Mark's Ke55 Rolla

[project_KE55]

Hi guys just thought i'd put a post up about my corolla that i've had for about a month now just fixing little bits on it here and there.

 

hope you like it?

 

So the day i bought it (The cream one)

 

 

Not so long ago..

 

And what it looks like at the moment. (colour looked good in can but its a bit bright on such an old car i think :bash:)

 

I tested the lights and bumpers out to see how they look against the custom metallic blue

 

Just a few other things

 

Tell me what you think of it?

 

Cheers :y:

Hey guys i thought i'd better put some more stuff up on here so here it goes,,

 

SURPRISE HAHA

 

 

Looks to be good, i've started it but i haven't driven it yet. I'm getting a VL fuel pump for it later on today.

 

Bursons has ordered me a master cylinder for my hydraulic clutch, so i'll pick it up tomorrow.

 

I put the exhaust and tailshaft on today. Yesterday i finally got the gearbox & crossmember in.

 

Also cable tied heaps of the wires in my engine bay. looks alot better.

 

Anyway enough talk, i hope everybody likes it. Tell me what you think.

 

Cheers :no2:

Ah that's where Casey's motor went.

 

Best thing I think you can do with the motor is to start saving your pennies for some dyno tuning..... and I'm talking at least $500. I'm sure it'll go really well once thats done though.

 

...and if it turns out to be less than $500 you can go shopping. :no2:

[project_KE55]

Yeah i got the 2T i havent put the fuel pump in yet. its been raining too much and our carport/garage thing is still full of junk from my 18th on saturday lol.

Tomorrow I'm going to bursons to grab my clutch master cylinder.

I got myself a Holden Camira fuel pump, does anyone know if its gravity fednot?

[Taz_Rx]

Is it an in tank pump or external. Chuck up a pic and I should be able to tell you.

 

Did casey give you the rising rate reg aswell?

[project_KE55]

It is a external fuel pump, its also alot louder than i expected too lol.i've set it up now and it does its job well. yea casey gave me the malpassi rising fuel rate too, but i can't figure it out. i'll put a pic up and can someone please label what pipe plugs into where? sorry but i've never mucked around with anything like this before. cheers :lolcry:

Thanks so much fellas :lolcry:

 

got to love the mallpssi regs there so strong for there age

Do you have the fuel pump mounted on some sort of rubber mount?

If its hard mounted to the car it will be noisey as hell.

 

As reg, looking at the first pic:

right hand side is fuel in (from pumps)

left hand side LOWER goes to the carby

left hand side UPPER is the (post butterfly) vacuum/boost refernce

and the one out the bottom is the return line, which goes back into the surge or fuel tank.

 

:lolcry: you've even got some of my old Ortach (fuel line).

 

 

Oh and this might also help you....

Yeah it has the rubber thing in between the pump and bracket but i havent actually mounted it to the car yet.

Whoa thanks so much TAZ. Now the regulator makes sense. I'll have to try it out first thing in the morning.

i hope everything goes smooth from now on. i can't wait to drive it!

Hopefully it goes well. :lovin:

Thanks so much for all the help. i might need to ask more questions 1 day lol. (I havent swapped a modified engine into a car before, only standard 4Ks haha)

thanks so much once again taz

Here is just a random pic
