  1. just linked mine up with a piecs of fuel hose clamped onto the throttle shafts and ran the cable off the back carby as I didn't get the linkages when I got my minifold, but if its a restorer then this wouldn't be original.
  2. Unfortunatly my old man had one of his periodic clean outs, probably due to mum telling him to clean out all of that car shit, and the rest of the wood grasin facia (dash vents, glove box lid, heater control panel etc) went to the tip :) :P :D so all that is left is what you can see :D The wood grain is only stick on shit so it would be easy to remove or replace.
  3. close enough Raven Kanga, would love to get hold of that footage some how.
  4. Been floating around here for a long time and I finally got off my arse and got a few pics of the Rolla. It has been used for motorkhanas for a long time so that is why it is covered in mud underneath. It is too hard to clean off. grotty looking 5k :) at least the oil leaks don't show up much side shot. Mods to strut mounts are not visible not factory tacho dash behind aftermarket tacho another interior shot modified rear springs so there are only two leaves Circle shows original control arm bolt hole (technically illegal with some clubs but who looks :P )
  5. Hey, I've been looking for a pair of safety thongs for work. I mioght have to go there and get me some :)
  6. I must be old school, I always try to cram as much rubber onto a rim that would fit. Ran 225's on a 6" rim for a long time.
  7. In vic, they didnt worry about the 5k in my KE35. Just changed the engine number. Even had to correct them on that as they stuffed it up.
  8. sounds like you need my old mans cam from his old rolla. Used to come in HARD at just under 4000rpm and keep going. The lobes on it were almost square!
  9. Mine isnt a Wade cam, its just ground to their specs. I found the 169 specs under Triumph in the Wade cataloge. The specs are Lift (at lobe) - 0.269" Ex opens - 75deg closes 36deg Inlet opens - 41deg closes 70deg
  10. A couple of others for me Kick Start My Heart - Motley Crew Cheeba Cheeba - Tone Loc Youth Gone Wild - Skid Row
  11. or search swapmeets as thats where I got mine
  12. Youve heard and seen mine run Kanga. You need a bigger cam than mine, Wade 169.
  13. Swap no. 2 & 3 plug leads. Hold foot flat and hit the starter. Backfires will clear out some of the shit. And by the way, remove aircleaner first :kiwi:
  14. Yes it will bolt to the motor :) No it wont fit into your shell ;)
  15. Remember to run big arse cables as the voltage drop will make it a bitch to start if you don't. Use grommets to stop your cables from shorting out when you run them through body work and make sure you bolt your battery down securely.
  16. heres where I show my age La Grange - ZZ Top Telegraph Road - Dire Straits Bow River - Cold Chisel Most songs from Pink Floyds Division Bell album Miss Freelove - Hoodoo Gurus
  17. Actually there are a gazillion around, only 120 of them are genuine :D
  18. Yeah, that would buy me a house, a bloody big shed and a heap of rolla's to fill it and still have change
  19. clicky clicky nearly $700k, anyone wanna buy a low mileage rolla????????
  20. Went to a first birthday party over the weekend and in the back yard were a couple of rollas. One was a KE70 sitting on its guts and the other was a KE55 Hardtop that is being built up sitting on 16's There are also a few others being driven around atm so I will try to find out details on them. Talking to one guy who is/has built a supercharged 4K and split the block.
  21. 9/10 as it was taken on a phone heres one from when we were on a flying finish in an ARC round (can't give any more info than that as we were not supposed to have a camera :D )
  22. don't be greedy, it would only be worth a slab :wink:
  23. smart arse....... Sunset shot taken a Knysna in South Africa. In the forground is the roof of the Pilot House where we were staying.
  24. I agree Felix. Ive actually softened the rear leaves to get extra bite on the dirt.
  25. Nah, shes basically a stocker $100 5k with carbs (freebies), cam and exhaust. Don't know about the dyno program, but she was competitive with most of the other rolla's (including 2tg's and 4age's) we come across and a large number of datsuns and escorts as well. Shit, I must be good enough behind the wheel to make up for 1.5:1 CR loss :P
