Kez's KE70 drift project

[Ke70-noob]

Hey guys, so a little bit bout me, ive loved modding cars & never kept anything stock in my life, im slightly technical minded but havent had that much experience on the mechanics side of things which im really keen to learn bout & i think this KE70 will help me with ;).. My daily/streeter has been a swift sport for the last yr & now ive pretty much got my swift to where im happy with it so ive moved onto a new project & to start getting myself into drifting.. So i went out & started looking for something cheap, something with easy parts & cheap parts to get, obviously something rwd & something with potential.. So while i was looking on forums & trying to hunt one down my dad found this granny spec KE70 up near Tamworth, so i called him up & asked him bout it, he sent me some pics & it was pretty mint :).. obviously being a 83 model its not going to be showroom condition but with no rust a strong 4k motor with genuine motor matched with the car with 150,000km on it & been rebuilt recently & a good 4 speed manual lol, she is a lil beast.. I met him halfway on saturday & test drove it & was one of the best ive seen.. so i now have a granny spec rolla which wet slides fucking awesome & already looked a set of shoes for her, some 14x6.5 0 offset & 14x7 -5 offset respectively.. so heres the pics of Gurdie (Gertrude) lol

[Ke70-noob]

Thanks man, not sure about them yet, i really want mesh rims but no one has any for sale. Also got king springs from some guys on here just need some time & some help putting em in. If anyone in the shire would like to help me for your choice of chosen currency of beer smokes lunch or vodka that would be awesome :)

[70rolla]

Would give a hand if I had my p's

[Ke70-noob]

70rolla - your in the shire to arnt you? I could come to you easily if that's best for you. :)

Update - I got the back springs in but are so short when you jack the car back up they come off their positioning lol, probs happens to most of you. Fronts I tried but I only got so far & then had some difficulty getting the shock/strut off so gave up & put it back together :) lol

& I'm pretty sure I've found my rims which will be a set of rota grid classic v in 15x8 +0 offset in white but will be spraying them something different :) stay tuned..

[Ke70-noob]

Nice keto man, real minter. The Rotas will look awesome on your car, was considering them for my car when i was getting wheels. that swift is nice, what have you done to it if you don't mind me asking?

[Ke70-noob]

Um just usual, CAI that sits behind the bonnet scoop of the CF bonnet, lowered, straight through exhaust, rims, sound system, jdm tow hook, projector headlights with 12000k HID (bright purple) thats all i can think of at the moment but theres more lil bits & bobs lol..

[Ke70-noob]

So new update guys :)

Dropped the fronts with the help of 70rolla (champion) & found out my shocks were fucked so bought some pedders of 70rolla that he had lying in the garage so now have full new pedders front end on it & handles so much better than the old boat she was. For shits & giggles we also put on an OG rim to see what it looked like. So pumped to get some rims on it now!! so ill let the pics do the rest of the story..
