[ke_70]

yeah when i get around to it do an epic update

[ke_70]

weeeelllllll.... now where was i.? much has happened scene my "holiday".
basicaly i wanted to finish for annual but just came up to short because of some gay shitty problems. where everything that could go wrong did... more than once somtimes.
but anyway theres alot of things i dont like about this car. so im taking a 6 month break to build up some funds to put a bit of quality back into this. anyway heres some pics and a fail spec vid lol




ra60 t series in


6sp gearbox aquired


shows new crossmember and tunnel


os giken super single also TRD short shifter (yeh i know)






ke70 got defected again so all suspension went in. this is the lowest setting of the adj. rear spring seat belive it or not! more on that later lol


seat in


very high! higher in fact than the ke70 had adjusted all the way up! work that one out


getting serious now!


looking good


lots of fail here!


evo 6 rad. clears bonnet 5mm. and have managed to fit a hose on the top as well a temp sender


dodgy manifold is dodgy. works and fits perfect


tank in


found a fan out the back. doesnt really do anything


i hate this thing!


dont look at the gearbox crossmember!


looks less confusing than it really is


"that" exhaust. needs mods badly it may look alright in the end


custom clutch resivour. sp tech 70mm trumpets (just fit)


"that" exhaust again! needs mods and will shorten it till its just right





getting there. everything needs fine tuning here. but respectable in my opinion (rear has been raised and offset is now apparent)


just about the only thing that pro looking


6th point in now. would of liked black but oh well still mint


now the video... yes its not running right i know. had so much trouble with this fucking thing, but rarely it likes to fire up?
anyway some lolz in the first 40seconds then, just skip to 3mins as its just ideling while i stuff around with my muliti metre in there.


well thats pretty much it needs a tune badly as you can see, but id say shes about 50% done so still sooo much more to do.

open to any critisism, but keep in mind it still not finished!!!

and last of all massive massive thanks to pat (fantapants) couldnt of done it with out ya help mate
followed by brad!
and of course jay and nick at buddyparts!

Fark yeah when will it be track ready, I think we need a 4age v beams track day takai and myself v Andy, Touge Boy and yourself March or April would be good I should have mine running to its full potential and on 15s

Tougue Boy may have to raise his car a bit I can see full roll stiffness and spitting itself off at turn 1 as he hits the bump mid corner

Looks great

[ke_70]

yeah i dont know hey might be done by then. i really want to pull the whole thing down again...

unsure what i want from this car these days.

[Touge Boy]

Never! Ill just drive straight over the lot like last time

[charged]

fark if I did that I my thing half my car would be left behind...... you got very hungry at the apex

[Touge Boy]

not hungry, just a bit too excited haha.
