OK got this KE yesterday so I thought I shoudl post it up.
it's my first KE and my first RWD, bit of a change from my old ST162.

Car is primer with black bonnet, has a bit of rust and a lot of bog haha.
Planning to fix all that stuff up very soon.

MODS (if you can call it that)

-4k with a CAM
-No air filter
-Locker
-Falcon springs all round
-K50 gearbox
-Speed Bog
-Flared front guards
-Shitty rolled rear guards (must be fixed!!!)
-Meshies front
-Sigma control arms (anyone wanna swap me for some corna ones?)
-Quad headlights
-Fender mirrors
-No exhaust
-Tercel Swaybar
-Non working starter (must park it on hills)
-Also came with some 13/14" dragway things. Not sure havent measured yet, havent measured the width either.

It has anew stock clutch and brake pads.

MODS TO DO!

-Fix the paint and rust, then paint it white.
-New shocks
-New springs
-Strut brace
-Exhaust extractors
-32/36 weber with a filter

Then in not too distant future 4AGE swap.

But first things first I need to get tyres and fix the problem with the 4K, it runs like shit aso wheel alignment, just stuff to get it running OK.
Giving it a bit of a sprucing up today, so may get some more pics later too.

Does anyone wanna swap me their KE stock front lights for the quads it has? I don't like them personally and I'd like to have parkers back again lol.

Will update it soon. And oh it's very fun on dirt!!! can't wait till winter!

Now for the pics!

I know u said ghetto, but, daaayyumm!!

haha

no air filter

doesnt look like much work to get it tidied up though.

The 4K probably runs like shit because the carby is full of crap from not running an air filter.

go to the wreckers and get a replacement one if u can or rebuild the one uve got all the seals are probably gone.

Are those twinlights setup so the outside pair are parkers to ?

EMD-KE70
13th February 2007, 06:43 PM
Nah they arent set up as parkers, thats why i might wanna swap them for some Aus spec lights.
Either that of ill jus mount them in further and put some parkers in there.
And the dragways? umm not exactly sure.
Ill check em out tomorrow of tonight, not for sale though, they're going on the back asap!

is that an aftermarket seat or a jacket over your standard one

EMD-KE70
15th April 2007, 12:34 PM
lol lol lol
Its a sick Autotechnica fixed back seat, not too bad actually, i like it!
makes it a bitch to get in and out of the car though http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/sad.gif especially with the standard wheel, cant get my leggies in there very easily becasue of the high sides.

And apparently the cam is a 30/70 but it feels slower now than it did when running on 2 cyl.....my mate changed the timing a bit and it might not be tuned well for the cam on all 4s atm.

I'll find out if it actually has a big cam in it one day.

give it the matt black treatment, looks awsome allready

EMD-KE70
20th May 2007, 02:00 PM
OK OK! UPDATE!!!

KE70 blew a head gasket, and after much discussion, I'm just getting the 4K fixed for now.
New tyres on the front too, stock lights, little bit of a clean up, no guages anymore etc.

Head is at a workshop being shaved (to something like 9.5:1 compression I think), valve seals and port polish job.
The starter (brand new) fucked up, so I'm taking out moor to clean it up and gonna look at flywheel while its out.
Got another brand spanking starter. Ummm, getting a weber adaptor plate soon, for a 32/36.
I need some extractors, apparently they are essential for a cam this big (280 deg), stock ones don't flow enough, and the "how to build a tough 4K" article says this cam is too big for a 4K....oh well.

I think thats about it, should be running properly soon. Pretty much getting rebuilt. Going to be painted within the next few weeks once i get a couple of new panels. Also, if someone has a boss kit they'd like to give/sell I'd be glad to accept. Will sell in the not too distant future.

Pictures time....later tonight.

The head wasn't in that bad condition, so it just got a freshen.
New valve stem seals and cleaned everything up.
Shave etc.
Block is still stock apart from cam...
Getting a few more things soon, Maybe some wheels, exhaust...
Also need tacho dash, dont want to blow this motor :s

29th May 2007, 07:20 PM
How much did you shave off the head?

good work man.

EMD-KE70
30th May 2007, 01:18 AM
It got shaved as much as possible really, the guy reckons if it was shaved any more then the pistons would hit.
But if i look there is still a bit of meat left on (the indent thing, showing how much you can shave)
You can see in the pic of the bottom of the head, the little tabs at the bottom, if they are flat then you have shavd the head too much lol.

Anyone know how to work out compression on a motor once its in the car?

driftism
31st May 2007, 12:22 AM
errr... compression guage...

Rob
31st May 2007, 12:25 AM
That wont tell you the compression ratio. You need to measure the cc of the combustion chamber and do some calculation which i dont know, also headgasket thickness has something to do with comp ratio.

paulie
31st May 2007, 12:28 AM
TWIN SU's!!!! you'll be amazed at what you can squeeze out of the 4k LOL!

Its going alright, should have the motor in and running on Saturday.
Its just a bitch trying to get shit organized for the motor when i don't have any way to get there (U pull it etc)

Oh btw.....is there a reason that 1/2 of the gearbox bolts don't have nuts?
Weight reduction? lol
I got a new shifter too, the chopped one wasn't my style.
AJPS lock spacer should be going in as soon as i get the car running.
Need a new spark plug sleeve thing, one was broken down bottom, so oil was getting into the spark plug chamber/hole and when i went to check comp when it ran, oil splattered all over me.

BOSS kit needed http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/smile.gif someone donate http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I think thats about it for now, Oh it has new diff oil too, and gasket.
One more thing, The tacho....is it set to 4 cyl?
And i got a new temp sender and all this other shit, fuel lines (old ones were cracked)

I'm sure that is all.....

paulie
6th June 2007, 11:37 PM
good stuff.. LOL oh bout the gearbox nuts... i quickly put in a 5 speed box one night after work, was in a mad rush to get it ready for a little drive, so yeah took a few short cuts here and there... http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/7/5/4/536981.jpg

It runs perfectly, but it never starts.
The starter never turns over.
It just goes "click" from the starter.
New everything in there atm, starter, battery pretty much everything.
But yeah,I drove it last night, didn't thrash it, wanna let the hg bed in then tighten bolts again.

So thats the news.
