Brendon's KE/AE Daily

[AE86 Spoontah]

Hey all,
this is currently my daily driver while I try to get the Sprinter back on the road. Bought it off Doony about a month ago knowing it needed some work and have almost enjoyed every minute of driving it. Turned out that No. 2 cylinder had no compression, there was a massive vacuum leak somewhere and the carbie was gunked up

Ended up buying another 4K-C powerhouse for it and dropping it in over two nights and also bought a carbie kit so it's like it's from factory. It is a KE70 body but has AE front end as it was sagging according to Doony.

Handles extremely well and is a grippy little car that the missus can also learn in.Just needs wider rims and tyres as you can feel them flexing when cornering hard. So thats the story so far and it hasn't missed a beat, time for some specs.

ENGINE:
Older 4K-C with some emmissions removed
Brand new carbie kit in it
Excellent air-con
2.5" Dori exhaust pipe out back

SUSPENSION:
Ae86 struts and brakes
Lovell's 5+3 kg springs
Koni yellows all round (yes adjustable, NO not short stroke)
Standard cheese graters and tyres

INTERIOR:
Unknown reclinable bucket seat
HKB boss kit
D1 spec steering wheel
TRD gear knob
Centre console removed

EXTERIOR:
Side strips removed
Wheel archs slightly rolled
Rolla badge

Plans are to fix the boot up and paint it and also the bonnet black and maybe convert back to KE front, purchase some wider rims and tyres. . . maybe turbo it as i have two spare turbo's lying around
