LongJohnSilver Posted August 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Nice rig mate... Good canvas to start with. Any thoughts on what your gonna do with her yet? Fix the paintchips and little bits of rust Lower it a tiny bit Work the 4K (On P's so no engine conversions for another 2 years haha) That's my master plan at the moment :y: And of course all the little things inbetween, like central locking :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Cheers Reed! :y: I'll give it a go tomorrow when there's light, otherwise I'll have to get outside and wear a headlamp for light haha If you have mad issues Ill pull my door card off and take a pic so you can see what i mean. Gotta pop the dent out of the back left at some stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KE-70Cruiser Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 From my limited experience on cold days it actually does runs better at winter settings, but hot days it's detrimental to performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongJohnSilver Posted August 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 So this week I didn't have as much time as I would have like to do stuff the ol' girl, some of my uni assessment creeped up on me and sucked up all my time haha. I swear to god I'll get this central locking in an working before Christmas! :lolcry: But I did order some more parts! Some of them have already arrived! Weber 32/32 DIR with Redline adaptor (Only two bolts though haha) Bit of damage on the rim, probably nothing to worry about Also got an Inlet/Exhaust manifold gasket for when I fit the extractors. And got some King Springs Lows on the way too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongJohnSilver Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Looks like fun bro Cheers man! :y: So yesterday, with the help of one of my friends, I got the central locking wired up and working! Only the front two doors though, lazy :laff: . Found a granny spec earring when we pulled the head unit holder thing off too haha : On both doors,I mounted the actuators in the bottom corner, down from the lock mechanism, close to that random green strip We also replaced my broken head unit while we were at it and the two front speakers. I always wondered why the old speakers sounded like ass And here's some photos of the new 4K I picked up: Supposedly it's now a 1.5L, I'll investigate further when I pull it all to bits :D And this morning these arrived: Now to put it all in! :greenbounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongJohnSilver Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Been a while since I've updated! Been busy with uni and work so had way less time to spend with the ol' ke. I'm on holidays for the next 2 weeks though so I'll be trying to get the new 4K I bought sussed out and in the car if it's any good! Bought myself a twinky steering wheel! Fitted the King Springs "lows" last weekend too! Heres how it sat front and back on stock springs and this shows the difference between the stock front springs and the king front springs and some other shots Would have taken more but my phone died! :bash: Tomorrow, when there's light, I'll get some photos of how it sits now :y: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongJohnSilver Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Needs more low. ;) haha yeah another 10-15mm would be ideal methinks, but I'm happy for the moment. Seems slightly more rigid now too, the person in the passengers seat doesn't lean into me during cornering anymore :y: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
