lol did you not see the gearstick in the interior shot

[Ksevn-T]

Yeh, its manual. Found it on ebay but wasnt the highest bidder. The owner contacted me for a second chance offer. Its pretty clean, stoked as. Gota go take it in to get a RW check tonight.

[Ksevn-T]

So far i know it needs: 2x sun visors, Center console + gear shifter surround, 2x new front tyres and heater switch/core.

And a good Tune.

[Sherlock]

Errrrrr JDM? ADM I think mate =P

Nice find though, great little starter!

[Ksevn-T]

yeh i pulled that strip of yesterday and a pile of bog fell off so I'm gona have to do some rust reperage!


Thought you could tell if it was JDM depending on the mirrors or somethin.

[stahlz_ae86]

Nice score. Good to see the KE enthusiasm starting to build in Melbourne.

[Ksevn-T]

Yeh, trying to convince my mates to buy em' too! Gota find some people in my area for cruises, etc.

[Ksevn-T]

First step, before any mods is a "Roadworthy". Went to pick-a-part yesterday and got some bits to put the damn thing on the road. Will have pics on the updates very soon.

[Ksevn-T]

Nothing that exciting, just a Few bits and pieces from the auto self serve on the weekend to get roadworthy:

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/4/8/4/3/169012.jpg

Need to get this damn thing on the road!!!

[stahlz_ae86]

Need any other parts?

[Ksevn-T]

hey stahlz_ae86,

added you on messenger. Off the top of my head i needa get a fan cowling, 2 new tyres, front brake hoses thats all i can think off atm. Then just other shit like drum brakes needa be machined and service and tune. Shouldnt be too long til its on the road. Needa make that vic ae86 cruize coming up.

[jarrod-os]

nice find dude...

good luck wiht it all ayy. keep us updated ;)

[Ksevn-T]

Hopefully she'll be Roadworthy by the end of this coming week. the question is

What to start modding first (preferably cheapest)?

[Sherlock]

Suspension, always do the suspension first! :lol:

[Ksevn-T]

ok so, First drop it like its hot on some chopped falcon springs for the time being, while i save up some cash for coilovers. Does anyone here know what the lowest legal ride height is in VIC?

[stahlz_ae86]

yet to catchya on msn man but if u need to borrow tyres for RW purposes gimme a PM or buzz on o four 2 two 7 two 7 eight 7 one

cya

[Ksevn-T]

After spending around $700, My shitta finally got a legit roadworthy. Driving tonight, Everyone off the road if you wana live!
Pick-a-part this weekend to try find: Corona Xt130 struts + LCA's, hylux calipers, Peugeot disks, Falcon springs, suzuki shocks and a tacho dash.

[Ksevn-T]

on the road happy snaps to come tomorrow!

[Ksevn-T]

[Ksevn-T]

Got more bits and pieces (hoping i got the right stuff) over the weekend from center road self serve. Picked; Corona struts, LCA's, Calipers, Disks, AU falcon springs, Sukuki vitara shocks ( because they had no Sierra's) and some other random bits and peices. Will hopefuly have it all in this coming weekend. Pics up soon.

[shorty]

nice find :)

good luck converting it to ae71 in the future

I'm in adelaide and parts are pretty scarce

but hunting and collecting is half the fun :)

be different and put quads in the slanty front :P

i just got some 4 mine (pending) but its the early front

its been done... just search around on here

as for ride height i think the myth is that the lowest point on ur car has to clear a coke can ... 100 or 110mm

yet go try that myth on the rear of a VE cop car <_<

and YES get ur mates to get these :) :) :)

[Ksevn-T]

"yet go try that myth on the rear of a VE cop car dry.gif"

?

I'm not too much of a fan of the slanty quad light job without the rest of it to go with. Ive seen a fair few flat front ends that i could have picked, but short of cash once again.

[Ksevn-T]

Some updates as of last weekend.

- Chopped standard springs to get an idea of ride height for falcon springs and corona struts.
- Cusco copy strut brace.
- Repaired Rust.
- Golf ball shifer.
- More random bits and peices

Not much, but its something.

Bit of a collarge happening:

[Whip]

Did you get prosecuted?

