Hitorikos KE70

[hitoriko]

Hi guys,

I stumbled across this site looking at corolla mod ideas and such and i love the starlets although there damn near impossible to find in melb!

anyways heres my car Stock standard ke70 that i picked up off ebay for 700 - spent 700 for RWC (still needs tyres)

Its an auto and a 4k engine so nothing extreme, when i got it home it was off idle spent 100 on doing a full service and the onlything that was wrong was the points a new set of those and its perfect!

Pics:




Then about 2 months after buying it (still not on the road) i went and brought some 13" x 7" wide Superlights.

Now the guards need to be rolled and the car needs to be lowered all around but the rims suit the car i think.

Pics:





I also had brought a 5speed gearbox and everything but the pedal box to convert it to manual but im not sure if i'm gonna do that because...

I also used to have a 4ac ADM Sprinter that i was building for track but i canned that idea and sold the shell off with basically nothing but the diff in it. I had gathered a fair bit of parts for it the main things are:

4AGE block bored 40thou over
T50 GearBox
Tailshaft to suit
new oversied Pistons (40thou), Rings to suit, Complete gasket set, new oil pump, 2 heads, a spare block and heaps more bits and pieces

so thats it next thing is to build the 4age and get it ready for the ke70 or buy a KP starlet and drop the 4age in that.

Cheers guys i hope you enjoy that!
