mdw003 Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Posted October 12, 2012 haha I don't really have choice, I'm running a 4spd so anything over 90 is screaming, well with 13" rims mine is just tucking in the rear, and I can go lock to lock with no issues I'm fairly sure my rims are mazda 626, 13" 5.5, they fit well Quote
Jono.C Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 Everytime I think I'm over ke10 wagons, I see one and just want one again!!! Arghhh. Looks nice and clean! The lowering on 13's looks good Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 I'm fairly sure my rims are mazda 626, 13" 5.5, they fit well Those are the exact dimensions of the set I'm getting next weekend. Need to find some blocks before then. I'm glad mine been converted to a 4K/5 speed. Quote
mdw003 Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Posted October 12, 2012 Everytime I think I'm over ke10 wagons, I see one and just want one again!!! Arghhh. haha that was sort of the reason I dove on it. like I said, I hadnt seen one before this one, I had seen ke26 wags and harrased the bloke to sell it to me but he just laughed at me. Quote
mdw003 Posted October 13, 2012 Author Report Posted October 13, 2012 (edited) Random update, got the thermo on, and the temp controller ect.... also tracked down a set of Ke25 front disks dust shields and calipers, I'm hoping ill be able to get rid of the drum front Iv had a good read through of Jono's Disk brakes for noobs thread :P so it seems within my cobbleing skill range can I use my hubs (Ke16) with the ke25 setup? this is the only thing thats got me ??? Cheers, Mick Edited October 13, 2012 by mdw003 Quote
Jono.C Posted October 13, 2012 Report Posted October 13, 2012 (edited) Nope! You can't use the ke10 hubs i'm afraid, You'll need the ke20/25 ones :) Glad my guide thing can help! Edited October 13, 2012 by Jono.C Quote
mdw003 Posted October 13, 2012 Author Report Posted October 13, 2012 Dang it :hmm: hope the guy has them for sale, I can only assume he does, hes changed to 114.3 so he wouldnt have any use for them. Cheers Jono Quote
Jono.C Posted October 13, 2012 Report Posted October 13, 2012 I did have some you could have had for nothing but i gave them to 'Nostalgia' last week! I'll have a look around though i think i may have another pair here if you get stuck Quote
mdw003 Posted October 13, 2012 Author Report Posted October 13, 2012 cheers mate, I'm waiting for a reply from the bloke, Ill let you know how it goes Quote
mdw003 Posted October 17, 2012 Author Report Posted October 17, 2012 has any one got a pair of these laying around? I only need the lenses, Quote
mdw003 Posted October 18, 2012 Author Report Posted October 18, 2012 had some people ask about the fj40 I had previous to the rolla, ill put a few picks up, and a few other random ones of my big waggs The fj40 lol I love that one :D And the ss oh I almost forgot the Ke55.... although it looks good the 55 didnt have a single good thing going for it there was so much rust and bog and the clever use of gaffer tape, but that little 4k just kept going, I drove it 500kays home 1 hour after i bought it for $400 :P Quote
mdw003 Posted October 25, 2012 Author Report Posted October 25, 2012 just a question, we started the rolla today and it wont idle. Having a closer look we have deemed the carb needs a rebuild, so where is the best place to get a kit from? I'm not 100% but I think my carb is from a 'k' or whatever the car came standard with, it only has 1 vac line to the dizzy. Any help would be appreciated Quote

Haha, supercheap I'm allways in there, why didnt I think of that :doh: It's been a while since an update, so here we go, pulled my finger out and finished the exhaust, got the thermo fan all mounted wired and working sweet, I have no idea how the old steel 2 blade thing that was on there worked, Put all the front end back together, with new headlights, now I can retire the old candle power ones :P At the moment I'm playing with the idea of fitting a gps speedo in the original dash, sounds crazy but theres a mob in the us called speedhut, that make heaps of different styles and sizes, bonus is I can get a speedo in km/h that has a fuel gauge or temp gauge in it aswell I'm just trying to get it the right size so I don't have to cut my original one up to much, but on the other hand the only thing on the old one that works is the temp guage..... and thats only if it feels like it.... well thats where its at for the moment, I'm back in there on monday so ill take a few update photos ect cheers Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted November 17, 2012 Report Posted November 17, 2012 If you want KPH on the dash use JonoC's trick and put a KE20 speedo face in. Unless like mine your speedo is totally out. That GPS speedo is pretty cool though, got a link to the website? Quote
