AE25

dates: show fri 27th 1pm-9pm sat 28th 9am-5pm drag sun 29th 9am-6pm look out for a dodgy lookin matt black ke70 coupe heh dats me

i have a 2y bellhousing to fit a supra box for sale dont have the box tho. and yeah the Y motors are not built to revs.. just plod along like a hiace or whateva does

argg give us more notice next time, i woulda met up, i was just around the corner that night too! i found that place was funny rather than scary. oh and coming off the papakura exit is easier to find the place i reckon wait for the maize out the back to grow then do a korn-evil night.. or if they ever get the paintball running dat would be mean

where bead blasting comes into its own is where theres a fair amount of surface rust or worse... the bead/sandblast gets rid of it all so when you get it back your only left with the decision of which parts to cut out or fill in. you'll never completely get rid of pitting with sandpaper without thinning and weakening the metal which also takes time and manhours theres no point in a sandblast if your just repainting

hilux's come with a w59 often which will have clutch parts... or the G series boxs in hiaces and liteaces, townaces (G52 G55 etc) interchange with supra box. like the 5k powered liteace has a bellhousing to fit a supra box etc.. funny shit.. but yeah find one with the clutch slave on the correct side as your w57. clutch forks vary in length and pivot point location so find one that suits.. pickapart is a good place to stuff around

you could try thin out the foam and maybe put some harder foam under it to harden it up

theres some guys in waiuku that have started a beadblast shop just for cars.. a mate had a mini completely done and underneath too then they spray some fancy etch primer over it before you get it back.. i think that cost $700 and my panelbeater mate says he'd never sand a car back to metal again! they're booked out till jan tho

keep eye out for the next nzpc mag.. it'll be in there might eventually be on the website? http://4androtary.com/

reece mcgregor having a heads up with an 8sec camaro.. will be interesting to see

i reckon cruize round town with everyone but have a meet up time and place so can head down to meremere as a group then park up down the back and camp out also anyone seriouslyl entering the show or drag day?

heh when my mate parked up he said the row next to him all had opened doors hmmm

also it handy to have a terminal bolted into the engine bay for the starter and power wires to bolt to around where the battery originally was.. just make sure it's insulated from the body lol im about to do the same. if your running a lead/acid battery then try vent it to the outside especially if theres sounds nearby. have heard of speakers and amp corroding from battery fumes

heh yeah tiz rough. but good thing is engine is unmodified apart from exhaust and intake! so plenty i can do to make it quicker (ie i/c)

most diesels have a w59 or w51 with a low ratio first gear im running a w55 behind a 3tgte and it not so bad with a 3.9 diff but too tall for the other end of the 1/4 if i want full rev's in fourth. maybe good ratio if i were running 12's or 13's t50's and w55 arent too dissimilar in ratio.. when people refer to a 'celica box' they should also mention whether it steel or alloy case as w50 and t50 are mostly considered celica boxs even tho they come in just about every other rwd toy in the 70's

massive turnout! i was racing the black KE70 corolla running consistant 14.7 which saw off a cyborg and bretts 4agte ke30 which blew the box, then a last run of 14.61 against the 13bt 120y but i got dicked. entered da burnouts too if anyone stayed that late fun nice to see a couple other ke70's, ke30, mark's ta22, the datto's n eski's out there

http://www.toycrazy.net/gallery/d1nz/round6-05/images/d1nzr605-077.jpg yea thats me. na didnt enter this one. you'll see me out there next season tho some more oldschool pics from the day... http://www.toycrazy.net/gallery/d1nz/round6-05/index.htm

wat a hot day! started more like 10am and still people queued up lunchtime so the commentary went. id have to say that was the biggest one yet and great competition from the top guys! congrats to Will and Nick for getting their old toyota's in top 16! lowlance ... ha are you dyslexic? *FAC LON ZOR*

did mine in a couple days.. just a quicky coz it looked like shit multi coloured. gave it a good scrub then scotched it with jif which adds to the abrasive.. or 400grit paper. washed n dried it off. leave overnight. masked up what doesnt need painting. made sure garage is free of dust.. i vacuum the concrete coz sweeping only stirs it up. just before painting wipe it down with 'wax and grease remover'. this gets rid of anything not sanded or paint wont stick too well. need heaps of light so see what ya painting. need good ventilation or respirators or you'll be feeling pretty warm n buzzy. im no painter not by a long shot but anywho... some tips.. start off with a very light puff coat or a few depending if you think the original paint will react too much.. (starting with a full wet coat on old paint or primer tends to cause crazy cracks n stuff as it desolves the original paint i think). start light and then lay it on thicker and thicker with each coat finishing with a full wet coat. this was with matt black heh.

yeah me mates one is sitting in my garage. ke30 4age. was built by someone in invercargill and made its way up here.. we swapped in an ae82 4age after original 4age died, kept all the fwd bits on it too cept intake and exhaust manifs.. mounted remote thermostat under intake and added a spigot bearing and put on t50 etc some info here.. i can answer Q's if needed. http://www.toycrazy.net/gallery/corolla/jd/jdke30.htm i've also stripped a 35 4age conversion and put it in my ke25 SR coupe which is tighter fit than a 35. see my website link

what times this meet? meet up at the BP solar just south of papakura? say hi if you see a yellow ke26 wagon or black ke70 coupe

er yup just to let peoples know details on d1nz http://d1nz.org.nz/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7014

think 1060kg for the TT142 Corona GT-T a std 3tgte in a ke70 with pod and exhaust will pull a flat 15sec 1/4. not bad if you ask me! then add i/c, bov, tuning and boost! as to the pushrod 3t.. i wouldnt be expecting much from a std one... do need a cam and few bits to get up going. check out http://www.toyota3tc.com for better info on these. plenty info on the forums! the block and cranks are bulletproof. sub 10sec starlets in the states/peurto rico etc are proof! what box was in the corona? the 3t will have either a T50 alloy split case box or the steel case W40 or W50 which are stronger. the t50 will go in easily. 20spline driveshaft from the ke35 will fit it too unless its an '83+ T50 which are 22 spline. w50 need mods to gearbox crossmember and mod driveshaft. will have to cut the tunnel rearwards a lil to clear the shifter unless its the real early t50. shouldnt have any steering clearance problems if mounted in correct spot.. 2t came factory in the te31, te37 and te38 in the states and japan. (could do a search). will need mods to engine mounts to fit it to the k series engine crossmember. anything efi will cost heaps more for the conversion (4age 3tgte) ask nvmy30 on club-k for opinion, i believe he drives round in a 3t powered ke30. f1erce: putting 3t crank, rods and pistons in a 2t block is still only going to be a 3t (1770cc). (block are pretty much same thing). need to bore it up to 89mm and use oversize aftermarket pistons for 2ltr

fat tyres are such a kiwi thing, but handle like crap.. try some sideways action on em and they sloppy as. stretched is so oldskool jdm and i love it but not to the extreme as some them japs do also tyres with sidewall protection like the old dunlop fm901's give em that extra stretched look without actually stretching as much. 185's on a 7" rim is good enough for me. im running 195's on 15x7 and still looks a lil stretched

could you have flooded it? maybe pull plugs and make sure they arent wet or fouled. why not fix starter? 3 things you need are compression, spark and fuel if theres a wire coming off the carb make sure it has 12v going to it as it's a fuel cut solenoid.

go check http://www.toyota3tc.com heaps of info on there to convert to twin cam you basically need a complete 2tg to swap all the parts over
