[sheppo]

and if anyone knows who rebuilt the engine and done the build id love to get in contact with them on
here and have a chat about the car
all feedback welcome and remember im still new to this world haha

[sheppo]

having a few starting issues :( seems the starter solenoid has gone!! hopefully source one this week!! *fingers crossed*

turned boost down to 7 PSI a lot more road friendly now :)

[wagoooon]

what psi was it running when you got it? get it suss i wana see this thing boosting down cement hill

[sheppo]

was on 14psi
yeah one of the guys at work might have the solenoid I need if not hopefully source one by the start of next week!!
it still runs but need to be roll started everywhere.. :(

[shift_rook]

sweet car, looks like a reasonably setup rig. good to see your input to it

[wagoooon]

awww shit awel atleast u still have the white one !

[shift_rook]

for brake upgrades there is the peugeot/hilux option, the RX7 or the wilwood setup. i search on these forums of those options will come up with enough info

[sheppo]

sweet car, looks like a reasonably setup rig. good to see your input to it

thanks mate yeah she runs pretty nicely and has been set up fairly well
can't wait to add my own touch to it though and fix a few little things!!

[sheppo]

thanks mate not too sure yeah want to tidy up interior and do coilovers and front brakes first but we will see down the track

[sheppo]

need a new starter motor solenoid!! anyone know where I should go for this?? just an auto sparky??

[willa]

What's your starter doing? I just did a 4agte conversion in an e7 and the original starter wiring has too much voltage drop, causing the starter motor to stuff up, so I'm setting up a new starter relay.

Will.

[sheppo]

I've heard of a few people installing a relay for the starter..
everything is firing up and you can hear the solenoid clicking over but it's not 'firing up' the starter motor so to say everything else is working fine..
if you tap the starter motor with something like a tyre iron then try turning it over it fires up straight away

[declan]

this is my old rig, jesse kalb and his brother did all the engine work.
shame about the turning down of the boost, this thing flies. i beat a 450kw clubby in it...

wicked little setup!

edit - just thought of a couple things i'd mention,
that gearbox seems to be on it's way out (if it's the same one when i had it, second gear was always dicky) get a w series box
don't bother with T series diff, just go R31/tarago/hilux
can i get my hangring out of it? haha kept forgetting when tyrone owned it

thanks mate paid $6500 for her and yeah all the hard work done really just need to tidy up a few loose ends and finish it off really!

still undecided what to do to her first though might have a week or so to think about it

[declan]

haha yeah just watched that off the KE70 page on facebook!!

haha yeah i run that!
i miss this car so much

[sheppo]

haha awww don't worry I'll take good care of her!!

[sam2306]

i have a nice bit of footage of this thing

[sheppo]

Please send my way :)

[sheppo]

So fitted a relay set up this morning hoping to solve the starting problems I've been having.. No dice at all.. Might need a new solenoid or starter motor??

[sheppo]

Pulled the starter motor out yesterday afternoon solenoid is cactus so went toy local auto elec today got a good price on a new starter motor and solenoid.. About the same price it would of cost to get the starter motor reconditioned!! :D
Hopefully bolt her in after work and fingers crossed that solves my problem.. Will need a heat shield for it though!!

[sheppo]

New starter motor is in and starts first pop every pop so far :)

Need to look at getting a heat shield to protect it a little bit from the heat!!

[sheppo]

Think I broke some solder connecting the fuel pumps to the battery!! I've had two fuel cuts since playing around this afternoon!!

And put a dent in drivers footwell with the jack!! Idiot!! Haha this will need some banging out with a mallet!!

[sheppo]

Not knocked out the dent in the foot well and got it nice and smooth!! Hopefully new wheels will go on this weekend :D pretty excited

Picture I snapped off the new iPhone 4S pretty decent phone I must say!! Props to apple again!!

Anyway as you can see its a pretty dirty and messy bay!! But this will all get tidied up slowly little projects here and there though!!

