Many..

To start with the suspension needs replacing, so ill slam it at the same time, maybe a stud conversion to something more common and a brake upgrade at the same time.

Bolt on flares, front lip, maybe a rear spoiler keeping my eye out for some cheap superlights something around 14x8, I want to try for that te27 look.

A respray, either beige or some shade of darkish green.

Twin webers and might get the exhaust re-done.

But this all takes money, and money isn't something I have, ever.. So it will take a while.. Haha

Hi all,

has anyone here got pics of Autotechnica Monza Seats in KE20's??

 

just wanna see how they look before i commit to buying.

I already know they fit straight in, are ADR approved and can be engineered....but looks??

 

some people I have spoken to have said it will look funny, which has made me think twice.

 

Any pics greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers,

Mark M

i thought getting bucket seat was bout comfort, fitment and weight reduction, not looks :\

touche'!

BUT...at the end of the day, i don't want them to look out of place...

so i just want to see what kind of buckets look good in ke20's...

 

Cheers,

i had this Recaro in my ke20, but i sold it to Matt (littleredspirit). Its a great seat, just looked so massive in such a small car that it looked a little odd. if it was a stripped out ke25 race car with a cage, flares it would look better.

 

 

 

I had these series 6-8 RX7 suede seats in my ke20, i reckon they were a great compromise between grip/comfort/style. they are a much smaller seat and didn't look too modern for the car as they were all one colour.

 

 

 

neither bolt straight in, but hey - you shouldn't skimp on the part of the car which you spend the most time in.

Thanks for that jono,

i love :y: those recaros, and the rx7 ones look good too...

 

i'm not looking to go tightarse...

i would just like to find some that are black (to match my original black interior), NOT VINYL, are firm and feel good to sit in.....and obviously I'm not a millionaire, so id like to save some coin if i can...

 

more pics if anyone has any...cheers

so does it have a complete RX3 diff in it?

does it pretty much bolt straight in? no need to shorten the housing/axles?

Rx3 diffs are not very strong at all, they also have offset centres IIRC!

 

If you wanted to upgrade to a mazda diff to retain the 4x110 then the strongest option would be a 13b RX4 diff (they're bigger than a 12a RX4 diif), but this would most likely need to be shortened a bit. I can measure an rx4 diff for width if you want as I put a 13b diff in my originally 12a RX4, but PM me if you want me to as I'll probably forget to check this. :wink:

haha yeah i know there not all that strong, but if they pretty much bolt straight in id look into it. Cos anything has to be stronger than the stock KE20.

 

A diff upgrade is on the cards, but i will more than likely go with the a hilux.

Hi Guys,

 

Some pics of my SR20 powered KE20 that I sold recently, was a great car and I do miss her but I have a new toy which i'll post up soon.

 

Its just a stock KE20 which i'm going to restore original style, put on historic rego and have a bit of fun with. Will start a project thread when i get underway with it.

 

Enjoy!

Some more...

very nice mate, i can only hope my car turns out that good one day. For now I'm enjoying driving it too much to worry about the paint/panel work it needs

tight rig KE20SR.

 

cheers, scott

That things so badass :)

 

always been one of my favourite ke20's

 

Cheers, Ben.
