GJM85 Posted July 29, 2012 Author Report Posted July 29, 2012 Had issues with the 32/36 loading up with fuel but have got it sorted. Just pulled the carb apart and put it backto gether again. WIERD! I picked up a ke70 throttle cable. I took out the cable itself and shortened it to fit into the ke20 black cable thingamadoo. Just so I could use the end that fits onto the carb linkage. Bit of chopping and crimping and wazzam! Now using 5/16 fuel lines and machined a new pvc stem for the manifold. The idle ciruit tuned up perfectly but it still misses when you give it a bit of pedal under load. I think Evan is right and it needs bigger air corrections being 165 pri and 185 sec. i'll go a pair of 210's instead (egay). Tax time is here so I think i'm more than ready to drive this car... I'll get it rego'd then get the exaust redone, wheel alignent and then have the rear springs rest so I can lose the lowering blocks. Quote
GJM85 Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Posted August 17, 2012 Got registered today. Hooray! Had a fueling issue on the way home and died. Sorted that and then got flat battery at the chinese shop in town. The diff hits the exaust over medium bumps, the exaust rattles on the gearbox cross member and the rear wheels scrub. Alot. Man I love my corolla.. Quote
kickn5k Posted August 17, 2012 Report Posted August 17, 2012 Got registered today. Hooray! Congratulations Gav!!!!!!!!! God I love this car. Thinking I need to head up north and repay the visit sometime. Quote
GJM85 Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Posted August 17, 2012 Yeah man. That'd be awesome. Thanks for the love Stu. MMuch appreciated. Quote
GJM85 Posted August 18, 2012 Author Report Posted August 18, 2012 I took the rear lowering blocks and took them to Custom Line Engineering where my brother milled them from 50 to 35mm. Sorted most of the scrubbing issues. Yay! Quote
GJM85 Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) Tune, tune & tune some more. Waiting on more jets. Spent 80 coins so far. So I should be a weber jet wholesaler by christmas. :pirate: I think I've got it nutted down to 140/150 mains, 185/195 air correctors and 50 idles. What's your opinion on ignition leads? I haven't bought a new set yet for this thing yet. Just using old ones I've had around or pinched from the wreckers. I decided to clean up a set of Bosch Super Sport 8mm leads to swap with the Champion leads I had fitted. The Bosch leads are all the same length where the Champion leads all vary, so i'm wondering if it'll make any kind of difference. Bit of WD40 and some towel and they're like brand new.......minus the white printing that used to reside on the lead. :thumbsup: The rear axle is out of alignment so I can't get a front alignment till thats rectumfied. I just used some of my super 20/20 vision power and adjusted the passenger side tie rod till it match the drivers side a bit better. While on my back I gave the old girl another couple of degree of forward caster. Finally i've fitted the home made front strut brace I bought off some random egay seller. Holy ʞ©$ɟ what a difference it has made to the handling. Super duper responsive. Cereal. I'm booked in at Right Price Exaust, Slacks Creek for a new exaust. The home job we done ain't cutting it. 2" system straight through from the extractors. I'm hoping they can use some of the stuff that's all ready there to keep the price down. I was told by a bloke at work who has a 351 Fairlane that it sounds like a lawnmower underwater. A very close analogy. Edited August 21, 2012 by GJM85 Quote
GJM85 Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Posted August 24, 2012 Another tune 140/155 mains, 160/185 airs. Heaps better, still a little lean as the secondaries come on so i've got a 165 air corrector coming. Also got some new Champion leads. New exaust today. 2 inch straight through using 15inch glass pack muffler. $170 because I supplied the muffler. Too much power. Broke the alternator mount on the way home. WOOT WOOT! Quote
GJM85 Posted August 25, 2012 Author Report Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) Fixed the alternator mount and a few other things that were bothering me. 5 hours work actually. She goes like the powers of piss. It pulls up hill in 5th from 80kph. Torquey little ʞ©$ɟer and man does it like to rev. Edited August 25, 2012 by GJM85 Quote
