Dean_k_:) Posted October 5, 2006 Author Report Posted October 5, 2006 YoYo people! Fuel pump is diein in the car .Doh! it's spittin fuel out everywhere, i though it was just a gay seal so gooped it up heaps but no good, so it shat i guess. But alas! a good friend as an electronic fuel pump spare and it's goin for free so it's metal ass is gettin put in 2moz. grafton hill climb is on in like a week oh yeah! Its my first race and i get to fang it with no parents in the car and no popo! I'm bout that ready. Also a few weeks I'm goin for a holiday up goldy and it's being organised to put a set of 17" deep dish beauties on the rolla for the trip. theres gonna be some guard pumpin!!! ill be taken some pics of it for sure! Good Times!:2thumbs: Quote
Dean_k_:) Posted October 6, 2006 Author Report Posted October 6, 2006 Hey ya'll! Heres a pics of the electronic fuel pump that got put in. it works good and is bling and now i have a cool looking metal cover over where the old pump was in the block. It was a bitch gettin the right bit for the carby side of the fuel line. Ended up havin to cut the stock line and keep the thread n stuff and gettin a flange a few inches out so the line could clamp on right. Story time! On wednesday morning me and a mate who owns a small car enhancement joint/detailin buisiness and helps me with alot of stuff with my car had to go to lismore (bout 45min from ballina) to get some ICE stuff. Anyway on the way back we went the back way home through the twisty roads cause it's well fun. and bout 5min into the twisties, a dude ridin some hell good ducati naked style bike fang past with a bit of noise havin a go. We looked back and right befor our eyes the dude stack it. hit a bump, got death wobbles and went over the handle bars! he was doing every bit of 100km/h. it was freakin hectic seein it hey, it still plays in my mind every few hours. we did the fastest U turn eva. we thought he had died for sure. But when we reached the bike the dude was standin. he had no skin left on his hands, probably broken ribs or somethin and concusion. he was in mass pain and half the bikes motor got ripped off and it didn't start. considering the speed he was doin he was so lucky to get up and walk away. i think the fact the road was clear and him and bike ended of on grass probably save his life. his helmet too which looked like it had been taken to with a chainsaw. he was bout half a km from his house so he just wheeled it back. he didn't want the authorities there cause he didn't have liscence and I'm pretty sure he wa high. it was some hectic shit though. we were silent on the way home just in awa of what happened. pic of new pump!

Dean_k_:) Posted October 11, 2006 Author Report Posted October 11, 2006 yo. Havent posted for a bit sorry! Had some dramas with the car this week. First the fuel pump we put on wasn't regulated so when the car was at idle it was gettin flooded! took a while to figure it out after changing carbies n crap but we got there! So i went back to a new mechanical pump driven by the cam. it fixed it good. then the car still idled a bit funny and we found out the inlet manifold had an air leak. so it got regasketed and gooped and its all good now! running better than eva. BUT! i had to spend the money i had aside to enter my first car race at grafton hillclimb this week end. so i can't o that this time which I'm pretty cut cause i never get to fang hard being on L plates n stuff. but at least the rolla is running good!

Dean_k_:) Posted October 16, 2006 Author Report Posted October 16, 2006 (edited) hey yall! Hillclimb was good. suckful i couldn't race though. Still drove the rolla down though. its running so good after fixin the few gremlins. Got kicked out of grafton pool for stopin half way down the slide. it was epic and friend stayed their for bout 10 mins. We bailed cause a dude was lookin for us to 'have a chat'. he chased us out to the car and then abused us. very sico! lookin to get a sticker made for the windscreen sayin 'this is how we roll'. good times Edited October 16, 2006 by Dean_k_:) Quote

Dean_k_:) Posted November 9, 2006 Author Report Posted November 9, 2006 Hey peoples... Been a while..been payin the bills so the rolla has suffered. I'm SORRY!!!!

Dean_k_:) Posted November 20, 2006 Author Report Posted November 20, 2006 Hey yall. Can anyone tell me bout brake upgardes? i was thinkin KE55 but are they any better? iv been running out of brakes sometimes when iv been fangin it..see being on L plates doesn't mean ya can't fang it! If i could achieve maybe 20-30% better braking it would be great. Quote
Dean_k_:) Posted November 21, 2006 Author Report Posted November 21, 2006 (edited) Yes Free period!!!! I'm thinkin of havin a go at makin some fibreglass speaker pods. iv got no experience so if it fails it will still be useful lesson. my plan get a cardboard cut out of the area on the door where it's gonna sit and expand a foam a mould then a few layers of fibre glass, sand, then a few sanded bog layers. it would be great if i could spray paint it blue but would the bog be hard to get really smooth? let me know what u guys rekon cause as i said i have no experience but I'm really interested in gettin some of these fabricating skills down....
