  1. I've just driven this on a 1300 km round trip so I am feeling inspired to talk shit about it but more on that later.
    Jeepers, it's been a few WOFs since the last post.. I'll sum up the last couple years..

    I did a grass auto cross, it was a hoot

    I changed the cluster for a rev gauge one (shout out to Matt for the wiring diagram. that would have taken me far too long to figure out)

    The inevitable happened, and the 2k just wasn't cutting it anymore so I started to build a 5k (got a cheap van, drove it home and pulled the motor). While I was building it, a well used 5k came up for sale locally and for what it came with, it was too good of a price not to grab. I gave it a birthday, put that in, blew the head gasket driving home from getting it tuned, replaced the head gasket and then had a few months dorting around.

    I was told all the classic yarns when I got it.. bored block, ported 3kb head, oversized valves, massive cam, high compression etc. Which surprisingly, were true. Unfortunately the lifter prolapsed.

    With my tail between my legs I ripped the trusty 2k out from under the house, gave it a spray can rebuild and put it back in place.

     Murry wasn't all that to deal with

    For what it's worth, he was really helpful to me (as a commoner, who knows nothing).
    Pricey, yes but not much more expensive than if I imported plus he gave his time on several occasions to help work through various options which isn't something you get when scanning through a website

     

    You may have caught him on a bad day

  3. We had 5 KP's going to a coffee and cars meet at southwards a couple months back, was cool.

    I'm taking the KP, gave no real thought to a wider OS presence.