[stahlz_ae86]

He sure did, paid the fine on the spot with gearstick boot and console plastics :)

[Ksevn-T]

LOL

My mates gf's handbag got cought on my already cracked center console and as she was getting out snapped the remaining bits of by yanking her bag so i thought the leather boot might as well come off too, since there was a nice rubber one underneath. As for the golf ball, it just snapped in half one day just like my exhaust tonight, in the apex of a corner.

[Ksevn-T]

Got me some new wheels tonight, Thanks to julzy. don't know what the hell they are but there better than stock and will hopefully have them on this weekend for the cruise! Pics up soon!

[sdm86]

white xe7x in the background with quads and bumper on page 1 ?
was that being wrecked? or did you drive up in that ?

[MountainRunner]

thats a corona dude LOL!

[Ksevn-T]

Sorry for 56k viewers.

Cheers,

[MountainRunner]

nice ride height dude cars look good!

[Ksevn-T]

well apart from tyres and wheels and other bits and peices,
The car used to look nice until i hit a wall after the photoshoot. I need some pannel work now :( anyone care to lend a hand???

[lilslvrrolla]

Those wheels are the same as mine, before I painted em black :D 14x? Delta's. Your's are twice as sparkly, mine were a bit crusty haha

[shorty]

wheels n ride height look sweet!

[Sherlock]

Car looks dope, or did :lol:. How much damage did you do?

[Ksevn-T]

yeh. 14 delta's! they look alright.
did a bit of damage. Pushed beaver panel and left quarter in as well as braking the bumper off the mounts, sucks, have to go to pick-a-part now or find a way of hammering panels out.

[Ksevn-T]

Things on the e-gender for the week.

Fender mirrors.

Tacho dash with coloured lighting.

Nrca's

Wheels.

[Ksevn-T]

finally got off my arse and cleaned up some bits and peices.

The usual, xt130 struts and LCA's + Chopped falcons to suite.

Ended up buying an immobilizer kit off ebay for a $1 which was a fair laugh. (Now installed)

The next question is:
To Lower MORE or NOT to lower?

Just bought a pair of Monroe Gas super short strokes out of a Suzuki Sierra.

Since the colision with the Bloody! toilet block, Its all been fixed up thanks to Paul and his Ae71 donor Car.

Pics up soon...

lol, you should see it now, pretty sorry lookin' car :ninja: and I'm going for round 3 with the grinder this weekend.

[MountainRunner]

lookin good man what springs and shocks u gonna run or u gonna coilover em ?

[hilton]

lookin good dude.

good to see your doing the important stuff first, suspention lolz.

let me know if ya need anythign i got alot of shit laying around!

[Ksevn-T]

Thanks for the donor parts Paul. Would hate to see what the car looks like now. lol. Ravaged being an understatement?

Trying to get the car to handle nicely so suspension is crucial. So far:

For the time being,
Chopped Falcons all round. -- Until i get some super low AJPS springs.
Possibly puting some sierras in the rear that i have lying round. -- Eventually KYB adjustable
Xt130 arms and struts that went in as of yesterday. -- Might send them off to be coil-overed or even get some T3 Coilovers

Getting Lateral bar next week but am unsure of what make, etc. etc. Rose jointed or bushed???

[MountainRunner]

what ever you do don't get a whiteline panhard rod

[starni_boy]

Why?

Most of them are fine, and if they arent they can always be sent back and replaced with a new one.

Cusco are great, but Cusco = $$

[Ksevn-T]

Whats wrong with whiteline? Had one offered to me cheap. Are they lifetime warranty?
What are Noltec like?

[julzy]

just chop and weld your stock bar

[Ksevn-T]

Rose joints arent cheap. What lateral bar are you running julzy?

[julzy]

chopped standard bar,
high tensile rod $15 and a nut $1,
chop 20ish cm out of the standard bar ,
weld the nut on one end, and the rod in the other,
and adjust all you want,
it works as well as any other, cheap and easy

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/4/8/4/3/176065.jpg

[reecegze]

Fairly good cheap idea/alternative. Props Julzy. Is this the sort of bar you lining up for that new white ke of yours? Are stock bars even hollow?

[julzy]

yeh stocko bars are hollow,
the red 71 has this in it,
white jet is running stocko everything lol

Coilovers are a muuuusst. You will love them.

Car is coming along nicely.

[MountainRunner]

whiteline is adjustable off car which is pointless and defeats the purpose of having a adjustable pan hard rod

[Sherlock]

Just buy mine! lol

[Ksevn-T]

bit steep. Might just settle for the whiteline.
