KE30Pete Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) Hey guys, just joined the Forum, been reading for a few weeks now so decided to join up Name: Pete Car: KE30 2 Door Motor & Driveline: 4K, 5 speed manual (T50?), 2way LSD (Possibly TRD) Suspension & Brakes: Standard Wheels & Tyres:13X7 Revolites 185/60 Interior: Seats re-covered in black, black carpet (originally beige interior) Body:White 2 door, non standard front grille. Other: Twin 40 Dellortos, Big cam (unknown) Bought the car as you see in the pictures, it's a UK car originally a 3K Auto. Started to work on it, trying to get it ready for the MOT. I started to balance the carbs and discovered a stripped head bolt hole for the inlet manifold, fixed it with a helicoil, starting to make a 4 branch stainless exhaust manifold while the carbs and exhaust are off the head. Want to change the wheels, go a bit wider. Need to get it lowered a lot. Then just drive it this summer.

TerrySchmiddy Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Name: Marcus Car: 1977 ke35 coupe Motor & Driveline: 3k-c with a 4 speed manual Suspension & Brakes: ? (Probably stock) Wheels & Tyres: stock Interior: rough to say the least. No headlining or carpet, 5 cracks in the dash, and the vinyl seats are pretty well shredded! Speedo cable is shot so no way of telling the speed other than judging off the other traffic and/or the Tom Tom. Body: a few small scratches and dents, but is almost COMPLETELY rust free! Other: aftermarket taco and central locking. I've had the car for one day now, every time I look at it my face just lights up with happiness. When I drove it for the first time I absolutely adored the raw feel of the car. I love how nimble it is but mainly just how awesome it looks. I honestly can't say much for the performance but every other aspect of the car is truly amazing! Plans: in the near future, the only plan is to figure out a nice suspension setup and a set of SSR MK3s (if funds permit) For the suspension, I'm thinking either 1. xt130 struts with otomoto coilover sleeves 2. Modified ae86 coilovers In the back, lowering blocks and an extra leaf for stiffness after I get sick of the 3k/4spd combo ill be looking for a 2tg or a 4age with a 5 spd box and a 2way As far as mechanical experience goes, I've changed a flat before and poked around some rust in an old morris. Not much, but I love tinkering with stuff and I learn pretty quick so I'm hoping this build goes to plan. I'd love some advice on anything at all with the rolla. Cheers!

ke30_matt Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Gidday, been looking through the forums for a while now, thought it was time to join up. Name: Matt Car: 1978 KE30 Motor & Driveline: 5K Suspension & Brakes: Stock Wheels & Tyres: Cheesecutters Interior: Sprayed gloss black, home made custom carpet and door cards. Body: Rough. Some pretty average panel work, and matte black spray can paint. Other: Picked the car up cheap to use as a daily to/from work. Found out it had a blown head gasket so have fixed the engine up a bit, had the head reconditioned, water pump replaced, many more things to get it running again. Is still green stickered from the last owner driving around on cutties. Plan is to get a WOF in the next few weeks hopefully! No plans to make it look to great at this stage, just want to get it back on the road. Also have another 76 KE30 been stripped back to bare metal, with a 3SGE to go into it at some stage. Yes that is a broom holding the bonnet up haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
