haha yeah that does look pretty much like my car! Just needs some flairs on it. :)

 

Know if there's any more for sale?

This was the last one she had, it was actually advertised on ebay under corolla if i see another one ill let you know. :)

Missed out on the other Transfer Radrollaz, somebody pipped me in the last 2 minutes. :bash: Probably bloody Jip or somebody!! :)

 

Anyway, believe it or not I've actually made a little bit of progress lately. Had some issues in the last couple of weeks with clutches and flywheels. :rolls:

 

New speedflow oil return is all done.

My other uber light weight flywheel has been sand blasted and machined.

Head should be back from porting by the end of the week.

Goodies on the way from NZ.

Toyota just rang me to say genuine 5k head gasket is in - Was quite pleasently supised at the price of $42 for a genuine one. They quoted me $80 once for a 4k one!!! :hmm:

AND, my new clutch arrived this morning, Daim and I had a chuckle when we took it out of the box! :lol: ..........

 

 

The little 3 puck button plate looks so cute!!!! ;)

 

So now I've just gotta decide weather the motor and T50 goes back in tonight.......or I work on the missus' pug like I'm supposed to!!! :hmm: :lolcry:

 

Oh and befor you ask Matt, that is the proper K-T50 clutch kit, part number TYK-6280 HDB. :wink:

i shotgun a ride in it SI... lol..

 

Clutch is different, never seen one like that before... I'm guessing its clutch engaged, or disengaged and no in between?

[Taz_Rx]

Pretty much. When somebody said the hey a brass button clutch, that's what they're talking about. :)

[Falken_KE30]

O i see.... was thinking, cause my clutch is round.. yours sorta reminds me of a hazard sign :)

 

When will she be back on the road? and how long before you blow something else ahah

[Taz_Rx]

With any luck I'll have everything by this weekend, but I'm planning on it running again next weekend just incase stuff doesn't get here.

 

So by next saturday night I might blow some tyres off....does that count! :) ;)

[Falken_KE30]

or you could drive up here and gimme a hand on mine LOL... :)

 

And Vids or Ban for Tyre poping action!!!

[oh what a nissan feeling!]

Good to see this is still cracking along, nearly there :)

 

The clutch wont be too bad, they are still quite streetable, its when they have no spings it gets harsh.

[Taz_Rx]

...yeah like my mazda clutch! :)

 

My biggest concern with clutches now is just the fact that its still cable!!

I do like the feeling of a cable clutch, but just need to wait and see how heavy the pedal will be. Hopefully not 'cable snapping tight'!

[Redwarf]

No, it shouldn't.I've used very similar clutches in the past, and found them very user friendly. The sprung centre makes them really usable and effective, without having the "on/off" effect a full button has.

 

I firmly endorse this product/ event. :)

[Taz_Rx]

Bottom end and T50 went in last night! ;)

 

The peugeot is still missing starter motor and inlet manifold! :)

[Falken_KE30]

IS IT DONE?!?! IS IT DONE?!?! IS IT DONE?!?! IS IT DONE?!?! IS IT DONE?!?! IS IT DONE?!?! IS IT DONE?!?! IS IT DONE?!?!

[Taz_Rx]

Gilmer drives and head studs left NZ this morning, so um NO. Head is also still at Kym's.

 

......this weekend. :y:

[Taz_Rx]

Got dish?.......

 

 

Not my wheels, they're Daim's. Just checking what offset I need to fill the guards. These are probably a bit over -20 with the centres put on the other side of the band. :dance:
