Well...this one on ebay/trojan cars Portsmouth (a K10) is a bit...expensive <_<... but i've had a look at it in person she just needs a new front bumper and the wheels could do with a lick of paint...29,000 miles since 1987 ^_^
2 x TD05 eh stani
I think it was a spare so i bought it from him. I can doodle a rough idea of what it looked like if your handy yourself?

yeh, i,ve cut the flange off, and i,m using 2 belt idler cartridge bearings joe (1 is a k10 timing belt idler ).That looks AWESOME so you gonna build that into half of an old turbo and blank off the back or something?
the balance has to be very very good for 50k rpm tho !
fingers crossed eh guy alternators are fine @ 20k+, it should be do-able if finely balancedYou're right there Frank, with the G forces involved at those speeds, the words 'explosive' and 'shrapnel' spring to mind .
Pull it off though and you'll be a legend in the car forum world (you already are to us lot ) .
painted my calipers!
thanks man! it adds a touch off class : P got a blog ?Wow...That looks ace!, good job...love the colour
Thinkin' I might re-touch mine when I get a good day for it
...did them a couple of years ago now...mine are still a gorgeous red, when i've cleaned them , but got some nasty chips that i'd like to sort out ^_^
You're welcomethanks man! it adds a touch off class : P got a blog ?
haha madness and nope, its 'FORD ELECTRIC ORANGE'You're welcome
..Nah, I've no blog...the only "mod" i have is my painted calipers and my aftermarket aerial, not sure anyone would want to read about my playing the miles per gallon game with my trip computer and yelling at silly bussiness types in their porches and the local yobbo in thier saxo VTR every week LOL
I'm a bit dull really, but i like to look
Is that gold? or Yellow...? either way looks lush against the dark green

thanks scott , i,m off down the local machineshop right now, to do a bit of turninglooks good frank, if you need any machining doing im only a pm away
thanks scott , i,m off down the local machineshop right now, to do a bit of turning
yes here is the assemblage mark,Ooo I like that Frank. What are your plans for the housing?
Edit, you're just going to use the compressor half of the turbo that that compressor wheel came from aren't you.
bear in mind there are at least 2 different types of clasp joeWdid? actually fitted the seat i fixed yesterday annoyingly the seatbelt clasp is dying it seems after 17 years existence, better order a new one before it just stops working and clamps people into the car!
Awesome. you will have to go shows next year. so I can see it... Only seen one other modded k10 and that was flipping cool!Spent all day trying to get car to start, only for my neighbour mechanic to come home and point out one wire was wrong. So now it's ALIVE.
But problem with petrol pissing out of carbs, regulator or float bowls issue.
Tomorrow I will have it running properly and try and set up carbs as best I can.
Actually excited ! Can't wait to have a blast, it's gunna be a bit noisy as there's no turbo on it and exhaust won't be connected, but still. Be first time off the drive since I dismantled it and bolted all the new head and carbs n crap on.
the metal fitting looks the similar on both types joe, but they dont lockyeah im gonna have a look around i think, may even scour some scrappies and get a selection from similar aged cars (hopefully in better nick)
it used to be the drivers seatbelt clasp and is now passenger side but that shouldnt make a difference to it working

Rocker cover painted
Just needs lacquering now. Also picked up headset, oil and filter etc and ordered headbolts. Fingers tightly crossed on headbolts cos everyone seems to be struggling to get them
Funnily enough I ended up with K11 bolts too Apparently FAI head bolts aren't available, found some on The Bay, gives specifications which are all correct, just hope they turn up alright.When I went to my local motor factors, I gave them my reg, ordered them and when they arrived they were for k11, took them back and the man was convinced he was right, even when I had original bolts I with me!
Cheers, I've had one little patch react so gonna give it a flat and another couple of coats over the weekend........rocker cover looks good to mate!

I'm sure some people are convinced that the incorrect part will fit, just because THEY SAY its the right part!!I had this when I was getting new brake pads for the yaris, the bloke was adamant I needed pads for an abs model when I was telling him it never had abs, even took the old pads with me. 3 motor factors later and I finally had the pads I needed
