    its been covered so many times before.

    struts/brakes/steering arms are a good upgrade for a ke70 becuase you can run the bigger shock diameter and alos have bigger brakes at the same time.

    cant really use anything else in a 4age conversion except from the second half of the tailshaft back.

    you could always do the (2t?) conversion into the 70

    gearbox
    full tailshaft
    diff

    you'll need a 4a bellhousing to make it work. it will accept 4a clutches, the output shaft spline count is different to 86/71 but you have the front tailshaft half so it works out

    pedal box doesn't line up with KE70 bulkhead bolt holes, you can make it work, i've used one, but it sat the column too low and off to the right. could cut and reweld it, depends how keen you are i guess

    keep the clutch master, slave and hard line as they are the same/similar as JDM 86

    keep the struts and coilover them, as mentioned earlier brakes are bigger than 70 but smaller than 86

    obviously the series 1 bumpers sell for good money on here. and there are particular parts of the front paneling of 1 version that are compatible with the "jdm quads lights" set up.

    you definitely want the gearbox x member too. as often youll get a 86 t50, but the 86 x member wont work.

    if youre really keen maybe take the key barrels if theyre a matching set.

    maybe the carpet will work?

    tail lights.
