    Default The Daily Mole

    Just got myself a daily, helped a mate get it, but it sat in his yard for 12 months doing nothing, so i took it off his hands.

    Cost me $1000

    Flat front Ke70
    Black top/Grey bottom paint.
    Dinosaur 2TGEU - injection replaced with Mikuni Phh Carbs
    5 speed - K50 i think? have no idea
    200mm 6kg rears (new)
    Boag turbo short stroke shock (new)

    SO

    Wouldn't start , pulled plugs, cleaned them up, and gave it a gut full of "start YA Bastard" and off she went.
    Carbs need a tune.
    Cams unknown, but has a lumpy idle

    plans, just get it running , rego, drive it.
    needs a new throttle linkage, and some other things.
    think i will also remove to booster so i can get some stacks and filters on the carbs.
    Going to run 14' wheels - some of those Diamond racing steelies
    was optimistic and thought id see if my superlights would fit under the guards.. ha! dreaming

    Amazing! cheap as too! looks like a very nice buy. Gearbox will be a T50 different spline to an ae86 type one though.

    Yeah righto, box feels nice, I just didn't know what type of box they used with the T block.
    I suspect there will be some decent mods inside, when I got it running it had a lumpy idle and the clutch in it is something solid center but an organic plate or the sort, and a heavy pressure plate.

    Gearbox will be a T50, unless its been converted to a W5X gearbox with a 1GGTE bellhousing.

    2TG's are great, give it a good tune and she'll be singing over 7,000RPM

    Just sorting out the carbs and tune ATM, the old owner had the timing set st 15 deg btdc , where this version should be only 5 deg btdc. This made it run alot better.
    I've ordered a few parts for the carbs, including parts for a new linkage and some parts for the starter system on the carbs.
    Got a genuine mikuni phh carb manual and I've got my hands on a wide band o2 sensor etc and I've got a vac gauge onnits way to balance the carbs .

    Next week I'm making a mild steel 2 1/4 " exhaust system, under diff, and a straight out 3" rear pipe.
    Will post pics.

    Need to mod the extractors where it meets the main system as is makes the rest of the system hang way to low!
