April 13, 201214 yr Author comment_597214 Hey man, good stuff. Another Blacktop Ksev!!!! If you haven't purchased the suspension yet, I'd recommend buying 86 items over the S13 gear. Ask KE70dave about the S13 gear, he knows all about it. I'm thinking about doing the ae111 dash myself. I've got all I need to do it left over from the half cut so it's doable. I'm keen to see how you approach it. Good shit!!! Keep it up. Willis I spoke to some KE70 owners from Malaysia, they said the ae86 will fit the ke70, so as the S13's, they also said use the RX7's FC3S's Also, I am planning on getting a big brake kit, 4 pot, with crossdrilled, slotted rotors...but what size can I get though, can i remove the rotor dustshield, cause it wont fit a bigger rotor. The manufacturers are willing to supply me a set of 4 adjustable coilovers, a set of bigbrake kit, inc calipers, lines, pads, with the orange color scheme I want for less than 2 grand. Or i can just paint my caliper orange using the G2 caliper paint, and just get the rotors. Report
April 13, 201214 yr comment_597217 Man, I wouldn't be using anything other than ae86 gear for the front end, I mean, for a relatively stock BT 20v, a wilwood big brake kit for ae86 would be more than enough stopping power. I should think anyway. And should be an easy fit. S13 etc gear will fit with some modifications but will never end up being as effective as ae86 gear. Report
April 13, 201214 yr Author comment_597219 Oh yeah......i received my killer DVD/carIpad/tablet head unit. It's really cool, i have tried the tablet and works perfectly. The whole unit is not connected yet since I don't have the car. See it in action here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mapGGrPeTSM&feature=related Ofcourse I didnt it buy it from them...I got mine from the manufacturer, they said if I can sell mass quantities, I can be their distributor....hehe That's sometime in the future once the car is done and rolling all over Adelaide.

April 13, 201214 yr comment_597220 Yeah, just buy brand new AE86 coilovers. BC make them, HSD make them. Heaps of other brands out there too, all making them brand new. But if they're for an S13 or FC, there's no way I would be buying them. Your car though, if that's what you want to do, go for it. :) Report
April 13, 201214 yr Author comment_597224 Yeah your right...ae86 coilovers all the way.....i'll check willwoods big brake kits specs as well....just gotta find the coins to make it happen...bizzness is slowww these days man... Report
April 13, 201214 yr comment_597230 AE86 just works well. Wilwood aren't the only people that make brake kits...There are others out there. I'm only throwing suggestions out there, man. Coin and time are always the main limiting factors.. Report
April 14, 201214 yr comment_597266 Nice build and colour choice mate, coming along nicely! Looking forward to seeing the engine bay when it'd done ;) Report
April 15, 201214 yr Author comment_597561 Yeah Zetai, its getting there, long way to go sill, cause I only work on it when I have time, days off and all. I might work on removing the calipers tomorrow and do bit of an overhaul. Hey guys what do you of my front coilovers and calipers, i probaly just use them instead of getting new ones, and save some coin. Report
April 28, 201214 yr Author comment_600339 Hey guys I'm getting the car back on Monday, and it's all hands on deck. I'm planning on doing a COP setup so I wont have to whack the firewall, or get a dizzy relocation kit. Then plumb the piping for the radiator, etc, etc. So whose up for the challenge.......hehehe Report
April 28, 201214 yr comment_600353 Look forward to following this build closely mate, I like the idea of the BT and Ksev. Report
May 4, 201214 yr Author comment_601660 I'm picking the car up from the bodyshop..........paint and body is doooonnnnneeeee Time to work on the rest of the car.... Just waiting for my parts still........like the coils, dizzy blanking plate, coil adaptor plate, all coming from SQ-Engineering, then braided hoses, ...and a bunch of other things I'll post some pic when the car is at my place Report
May 17, 201214 yr Author comment_604395 Here are some pics This is the engine without the stacks installed and other bits, but since I will be doing a COP setup, that valve cover won't be used, it will be replaced by something else, Report
May 17, 201214 yr comment_604434 that colour looks sweet, will defiantly be following this one if u dnt mind me asking, how much was it to get painted? Report
May 17, 201214 yr comment_604436 hey mate looks sweet, loving that colour. might be painting my e7 a deep orange too! if u don't mind me asking, how much was it to get it painted? Report
May 23, 201214 yr Author comment_605624 It costs around $3000....considering they also painted the interior trims...which used to be blue Plus we still have other stuff to be painted...like the trumpets, lips of the wheels... And my seats are done today....I will lay some pics later.......so you guys check out my design...hehe Report
