13BT_KE20

Hey guys thanks for the comments, if anybody can help please let me know http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/58449-ke2-crossmemberfront-suspension/page__p__587101#entry587101 Fuel Cell is a 57 litre (16 Gallon) Tank, the sender unit included. The heat wrap definitely didnt go very far but i did manage to get it just past the gearbox crossmember which isnt too bad. Cut/fitted/prepped bonnet vent ready for touch up paint Before pic of engine bay, all strip ready for a ckean and prep. After pic to come later....

Fuel system bolted in, new boot seal fitted too (what a pain that was to fit!). Waiting on NOS bottle brackets New side mirrors, door got a can of paint as well Found a matching F/G vent for the other side of my bonnet, don't think ill use the aero inlet at the front so ill cut that off

Old front end New front end, minus a few bits and pieces of course. Next was the boot/fuel set-up, trial fit of everything...

All wrapped up! Thats 20 metres of heat wrap Transporting, i just like this pic so thought id add it. If anybody can help me with a front end set-up PLEASE let me know http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/58449-ke2-crossmemberfront-suspension/ Cheers, Ryan

New look front end before a bit of touch up paint Next was to heat wrap my dump pipe and mid section exhaust, i chose black wrap of course! Mid section before being cleaned and prepped Dump pipe after clean and prep all ready to be wrapped

The next plan was to get MORE AIR IN to the engine bay and HOT air out. I want to decrease overall engine temp and reduce overheating problems from prolonged hard driving. F/G vent above turbo location, aero catch flush mount bonnet pins So i had to attack the bonnet Then i attacked the front valence panel

The look of the car has slightly changed from a sleeper to street/race mainly due to the fact I'm only interested in going FAST and need MORE AIRFLOW. So I started to bolt the interior back in My old passenger door had a massive hole/crack from my side mirror being ripped off by some lowlife Bolted in my new race seats, rollcage, 4 point harness and test fitted my hydro handbrake

Cheers. New sub set-up, upgraded my amps at the same time. Now running a Kenwood MonoBlock and a Rockford Fosgate 4-ch

Doesnt get much better IMO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KB1Wrv0SiyQ&feature=related

Hi Mark, Yes i removed the bump stop completely, Leaf springs are standard height. With the stock (old) leaf springs the diff sat on the bump stop which is why i removed it, the diff would hit the body on HARD launches and dented the floor slightly (maybe up an inch or so). Once i fitted the uprated (new) leaf springs I NEVER heard the diff hit again. Hope this helps. Cheers, Ryan p.s. I have some updates.... Ill post in here when i have more time

Tempting to add to my collection....

AE86 strut conversion is a better option, this has been discussed many times on the forum. I suggest you "search" and read up. Cheers

Very depressing....

I was able to raise my exhaust roughly 2 inches with the modfication. Used double 3mm plate but it is reinforced on the top and underneath. Its thicker/stronger than the stock metal so shouldnt be any problems with it later down the track.

This is how mine is done, helped lift the exhaust up enough to stop any scrapping issues i had. Really like what your doing with the car :yes:

thats a mean looking rear end!

Fitment is pretty spot on, 19x10 rim with 245/35 Fronts are 19x9 rim with 215/35 Put my old rims on my blue merc

its about time i updated this, ill let the pics talk. Cheers New grille New Wheels Before I put them on my car i had to fix some gutter rash.... Before After On the car

There wasnt much interest.... and I was struggling to parting with the old girl so looks like I'm keeping it What happens next?! I'm not sure at this stage :hmm:

should make that power on about 10-12psi

I had 211rwkw in my KE20 on only 10psi and that was mental! 300+ @30psi would be crazy! Top work love what your done with the car

did you sell the W124?

HA! I hated that car! It felt so torquey while cruising around but when you put your foot down it went no better.... Sounded good though and served it purpose (workcar/dirtbike transporter) Few more.....

cheers its my daily, I use it to tow the KE20 around too when its not running (most of the time). Heres a few more pics of past cars, plus another one of the merc just for you ;)

have a read of my build thread mate, if you have any specific questions shoot me a PM. I'm very busy but will try to help as much as possible. Cheers, Ryan
