June 6, 200620 yr comment_121510 OK guys..... Thinking of a new project and after some opinions...... ECUs, wires everywhere, injectors etc..... Great fun, but i miss the ol' skool!....... I want to go back to the good old k series, so easy to work on.... Ive got the 5k engine finally running right, but was just wondering what shell? I was after either a sedan or 2door preferably around the ke30 series..... Possible options are: KE30 sedan - love the looks KE20 2door - Small, Light, Expensive? KE70 - More modern, Decent rear suspension, but to NEW! Possibly build up a hot 4k, or supercharged 5k... COMMENTS PLEASE?....... :faq: Report
June 6, 200620 yr comment_121518 Go the early shape KE70 I say, They still have the oldschool look to them.. Report
June 6, 200620 yr comment_121521 :faq: -That and there are shitloads around for parts. :D Personally. I'd go KE30. Jon. Report
June 6, 200620 yr Author comment_121529 Yeah, its a hard life, all these decisions! :D Would love a carb S/C powered KE20 w/ white wall tyres, venetian and a little sun visor!........ KE70 would be the way of the future, decent suspension (getting away from the rear leafs) tonnes of easier upgrades (ae71/ae86).. How much do the early ke70s weight in at? :faq: Report
June 6, 200620 yr comment_121532 i would go the ke70, my brother has the late model ke70 and its fun car! Report

And that 4k was over 300,000 kms, and was flogged in the wagon, thought to be dead, and then revived in my mates ke35 coupe and now he thrashes it..... and i think its only had one oil change!....... :faq: Does anyone have pics of some modified ke30 2 doors?
