Willis Posted November 22, 2012 Report Posted November 22, 2012 So me and my friends picked up another KE70. Thought I'd make a thread. Plans are to throw all the gear from the beige car into this and get it on the road so that means; - Standard Blacktop 20v with Sam Q water kit and velocity stacks. Also has SP Tec dizzy relocation kit. Running standard ECU. - Ebay spec alloy radiator with standard AE111 thermo mounted - W55 and my short shifter - Button clutch - T18 T series - 1L surge tank - Bosch 070 - VDO VL lift pump I've already thrown the suspension and brakes from the beige car into it so that's - BC coilovers up front, 8kg springs - AE86 hubs - ADM AE86 brakes (Cheers again Rian) - AE86 PS knuckles - AJPS 50mm RCA's - BC adjustable shocks in the rear with their 6kg springs and adjustable height spring seats - Whiteline adjustable panhard rod Wheels are 14x7 -5 Chevoit Centreliney things. Look like MK1's. Pretty cool I think. It's 5 speed and I'm going to rep 4K power until it all goes down. Plan is still primarily to go drifting but want to rego this one and drive it around so the setup will remain fairly mild. Was running -2.5 degrees of camber and 1mm toe out each side which I think is kinda streetable so I'll aim for that with my next wheel alignment. I have no real time frame for the conversion but I'd like to go drifting as much as possible next year, I didn't get to do it this year so I'll be happy if I can do it on a semi regular basis in 2013. Anyway, I've only got 2 pics at the moment but will take some more in the sun soon. Quote
azza91 Posted November 22, 2012 Report Posted November 22, 2012 much rust in this one? rims look good on it! Quote
Willis Posted November 23, 2012 Author Report Posted November 23, 2012 much rust in this one? rims look good on it! There's a little bit but nowhere near as much as the beige car. Thanks man, I think so too. Me no understand, Rian. Looks good bro. Cheers Reed. White power, hazarr! Hot Shower!! Hazarr!! Quote
It's_AUDM_Yo Posted November 23, 2012 Report Posted November 23, 2012 Is white rare for KE70s? why is it that I hardly see that colour. Put rego on mine this morning :) Quote
Willis Posted November 23, 2012 Author Report Posted November 23, 2012 Is white rare for KE70s? why is it that I hardly see that colour. Put rego on mine this morning :) Nice man!! Keen for a drive when I get rego for this one! I don't think white's rare, I've seen a fair few of them. I think they look good in white. Quote
Willis Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Posted November 24, 2012 So put the Whiteline panhard rod in today and went for a drive. Needs a wheel alignment but it's just amazing what "good" suspension does for the car. It felt freaking awesome. Was such a nice drive. Just need to put my 86 seat in it and get some rego, then I'll be back in a Rolla! Anyway, more pics. Quote
Willis Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Posted November 24, 2012 Thanks man! I agree!! Can't wait to get it registered! I should really get some pics of it actually moving. After rego of course.. Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted November 24, 2012 Report Posted November 24, 2012 Peanut is almost back on the road. Can't wait. Quote
Willis Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Posted November 24, 2012 Oh man, I feel you. It's such a good feeling to go on that first drive. Yours should go great after all the work. Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted November 24, 2012 Report Posted November 24, 2012 Considering the amount of half assed work I've corrected lately I should hope so! Quote
Willis Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Posted November 24, 2012 It will. We should organise a little KE70 convoy once I've got some rego. Really keen to go on a big drive. Would be cool to get some photos too. Quote
