Rhyscar Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Thanks that would be awesome. Shaping up to be an awesome event this year by the looks, all new roads starting from taihape and finishing in fielding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivaspeed Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Cool car and good progress tidying it up If this is the car I think it is, was quite active in events back when I lived in Christchurch early 2000s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLIZZO Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Nice work. My fav form of Motorsport by far. If you ever need advice my father in law is a big dog been rallying escorts for 20 years kinda fulla. Sold up last year and built a swift but has a bucket loads of experience. Especially in the doing it cheap department, his other rally car at the mo is actually an Austin allegro which he built to make A point that rally can be cheap and fun and still competitive. You guys will love it, can't wait for day breaker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep it will be the car your thinking of. It was quite well known down those ways. Was built in 93 I believe by 'TRD south' or something like that. We bought it from Ross Cameron who apparently had two of these (other may have been a KE25), his son ?nick? rallied this one up until a year or so ago when it got parked.

78lancer Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Rhys, Ross and his son shared this car over the years I believe,had been parked as son went over seas to work for a motor sport shop, no more info than this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phatt20 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 cool car man, gutted bout the engine .what did the motor go like while it was going? know much bout the specs? did it start smoking when it was dying or perhaps just something silly like tight valves/you proly already checked the basic stuff.

Rhyscar Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 It went pretty well. Had been dynoed at 130hp before we got it. More than enough power for what it is anyway and plan would be to get it back to that as it works awesomely with the new TRD close ratio box. It was definitely a fuel issue. The front plugs on each carb were lean/melted and the rear ones were running rich. Weather it is a problem with the carbs themselves or with the fuel pump/regulator we aren't sure until we pull it down. We also had a few electrical ghosts in the wiring as well with alternator/starter motor/dash lights So fuel pump could have lost voltage at a few points so that's another thing to check it's all correct.

HighLUX Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I missed a chance to come say hi during service cause it took me so long to get around there from the first stage, sounded sweet powering through those corners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatt20 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 should sneak a 5k bottom end into it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyscar Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Oh gutted yeah it was a long way to be towed all the way round to serice park (ss6 was a rerun of ss1) Nah 4k is plenty of power for throwing some stones. Will keep it simple and just fix the issues and slap it back together with genuine everything. Plus don't want to risk loosing COD status from motorsport nz which means it's eligible to run in the classic class and increases the value of the car by a couple k..

Dell'orto Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 If its only .010 over, I have a set of Arias forged pistons that would handle detonation/big revs well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyscar Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Oh sweet Brad may have to take you up on that offer. Guna get new (old) 4k and probably start from scratch. Nick took head off tonight, hole in piston and valve and cracked head. Bugger. Now to learn about how to build a sweet 4k in the next month before daybreaker.. not quite sure how we will make it happen but won't be cutting any corners 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
