Mmm Boost

I think you can just swap the tophats and that ought to do it...the very last of the KE70 struts have the same bolt spacing as AE86, so wont bolt into earlier ones without the later steering arms.

Rear springs are identical across the range (For sedans obviously), but there are 3 different types of front coil, one with the same ID top and bottom, and 2 that taper. I forget diameters off the top of my head.

Bah, love to see you run a pair of down drafts though :D Socks made mine a bit quieter, but nothing really beats 7500rpm with open trumpets...

I seriously doubt it'd ever be road legal here, its pretty dodgy. Besides which, I doubt a poor little KE70 shell would last that long being twisted like that.

From memory, the IGN wire gets a feed from the key ON position. GND ARM is just for add ons you want to activate by relay, so in a standard install don't worry about it. Not sure about the siren though.

Just give it a good going over for previous crash damage...if you don't know how to drive a mid engined car properly, you can put them backwards through things very easily, and alot of jap imports were. One of the biggest things is to never back off :bash:

They're called Almex YSA, made by The Yokohama Rubber Company, from memory (its cast into the back of them). I have a set on my wagon. Mine are nowhere near in that good a condition though!!!

Digging up an old post, but I replaced the front swaybar mount and link bushes in my wagon, that alone made a massive difference.

So far my wagon has done 279,000k's, its had regular oil changes its entire life and it runs overrated. Cops a hell of a hiding too :y:

Theres actually an AE70 Coupe for sale on TradeMe at the moment.

Rare as all hell, I havent seen one for sale for ages.

Mine would have been my MR2, had a few bits and pieces done to it, and if I had ever bothered to get the Link tuned, it should have put out around the 190rwkw mark. Untuned, with no timing advance(thankfully) and running at 14-15:1 A/F ratios it still made 165kw. With the old turbo it was able to hit the redline in 5th gear...

Its bloody rude, little pricks have no idea as they generally can't afford their own car :) Some little shits smashed the quarter windows in the rear doors of my wagon once, and all they took was the 25c in the ashtray - wtf? At least I got given some spare doors, so it didnt cost me anything bar the hassle of cleaning glass out.

I got given my KE70 wagon by my old man after I'd stacked my SW20, and was using it as a runabout while I rebuilt it. Got sick of the MR2, kept the wagon, bought another KE70 to keep it company. Such bloody simple cars, fantastically easy to work on, and take a hiding and keep on ticking.

Detonation will kill head gaskets pretty quickly too...I see in the other thread you made you were having trouble getting the timing right, was this on the same motor?

I'm Brad, from Palmy, and have an 88 KE70 wagon and 83 KE70 sedan. In the process of building a hardtuned (well, as hard as you can do to!) 4K for the sedan, and am about to supercharge the wagon for a bit of fun :). I can't believe you guys let Mr Revhead on here! :P