[sam2306]

you work with cameron at holden yeh?

[sheppo]

Yeah I do man how you know him?

[sam2306]

i go to tradeschool with him

[sheppo]

ohh nice ill be out there end of november..
not looking forward to getting sussed hard everyday driving in and getting asked a billion times what engine im hiding under the hood

got some RE002's today 195/50/R15 just waiting on wheel nuts to arrive and need some guard rolling before they go on and after they are on to fit em nice and snug :)

[sheppo]

Yeah BOOIII :)

[sam2306]

Haha yeh, if you have a locker you get so many looks

[sheppo]

haha yeah true that man

[sheppo]

so front wheels are fitted took a tiny bit of guard rolling to fit but all sweet now fills :)
waiting on my wheel nuts so i can fit and roll rears :) hopefully they come this week
also picked up a fixed back bucket seat for $100 with ae86 rails!! fits nicely and its a snug fit very happy with it

having issues with the car though.. having an intermittent problem witht he engine!! it will all of a sudden just start dieing on me and i need to turn the key off and back on again!!
not sure to what it could be :( started a few days agao every now and then but now its becoming more and more frequent

[sheppo]

Unfortunately I was in the wrong place at the wrong time the morning and got slapped with a defect on the way to work!! I've been given three days to drive it :(

So now I'm on the hunt for another ke70 already lined one up to look at this afternoon looks like a one owner flat front etc etc and straight :)
Will do a complete running gear swap and try to keep it at a legal height this time :(

[marvis]

Should have just chucked a runner?

[declan]

Should have just chucked a runner?

^ this.
did plenty when i dailied the vehicle, has more than enough power to get away.
sucks to hear though. don't bother with running gear swap, i can help track down some plates if you need.

[sheppo]

Nah don't wanna plate swap it mate!!

Wanna do a running gear swap and get it all done properly and have a full respect of whatever I get and just make it right no dodgy stuff haha

[sam2306]

plateswap's arent dodgy...the vin's arent recorded, or if you have another car you can swap the chassis ones over too

[declan]

each to their own I guess... more than happy to give you a hand on weekends etc mate just let me know.

[sheppo]

Yeah even if Vins aren't recorded it's still dodgy in my books and it can end up in jail time if your caught!

Yeah the old man wants a project car as well so we will probs use this as an excuse to get a good project going!!
Cheers Declan if I ever need a hand I'll give ya a yell :)

[wagoooon]

misewel sell the the meshies then hahahaa

[sheppo]

Nahhhh save those for the one I'm picking up tonight :)

[Slimer86]

Yeah even if Vins aren't recorded it's still dodgy in my books and it can end up in jail time if your caught!

Chassis numbers are recorded on the original sale,transfer of ownership papers,even if the rego slip says corolla sedan.
If the officer wishes to check the chassis number,its only a click away.
Blatant changing of chassis plate with mismatching chassis stamping next to it,you deserve to get done imo. Ke70 plate with ae71 stamping etc.
Driving an unregistered vehicle in S.A. can result in jail time.

This isn't a rant,just a word of warning that what you are discussing is illegal in S.A, and I assume not in the interest of the greater ae86dc community.

And no,I don't represent the local authority or support un-Australian "dobbing-in".

[sheppo]

Thanks mate! Wasn't planning on plate swapping anyway as it obviously can be foun out and end up in serious fine or jail time

Found a little flat front ke anyways that I'm picking up tonight which will be stripped and rebuilt with my motor and gearbox this is going to be my long term project now :)
Keep your eyes out for another build thread on that

[Jacobxxx]

Cut firewalls out and swap them..

[Jdm-Mcc]

Love this rig, simple yet effective!

[sheppo]

Yeah simple and effective is good hopefully going to clean up and his heaps of the wiring when I swap it all over to the new one!!
But not gonna go to overboard as that just attracts more attention
