Dunno, kids today must be getting soft. If you need assistance on a ke70, you need to try a HZ with 235's and a tiny steering wheel..... Gym membership would be cheaper ;)

Got hold of a pair of small chrome air cleaners and filters for mine for free :) Unfortunately, they were the wrong size for the carbies. To get around the issue, we cut the bases out of a couple of standard air cleaners and welded them onto the aftermarket air cleaners. http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/12720-mytoy-ke20/page__p__173678__hl__+mytoy#entry173678

Rough and ready method. Swap number 2 and 3 plug leads, pull air cleaner off, hold foot flat and crank the engine. A couple of backfires through the carby should move any crap. This used to work on my KE35 - was shown to me by an old school mechanic.

As long as the diff centres are the same, the KE30 axles will fit into the KE20 housing with a bit machined off the end of the axle. Another option that I did with my 20 was to fit the KE30 front rotors etc but swap the outer part of the rotor - the part that the wheel studs are in. This way I had the "better" front brakes but I could keep the three sets of wheels that I had collected for the car.

Went through two rwc inspections and passed. Also a number of road side inspections without receiving a canary do I guess so......

This was my old KE35. Sat this way for years and got a pounding with no issues.

Cut springs, home made wide wheels, twin antiroll bars, cut down bump stops, self reset leaf springs, softer rear leaves, re drilled crossmembers, cutting longer threads so we could run more castor ............. back in my day we did all these naughty things, how did we survive?????????? Seriously, you need to step back and look at just how much a 50mm drop in ride height is going to make to the suspension angles. There will be bugger all difference.

All this sounds fine in theory, except from personal experience - 6 years in a road going KE35 and 9 years in a competition only KE20 - which were lowered 50mm(+) I never had any of the issues mentioned. In fact, the only time I had to replace any front suspension component was when I landed heavily after a jump in the KE20 and I had to replace the strut tops (also cracked the subframe as well......). Never used RCA's, ran cut springs which were not captive, relocated lower control arms in the KE20 and never had an issue with bump steer or undue component/tyre wear. If I was doing it again though, I would source shorter front struts to hold springs captive for peace of mind.

The old mans HK Monaro would do over the legal limit in first :P (307 + Powerglide)

And our guys winge about fitting 19's......

Get your battery load tested first.

Relatives did that to us one New Years Eve. Just going out for a couple of hours. Got back at 4am....................

I know hydro's will handle at least 8000rpm - thats as far as the factory tacho went, and I would see tacho needle on its stop when competing

If it was me, I'd leave the hydro's in........

maybe take a dump in their letter box on the way out....

My KE35 used to axle tramp bad, but I was running a 225 wide rear tyre. My KE20 never really axle tramped, even with a similar engine set up and tyre size.

My eyes hurt

I had a weird engine noise with my 5k. Changed speed with revs, disappeared when number 3 plug lead was removed. Assumed it had cracked a piston. Pulled it out, sent it off and nothing found. Only issue we found was that the inlet manifold was broken on number 3 inlet runner when the manifold was pulled off. Welded up, no more issues

Wasn't it the gearbox that failed though?

Still nice to dream... Engine ran at Le Man in 2015

A lot of nice rides on the road, all heading the opposite direction...... :(

Good to see "Peechs" out for a run near Castlemaine on Saturday

you could try to run a second sway bar under the original and make brackets to join the two together. On a KE35 I ran a Mazda bar (maybe aftermarket, but made for a Mazda) that lined up with the radius rods and clamped to them.

Had a pup do the ligaments in one of its knees - described as a footy injury - jumping down about 2 inches off some concrete...... Luckily the local vet didn't charge heaps and we could pay it off. The new vet sucks though. Changed the medication one of our dogs was on. It died a week later.....
