Think I managed to work out a deal for the mirrors, thanks Taz. (can not believe I missed that :S)

 

 

The dizzy is point and the induction for now is just the stock 5k carb. I have the twin 3k-b carbs getting rebuild and re-jetted.

 

will do a photo-shoot when the car is finished :D

 

Cheers

Well just some pictures and a clip of my KE17. . .

 

Painted the area behind the grill black and while i was doing that decided that the car looks tough without the

front bar/rego/grill so driving it around like that.. the cops don't seem to mind. The rims are of a Mazda RX3 I think

and the rears have been widened so .. :D

 

Any-way here are the photos and the link..

love this car mate. but i really hope you have put the grill back in i think it looks silly without it.

 

cheers tom

Looks incomplete without it. Do what I did with mine.. looks tough as, nice little TRD badge in the corner and its schmuck

 

 

Each to their own! Love the sound of the 5k with extractors :D

Agree, needs the grille.

 

When I had Datsun 1600's, i used to run those without front bumpers and never had an issue, even when pulled up for doing a powerslide turning out of Blackburn Rd one day.....

Hi all..

 

well things i have done..

 

Lowered the lil shit! still not low enough but i think for practicality reasons will leave it where it is. New shocks all round :)

Messed around with the front grill look.. Like (Considering looking for those front lips.. opinions?)

Got a 32/36 that will be going in today tomoro .. waiting on the K&N filter from uk ..

 

Tonight chooped a 320i bmw.. :) (the older one)

 

Things to do.. get 13x7 superlights and wrap them in like 145 tires so it doesnt scrape..

Fix sway bar thats fouling on calipers

Move the driving seat back ... ..

 

Heaps more just cnt memba :P

 

Forever a project..

Looking good man!! This thing has come a long way from when we had the 4 white KE-1X's together for the photos on the aurthurs seat cruise!!

I think the front of mine was a touch lower. It was bump steering crazy!! I think Jordain's new front end will fix the issue as well as getting them LOW!!!

With the sway bar unless you redesign the whole sway bar or front end the calipers will hit.

 

Stu.

Love this car mate :happy: gave me a few ideas on my own sprinter

 

Keep up the good work and I'm sure this will handle better with a few mods :wink:

 

 

See ya

That 3rd photo that's front on is now my iPhone wallpaper :laff:

 

Love this, they look so clean with no front bar, which is why i'm not going to run one on mine, hoping the cops won't give me too much strife as i wont be running a front numberplate either

 

*insert typical bogan "gotta catch me first" remark here* :P

 

Keen to see how this goes with a 5k and 32/36 as it's the engine build i'm halfway through now, wanted a 38/38 but got beaten to it :bash:

Cheers guys

 

Well that cruize was a while back :P .. but yes, now that I think about it, lots has changed.

About the front honestly do not know what is going on.. because i replaced the strut tops with

ke20 ones, that should have been 2 inches or something annnnd i got the spring re-set.. haha ..

 

Saw what Jordain is doing ... :| great work.. would loose ma shit if i saw that thing randomly ..

 

The sway bar think ill just cold bend it straight onto the LCA.. Like get rid of that lil 'kink'

towards the end..

 

Haha possibly the best compiment .. iPhone background.. my work er is done! :)

 

Nah Jono.. run the plate mate. Got pulled over and fined 130 :P .. sent a letter talking shit aboutre-chroming the

bar n shit but noooo :P. Looks better without tho :(

 

yeah the noise n like the 36 opening should be fun :) (need to resit the urge to weld the diff) :|

Tassie cops where i am aren't really that strict on that sort of thing, so i reakon i could get a way with it, most of them wouldn't be able to tell it should have a front bumper... :)

this car is awesome!

tiktak plates suit it to a tee.

 

Did you do all the bodywork and paint yourself?

 

Cheers,

Mark

haha lucky man, i should be getting into some more shit now that i got it lower and getting some mags to stick out :P

 

haha yeah some people don't get the plates.. i rekon quite easy.. lol didnt want to be one of those plates that u just don't understand haha

 

I did the prep work my self.. but got the panel beaters to do the good stuff, they did more 'prep' work (fixed mine up)..

 

 

Worked on the car today .. the 32/36 is acting up but should sort it out by tomoro hopefully.. trying to 'clean' up the car

things that have been pissing me off while driving, little noises, looks etc :)getting some new 13inch superlights that will

stick out like champs :) finally getting the car where i want it! :D (never ends)
