So I forgot about my little baby as there was some other issues going on. Took her our the shed gave her a good clean and put one of my sets of rims on her. Putting new carpet and seats in in the next two weeks and might finally hear this engine tick over before the end of the month. Been toooooooooo long

Front end back on need to repaint light surrounds and grills etc but they will be on this weekend

Funny you should say that it's a Kustom color called skittle orange lol

Ok so Christmas didn't happen due to issues with finding work buuuuuuut here's a final coat picture and well engine pics up soon :) maybe a video of I can work it out

I have done the final coat and am in the progress of putting it all back together my aim is on the road before Christmas ( excluding interior coz the guy is so slow but well worth the wait)

Cheers man I can't wait to see the front all together and the paint all polished up..... Scratch that I can't wait to drive it down the road I'm getting the drop tank made in the next couple weeks too which will also be good to see bolted up with twin exhausts

Fully painted

i want to change to 114.3 anyway as ill be running ke70 fronts and master cylinder and 110 rims are hard to find decent ones. i just wanna put something in to handle a few clutch drops every now and then maybe some disk brakes on the rear and lsd i got about a grand but ill be doing the r31 conversion myself once i got the cash coz i reckon the guy i asked quoted 2500$

a couple pics of the engine pistons and my efi set up

Also is the tercel centre stronger? I have 3 ke20 diffs 2 where blown just from the other engine I had in it. And I'm on my last one just need some strength

Awesome thanks a heap I'll check it out. I haven't done much at all lately weathers been too windy to do my final paint but I got my fuel injection set up and I get my engine back next week hopefully so I'll take some pics then. Also I have a drop tank getting made with baffles etc so I'll put some up of that too just trying to figure out where my exhaust should go

ok so anywhere to get E85 fuel in adelaide?

i also want to fit a drop tank to my ke20. let me know if you have any luck?

its so confusing to find a diff for these things!!!!

also leaf springs are crap for it

pictures up tomorrow.

cars fully primed now just a few blemishes and then i can put it back together. need to get the interior done but don't know where. everywhere is sooo expensive.

yeh ill be selling it all once i pick the best bits for myself lol i got given 5 donor cars ke70s 20's and 25's but they are a f@#$ed

front guards back on paint this weekend hopefully

everyone does it didnt wanna change my rego and the 4k had done 40 thousand km practically new also couldnt wait for a 5k to turn up aaaaaaand i have about 6 4k engines 2 3ks i have 4 5 speed boxes and 2 4 speed boxes i dunno like the original idea

love the car mate white is the best color coz everything goes with it and scratches and dings etc are easy to cover and blend so if the white isnt quite right you just blend it well and nobody will know. my orange one on the other hand not so easy lol

i have a 4k which is getting bored 60thou with flat top pistons. crank is getting balanced and ball piened, block is getting shaved cam ground head ported polished double vale springs shaved and a stainless steel head gasket and the whole engine is getting blue printed. i have a 4ke injection setup and i plan to fit that and upgrade injectors and ecu once i know what is the best option with that I'm thinking microtech ecu and rx7 injectors but i really don't know yet. I'm making up a stainless drop tank with baffles too as fuel injection doesnt have a fuel bowl and rather than just use a surge tank i like the shiny drop tank idea. i wanna flare the guards but not bolt ons but have no idea how to do it. also i got about 5 and a half five speed boxes so yeh the engine will be sitting on a five speed. front brakes and struts will be ke70 if i can work that out brakes at least. reset rear springs and drive carefully till i find out whats good for a diff in these things. oh and YES VERY BRIGHT. lol this car isnt something you wanna look at in direct sunlight after a night on the piss thats for sure

heres a picture or two of when we were stripping it. i was trying to find some of before i started but they must be on my old laptop. ill keep searching but till then oh and heres a pic of my keto which is next inline
