Help - Running Ae86 Suspension On A Ke70

[tetsujin]

ok first of all, hi!! :S

 

Just found this site today after browsing the net.

 

I never knew the site existed, and hve found out alot of useful info frm much reading.

 

I have a 1980 ke70 her and its only done 40000 km from new, not bad for a 26 year old car!!

 

Sorry that my first post is asking for help, but thats what led me here in the first place!

 

ok, I am puting a 4age into my KE70. At the moment, it has a 4 speed 4k in it. Now, I know that to put the 4age into the KE you need the ae86 x member, and the t50 gearbox x member aswell, whish is all good.

 

Also, I know, that as the T50 is a hydrolic I need the clutch pedal and the clutch master cylinder to make the clutch work.

 

so far, so good. Let me know if I have missed anythng.

 

Now my big worry, is making my ae86 coilover fit on my KE70.

 

What do I need to make them fit???

 

I know that I need AE86 hubs, calipers.

 

do I just need the ae86 steering knuckles??

 

Pleae let me know what I need to make it all fit.

 

I was hoping that I can just keep the std KE70 steering rack and TCA too.

 

I tried a search and could find anything re this but sorry if I overlooked it when I did search.

 

I understand that what I think is right is ok, but its always best to get a second opinion!!

 

 

 

 

so, as I have ranted on, just to make it clear, WHAT DO I NEED TO FIT AE86 SUPSPENSION ON A KE70??

 

 

thanks is advance dudes.

 

Cheers

 

Adam :P

alot of 86 parts will swap into the ke70/ae71.

 

With the sruts i belive that the strut hats are backwards (mine were when i got my coilovers). Appart from that you may need to sway the steering parts I'm not so sure, becuse i just used corona parts

Yes you can keep the existing steering rack and KE70/AE71/AE86 suspension is interchangable.

Cheers peeps!! :monkey:

 

just he info I needed!!

 

Ok I do have another question though.

 

I know that once the engine is sitting in the KE (4age) on the gear box x memeber and engine x member, but what I am unsure about, is once its sitting there, what is needed to actually make it work??

 

If we forget about the wiring for now, what I am concerned with is things like throole cable, speedo cable, heat controls etc. And also, like the rad fitment (will use a AE86 one)

 

What do I need to get in preperation for my conversion as I will be obtaining all the parts this week you see, and don't want to find I am missing anything in the process.

 

I have looked through lots of other posts here but I just couldnt find anythink very detailed on the 4age conversion.

 

 

ANY INPUT PLEASE :)

 

 

Cheers
