4g63 dohc turbo is the answer my next project is going to have that rwd setup already got most of the bits

i wondered about this, because whats to stop someone swaping plates on there car and just smacking the number with a hammer so it can't be read? then saying a story like its been damaged when the engine came out and then just making a tag to put on hmmmmmm.

hey guys/girls i have entered my car in a comp on the Ford NZ site to get a miniature version of it made and it would be great if you could go to this link and vote by clicking on the stars under the pic cheers http://www.fordsnextminiaturemodel.co.nz/most-awarded/profile/id/112

this is sooooo kool i to wish i had crazy mates keen to do some mad missions looks like so much fun

there was a celeste with the starion 4g63t for sale on trademe in blenheim for ages but now i can't find it. don't think it sold

like the last guy said, is there no way you can treat or seal the pine to protect it like a varnish or kiln dried h3 with a stan over like they do for decks or somthing? i don't use wood for much usually it metal so its a bit over my head lol.

i done this on my wagon a few weeks ago had to change to negitive earth and from 6volt to 12volt it was real easy most modern alternators have voltage regulators built into them the lucas one is easy as it fits fords they come in escorts etc hardest part is making it so it mounts up so the belt lines up and you able to tighten the belt. once you got that remove your voltage regulator and hook the wires up to bypass it then there is the 2 wires to your gen you just need to find the which wire is which and hook to the right pins from the generator and test it to make sure its working it would be best to check with your local sparky what wire is what as alot of cars are different but thats all i had to do to mine.

i seen your truck the other day driving into town didn't realize it was the same one till i looked on here and saw you were in blenheim lol it looks huge will it fit through tunnels in kaikora? could you not put the plywood pannels up and then the pine over top i know this will add extra weight and more time but that way you can still have the look??

hey just read through all 10 pages mint project looking good but noticed that none of your you tube clips are working so couldn't watch it run

lol it will be a sick ride one day

hey if anyone wants to add me on facebook click here or search Billy Lockwood

yeah thats that the g/f dad has done to his he drove mine round for a bit and reckons the breaks even though there drums work just as good if not better then his and not to change them he said there is some sort of break booster that i can get he reckons thats all i should need to do to make that real good and its cheaper and keeps it orginal as for the lowering im looking into a few options but with a lack of funds i can't see it getting done for a long time but one day it will get there

mint i have only seen a few of them around the south island usually there all black ive got the original owner ship papers for another one to i was thinking bout tracking it down to see if the new owner would be intrested in them

i haven't looked at the paper work that close to see were i was made but it is on tv every so often in the Lamb & Haywood funeral homes ad yeah made it 12 volt when i was getting it on the rd 6volt batterys cost mega and wouldn't go flat trying to get fuel to the engine after sitting for a while i still have all the 6 volt bits real easy to change that photo of it doing a skid was taken in 1984 its my dad driving and there are heaps of pics in the parents photo albem of it doing skids and drag racing lol but they had heaps of cars a nash roadster and a 69 mustang which he took to oz when he left can't find any pics of the old nash at this point

my g/f old man brought a 57 runchwagon after seeing mine he's kinda done it the way you said

yeah its not to bad aye it likes its fuel a little to much though but it gets off its arse and has heaps of room with 2 bench seats only plans ive really got for it is maybe some tints and to get it lower to the ground

This here is a long term project of mine it belonged to my parents they were the second owners of it and they have given it to me now i still have all the original owners papers right from the day it was first put on the rd 1955 Ford Runchwagon 272 V8 (boat anchor) 3 speed manual ya just gotta have a pic of it smokin up this is when i decided to go pick it up from my parents to get it back on the rd for the Hot Rod Nats in blenheim cleaning up the holly carb fixing the leaks from it sitting for so long also had to replace recon and fix every part of the break line since it was last used in 2000 also gotta watch your head on the bonnet latch it in just the right place to bang your head on all good on the rd at the park up for the Nats cruse even managed to find some time to put a little doof doof in there in the form of a cd mp3 head unit some 6x9s and 2x12" subs TALK HERE

yeah it does real good skids but im on my last diff and axles they are way to weak

trying not to ask a dumb question here but are you sure the battery isn't flat as it dosn't take alot of power for dash lights to go takes a bit more for it to wind over?

yeah the guy I brought it off got it from some guy up north and said it had 69 on the doors so he sanded them and primered made a mess of that too

hey can anyone help with ideas for a engine mount i need one like a S1 rx7 12a the shop says to use a cortina mount but there twice as thick i need it to be thin so it dosn't hold my engine high also does anyone know if a liteace van diff will work in the ke30 ive seen the axles are jsut bout the same as a hilux one and there already 4 stud

car specs: 1979 ke30 toyota corolla engine 4age 16 valve blue top gearbox T50 diff std (soon to change) lowered (but not enough anymore) 13x7 superlites bucket seat plans for the car: lower it again pull engine and box out and repaint engine bay and engine and box tidy the inside of the car paint the outside a new color

ok this is a project of mine ive had it for a while now so i'll start at the beginning and bring everyone up to date TALK HERE this is when i first picked up the car not going turned out the hose clamps on the fuel line was lose and wasn't getting any fuel pressure it already had a 4 age conversion done and certed but was very rough with the engine on a huge angle which made the drive shaft on a Z sort of shape made it vibrate real bad found that there was a heap of vacuum hoses that had been pulled out so the map senser wasn't hooked up and the tivis so first goal was to get it running better put new spark plugs leads dizzy cap etc hooked up vacuum hoses now it would idle and was driveable still needed more work checked timeing and it was way out and i couldn't get it to adjust in thought it was a tooth out so tryed moving that all it did was make it WAY advanced or WAY retarded went to a mates place he had a engine looked at his dizzy and noticed the cap clips were a fraction different so stole that and put it in and swaped all my bits on to it that brought the timing into were the marks were and made it run like a dream so ive since been told that there are 3 different dizzys for the 16 valve blue tops next was time for a wof and reg took it down for a check the guy didn't like the way it was lowered with cuz springs with only 2 coils in the front and reset springs with lowering block holding it hard on the bump stops in the back and according to the cert plat the ride height matched but he wouldn't give me a wof till i lifted it a bit so out came the lowering blocks in the back well i hunted for some new springs for the front i found some std ke30 front springs but for some reason there a different diameter and the top and bottom of the shocks plus the shocker have been shortened so went to a car wreckers with one of my struts he had a huge bin of springs from unknown cars found a pair of king springs that were bang on for size and put them in made the car way to high in the front so they came back out and with a little cut cut shhhhhh lol they were brought back down to a suitable hight and were well and truly captive as the shocks were short as back for the recheck he was real happy with it so it was all legal YAY next i found that the engine was on cortina engine mounts that was holding the engine real high had a mate that had a S1 12a mount in his shed that was the right thinkness so used that and made a dummy one out of a bolt and wood for the other side to see if it would fix my engine hight and angle issue and what do ya know it did the car is starting to get real good but every time i fix somthing it seems somthing else goes wrong the exhaust had been made for the engine on the angle now that it was down the exhaust bent up and went "rattle rattle rattle" on the floor with a quick chop and weld that was solved and a trip to repco turned out that S1 Rx7 mounts don't exsist anymorre if anyone can help me with a idea to fix this PM me next on the shopping list was a set of mags found these through a mate 13x7 superlites they look mint as you can see the height the wof guy made me put it at is bout 50mm higher then cert plate says so im looking at changeing this soon

sounds like a lack of fuel to me i had the same issue with my blu top 4age it turned out to be lose hose clamps on the fuel line into the tank so it was getting poor fuel pressure
