jamie - note 'engineering' in SA occurs after you get a defect and put a fresh set of plates on :thumbsup::D:D

its not like k series corolla stuff is actually worth anything a mate called a wrecker here today looking for a good 4k crank, well they wouldnt sell him a crank but they would however sell him a complete short motor (ie no head) in good condition for $50 nuff said

in the long run it will be cheaper to just use the factory injection setup and it will drive better anyway trust me on this

oil pres oil temp water temp car comes with oil press light and water temp guage standard but i like to know exactly how many psi pressure and how many degrees temp

yes inc drums on the front 140rwkw w/stardard valves on a 40+ degree day new head w/big valves (big... ive seen!) is built and ready to go on car box and diff are fine with full power being run through them probably wouldnt take too kindly to the shock of quick changes/big steps off the clutch

just got back from our little fishing adventure. went from adelaide to innes national park which is right at the bottom of yorke peninsula and quite isolated (surfers would recognise the name chinamans beach) anyway we started at a place called stenhouse bay which has a massive jetty at the bottom of these cliffs (there are no houses there or anything, its an abandoned mining area) but it was a bit too choppy so nothing there later on that day we headed over to a place called cable beach and did some pretty dangerous rock climbing to get to this little bay where we caught nothng at all. moved on to another spot just before pondalowie bay where we managed to scale down a 15-20 metre cliff to some rocks (it was quite calm) and we caught a coulple of little weedy things... still not much action decided to head west because the wind was coming from the north east and we stopped at point turton for a bit of jetty fishing. hauled in about 15 squid and a couple of other little fish before we dcided to call it an evening. woke up and it was a bit too windy so we headed up to ardrossan on the eastern side of the peninsula (about 1.5 hours away) and went for squid off the jetty there but there was no biting really, though i did get one decent bite but i ripped his tentacle clean off his body i was that excited! anyhow, about 15 medium to above average sized squid was the result!

some nice hauls there :) ive not caught a decent saltwater fish for ages. we have been fishing for carp mostly in the river and have pulled up a few 2-3kg monsters! just getting started in the world of squidding... a mate went out last weekend off one of our metro beaches in adelaide and came back with the 45 boat limit of decent squid! my camping/fishing trip starts on monday, i will ensure i update this thread with the details of the haul :)

good stuff doug but i want to see you up the compression by half a point :) ive been thinking about a 5k as well but then i can't go in the under 1300cc class at the hillclimbs (i would get slaughtered in under 1600) have fun getting that manifold back on hehe

that throttle linkage is worth over $350 on its own (trust me i know) but still thats a lot of money for a twin weber setup its a lot of hassle to get them in an early rolla (ie ke10/20) but the sound they make is worth all the heartache!

people go to extraordinary lengths to be tight arses!

i just applied for my 2S license today so i can enter the hillclimbs in 2 weeks odd timing on the thread!

ladies and gents we are 3 and a half weeks away from jambo note this will be the biggest event for small/hi tech car enthusiasts in this country EVER! not to be missed.

doesnt really matter so long as it slots into one of those things above the flat ended (non threaded) bike cables are perfect

no it doesnt rhread in it just sort of slots in there

very stiff... but safe i suppose edit - yeah the carbs have return springs internally too
