March 14, 201115 yr comment_509920 Hey guys finally i have found myself a ke20 and been able to go through with the sale. I bought it Friday off Ra28gt and have been loving life since. I haven't taken any pictures as yet but hes made a thread about it... Looks the same so far... I do like the granny look so i think that i will go with that so far.. Plans are to put a sun visor on it and maybe widen the stock 12". It does need new carpet and roof lining that will be done in the next few weeks. Other than that its up in the air. The car comes with a spare 3k engine and i am undecided whether or not build that up with cam, webbers etc.. or go for a 4/5k? would it be worth spending money on a 3k? At the minute I am busy building a custom parcel shelf that will let me fit 6x9s and 6" splits with them being covered... yet to find out how but ill work something out. Cheers Tom Report
March 14, 201115 yr comment_509921 You're a very lucky man to have this. This car is just awesome. My dad was going to buy it, but by the time I showed my Dad the ad, it was already sold !! ;) Josh :cool: Report
March 14, 201115 yr Author comment_509934 haha cheers mate... I'm so stoked... in two minds on what to do though but definitely keeping it granny :dance: Report
March 14, 201115 yr comment_509961 Lots of different styles you can do! You might struggle to widen the 12" wheels however, nobody will have the correct outer rim size available. Hope you enjoy it mate! Report
April 7, 201115 yr comment_515487 anything ever been done to this? i reckon some bigger steelies would look really cool! and if i were you id build a 5k for sure! Report
April 7, 201115 yr comment_515526 That thing is dam sexy. Widened steelies would be sick, how do you do it? Report
April 7, 201115 yr Author comment_515527 A quick update, as I myself am in a financial crisis, my plans are bigger than actions at the minute. Engine wise, the car comes with a rebuilt 3k which i am looking at putting twin down draft carbys on it from the sprinter model... (still looking for manifold someone help me out) As for the wheel, I'm thinking that I will look at 13" mazda wheels.. For the minute i am painted the rear wheels black and it looks the goods. As for the paint, i am slowly polishing, with a original colour re spray in the planning. In side I have fitted two alpine 6x9's under the rear parcel shelf which is covered and hidden. Keep you posted.. Report
May 6, 201115 yr Author comment_522283 Its been a long time since Ive updated... Today the engine goes into a work shop to get a cam, double valve springs, hardened seals etc... Hopefully he will split with his 3k-b carby set up aswell. :P As for the car, new roof lining and carpet will be ordered sometime this week. I have also found some 14" steelies that have been engineered to fit the 4x110 stud pattern... A quick question i am in two minds about the quad head light setup.... Seeings though I want to make it semi stock should I go back to original? Cheers Tom Report

Cheers Tom mate i know it wont be 100% original but the quad make this a unique ke20 and its kinda original looking anyway so i personally would keep them there they add some class to the car Report
May 7, 201115 yr comment_522469 the quads rock i would keep them i dint notice them at first glance then i was " ohh wow that looks wicked with twins" Report
May 7, 201115 yr comment_522472 The quads are meant to be there. Still looks stock but like OKE55 says a second glance and you go "hey"! Awesome. Report
May 7, 201115 yr comment_522482 keep the quads and if you get or have rear se or sl trims you could hide speakers behind the standard speaker covers that they have. Report
May 7, 201115 yr comment_522498 Keep the quads Tom, they look pretty original mate and really make this 20 stand out from the pack. Report
May 7, 201115 yr Author comment_522512 well by unanimous decision the quads are staying :dance: Keep you posted! Cheers Tom Report
