7shades

And its on like donkey kong bitches... hehehehe *disclaimer* 7shades will not be bidding on this gearbox

That ain't no K-50... Looks a helluva lot like a T-50 to me...although extension housing is different... its further forward than normal... and as for the bellhousing, definately not A-series... could be K? Looks like it, but its absurdly cheap if its actually a K-T bell. I'd go out to the shed and have a look for reference but its dark and there's dog turds everywhere

eeeeugh that reminds me of my upbringing in a town full of wogs... and dodgy backyard Grappa. As far as booze goes, it makes great paint stripper.

oooh I forgot to mention, I've been drinking these 'WKD" Iron brew things for a while now... they're an RTD but not disgustingly sweet and syrupy like all the rest. Frikkin tasty.

Ahem At this point I would like to declare my girlfriend manages a bottle shop. Free samples ftw :evil: My picks: Grey Goose vodka, Laphroaic single malt scotch, Hennesey VSOP with a wedge of lime.

I have one... I will find out about freight cost and let you know. Might be scary... Just waiting to hear back from a forwarding company.

nah... still a risk of drowning there. Keep us posted on this dudes exploits... may be a candidate for next year's Darwin award if he manages to dispose of himself in a creative manner

If this guy owns a car, I'm never driving south of oh say, bundaberg ... Just to be safe.

Micro-sleep my arse... even Dr. Karl couldn't explain this one. Micro-brain maybe...?

You think that's insane... I drove around the entire continent in a ke70 wagon once. THAT was insane. No wheels fell off, but I did munch a gearbox, which I removed and replaced in a gutter just outside Darwin.

Oh man this NEEDS a backstory.... how the hell do you NOT avoid a frikkin big pond?

It was still worth it... if only for the fact that it is a clean, straight, rust free ke70... a rarity in the tropics. Also has chilly aircon... also very necessary up here. As a bonus, it drives tighter than rolla__boy's mum and it pulls like a schoolboy. More torque than I've ever felt from a 4k... Head gasket is already fixed (took me all of an hour this morning) just gotta smack some new studs in and some stock springs and its ready for rwc.

Welcome to Townsville... where the desert meets the sea. Trivia: Did you know humans actually LIVE here? No really... like thousands of them. God knows why. Sweet mother earth approacheth with alarming rapidity. I learn later the pilot was in desperate need of bladder evacuation. Vehicle collected, Townsville abandoned amidst much haste, the journey back north began immediately... aaaand promptly stopped again 80k's north with the temp needle so far to the right it was fighting for space with the tacho. Cause of problem established... Milkshake anyone? The dreaded BHG... Every liquid on hand emptied into radiator, 80kph, 50 kilometer stints, main highway, no double lanes. Trucks were angry. Strange wobbling from the rear, odd clunking noises.... Whoomp, screeeeeeeee Wheel falls off. Corolla spears off road into ditch. Much cursing and gnashing of teeth. Jack car up... Girlfriend sent to retrieve wheel from nearby cow paddock. Smash brake drum back on with rock. Reattach wheel... pilfer wheel nuts from other wheels. One stud snapped, opposite one mangled. Now running with 3 nuts on most wheels, 2 on the back left. Scared. Managed to limp to parental unit's place, conveniently located halfway between Townsville and Cairns. Inspect damage. Deep gouges in rim Bits missing from centre hole One stud snapped, one mangled and bent. Managed to get a nut onto it though. 3 studs is better than 2. NEXT DAY 30 litres of water, 5 litres of oil, 300k's and 5 hours later... finally home. THATS how hard it is to get a decent rolla up here.

Thats cos ice is made from dirty filthy tapwater. Which is fine if you live in Cairns, where the water comes untreated from a mountain river and no chemicals are added.... just filtered :P

Couple of Coronas there too... I didn't think there were any left in SEQ that Des hadn't taken the headlights out of...

Take off your door trim, there's a little number on the arm that comes out from the back of the lock barrel. Take that to a locksmith they'll be able to whip up a new one for a few bucks.

Owned this for about half an hour today... took the parker lenses and dumped it.

wiring schematics in f@$kING japanese...

^^^ "daddy, when I grow up, can I be forged and fly-cut?" :D

Making fun of people makes Geoff feel big in the pants. Usually, he just feels warm in the pants.

Angry. Angry young man.

^^^^ hehehehe now thats genuinely funny.... um, I hope you were actually making a joke then

Correct... plug n play. I have an AE92 tacho cluster if you are looking for one.

Um... we've actually already rebelled. Thats why we DON'T have daylight saving. We don't really need it bein' so close to the 'quator and all...

People who like to buy cheap cars off other people who bought them a year ago and now can't afford to pay the rego and insurance so ave to flog them off wholesale :) *swoop*
