13BT_KE20

Yep! cheers Paul, fitted the new headlights today. Also cleaned and repainted the trims while i was at it, the difference is amazing! Ive also almost finished prepping the car for those WIDE rims, so i might have to go grab them so i can get the pumped up :D I wont put any figures out there just yet, always said anything over 200rwkw was a bonus lol so not doing to bad atm I plan on running 15psi Sorting out my water spray set-up too, hopefully that will be done early next week along with a couple of other things. Got a whole heap of pics on my new phone too so ill get them up asap

this car will be receiving some loving in the near future, stay tuned for updates......

my dailys thread should probably be moved to there?

i wasnt coming out in that weather sorry!

looks great! needs a nicer exhaust though

sounds like your not running enough caster, i don't hav any scrubbing issues with my 15's Will make the steering heavier but it will handle heaps better too :jamie:

i ran that exhaust set-up with a stock 13B, ported 13B and also a 13BT running NA BEST NA exhaust set-up! regardless of motor/porting

don't think you'll be saying that in 10 years time

Couldnt agree more!!! On my NA RX7 i ran racing beat extractors, into twin 2in pipes with a rotaflo resi in each, into a 2.5 pipe over the diff and into a rotaflo muffler. BEST exhaust system for an NA car, this is pretty much what the IPRA boys run with the big port race motors. Only difference being the amount of mufflers Some people say 3inch at the back but IMO thats too big and only results in more noise without any preformance gain This set-up on my car way loud when you had your foot down but just cruising around was more than respectable and not too drony

i vote you don't hack up the car to fit those wheels

at the end of the day it comes down to grip levels My stock LOCKED diff lasted a decent amount of abuse with the stock 12's (155's) on the back, i only snapped axles (and as a result munched diffs) when running my 15's (195's) on the back

NOW you've got my attention! looking forward to seeing pics

hahaha would love to see it, but you will never fit them inside the guards

EAGERLY AWAITING VIDS!!!!

Nice work, i was going to take my KE20 down but ended up going to the shack for the weekend cos it was so hot

9 inch is WAY to big for what hes after Id almost be inclined to put a KE30-55 diff in, locked centre and that would be up to the task. If not other options are hilux, R31, commie, prado. But these will all need more work to fit than the KE30-55 diff I'm running a shortened hilux with a locked 4.11 centre, currently making 211rwkw and thrashed everytime i drive the car and i havnt had any problems with it, its been the in car for almost a year now. I did hav clearance issues (diff hitting bump stop, removed bump stop and diff hit the floor) until i fitted stiffer rear leaf springs, after i havnt had any issues. Hasnt hit once since then

mph says its got alot more in it than that, time for some slicks i think!

Sorry $10G's :wink: I'm keen to see what it will make with a few more psi through it

a few small changes are planned for the car once I'm finished exams, one of them is turning the boost up :wink: Also scared myself a little by doing some number crunching...... Ive kept a pretty good record of money spent on the car, what started out as a cheap build has just recently blown out to $19k. IMO the car still needs another $10g spent on it to before I'm happy with it lol

IMO the S3 oil coolers are not effecient enough. Ill try get some pics of how mine is mounted next time I'm down working on the car

should be able to pick up a S1/2 RX7 oil cooler fairly cheap. I got one in good condition for $50, thats what i run in my car without any issues Also I'm using a V8 Torana radiator in my car

still a maybe at this stage

You can have the 3ltr 6cyl out of my merc for cheap, i want to put an LS# and 6 spd into mine :y:

that hubby can be repaired

Thats how mine is set-up
