Hey guys. i joined this forum a while back, and i'm yet to introduce myself. My name is Alec but people know me as Dregs (don't ask) and i've been into cars for a while now. Me and my mates muck around with them heaps. I'm a bit of a drift fanatic hehe.

 

I just upgraded from my 1987 Mitsubishi Colt XL 1.3L, which exploded a clutch, to a spanking 1983 KE70 (slanted) 1.3L (220 000 on the clock) when i moved from Canberra to Townsville. Best decision of my LIFE! Sucker cost me a grand, but had to have some little things fixed on it before it was road worthied. Currently its basically all stock.

 

These are the things that the previous owner did to it:

 

- Suspension was reconditioned and parts replaced.

- Exhaust was replaced.

- Rubbers and hoses in engine bay replaced.

 

These are some of the things i've done to it:

 

- New filters all round (oil, air, fuel)

- Cleaned the distributor cap and regapped the little arm thingy in it (not sure what its called - mindblank!) + advanced the timing

- Sound system (Pioneer head deck, custom 6inch door installs, 6x9s in the back all speaker kenwood)

- Seat covers (sheep wool.. mmm comfy)

- New gear shifter + steering wheel

- Mounting a tacho where the original stereo was tomorrow.

 

AND some things i wanna do to it:

 

- new carby

- new exhaust tip

- maybe stiffen the suspension

- fix some minor rust spots

 

This is just a little beat around RainWarrior (haha) until i can save my monies to get a AE86 Trueno, hopefully 20v! seen a few on some import companies websites.

 

Anyway fellas, sorry for the long post, haha.

 

Hopefully see you round the boards.
