so jus engine mounts and stuff

 

and oil pick up, gear stick and a few other things I think

here is the old engine,

 

 

manifolds with base plate, engine mounts, oil pick up, gear stick, sump, extractors, all have to be modified or changed.

 

still got the uprite kit wanna sell it

ha good luck i already tried

Any ideas what the car weighed ready to go?

Yeah, it was 800kgs in full rally trim.

NO fiberglass panels were on the car at that stage.

 

But that was a JDM KE70, not an ADM one so it was lighter.

whats the diff between jdm and adm?

Hey Mitch,

 

The ADM had side intrusion bars and the JDM's didn't.

 

That's probably the biggest difference,

apart from the bumpers on the earlier JDM ones, they had small chrome bars, unlike the ADM, they all had poly bars with heavy steel reinforcement.

The later JDM's also ended up with these heavier bars.

 

There is a lot of minor stuff also!!!

on my ke70 i gutted the inside of the doors including intrusion and got rid of bumpers and interior what else can go to make it lighter and what do you think iit would weigh now?

There's a whole heap of stuff, it just depends how carried away you want to get with it and how much money you want to spend?

We have gone to the extreme of using alloy bolts in places!!!

 

Look at hole sawing the frame in the boot and bonnet if you don't want to fiberglass one up.

On the inside there's a heap of brackets that don't do shit, remove them!!

Take every second bolt out that holds the guards on, just be careful not to remove too many bolts!!

hey

 

just woundering if ya had any measurments or plans on that upright kit I'm looking at doing one myself for my rolla at home

 

see ya

 

jimi

The engine mounts for uprighting is pretty simple. Its doing something about the new angle of the gear stick shifter that can be somewhat of an issue.

That thing sings ! What a sweet little K motor. :rolls:

Looks like a handful of fun mate.

Sorry Jimi, only have the TRD uprite parts info.

 

you would need to find someone who has one in bits to get the measurements.

 

The base plate for the inlet manifolds would be the hardest info to find i think.

 

Have just looked at the shit i have, and i must have photocopied the base plate years ago, and i still have it.

 

Unfortunately my scanner isn't big enough to copy it.
