Thankyou kind sir :( So you still used KE10 Struts but put in KE20 Inserts is that correct? Sorry for all the questions but with KE1xs we are in pioneering territory as there is not much info on modifications to the suspension for these :hmm:

What size Otomoto Kit did you go for?? 43mm, 45mm...?? I am keen to do this to my KE11 :hmm:

I'm keen to enter the KE11, even in its current stock unmodified glory!! :hmm:

Well I got them for $250 posted, that's cheap for those rims and in 4 x 110 which is pretty rare!! Those Enkeis you bought, the guy I bought my KE11 from he had a set on a KE10 there which he had polished and painted the inserts and they looked hot hot hot!! You have to get them cranking on your wagon :hmm:

Yep that was me!!!!! :)

Very nice Gav :) Some people on here would give their left nut to own just one of the cars you have in your collection :(

Tom I had to jump on them in my mind they were just too cheap!!! They are meant for the brother's KE20 but if he doesn't want to pay for them and I don't want/need them you are first in line. I want to see them on a rad KE1x or KE2x :)

The only real way to know is trying them on. I doubt many people (if any) are running that kind of brake combo on that type of car. This is probably why there is no response. You are in pioneering territory here so test it out and if it works let people know so they can do it too :)

WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING :P

So I woke up Sunday morning and logged onto Rollaclub to find a smorgasboard of rim choices for me all at the same time. So I bought these : I only bought 1 set in the 13 x 7. I think these are the same wheels as on Mr John's KE10 however they are in different countries so deal with it. I know I wanted to copy the look but didn't realise it would be right down to the wheels. These are a -1 offset so won't be as aggressive as the Superlights. Should be able to get away with just a roll of the guards now. Also, these are 114.3 so will need to change all round on car. Thanks to good exchange rate these came in at just over $1K with shipping included. I am waiting very nervously for them to arrive from the Phillippines ;) Also bought these, couldn't resist for the price and in 4 x 110 too.They are a full set of Streets : These might go on the brother in laws 20 or mine yet, will see how they look. 13 x 6 +8 will be good fitment either way, very 5-0 friendly fitment :yes: Just spent $1300 today on rims, ouch :P

Woot my first spot in the 11, was a bit dirty though :P I spotted a White KE10 yesterday up in the hills, if I wasn't in a hurry I would have turned around and bailed the driver up. It was white, pretty clean with a rusty bootlid. Don't know if the member is on here ;)

They certainly are coming out of the woodwork lately. KE1x's dominate yeah boi :P

How did I know I would open this thread to find styling tips from you ;) Ben you need to spend more time producing something worthy of our attention. If you spent half as much time on that as you do handing out advice you would produce something jaw dropping :P Oh and Troy, wicked as always :yes:

I'm betting on a 4AC of doom for this machine :P

Yeah I just found a neat 4k for it so I'm going to take it off the road over Christmas and whack it in along with the disc brake conversion. Seeing her sailing head first for the back of that Rav4 still gives me the creeps. I know that even the smallest prang will finish this thing off, parts too hard to find!!! Oh well at least it is insured well :D

I have had two close calls in this thing in as many days. Making me seriously consider not using it as a daily for now :dance: Yesterday I was minding my own business in a 100 zone, car in front ample distance ahead, next thing you know car in front slams on brakes and comes to a complete stop. I knew I wasn't going to pull up so I swerved for the side of the road before hitting the skids. I pulled up half a metre away from a barbwire farm fence!! I stopped a long way past where the car had stopped so if I went straight I would have creamed it, end of KE11 thats for sure. Reason car in front stopped so quick, a fecking Koala Tonight coming home through Upper Sturt Road, go around a left hand bend, car four cars in front decides needs to turn right off Main Road in a hurry, car coming other way so he stops, cars in front slam on brakes, I had the least amount of space with which to stop being at the back so swerve to the left again and hit skids. I realise I am really not going to make it by now (pull up) heading for the back end of a Rav4 so I pushed down even harder and locked the brakes. I didn't think the drums would lock up??? Somehow the KE11 skidded and pulled to the right and the passenger side ass end went off the road and I ended up passenger door facing the back of the Rav4 and the front of my car facing the opposite side of the road. I get out as everyone had stopped and heard the skids. I am about 10 cm away from the towbar of the Rav4. The car who turned right and caused the shit, nowhere to be seen. You kent!!! :D Either no more daily or I need to upgrade to better tyres and disc brakes. Scared the crap out of me thats for sure :jamie:

Your brother should buy a lottery ticket!! He looks to be very lucky :jamie: Shame about the car though Troy :D

No I stand by what I wrote. If he had been more discreet about it then it would have made it marginally better :D I just don't see why because this is an enthusiast forum people feel the need to blatantly profit from each other in this manner :jamie: If you are going to do it though, do it in the right spirit and hand a cut over to the forum owners who allow you to advertise and make that profit for free :dance:

So you come on here telling us you will get it cheap just so you can then come on here again and sell it to all of us for an inflated price :jamie: Congrats, its people like you that make this place shit. If you don't want it do the right thing and let someone else know where it is so they can buy it. If you try and sell it on here can a mod please ban this person grr you grind my gears :D

I picked up some Gabriel inserts for it second hand, not much use on them. They are not short stroke I know but I guess they will do for the meantime to get this shock/spring assembly together. I checked out the price on some camber tops from Noltec. I might have to assess some other options. I thought Cusco made some for TE27. Might have to check with that place I hate and finally buy something from them. I swore I never would but now might be the time to give in. I think I want to get some spare struts though in case something goes to shit whilst making these. I will search around for some, or if someone has some pm me I will take them :D I have decided these wheels are going on the car, so when I do a 114.3 conversion and disc brake on the front then I will order the second pair in 114.3. I'm measuring the struts this weekend for the Otomoto Kit.

Ok so a little overdue but here are some pics Shortly after arriving into the world Still in hospital First trip in the car Couple of weeks old

Well we have just introduced our first born and it would take more than a Starlet to get me to give her up *must remember to show wife this topic tonight at home :D

Geez all this hate up in here... Is the brother ok?? Sorry to hear Troy :D

Using the term not licensed makes me think it is over the ditch as we don't normally use that term here. If not, awesome we have a Starlet in Australia, tidy it up and people will want to sell there kids for it :D

Pics do this no justice, I drove past this thing last night where it is usually parked and it is fresher than the Fresh Prince of Bel Air!!!! Lowered on the 12" makes it look so good :D
