep giving myself deadlines to have the paint done by & keep failing to meet them miserably! It's the first time the tarpaulin's been lifted off it in months! :D

I went the usual setup, 6kg fronts & 4kg rears with the sports valving. Ordering 10kg/8kg springs as well, just to be able to experiment & find what I'm happy with.

 

Not sure BT's worthy of these, when I get tempted to throw them in, that's when I know I need to hurry up! I have other suspension for her once I acquire a set of hubs, might save some cash by not getting a KE70 & make BT the motorkhana car. ;)

Take the turbocharger out & I might have a chance! I just want to scare MX-5's. :P

Now where is the fun in that. I though running it with no front swaybar, street rubber and waste gate spring pressure would be enough of a handicap.

Youll find the 10/8's heaps better around corners if the valving is anything like mine. If its like my mates AE92 MRP coils then 8/6 combo will be tops! Ill take you for a spin in mine one day to see what the suspension is like now that its all sorted :)

 

Cmon Luke, aim higher!! You should be tagging along with me yapping on the tails of S15s and Chasers! :lol:

I'd take that on. On a technical track like winton, with a setup like that youll need to drive the s**t out of it... would be a fun (and hairy) drive thats for sure!! :D
