Ke25 Kids...errr...ke25 Has Been Sold

[SLO-030]

Well, people. looks like the 25 will eventually have a turbo 5k sittin between the rails as i've been offered a complete runner minus turbo for about 200. it comes with a turbo head, decomp plate, 2 track cams, street cam and std. head.

 

So I'm gonna set up the turbo on the 3k and then when i get it right i'll swap it over to the 5k while its outta the car. while i swap it over i might put another 4k off a mate in it so i can still get around. and eventually part out the 3k and sell the 4k.

 

got some pics just need to upload them off the cam.

OK last night swapped the brake pads over using a mix and match of pads some off a pair of calipers i bought and some that were already in the caliper. just used the beast of what i had. will need to bleed rear brakes as i think thers some air in the rear lines. at the moment i have to pump the peddle once or twice to get up a decent amound of pressure to stop decently. maybe a friday job. Also whats a decent brand and price for diff oil? (leaky diff seals):hmm:

Thats a bloody nice car man (the KE25), even better cos you picked it up for 200 bux. I'm seriously thinking about selling off my TA23 Celica to buy one of these.

Which car man? i only paid 200 for the corolla. the tonner cost a wee bit more than that :y:. i'll eventualy get a pic of the drivers side and you might change your opinion of the corolla. Raven can confirm this. :hmm:

The KE25 has been saved from disaster once again. went down to Moana beach had some fun fangin thru the sand.

long story short,

got bogged,

got out,

got bogged after about 15m,

tried to get out,

got deeper into the sand, at thes point I'm not havin fun and the tides starting to come in

it got bogged to the point the rear half of the floor pan, diff and spare wheel well were on the sand.

tyres were free wheeling and the waters is no further than 2foot away:(

some forby owner denied a tow.

got soem guys off the beach and managed to push it out just as the water was about upto the wheels.

 

and thats my story of how Boris escaped disaster once again.

Wanker forby owner.

 

 

Though, you should of tryed making the tyre pressures lower, might of helped in the sand.

[SLO-030]

yeah tried that, but anyone who knows the Moana beach its a bit of a bitch.

 

The forby owner woulda pulled me out but he wanted $20 for it. which i only had a fiver on me.

but to think of it i saved $20 getting people off the beach to help. i woulda bought them all a beer but they pissed off before the offer could be made.

loving your rolla and the ute, too :y:

 

the bloke in the forby needs to grow a brain, he probly has a winch on it, will it ever be used? probably not now if he keeps knocking back chances to help someone else..

 

well done bogging it though :yes:

 

as long as its still kickin around with no problems then nothing has been harmed :)

[SLO-030]

I wasnt with the car when he went past but my mate was the one who he talked to reckoned when he took of he spun the wheels and almost bogged himself. but locked the hubs and off he went. on his way back past he had the balls to drive right up close and have a geez. so i yelled a few differnt names at him and he just drove off. probably couldnt use a winch if he tried.

i think i killed off whatever was left of my clutch lol, so ordered a new one this arvo and will get a mates dad to give us a hand when i put the 4k in soon.

tell me pleas, that 4k head you put on your 3k, how good did it run as a dailly driver would it last on the road or was the compression too high and needing to run off of av-gas haha.

 

id really like to know.

hey mate,

 

Putting the 4k head on a 3k actually lowers the compression whereas putting a 3k head on a 4k will bump the comp up. pretty sure a 3k head on a 4k wouldnt need to run avgas and te comp should be good for daily use.

 

If you want to raise the compression on a 3k or 4k motor a 5k head will raise compression but to the point u'll need to run avgas and it would most likely be too much compression and the engine mightnt last long:(

 

for something that wont put the motor at any risk of letting go would br to get maybe 20thou taken off the head to raise comp on a 3k and for a 4k just put a standard 3k head on it :yes:

hello again.

 

got up this morning to the sound of rain pourin down so i wondered what i could do while it rained. hopped in the rolla and started pulling out the rear inside trim and made some new ones as the originals had been butchered for 6" speakers. while i like my audio one of the previous owners had positioned the speakers right where the corner of the rear seat is :yes: so the seat was pressing against the speaker.

 

went down to home hardware and grabbed a 1200x900 sheet of 5mm masonite, (a 1200x900 sheet fits nicely into a ke25, JUST) traced the shape of the panels onot the masonite and cut them out with the jigsaw. took a bit of nip and tuck to get them to fit snuggly but got them both in, cut the holes for the trim clips and clipped it all back into place.

 

havent yet put any coverings on the new panels or cut the holes for the reccesed area yet but when i get fabric or something to cover them in i might put the pockets in aswel.

 

will take some after shots as i already have before shot but no in the procces pics, will upload some tomorrow.
