If your parting would you sell the front pillar covers (if there still in half decent nick)? I'm after a pair.

No idea what there called got em off a wagon i got once, bloke got em off a wrecker. Never seen them in this stud pattern only on an old one tonner once and a 4x4. But if you ever find some this is what there gonna look like There 14x6-7ish to lazy to go measure them, running a 185/60

Nice car...happen to have to same. I'm taking the cheap option atm though and just doing everythign back to stock. Keen see how it all goes. How did you go about getting the supra brakes on there? Or how are you going to go about it?

Very keen to see this i lov 25's PICS PICS PICS

and that frangipani seat cover really sets it off lol

nice little rig. Any pics of the engine bay? did you do anything else to it or just drop the engine in with a T50 or what?

hahaha ill let her know

Well my oil wasn't milky after the first one went so i just left it. had to get coolant though. Gonna need oil, filter and coolant this time round though, its milky as.

And yes i know it was dodgey to put it back on in the first place, but it was a $25 gasket so i figured i wasnt losing much money taking that gamble lol

well sharp WIDE chisel is esentially the same as a razor. work fairly well. ANYWAY Its down at Better Sparess in new, there gonna skim it tomoro morning for me :-D ...$44 to get it done, bang on the money if you add gst taz_rx I'm going with the head i had here, I'm hoping the stem seals are still good in it, otherwise i might be blowing a little smoke, anyway its gonna get sold soon when my 2 door is finished. The old one had pretty bad corrosion on the one of the water ports, there pretty almost under the firing ring :-/....surprisingly the gasket held there, but the head was probs warped so i just went in the old spot.

theres the little badge and there the head

Yeh it was more coming from the coolant pissing out of the split hose and going all over the hot engine. But chances are it was burning it to. Thanks for that tip, never even thought of that, Ill be doing that this time round. The second head i have looks to be in better condition all round so i will get that one skimmed and use it.

Yep so good, so easy. yeah same spot.So clearly warped then, stuck a rule on it, and i see light lol. dang. Ive got another head here and it seems fine, I think its had some sort of work done the the 4 holes where the gasket would normaly block the water have been blocked with some sort of stuff. Its got a badge which say "GEM ENG VOID IF REMOVED" so I'm guessing they did the work on it, the looking in the end the water ports look pretty clean, not much corrosion at all. Think ill stick that one on and see.

No i didnt, i used a very sharp chisel and scraped all the crap off myself. Ive done it lasted. So the gasket wouldnt have gone because it overheated cause of no coolant? i only notice pretty late, there was steam coming out the back of the car and then i looked at the temp gauge and its way up there. I just assumed it blew through cause it was roasting??

So to begin....the gasket blew on tuesday, so on tuesday night i put a new one in.....and all went well everythying was running smooth. THEN Was heading for the Sydney yesterday morning to have a look at a car and got near wyong and this happened. The hose running to the heater core split (it by passes the heater core and just runs around, was like that when i got it so I'm guessing it was disconnected because the core was leaking or something) It was clamped on the end of the hose in front of where it split, then i push it along a little further and clamped behind it so i could try drive the car back home....It didnt want to drive lol. The hose seemed fine when i stuck it back on, was still soft, not hard and perished. so i pulled it apart this morning and found the gasket like this. close up it looks like this I didnt take the gasket off where its missing there, it got blown off somehow. Does anyone know what the hell went on there??? so here is why it didnt want to hold onto its coolant anymore, when i tried to start it without the radiator cap on it short coolant out the top of the radiator about 20cm high lol and really close up Should i have put holes through the gasket there??? The water jacket runs through there, raid somewhere your not spost to put extra holes in the gasket because certain ports are blocked to make the coolant flow around the whole engine and not take short cuts. Its the same as the old one so i figured it was fine to go in as is.

She can have one, they just would have liked her in a car with airbags...to bad, she'll just have to drive slower lol And ide like to see someone looking like the stig driving down the street in a ke. i think id die laughing

Haha thats what i said to her "its gonna look so out of place" lol. Yeah helmet it is haha, Nah I'm sure she will survive without one

mmm thought roughly what i was thinking plus a few things i haddent thought of lol. Will do some research, just thought ide ask on here to see if it had been done

Has anyone ever put an airbag steering wheel in a Ke. A friend of mine wants a ke36 and the first things her mum asked was "does it have airbags". So was wondering can it be done?
