Tomas_90 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Righto, joining the KE70 club as of tonight :D Just bough myself a bone stock KE70 Sedan that's in very good condition but a few things that need to be attended too. Is meant to be a project car and I'm also gonna drive it during wintertime this year when its snowy and slippery, so the 4K-C should keep up :P Might end up putting a 4A-GE into it cause that would be a lot of fun but I'm not sure i can handle all the technical stuff that comes with that yet.

altezzaclub Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Well done- there are a couple of members who can give you a hand up in "that part of the world"... they're proably thousands of km from you! :laff: I expect to see videos of it flying over yumps in Jyvaskyla!

Tomas_90 Posted July 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Having a 1st lookaround of the car today as i bought it late last night and it was a bit dark :D Tried to fix the driver door alignment but it didn't really go all the way. Got slightly better but i think i have to remove some more stuff to get to a few more screws. Also been polishing up the + and - battery connectors now since they were quite corroded. All better now tho :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Just realised its a 2 door. I hate you. :lolcry: Nice score! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas_90 Posted July 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Yes indeed it's a 2 door :) With a black/white interior! Been searching quite a while to find one. I wanted exactly this red color too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas_90 Posted July 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) Got some more pictures for ya! There had only been 2 owners on the car since it was new and that was an old man and his wife and they've apparently had the car in a warm garage pretty much it's entire life. Tho it has 'rolled quite a distance. Indicated 248.000 km atm. And yes it's just dirt on it so it should look better when cleaned. The engine was ticking a bit tho so ill have a look at that someday to adjust the valves unless its worn down so bad it wouldn't make a difference. And the clutch was also at max tension already and it gripped quite high up on the pedal but it didn't slip any from what i could gather, but it'll probably need changing sooner or later. If i could just find a garage to keep it in so i could work on it properly i would be a happy man. A mate of mine has the same problem so we were thinking if we found a place to keep 2 or more cars in we would rent it.He's into old Opel's tho (Vauxhall/Holden, whatever you call them :D ) Edited July 28, 2011 by Tomas_90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomas_90 Posted August 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Concerning cutting the front springs... Yes i know it's a very bad thing to do and blaha blaha... But let's forget that now. Does anyone know approx how much cutting 1 coil(1 ring) would lower? I'm not out to make it scrape the ground, i just want to make it "lower". I know i can't cut too much either cause the dampers are so damn soft that when you hit the brakes the front end of the car dips down like 20 cm :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer[RL] Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 I would recommend doing 1 coil then if you want it lower go another etc etc, when lowering the car with the jack make sure the spring sits in its correct place... :happy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
