Hi everyone, thought it would be a good idea to start a build thread on here...

Bought this last year for $180 with stuffed seats, broken window and free rust... a few dollars later I'd fixed those and put 12months rego on.

Specs at the moment are

Suspension
-Front
XT130 Struts, Tie rods and twin piston brakes
XT130 LCAs
ST185 KYB Excell G shocks with spacer
AJPS 6kg AE86 Front springs (was after 7kg and a spring to suit the corona spring perch and ke70 top but AJPS = fail)

-Rear
AJPS 5kg Rear springs
Standard monroe GT gas rear shocks

-Interior
OBX Daytona fixed back bucket seat welded onto standard rails
MOMO "race" steering wheel
Tacho Dash

-Wheels
Front - SSR Mk1s 14x6.5
Rear - SSR Mk1s 14x7
all with mix-matched tyres...

-Engine
Standard 4k putting out about 2 and a half KW
(Have a wrecked ae92 sx with a strong smallport 4age sitting in my driveway with a bent chassis-just waiting on funds to get all the other parts to put it in the KE70)

Pics (hope these pics work)
When I first bought it
21862
First run at wakefield
21866
Bucket seat
21864
How it sits at the moment
21865
AE92sx wreck
21863
Future plans are...
Finish/Start smallport 4age conversion
Strip Interior and remove all sound deadening
Purchase a full cage & 5 pt harness
Front strut brace
Get some decent shocks for the rear
Fit semi slick tyres
Thrash it around the track till it dies.

Love any comments/feedback :S

Full cage to buy would be pretty expensive? Unless you know someone that can make one?
