June 8, 201016 yr comment_443311 Definately want a 5 speed for now cause 80 percent of my driving is to and from work down a 100 kph highway, revving way too hard at the moment. It would be revving at around 4000 rpm. Need a K50 gearbox from a KE55 so the shifter is in the right position. Pretty hard to find in good condition. Would be worth it though to save on fuel. Report
June 8, 201016 yr Author comment_443313 yeah, it'll still be a daily. Not just for the strip. Here's some more pics. Edited June 9, 201016 yr by holden1991 Report
June 8, 201016 yr comment_443314 Saw this ke26 down in Dodges Ferry for sale around a month ago. Nifty looking car. Must be alright with the 5K, being real light. Report

June 8, 201016 yr Author comment_443317 sluggish as f*&k. I gave her a good pasting and it's got better but i think i'm too used to my v8's :) Report
June 8, 201016 yr comment_443329 Have you checked the timing. points, plugs, oil and filter. If it's not performing well then check these things first and replace if necessary. :) Report
June 9, 201016 yr comment_443664 Shame I don't have more time tonight, in Hobart at the mo. Would have popped around and given her a quick tune up for you. I've got a couple of KE55 K50's I may be selling shortly. I'll let you know when I do if you haven't found one already. Report

June 9, 201016 yr comment_443669 Then I'd have to sell a box without one! Sorry Evan. You could just buy a whole box off me! Report
June 9, 201016 yr comment_443677 last resort will be to pay you for a whole box and send me the shifter and throw out the box lol. last dieing resort.. Report
June 9, 201016 yr comment_443710 I'm in hobart looking for a 26 too, considering a 4k item at the moment. But how did I miss this! Ah! I agree, get a k50 box and just work the 5k to it's wits' end :) yay Report
