start the right up of my new ride. it's a 1 owner jobbie, still done 200,000klms but is in good nick, luckily enough to have zero rust. has had a repair in the bottom corner of the hatch but thats about it. has normal carpark dents and a couple in the roof, should be able to pop most out but meh probably never do it.
was going to do another ke70 using most of the parts from my carina project which has since been scrapped. this 86 came up when i was lucky enough to have some cash and the rest is history. no specs yet as it is bog stock, except for some oh my god JDM stylez 13inch cross fever racing rims which have already been sold.
getting s13 coilovered tomorrow, and some TRD stuff thrown in the rear + rims, should be a different car in 24 hours.

yeah thats what i thought! i put them on my ke70 and at the rear the guards were resting on the tyres and at the front they hung out the guards a good 15 to 20mm!! my old 15x7 =12 superlites used to sit in the rears just and flush with the fronts!!
Carina was going to cost me too much to do and i wasn't completely happy with it, i like the small cars, however the new owner is building it up so all is not lost!
yeah, unfortunately 13's won't fit over my CA18 brakes, prefer $$ anyway, the way i see it it means i paid less for the car if i sell shit off it i don't need.
as we speak the car has been slammed, s13 coilovers have been fitted to the front with no major hassles at all, just had to change the rack ends, something i hadn't considered.
have no rear springs at the moment thought i had some that would fit but was wrong. just need to find out what rate the fronts are so i can choose some suitable rears.
should get my rims and tyres back today 4 brand new nankangs $350 (through a hook up though) then i can get out the "ghetto garage" guard roller and do some flaring.
