MYT B OLD

^^ Cheers, she's come a long way thats for sure :) A little video of the first start up last night. Just going through a few little bits at the moment so after it goes to the tuner he hopefully won't run into little coolant leaks etc

Fully rewired the entire car by one of local auto sparky guru's. It was my biggest job and has come up a treat. All new wires, plugs, all new connectors and plugs for the whole engine harness. Has a bulkhead on the firewall for easy engine removal. Also did a Yaris cop conversion and running Bosch 1650cc injectors. Link ECU and lots of plugs Fuel system wiring Engine harness + bulkhead H4 headlight conversion Battery in boot + isolator New fuse box and relay mounted up Ecu and relays Custom suede dressed dash all lit up Turbo and wastegate braided lines during making of lines etc. The cable ties in there aren't on and there are billet hose line seperators Turbo cover writing shaved off and same with valve cover. This is pretty much the most recent pic as it stands Also got new tyres on the front in Continental 195 50 15's and Hankook RS3's in the back in 225 45 15. Got whitewalls added too for that perfect finish and have some new moon caps and rings to go on the outer rim lip.

It has been a while since last update but the car is nearly up and running, if all goes to plan this Saturday :) Here are pics of all the work that I missed to update Exhaust with vbands, magnaflow muffler, proflow cat Cold air intake with box Catch can

Hey mate, the fabricator said between $1300-$1400 to construct the same tank or similar depending which ke. By the time you include the same parts it will bring it to about $2500. Than from there all your bulkhead fittings, solid lines to engine and back etc. I am very happy I've gone for something like this as it sits in the factory mounting points and is a lot bigger. All the pumps are in one place not having to worry about having them under the car. You also have the room to throw in a spare tyre as per the design to allow you (in my case a 195 50 15 fits no problem) When I look at it it looks like a headache but after it was made it came up great. The welding on it is superb.

Finally has a bit of a exhaust in so many years. Lol I was going to go with the option of having a screamer pipe set up too but plumbed in for less hassle is a much better option

One of the best fabricators in WA. Tank has been pressure tested and will be sent for powder coating in matt finish

More progress of the fuel cell :) Baffle plate machined out and in place

Stepped down from gt3076r to a gtx2867r vband .72. Sold the powertune mani with the 3076 and got a 6boost to suit the little gtx2867r Only reason on stepping down is I know I won't be able to use the 3076 to it's full potential as per traction issues which would arise and I'm not keen on going down the mini tubbing route. The gtx2867 will no doubt get me to 400 whp if I want but I will see what happens at around 350 whp or there about. A car under 900kg is going to be quick regardless. With 230whp on a hi flowed T25 it did a 11.9 so with additional 100+ it will dip into 10's. C4 2 speed set up will be for drag duties and retaining manual for the causal drives. I'll get into that more when the time comes :) Also changed the wastegate from tial 44mm to a TS hypergate 45mm A bit on the interior side, I had the roof lining done. The material I supplied to the upholster was not the best as it has pretty much zero stretch. He said in his 30 years doing upholstery it was one of the more difficult materials to work with. First he called up and told me all that and than said leave it with me and I'll see what I can do. He called later in the afternoon to come pick it up. When I saw it, it was absolutely perfect. All the stitching and the stretch is perfect. Really nice to look at when you look up. I will get the sun visors done in the same material and the passenger roof handle in black to blend everything in.

After almost four solid years finally getting the rest of the car finished off. After bigger things in life and priorities I can finally concentrate on finishing the rolla off. At the moment a custom fuel cell is being built which will consist of a internal surge tank/swirl pot set up. This will allow a total of 55L capacity. As too much is happening I'm going to write up everything that's being custom made and parts used. I've changed a lot of things at the moment. Will be all complete before Christmas than onto wiring with bulkhead fittings etc

Nice build mate, took the time to read through the whole build. Keep up the good work

Very nice ke20 mate. Would be good if there were more of them in Perth. I like what you've done with it so far. One of my mates went to one of the cruises and he got a pic of one and seeing your's looks like the exact one.

Sorry for the late reply. I'm sure there are places that do it here in Perth. The vents were $600 for the pair. They were a bit difficult to do due to the previous coats of spray they had on them. They managed to clean it all off tho after a number of different procedures. Pics don't do them justice and you can actually feel there is a bit of weight in them vs non chrome which means a proper job was done. Cheers. Yeah everything is chromed, rear light surrounds and front aswell. Pretty much got everything chromed that could of bin done on the outside. Very rare cars in Perth. There is a white one also that cruises along Gt hwy in Ascot with the boot lip spoiler, so stock. I think the owner works at the Ascot BP there. Also know of a brown one in Applecross that gets out every now and then. We'll have to get a cruise going one day. If we get to see anymore of the ke20's rolling around hit the owners up to join rolla club and we can go cruising. Would be awesome to see at least 5 ke20's cruising together no matter the condition, they don't all have to be modified or restored. Would be a dream.

Hey mate, I had the wipers done by vinci chrome here in Perth. Not everyone was keen to do them and had quotes at $700 for the pair. Only due to having different metal from alloy and steel and having to be put apart but Vinci did them in one piece and I got the finish I was after. http://www.vincichrome.com.au/ Also another addition to top up the chrome front end of the car was the hood vents. Had them sent to the Bronzing Studio in Sydney. It was hard to do due to the respraying over the years but after a number of cleaning processes they were able to plastic chrome them. I am very happy how they came up Thanks guys, it won't be much longer before she's ready. I'm getting everything done the right way with no shortcuts and trying to get the best of parts or custom made and fabricated parts as this car deserves it.

Got the wipers done in chrome. Off to get some more work done Getting it finished off Shaved boot with custom release latch. Rear plate on to see how flush it looks, very happy how it came up more to follow, not the end of it yet

hey mate, the strut brace is a one of custom made item. Happy to get a price for you from the current fabricator to make a similar one or the same one if you'd like. Makes a difference when it's bolted onto the car.
