  1. ok. So i drove my car for the first time today. and i gotta say, its super slow! Is this normal?

     

    4K engine

    3spd box ( i think its coz its a auto 3spd)

     

    I floored it and literally went no where!

    the speed didnt cross 50km/h

     

    Will a 5spd improve speed?

     

    Seriously thinking of a 4AGE conversion now :/

  2. kinda.....

     

    Ive been lucky to find a guy with all the parts i need for a conversion. I am picking it up in a few weeks.

     

    and in about another week, car is going to the paintshop to fix all the surface rust and will receive a light coat too.

     

    The stockies have been wirebrushed, and will receive a coat of black spray. pictures will be up soon.

  3. Nice! You were lucky to find that- look after it and it will last for years.

     

    Thanks!.. its a shame its auto.. but looking around for a new box. It has genuine low kilometres (160,000ish) just needs a good tidy up

     

     

    "...this is my second car. My first was a SW20 mr2, but i sold it and got this..."

     

    Don't get me wrong, i'm a big fan of KE70 / AE71's, but WHAAAAAAA???

     

    M int looking KE though :wink:

     

    lol SW20's have their strengths and weaknesses.

    mine was a 1991, so it didnt have a beams engine..

    but yeah, sometimes you have to sell your 'baby' in order to get want you want.

    it just happened to be that i loved KE's more....

  4. plan for tomorrow:

     

    1) Clean Engine Bay

     

    2) Wire Brush the rust off then respray black

     

    3) Wire brush the rims and hit it with a coat of Black

     

    4) Remove the seats to do a thorough clean

     

    5) Spray all the things that used to be black, black.......!!

  5. Plans right now are:

     

    Clean Up the rust

    Buff and Polish

    Re-Black the bumpers

    stereo install (no doof doof, just a head unit and some speakers)

    Service

    JDM Rims

     

    ALSO****

    IF ANYONE IS SELLING PARTS TO CONVERT AN AUTO 4K INTO A MANUAL, COULD YOU PLEASE PM ME OR SOMETHING.

    I'm ALSO LOOKING FOR THE QUAD HEADLIGHT SETUP.
