Willacy70

So its been a while since my last post and i've got a few more little things done on my car. With the help of a mate i changed the oil and found it was filled with metal, the engine was supposedly rebuilt not long ago so i'm not really sure what to think. I also checked the plugs and found only one of them was fouled so not really sure what's going on there either. Started to tackle some of the rust around the boot seal. It's currently in primer as I still need to purchase paint, (anyone know what colour my car could be, I'm pretty sure the paint code is AA). I also installed the head unit my parents got me for Christmas which also come with a matched pair of 6.5" speakers. Other then that just been making use of this perfect weather and cruising with mates. more engine bay tidy up rust spots repairs Alpine, keeping in the blue colour scheem And finally, a decent photo of my car with a decent camera enjoy!

Not sure, was changed previous to me buying the car

Ended up going with Valvoline, 20w 50. http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/online-store/products/Valvoline-XLD-Premium-Engine-Oil-20W-50-5-Litre.aspx?pid=1350&menuFrom=60101#Description

Thanks a bunch guys, confirmed what i was hoping. Definitely going 20w 50 grade oil, definitely synthetic and brand wise, i will see what i like on the day.

Hi everyone, I'm planning on doing small service on my 4ac and i am just wondering which oil i should use? Thickness wise and type wise? the engine was rebuilt less than 10,000 Km's ago and this is the first time i will be changing the oil since buying the car. Your input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys. The 4ac does well even though it needs a tune some other tweaks for it to be 100%. its not the quickest car but it is fast compared to a 4k powered vehicle.

Do it, MA's are such a good wheel for the money. Light, decent width & offset, sit nice without flared guards and above all they don't look bad either. by the way, i love your car thanks

This week marks 3 short months of owning the car. It seems i have become quite attached to it. With uni finished for the year i have had a bit of spare time to do the odd thing here and there. once again just small things have happened. Painted the windscreen wipers as well as a bunch of other things finally got around to repairing the rust in bottom of the boot, used a combination of metal tech body filler and body deadener as the holes were not overly big Added carpet chilled Attached cheap ebay lip Hope to get a bit more done before christmas and In the coming weeks more rust repairs in the guards and around the boot seal.

Just though I would make this thread to share my car with everyone. A couple of months ago I purchased my first car after searching for a while. It seems to be a very honest car with minimal rust and a few modifications. I plan to keep the car as a daily for now and just tidy it up a bit, maybe lower the back a little and add a few of my own touches to the car. So, the specs Engine 4A-C backed by a t50, mild cam, mild head work, re jetted carby, extractors and 2inch exhaust, extreme clutch, short shifter Suspension low king springs all round, short stroke shocks, whiteline front and rear sway bars and adjustable panhard, front strut brace, cusco castor brace Interior R32 front seats, luisi wheel, Venetians Exterior MA61's, flat front with quads, T18 front and rear bars, DX tail lights Some pics, let me know what you think !

Hi Guys, Interesting read. I have been experiencing the same issue with my ke70. The starter was replaced just a couple of months ago but made no difference to the problem. It started first turn most of the time but has become frequently worse lately. it clicks but doesn't turn over, usual story. I suspected it was a bad earth or something along those lines but haven't done anything about it. I will be watching this thread closely to see if anyone finds a specific solution to the problem. Hope someone figures it out, seems like a lot of people have a similar issue!
