Thanks for the tip off benzo, got me some nice bumpers :)

All up there was sumtin like around 400 000 "KE25's" made. and just to give you some idea: :D

Good base for a project man, What are you intending it be used for street or track?

yea would also be good to know as I have some too

There is actually a number of different styles that were available on the KE25/TE27

Saw it this morning on west terrace haha...

wtf man thats crazy.

yea i know the one man (KE20). She wont sell it!!! I been bugging her for the past 2 years lol!!!

farrrrrrrrrrrrrrq man thats insane... Has come along way. Been following this since the start lol

not officially as of yet... but will be... I know, I'm sad, but I got other priorities at the moment.

Thats becasue I listed it with all my spare parts. Should of put just the car on ebay. Some dude in sydney wants it. Organising transport at the mo.

The one off ebay!!! Looks overrated az dude!!! Cheers Tally

its up to 1000 at the mo, 2 hours to go, want at least $1500 for just the car.

Ill see how the eBay auction goes first man... Thanks for the offer aswell man.

yep know what ya mean but I don't wanna have to build an engine. Yes I totally agree, I spent a few dollars on some cool parts which could have waited till I got the engine sorted. But I guess thats just how things panned out. Ok yep I understand your reasoning. Firstly, I did a commpression test on the first engine and it was piss weak, pulled of the head and it was rooted. I didnt just say ohh its stuffed, lets get a new one. I tried to fix each problem the best I could using my available time, money skills and resources. Secondly, I don't wanna build a engine for this car, never do I ever wanna build an engine. I never intended that id have to. I was just looking for a straight bolt in engine that was running good enough to chuck in and drive it. People do it all the time so I figured id do the same. Ive just had a run of bad luck me thinks. Yes the engine might be fine, it might only be something minor, but the mere fact (and I said this before) that I will have to spend more to get this thing going bothers me. It all comes down to the money issue. I am moving on, I'm selling up going to buy something thats already done and ill add my personal touch to it. And I bought this as my first car, so when I found out the engine was stuffed I went and bought a KE70 and this turned into my project car. People sell project cars all the time. Why? Money/commitments/all sorts of reasons. And yes I probebly will regret selling it but at the end of the day its just a car that is not going to go anywhere soon in my hands. Lastly id rather someone restore this thing to its former glory while parts are still available rather then me just thrash the shit out of it lol. Who knows how hard it will be to find good parts for these things in the future, apparently it is getting harder already. Cheers Tally

Mate I would mate, but I just can't bare to spend any more money on the thing. I don't wanna risk doing another engine swap. Its cost me too much already. Id rather get one thats already done. price is reserved, so if I don't get what I want for it, it wont sell.

yep true but ive just found it hard. for some people its a walk in the park, for others its to hell and back

Totally understand man, but thats exactly how ive been taking it. Its been a whole year, been through two engines and its still not 100% Ok maybe I didnt look at the engines close enough before I bought them, but this is my first project and I am doing it ALL on my own as my friends and family have no time to help. To busy with their own cars you know what I mean. Like come on. I never expected it to turn out this way. Thats why its on eBay lol: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...em=260270844634 Ill see how I go. Cheers Tally

argh just what I need... water in the oil = milkshake yum :) arghhhhhhhh I'm guessing blown head gasket... ive just about had it with this car...

they do pop up on ebay from time to time NOS KE2# fenders for $500 :bash:

After seeing that philbey, I'm 100% sure its cause of clearance issues with the strut tower. Look at the engine bay, hardley any room at all. Would be a sick setup though. A lot of good stuff in japan I can tell ya lol

should be hot if she drives a KE20 lol

300,000 YEN

tell him hes dreamin :S lol nah but BHG is an easy fix
