liighthead Posted December 20, 2012 Report Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) hey was looking into conversion on my xt130.. as most people know the starfire doesnt really have much/any kick haha any way to make a conversion legal? and/or p plate legal in vic? pretty much wanting a project car not sure which way to go ect haha. proably end up be only using it in most of a rally / drag car otherwise not sure what will buy haha EDIT: proably something like a 1983 or 86 rolla ? not sure mainly want a rwd manual toy haha Edited December 20, 2012 by liighthead Quote
altezzaclub Posted December 20, 2012 Report Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) 3TG would be the right period & maybe they were an option so don't need engineering. PM Insanity and chat to him, he's a Corona freak. Those Holden motors were just boat anchors. much better, buy a KE70, get McPhearson strut front and a 5-link rear, rather than 2tons of cross members and wishbones in the front and Roman cart axles behind. Bore it out to 1500cc 5K size and bolt on carbs cam etc... still P-plate legal, more or less. Edited December 20, 2012 by altezzaclub Quote
