AE25

trdchick's point has been clarified thru the aftermath, as harsh as her opinion is! i dont see the need to discuss this anymore. the backlash is pretty clear how other club members feel about it so hope ya think twice bout makin comments like that in future.. hmm another oldschool thread turns poos.

i look forward to seeing both club's stands at future shows.

well i was bloody happy to see the club-k stand there and representing! ok some of the cars may not have been in shiny show condition but its a great start and will surely kick off something even better for future

some pics here from friday http://www.toycrazy.net/gallery/nats/2006/index.htm

i was impressed by this guy's display

say hi to the guys in the club-k stand i'll be the one in short shorts + jandals talking oldschool this, turbo that etc garble

dates:

fri 27th 1pm-9pm

sat 28th 9am-5pm

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

funny guy

my sig is ae25 but you dont see me driving that now do ya

did you enter? which car was it?

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

i thought this was fucken cool! pity they wont produce it

unfortunately my car not ready as i'd planned on entering.. oh well

ive got a few vids.. will *soon* be putting up the 1ton ute doing the 20sec twin popper and of MORG the black hearse. the blown beamer too oh and the mk1 esky. pity my mem ran out when i vid the blown v8 s4 rx, that was mean as

i liked the turbo rotor blue lancer EX thing revvin the tits off it.. pity rotors putt out when they get hot

nice writeup nige!

im not a fan of big wheels or modies either heh but those orphiks do look nice and would be my pic of the two.. tho hope your wagon is a cruiser

17x7 look like biskits imo

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

looks to me like an RT40 corona

oh geez

keep eye out for the next nzpc mag.. it'll be in there

might eventually be on the website?

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

ive yet to find one that says differently to the chassis numbers

kp60 = 2k 1000cc

kp61 = 4k 1300cc

kp62 = 3k 1200cc

scotts dad ben owned bj's heh. they had the white starlet wagon for spares too and yeah i was pretty gutted when it shut and i too raided the place for parts before they shut. 8x ke2' rollas in one wrecker!!
