Nah I didn't get 'round to it.

Well I didn't have this sucker long... Sold it yesterday, need $$ for my overseas holiday, but will look at purchasing another KE** when I get back, wouldn't mind a 30-series wagon :)

The one in the KE is still hooked up to the speaker, except the antenna plug has been taken out and used in the aftermarket headunit - it still powers up and you can still hear the gentle 'hum' from it ;) For what it's worth, the aftermarket headunit has been installed infront of the gearshifter.

All waiting to go in: Alpine 9882 Headunit 4x 200w RMS 6" Splits 2x 1000w peak 10" Subs 1x 1500w peak monoblock amp 1x 4x350w peak 4ch amp Sorting out cables/etc, and enclosures for the speakers in the doors, and all should be sweet. Hope to rattle the rust out ;)

Coming along nicely mate - what gearbox did you end up going with?

Had the timing reset tonight as it was very very retarded, running a couple of degrees advanced, runs ALOT smoother and has a little bit of something called power now :) Have a small list of things to get sorted over the next few weeks too. Gotta get carby sorted first thou, massive flat spot down low until secondaries open up. Does anyone know of any easy bolt-on upgrades as far as carbies go? Also picked up a V6 Commodore thermo fan, going to see how I can rig it up with a temp sensor and all other assoc. bits, then piss the clutch fan off which is stuffed anyway. Doesn't bother me if the fan is zip-tied on, so long as it's secure and does the job I'm happy :D

Thanks for the replies guys :) Looks like I've found some decent window reg's thru a mate who I didn't even think to ask, so windows will be fixed very shortly :cool: :yes:

Rims are off my previous daily, Mitsubishi Sigma Turbo - picture here :)

Seriously looking at the K50 'box swap, sick of the 4spd (sit at 100k's an hr and it rev's its ring out). Pretty sure the diff is slowly dying, starting to whine. Could just be road noise from the crappy rear tyres thou. Need to hunt down a radiator, this one has just about had it. Not sure what other options I have in terms of upgrading, I've heard that Hyundai Excel radiators go well, just need to change the mounts? I'm on the urgent hunt for both drivers side window regulators too, the larger cog on both drivers side doors has chewed teeth - rear window is held up with packing tape!
