The end result is that the chasing driver faints from my secret weapon. Fumes! :P Thanks for the comments guys.

Some more pics... And just for ****s and giggles...

Hey guys and girls, Since I have been bringing this along to recent meets (while my other KE30 is being upgraded) I thought I'd better put some info and pics up for you all to look at. Story: I have been obsessed with this particular little car since I was old enough to walk. This car was owned by my old man's karting buddy for 20 or so years. To say this man was fussy is an understatement and it needs to be seen to be beleived. Anyway after sacrificing a nice KE55 hardtop and clean Commodore daily driver, "Graham" was in the garage. I bought it off the fellow who purchased it of my old man's friend. He owned it for about 1-2 years and fitted a 2TG and 5 speed from a TA22 gt celica. When I bought the car it was running but not very well. The old man and I had to start from scratch by fixing oil leaks, getting the carbies rebuilt (read expensive), tuning, complete cooling system overhaul (including brass core radiator), all suspension components from front to rear (nolathane everywhere), brake hoses, machine discs/drums and full bleed, new wheel bearings and seals, rebuilt starter and rebuilt alternator. More recently I fitted a new head gasket too. Specs: 1974 KE30 2 Door Sedan Midnight Blue Retrimmed interior with KE70 seats Momo race wheel and gearknob Original rims widened to 6" and running Yokohama 'A-pattern' (old school yo!) Standard springs and height with monroe sensatrac shocks all round and whiteline swaybar with nolathane bushes galore 2TG twin cam (yes it has a Yamaha designed head like so many Toyota hi-po fours) Full extractors to mild system Twin Webers Electronic fuel pump Catch can Crane Cams electronic ignition KE55 Brakes (slightly bigger) That's about all I can name off the top of my head! One pic for now and I'll upload some more later.

Thanks for putting the awesome pics you took up :) Just looking back before the painted skirts makes you appreciate how much better it looks. Top stuff!

Great pics guys, except for the one of my car and how dirty it is. Makes me feel sick! Group shot is nice too except that I was filling up my car :P Once again thanks Duy.

Yep Thank you for organising today and I think it ran very smoothly for a cruise with so many cars. I think i'm tired now Catch you all on the next one. Matt.

Just got home now and going to make it an early one :) Looking forward to tomorrow and I shall see you all at the Brimbank meet point. Matt.

It's so close now. I'm pretty much ready too! Fixed the problem of having no wipers and reverted back to the old venting style of my fuel system. Yay for being able to see in the rain and no fuel leaks :) Andy, if you willing to come up my way i'll be able to help you out on Sat.

Haha Guni. I don't think i can ever forget with that many replies :P It'd be great to have you along too Simon.

I just realised. I'll have the only RWD car, Also the oldest :(

Hi guys, I'm organising this cruise through rollaclub which i'm opening up to Toymods and TOCAU also. Copied from rollaclub: Ok guys I finally got off my backside and have put together a cruise for next month. After consulting some of the Funkytown boys on possible meet points and cruise routes (thanks weber4x48 and kickn5k) I have come up with a cruise route that will include some twisties and some straight roads with nice scenery. When : Sunday the 8th of August. 10 am meet up for 10:30 am departure. Where : Meeting at the BP servo/McDonalds/Red Rooster along Westernport Hwy on the corner of Thompsons Rd, Cranbourne West. Basically we will meet up here where there is plenty of parking and follow the hwy until the end. From there we will continue through Bittern and Hastings through to the Arthurs Seat Lookout. Here we will park for some photos and a quick chat. From here we will make a run down Arthurs Seat and back up again (not shown on the google maps cruise route) and continue through along some backroads that have nice scenery and eventually some nice turns (Boneo Rd). We will leisurely continue from there along Point Nepean Rd through to Sorrento for lunch. There are many places to chose from here catering to all tastes. People wanting to leave early may do so from here at whatever time is conveniant for them. Optional return will be to go back following Point Nepean Road and eventually along The Esplanade which for those of you who don't know is a mini, less intense Great Ocean Road that we will follow until Mornington. From here we can depart ways offering routes to the Moorooduk Hwy (leads onto Eastlink) or via the Nepean Hwy. Cruise Route Expect a responsible pace on this cruise as it will be on a weekend on roads that Police normally target and have a presence on. I will also put this cruise up on Toymods and TOCAU so we should get some decent numbers. Cheers Matt.

I'd definitely be interested in this :) Especially if it is on 2nd May or later. Matt.

x2 Great work guys.

Where are these pics Tash? :P Haha here is one i took at the servo while filling up. I hope you can make it out.

Saw this car in the flesh today and in action. Mighty impressed i must say especially after taking the time to read this whole thread. Top job Simon especially with all the bargain hunting you have been doing. :) Matt.

Nice shots Tofuboi. Lolz at the horse riding hippy

Thanks for an excellent day guys (especially Tash and Tofuboi on their organisational parts) . Incident free day in terms of driving proves what a well behaved bunch we all are. Just made it home as i can almost poke a hole in my radiator hose with my finger! Awesome shots as always Lee. Peace out
