Yup plain old 3k. came out of a mates crashed ke30...so i knew it ran. Ive got a 4k as well but i never saw it run and was to lazy to pull it appart lol. the power difference wasnt worth the trouble.

[JiP]

Definitely get yourself a 5K if you can find one. You'll be surprised with the power increase.

[skd30]

mmm iveread/heard this around the place....unfortunately i haven't got the funds.....if i get the new youth allowance startup thing i might be in with a chance of getting one :-)

Didnt get a whole lot done today, sprayed the metal part of the dash satin black...gonna be covered with a fresh dash carpet when the cars together. also played around with the wiring a bit more....just figuring out how the elctric dizzy hooks up. Theres plenty of old threads and faq's to help me with that. I'm off to newy again for a couple of weeks so wont see anything happen till i get back, but its been a good couple of days work so its a fair chunk closer to being done.

 

Might organise for it to get picked up and painted while I'm away, gotta see how much i get rubbed back this arvo.....back to it now...

[skd30]

spotted a few cars around today.

 

ae86...bloke who owns bar on the hill at Newcastle uni drives this

 

 

 

saw a overrated little mazda 1300 up the street, no toyota but still....

 

 

and had my 55 parked in an odd spot....got tucking lol

 

 

Passed a clean ke20 and saw a overrated looking k3x wagon driving up the road...was pretty happy to see all these goodies lol
