u mean where its all cut to shit? the previous owner did that to fit the oil cooler piping, dodgiest install iv ever seen lol.

the panel looks the same as on normal late model ke2x's so you could weld a new one on.

sweets!!!

 

good to know there a few KE2# terrorizing the streets.....

 

 

Well, soon to be again anyway :P

ill see how i go with the existing rad support, might just beable to weld up the existing support.

haha cheers mate, won't b on the road for awhile though :P.

did a little bit more too it today, all the steering bits are out, front struts, ripped the exhaust out (fken huge), pulled the tailshaft out. only things left underneath are the diff/trans and motor. gonna drop the diff down sometime during the week, once i've sussed it out. while I'm typing stuff, the rear jack stands are supported by the diff axles atm, once the diff is out, what would be a suitable place to put jack stands? as there'll be nothing left underneath.

I reckon those seats could be 323 turbo? my brother used to have one and they look mighty similiar...

a mate seems to think they are Starion seats. either way there coming out lol.

Nice car :lol: But what front seats are those? I kind of like the look of them ;)

 

Hi mate those seats are from a mazda familia and also the older mazda astina .I put them into some of my corollas a few years back and i remember them fitting easily but for one braket. These days i'd get some proper mounts done as i had them in their a little bogy :down:

Thats it rollaboy most of the older turbo mazdas had them, they are actually very nice seats i reckon .

you got it buddy.....

 

 

it realy looks like mine!!!! i like the cooler on top

 

jayson

thanks guys. lol the first thing i did was remove the top mount, its so horribly restrictive the way it was. since the corolla bonnet doesn't hav any vents/scoops like RX7's, it would overheat like a bastard in no time. and I'm not a fan of vents n shit n i don't wanna cut up my bonnet so I'm going to a front mount.

Any news from an engineer on this project? I talked to one a few months back about putting a N/A 13B into my KE30. I was knocked back due to new Vic Roads laws that are more restrictive on powerful engine upgrades.

But, i got the approval on a 12A (which will be happening early next year).

a panel van is a commercial vehicle, no limits in NSW at least.

one tuff panno.

 

props to you fellow ke26 owner.

 

did u get any fun out of it b4 you stripped it down?

 

i ask one thing.

A PROMISE

this beast will see the road again!!

 

keep us posted

cheers, scott

i havn't spoken to any engineers yet, theres one afew streets away from me, mite go hav a chat over the weekend. n yeh scott it'll be on the road again for sure. i wanna have it all up n running for Easternats next year, even if its not registered etc i can atleast enter it and cut sick out on the track :lol:.

didn't get a decent chance to give it a run before i started stripping it, was being a c**t of a thing to start, got it afew times but kept dying before i'd get out the driveway lol, so i gave up, damn thing was too flooded.
