Des' Ke10 Resto.

[Des]

:cool: well thats one advantage of old Toyota's over old Mazda's, they are notorious for rusting out the windscreen corners, but thats also probably due to the way they are attached with the chrome strips around them. :bash:

Yeah my old Mazda was rusted hard core around the front and rear windscreens.

 

The only rust in the shell is in the spare tire well, Some small holes in the roof but they are away from the gutters which is a bonus, and in the bottom of the rear quarters.

 

EDIT: Also found a good re trimmer that does overrated work, Gonna go with the stock red colour.

I'm pretty sure RTA and shit doubles a rotary.

 

Ie. a 13b, would be 2.6 litre

 

I dunno how many times people say that, My mates 13BPP RX2 (factory 12A) is registered as 1.3L, The fire wall compliance plate even states the 12A as a 1.2L (597x2 or some shit) so what right do they have to say its a 2.0, 2.4 or 2.6, Will get pics of plate and rego papers if anyone wants to argue.

Rotary displacement explained here. :bash:

[Des]

Good, Now if its mentioned again I'm going to slap some one.

[Jono]

...but from a government department just to back it up:

 

http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/dow...s/vsi/vsi06.pdf

 

see table halfway down the page.

 

the displacement of a 13b is 1.3l (650cc x 2 rotors) but in terms of ENGINE CONVERSIONS they are counted as double.

[Des]

Only because you provided good info i wont slap you. :bash:

 

But yeah thats f@$ked coz rx3's weigh f@$k all and can have a 13b turbo, All i want is a 10a or 12a if i went that way which i most likely wont.

Id slap you Des if the KE10 got a rotor.

 

Stick with a K motor but I support your 5K conversion :bash:

[Trev]

Maybe its if you stick a rotor in a not factory rotor car do the rules apply :bash:

[ke11restorer]

I'm right.

Trust me.

I own a rotor

[Des]

Alright no more talk about rotors, If ya's want to chat about it make another thread away from my ke10 thread please.

Got a pair of Ke20 hubs today so i can put on the Ke15 disc's when they arrive. Found a grille in reasonable condition but its painted black :bash:

[ke11restorer]

Just get the steel wool onto it Des

She'll clean up a treat :bash:

[Jono]

how big are the ke15 discs. how come you don't put ke55 discs on?

[Des]

Because the Ke15 setup i got has new pads etc and was relatively cheap, And I'm not sure if a 12" rim will fit 55 disc's

I'm not sure of a 12" rim will fit 55 disc's
