ChrisGT Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 (edited) I bought this ke20 off ebay, most of you have seen it already. Its mods are: Bigport 4age T50 Locked ke20 diff Haltech Computer Accord seats 16 inch Simmons B45 wheels (8 inch front and 9 inch rear!) Ta22 struts, brakes and LCA Autometer gauges Ford TB and custom intake Basically I'm going to use this car as a daily till i get my ke35 on the road then we will see what happens. It has some problems: brake Master cylinder is stuffed and too small for the ta22 calipers T50 is hard to down shift into 2nd and 3rd gears. Wires need a tidy up and same with the interior. Other than that I'm very happy with it. Here are some shots: (these just off ebay will get some good outside ones soon) Just done a brake MC upgrade will post up soon!

Redwarf Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 (edited) Nice, except I want to know who the heathen was that chopped the Sprinter dash to put the gauges in...... As far as master cylinder goes, try something like Lada Niva, Suzuki Swift or RX2 I believe fits without a great deal of trouble. Measure first though. ;) These are all dual circuit too. The gearbox thing is common-ish. I had the same issue. Something to do with the dogs on the syncros (?)...... I'd have to ask my gearbox man to be certain.

ChrisGT Posted September 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 yeah thanks guys...needs alot of work to get it looking good the outside is fairly bad too has a big dent in the drivers side rear quater...eventually i want to get it painted white when i find a pannel beater. I already done the MC mod, got a 83 mazda 323 MC its a 13/16" which is bigger than the one on it before....it bolts stright up and the lines just need a bit of bending. ke20 MC V's 323 MC: only real mod was to extend the bosster push rod by 7mm: and its in!

I'd have to ask my gearbox man to be certain. yeah the guages have been done badly! anyway swapped out the T50 already however the tail shaft in the old box is jammed in there...tried everything....hitting it with a hammer, slide hammer and even a hydraulic ram!! still wont budge! A pic of the new box in with the 2.5 inch zorst and the custom gearbox mount: Edited September 18, 2006 by ChrisGT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
