nerfbat Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) thanks mate.!  and yeah, got a sad email tonite, i apped for historic rego thru toyomods and got the reply  "Hi Zowie,  The KE10 looks awesome and appears to be suitable for historic rego.  Only problem we have is that Toymods can only do historic rego in NSW  Kind Regards,"  so yeah i need another club to go thru guys. any suggestions for clubs i can try? can't find a website for rising sun, and I'm sure i grabbed a flyer from the last show at Banyo.. oh well..

towe001 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 Thats a bugger. Â There's a club in town here called "Toowoomba Hot Rodders" They have a facebook page - http://www.facebook.com/pages/Toowoomba-Hot-Rodders/370703554683 Â They also have meeting once a month or something at the harristown school - I had a pamphlet of theirs a good while back, so it'll just be from memory. Â Toowoomba rod and custom shop - 1 Tradewinds Ct, 46344-2733 Might have some info. Or should, cause when i was at the hot rod show on sunday quite a few of the cars had club and historic rego. Quote
nerfbat Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Posted March 13, 2012 thanks Rob. will keep trying. i will pay full rego if i have to, but i srsly wont be driving her much to warrant it... Quote
PHATKE20S Posted March 14, 2012 Report Posted March 14, 2012 Call Allan Taylor (RSCRA) 0416 312189 Quote
nerfbat Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Posted March 14, 2012 thx Dougy..! i tried the number i found thru google it said its disconnected. will try that one youve linked, now. thankyou..! Quote
nerfbat Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Posted March 14, 2012 man, either I, or the website i looked it up on, are errm 'special'... the one i tried the other day was a digit out/wrong, lol rang him, he is cool, and seems like a great guy. heading down when i pick up the 5k this week. I love you Doug, in a non ghey way, of course..! :-) /salute Quote
PHATKE20S Posted March 14, 2012 Report Posted March 14, 2012 Thats cool mate Happy to help a fellow KE10 owner, I have had a few of them so I can usually help with any problems...... Quote
nerfbat Posted March 16, 2012 Author Report Posted March 16, 2012 thanks Dougy..! ok, so got my extractors and 2" sports exhaust fitted today, kept the tip looking original. got that finished 9am then raced to the RWC inspection where i told him it was going on club rego, also told him a little about the car, where it came from, etc. seemed genuinely interested. called me this arvo to say it had passed and just needed a tune, and possibly a kit thru the carby, as it had a dead spot off idle. so, all it pretty much needed for the roady was the exhaust fixed..! should be rego'd monday..! will take pics tomorrow Quote
nerfbat Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Posted March 18, 2012 (edited) Dougy...! holy sht..! went down to Brissie to see Allan Taylor (RSCRA) i had sent him an email with the car's and my info, on friday. i get down there, he has the letters for the rego, my member card, a heap of newsletters, some classic toyota info(fcking awesome), among other things. oh and a sweet rising sun member grill badge. think i spent over an hour chatting to him. coulda stayed all night, he was that easy to get along with. checked out his Toyota Will(i'd never heard of one b4). anyone thinking of joining a club, run by a toyota guru, and all round nice guy, give him a call. website coming soon, he hopes Allan Taylor (RSCRA) 0416 312189 so, i then leave there to pick up my 5k. also got the honour of seeing Joel's amazing 4 door...! wow. this thing, and in fact, all his other rides, make me want to not bother with a 'rides thread'. this car is a thing of true beauty, and when we were talking about her, and how rare they are, i actually got choked up a little. they remind me of the Sakura, in a way. they bloom for 3 days, wilt and die.. many people liken them to our lives. so yeah, it really got me thinking of how we really need to look into preserving these 'cherry blossoms'. i read in one of RSCRA newsletters about Tim Holland trying to build a Japanese car museum near Brissie somewhere? I, for one, would like to look into supporting something like that, maybe as a club, if anyone is keen? so, tomorrow morning she gets registered, tomorrow arvo, the 5k transplant begins..! once again, thanks Doug for pointing me to Allan Edited March 18, 2012 by nerfbat Quote
nerfbat Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Posted March 19, 2012 She is regoed!!! Didnt buy the 'special interest' Plates. Got my 'KE10' ones to go str8 on when they arrive. Will start the engine transplant this arvo Quote
nerfbat Posted March 20, 2012 Author Report Posted March 20, 2012 the RSCRA member grill badge off Allan(much love) Â Â started ripping out the 3k. there is so dammn little room in these things, lol should be out tomorrow Quote
