Whats the ke70 like at daily driving with the welded centre ?

i got used to it pretty quick, turning circle is a bit worse and you get a few looks in car parks, but other than that is wonderful,

 

taking into account, i have a twitchy left foot.

Ive contemplated welding my 4.3 centre but i don't want massive understeer.

The pic of the motor and box looks sweet.

 

can't wait till i get mine together.

haha you mean massive oversteer.

 

locking the diff is essential for me, well at least till i sell my other car and go wild with all the other gear like the 2 way and that jazz.

 

Its just too dangerous too slide with an open centre, ive gone locked and have not regretted it at all. EVER

No, It will get understeer when you turn sharply due to both front wheels having the same force but thats when u fan the clutch and give it some over.

unless you are going walking speed and then decide you want to go full lock and full accel at the same time you wont get under steer, trust me. People always winge about it but ive never got it, even in the wet.

ps ive driven with a locker in a ke70 on the street for almost a year. every day, every night, rain hail or shine.

Looking good mate! i've got a beige ke70 w/ jdm 4age too and they're awesome, so no doubt you're having a bit of fun in this thing! Very nice ride! oh, on the chance of sounding pretty stupid, whats "keto" mean? :D

This and Gillys car are setting the standard for 'sevs everywhere, hahah.

KE70 = Keto

 

Sort of a translation from a geekspeak form.

 

Well, thats what I thought it up as a few years ago :fuzz:

thought that might be the case! thanks for the enlightenment Josho :D read through the full other thread (for your old one where you've started writing bout this one?) you got going driftke70 and its awesome! love your car, and the one your "basing" yours on is the same as what I'm basing mine on :fuzz: awesome work mate!

Very nice car mate, will be a weapon. Had any axle dramas with the locked diff?

-fender mirrors

 

finally someone else who wants fender mirrors. everyone i talk to seems to think theyre random and only suit 55s and before.

:D

 

 

 

tidy keto btw.
