the joys of organising events

apart from REunion enthusiasts..  would the saturday 28th be an issue? 

hit up alex user alfeinted as he may have a few tt141 wagon bits.  he's in takanini.  I may have some engine bits.

Do you know why the pistons/rings scraped??   did you reuse the original pistons and rings.. or new rings?  did they go back in the same bores and were the ring gaps checked?

Im no engine builder... but pistons scraping like that may suggest not enough piston/bore clearance which wouldn't be a problem if bores were honed and original pistons fitted.  which would suggest ring fitment wrong or ring lands cracked.. but unusual for all four to fail at once? 

also advancing the ignition would make it run hotter?

true that. 

how many going to REunioin that would otherwise come along?

Didn't wanna do it on easter weekend as too many peeps away.  could bring it forward a week but i wont be there unless its in afternoon.

as usual.. what does it clash least with

caffeine and classics is a monthly meet too as i understand?  how many will it affect?

is that a one day thing?

2015 Autumn Japanese and Oldschool Car meet

When:  late march?

Where:  possibly an east auckland reserve?

I'm not posting deets here coz I cant edit later .

So any conflicting events on 29th march?  speak up now!  last'ish weekend for daylight savings.

Looking into proposed venues.. one being Omana Park, Maraetai.

Want BBQ feed.  who can assist?

Discuss

prob too far out of your way.. my old man has his own wood workshop at Waiuku.  He setup what was the franklin mens shed so the stuff on facebook is doable.  Not sure if he's running evening classes anymore but i could ask?

dad had a mg? sprite?  convertible thing with spoke wheels.

70's hilux.

honda civic 2nd? gen.

brown ke36 wagon, 4 kids in the back going AKL to gizzy and back every christmas.  back firing down hills.

'81 ke70 wagon.

Falcon 500 wagon. got pinched/ joyrided/ written off.  police rocked up next day saying they'd found it.. we then looked in driveway and noticed it missing.  cops said they'd jammed a key in the ignition to start it.  But that was permanently stuck LOL.

Datsun 1600 ute, big dent in the door from the neighbours goat.  with 'THE GOAT' written on it.

'81 bronze town-ace (round headlight), so lush with aircon in the back.

Austin allegro, grans handmedown when she stopped driving.

'85 fxgt corolla. learned to drive in this.

highschool mate lost his virginity in the townace at a party.

family history of driving them till they die.

yea it'll have elec dizzy.  depending on year it could be internal or external ignitor.  can also use a 2tgeu diz which is more common.  tps is common to many 80's toyota.  even the fwd 2e powered ep70 starlet had same spec tps. 

not complete engine. but enough to build one.  which i am.  one day.

that engine better be saved!  if anyone goes knocking.. ask price + efi bits

shiney!  nice choice of P-plate too.

quintins site has a bit of kp61 4age info.  http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~quibel/Starlet2a.htm

can buy kp-4ag mounts on trademe.

efi can be the biggest headache if you're not clued with electrickery.  plenty online guides for wiring 4age's so google is your friend. 

Can get away with a brake pad upgrade for cert but can easily cook them when hacking around a track.

K50 and std diff wont last forever if thrashing it around all the time.

a bit spendy, but Weir performance in the US i believe will make 86 axles to custom length.  if ever one breaks

can you fix the pics of diff/axle stuff?  not working.  so 650 complete live axle head 4.3 ratio trd lsd?

being a 4ag bell it'll have the square flange on the input snout.. thats another way to tell a 22spline vs the round flange of a 20spline.. if the bell hasn't been swapped already that is.  output shaft splines (driveshaft end) is the only failsafe tell tale it seems.

Short shifters are personal pref, but need to have good cups on the ball ends otherwise easier to select wrong gears.  Shorter throw means can run taller shifter.   just be cautious if it's a cut/welded shifter as a poor job can break on you.. like i had.  in my early days bought a trd short shifter. shifter turned out to be a diy welded jobbie.  it broke at meremere selecting 3rd and over revved the 2tgeu (lightened flywheel, no rev limiter) and it run a bigend.   

price on slipper?

also how sure are you thats a 22spline t50?  have you counted output teeth?  the bell is 4ag for sure...  it's just I've never come across a 22spline with the big nut on the top of main casing.  and i've seen many many.

Is welder still being a cunt?   if thats a single phase boc industrial 250c then i got same. shes a good welder.  took me few goes to figure out the wire speed is also the amps.  The two selector switches are the volts.  So get enough heat into the weld with the wire speed knob, then tinker with the voltage switches until you get a nice crackle to it.  If it sticking in the weld or wire pushing gun away it's not enough volts, but heaps of spatter and plasma ball is too much.   I tend to use not even a quarter amps on car related weldies.  the burn back adjustment knob inside above the wire feed gears stops the wire burning back to the tip and sticking to it after you stop welding.  Theres more than one set of feed wheels available for using different wires like alloy.  you probably know all that but just in case
