NAME :Brodie
MODEL :kp60
YEAR :1980
ENGINE : mildly worked 5k
thought it was about time i did this as i sure i have not made 1 yet.
i bought my bugeye just about 1 year ago now when i brother wanted to to aussie after i brought this for him. and i could not think of him selling it to some little fruckwit that would destroy it so i brought it back for the princly sum of $1200. when i brought it back it onl had 86,000 orignal km's on the clock. it now had 108,000 on the body and about 10,000 on a rebuilt 5k.
the 5k is pretty standard for now. it is sporting a standard 4k carb that sheldon had rejetted the secondary jett for me. it has got a cam that we have no idea of the specs as there is no markings/stampings on it. all we no is it is as lumpy as hell. on top is a ported/polished and skimed 4k head and is still running the standard hydrolic lifters. it breaths through a ramflow filter and gets rid of spent gas' via coby extracters into a full 2" zorst with a 3chamber middle muffler and a stainless dumpy at the rear. it is legally to loud (104.2dB at full noice & 102.2dB at 4000rmp) but once new motor is built the zorst will be made more legal. other than that there is nothing really flash bout it except for the gilmer belt drive.
is is lowered all round with modifyed factory front oil shocks with motor oil in them to make them stiff as and superlow lovells springs in the front and the sway bar having a bit more caster pulled forward. in the rear it is running compressed superlow king springs and shortened shocks.
wheels are 15x7" konig rewinds with a zero offset and are wearing 195/45/15 GT radials.
me and sheldon have got some big plans for the new 5k motor i have just brought so once the weather clears up abit ill take some pics of the new plan. and we will see what you think of the proposed plan
