Already put the KE20 in the KExx thread but here she is again with my other toy :evil:

Actually my second Rolla, my first car was a 1982 KE70 wagon, 5 speed, 4k, absolutely overrated and original, bright orange paint.. I loved that thing but it got a caning hehe

 

KE20:

Unmolested 1972, 3k, Toyoglide

 

 

 

RX4:

Genuine 1976 LA23S

S5 13b, S5 gbox

KnightSports highflow turbo, Turbosmart 38mm ext. gate+screamer pipe

Microtech LTX8, custom front mount, custom zorst, gilmer, RX4 locker diff, S2 rx7 rear disc conversion, Magna front discs/Commodore calipers, brass button clutch+lightened flywheel, custom 1 piece tailshaft, surge tank with a pair of bosch 975s and matching fuel setup, twin 10" thermos

pimpin' interior and a bit of a stereo, 20 grade tint, Performance Superlite 16x7s

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

hmm.. not bad..not bad.. Mr Wankel

At least I'm not the only one here then with "mixed emotions"!! :evil:

random wheel choice for an rx4 ..on a brighter note

 

 

your ke20 is fuknig hot!

Hehehe thanks kids.

 

Its hard to be original with rims these days, had some Lenso RS5 in Hyperblack @ 17x7 lined up but the group buy fell through. Now THAT would have been a random wheel choice for a 4! Needs to be another inch lower on the Superlites but.

 

As for the KE20, venetians are in transit, as are the 2.5" lowering blocks :D :evil:

The theme has been inspired by the movie "Crackerjack" starring Mick Molloy, I just need to track down a bowls club hat and make up a sticker!

At least I'm not the only one here then with "mixed emotions"!! :evil:

don't forget about me :y:

 

love both cars mate, nice colour on the RX4 as well

 

how much power you making atw in the RX4 with the hiflow? ill be running a very similiar set-up soon :D

Haven't had her on the dyno yet, my tuner has a big library of maps to suit most rotor/turbo combinations so he plugs one of those in to match and tunes from there. Will be going on a dyno sometime to iron out the curve nicely.

 

I would put the figure at around 280rwhp @ 11psi, we should be looking at an even 300 @ 14 when the turbo starts hitting its efficiency range (rated to 20psi).

At the moment with the locker its enough to fry the tyres through 1st 2nd and 3rd :evil:

My 4 should be wearing some RS5's in the next couple of weeks, just waiting for the new s5 4 pot struts to be finished up first. :D

 

I was in on the AR.com group buy too, but that was a long story hey!

I actually bought a set of RS5's about a month befor the group buy started in 4x114/4x100 +38.

Then when I saw the group buy happening I sold this set to fund the group buy wheels.

So you can imagine my state of mind when we finally found out it had fallen through.

Very very lucky for me, I actually ended up buying back the set I sold at the same price. :evil:

 

Oh well these ones are gun metal/polished lip, so they're the ones I prefferred over the hyper black/polished.

Yeah I reckon they will look fantastic man.

 

So I have a question guys, the venetian for the KE20 arrived BUT they sent me a black one!

2 options: paint it white/cream or leave it black! What do you guys reckon black would look like???

 

Can't get pics right now but imagine :evil:

i reckon you could get away with the black, given the color of your 20...

Yeah the black doesn't look bad but white is the go for sure.

I will put up before and after pics.

 

Quick question, I'm shaped so browsing through a heap of topics isn't viable until the end of the month..

Blew the 3k today f@$kING so I need to find a new engine.

 

5k+5speed sounds pretty good, I will need a pedal box too but I need to know if my tailshaft will be ok? Or do I need a different one behind the 5 speed to fit?

Cheers for any help..

nice rides mate

 

More than 2 sweet, sweet years of driving rotors, jump back in a pissed-on for 2 days and it blows :@

Little update, venetian now converted from black to white :wink:

 

 

 

 

Chris of chrisandliz fame has very kindly offered me the purchase of a 4K out of one of his cars. So I'll be chasing that up asap this week. I'll be leaving the Toyoglide behind it for the time being but I will budget for the 4 or 5 speed manual conversion later. Found some advice in this forum that a 32/36 Webber, extractors and mild exhaust will give the old girl a good little kick in the pants so if those bits come up at the right price they'll be going on too.

 

I have a strong temptation to pull the Lanzar Optidrive 1250wrms competition sub and Caliber 1000wrms monoblock out of the RX-4 to chuck in the KE20 but that might be getting a bit silly..

Nice work Shano,

need to get that 4k finished!
