Got into it again today...

Yes I know its off centre. KE70 rails seem to bend inwards.. No idea why but it fits in the KE10 Like this! Yes I measured about 5 times because I could not believe it haha! Birdpoo weld 2TG KE10 Cross member with a rack and pinion.. Woo! - Excuse the blind looser... hahahah! The result, Two happy Corollas! OH forgot to mention... New steering wheel for JDM KE10

What's it in! Looks great.. Legend!

KE10!

I see you are rocking the fringe/comb over aswell hahaha! Looks awsome, love it!

16v vs 8v Carbys vs EFI Not to worried about cost, I think 2TG is the right motor.. but its so much extra work. 2TG for the Carby OMGZ induction factor hahaha! Yeah, I didn't really like the shape at first either.. thought it was abit to cute, but it will look mean with the cut down carbon fibre zenkie ae86 front lip and a ta22 cutdown ducktail wing and I might make a carbon bonnet and boot if I have the time! 20's are lyk omgz. Rims are still undecided, Not sure what I'm going with.. but will deffiantly not be those 20's hahaha!

The biggest question, 2TG with some cams, extractors, webbers or a 4AGE with ITB's and extractors... maybe a set of cam's later on. What do you think Remember, this is going to be driven daily.

Been extremely busy last month with school. Finally.. school holiday's so I got stuck into it. Ke10#2 Hopefully I will have it started and running tomorrow. In other News KE10#1 has made some progress And for a laugh :laff:

Transmission tunnel, play with engine mounts, custom inboard pedal set up.. and the usual like diffs, coil overs, sway bars. A fair amount of work, but theres no real difference in engine bays between ke20 and ke10.

Thats why you 2pak clear them if you are worried.

Took my AE86's ducktail off... Hahaha. KE70 front end. Needs the crossmember shortened by 50mm... 25mm off each side. Similar to Sam's Ta22 conversions. Image below is Sams, Ta22 rack and pinion conversion kit.

Is this directed at me or the thread in general haha!?

I completely agree. The first KE10 I purchased was what I thought in good condition. It had a shitload of rust and the left rear 1/4 looked like a nana cleaned up a small pole. Destroyed the rear guards, I put 3 months of work into the body, and I mean like 5-6 hours just about every afternoon getting it right. I purchased 2 KE10's just over a week ago for $1500 and one is a little battered and the other one is original, no accidents, very little bog and was freshly resprayed with a 5k motor in it. It's cheaper to buy something in tip top condition for 4 grand than pay 500 for something thats complete but smashed to bits and battered all over!

Rear guards have been cut done, tig welded up and had 4x5mm flatbar welded to the edge because I wanted the guards to be circular. as you see in the above pic ( where its in primer ) the cars rear guards aren't circle and look shit in my opinion. They were also pumped out about an inch in the rear. For the front, Plan on leaving it like that, Just going to run cambe tops and LCA's and get i'll crank some camber on ;) hahahaha, get a defect.. just chuck some stockies on it :fuzz:

I believe I have 15x8 on rear and 15x7 on front although..... on the front they hang out heaps. I have a set of 15x5.5 and they sit flushly.

Yeah, I plan on running them aswell. I haven't played with the crossmember as of yet, I want to build the other KE10 first and get my 2TG motor sorted. Will be interesting to watch you do it all, I'd much rather have somebody else nut it all out for me :wink:

Does anybody know the address to the place?

The longer the LCA the more Camber you get. Shorter the LCA the More Castor. What you have told me is with the KE20 Cross member and stock KE20 LCA's they give you a lot of Castor which will give me problems with my Wheels. If I put longer LCA's it will change the degree of camber/caster therefore it will give me camber. I plan on making something similar to this:

I'm only using the KE20 Crossmember. Custom LCA's to accomodate the Caster. You can buy RCA's ( roll centre adjusters ) from AJPS .. what it does is adds some camber making the degree of the wheel more like 0 or +5 etc. I'm going to make custom adjustable LCA's, no problem for me.. My guards are semi rolled and with some camber they will fit in nicely.. if not just add more camber and put 165's on the rims instead of 185s I cut the little brackets that are welded onto the KE20 rails and I plan on welding them into my KE10 to give me the place to bolt the castor rod to.

Hm, It's not complete though hahahah! I might go out and give it a polish and put the grille on.

Yeah I'm going to shorten mine myself and get some custom billet axles made up. I already have a LSD for it.. just need to get the housing and the Pintar 3.89 gearset Sound's good, I'm keen on getting a rack + pinion into the KE1x.. Not sure if it's been done before.

I would have stockies all round but the stockies don't fit on the front of the car because of the larger brakes plus I think it looks cool in a way having the rear dumped. Main reason is just because the one of the rims is bent from a previous car and I need to get it fixed ( was sick of pumping the tyre every time I went to move it )I will be running the 15x7 simmons all round, I have a set of 15x5.5 for the front with less offset that I may run if I get desperate, although I like the wheels hanging out of the guards Already has ke55 discs, backing plates and girlock calipers with VN or VK rear soft pads in the front calipers. Shortened R31 LSD diff going in, I'm going to put a KE20 cross member, custom LCA's with coilovers, most likely BC ae86 coilies or I might make a pair up. I have a AE86 rack'n'pinion to go in. I can say one thing.. 2tg in a KE1x engine bay = F@!kn tight fit. 20mm all around and the brake booster+mastercylinder has no hope of getting in. I'm going to run a tilton floor mount pedal set up with a vh44 booster inside the guard or engine bay somewhere. Regards, Jordain.

Seriously considering putting my KE10 on the trailer and bringing it out! Anyway, Will be a good day. See you all there.. Jordain.
