[KE20]

I'm bored so i thought i'd start a thread on my 73 ke20.
I bought if from melbourne for $400 a mate drove it over for me i was just going to clean it up enough to pass for rego but turned into a re-spray and started collecting bits for when it has S.A. reg as usual it has taken way longer than expected but im trying to get it on the road buy october.

Those wheel nuts look pretty trendy, Where did ya get em? Have to run longer studs on the front now with a slip on to clear my RX7 brakes.

[benzo]

Wheel nuts would be from Otomoto I'm guessing. KKR items

Liking this so much, had to say as I noticed I hadn't yet commented. I'm a bit of a KE20 nut

KE2# struts are pretty hard to come by. Why not use the ones in the car?

Yep kkr's from ottomoto wayno, yeah the struts are hard to find but i found a pair I dont want to used the originals coz i want original parts to bolt back in because pretty much guaranteed a defect in sa.
The car is at buddyparts at the moment getting some heavy quarter panel love from jay and nick its looking good so hopefully ill have this thing painted in the next few weeks,getting some cusco camber tops too to complete the front end setup and picked up some rcas as well

needs lower profile tyres scrubs on lock bad prob get some 175 65's

[benzo]

175/60 is what cool people do :)

[Fusion]

If your looking for decent tyres in that size, I'd reccomend the Yokohama A539's. Theres a guy running them in SA on a Mira :D

Loving the colour

[KE20]

175/60 is what cool people do :)

Yeah i know considering a falken 175 60 but i dont wanna go reeeally low and 60's might give me a big tyre to guard gap at a respectable height and end up looking gay.Ill have to see what 13inch options there are

A KE20 should be able to pull of 175/60 easily.

I have heard good things about the Falkens, yet to try them.

[Fusion]

They come in a variety of profiles from looking on the Yokohama site. However from memory I think the Mira's were 175/60.

Use to be with Andy, think its changed owners again (unless the next owners name is Andy aswell . . . :D)

They guys with Mini's love them. The ones I had for the Mira came from the UK, but you can get them locally

ke_70 owns it now.

What sort of coin do these go for?

[Fusion]

Minisport A539 (http://www.minisport.com.au/category32_1.htm)

These guys sell them for $160. Only guys in SA that I know off, and I did search a fair bit for various 13" tyre. Not a bad price considering the tyre. I heard of the A048's going for $225 (if memory serves me right), but in limited stock from Yokohama Australia. However a full grip tyre was a bit overboard haha

Id get a set if i can find them in a 60 profile but 50 is too low
These falkens seem ok http://www.bobjane.com.au/tyreset-details/tyresetID/231/idm/13/ispt/Tyres/isu/6.html?sid=laf8rj7plqns2116

[Fusion]

You could always ring up and ask them if they could get some in, but I am guessing they would have to ship them in from the UK.

Falkens look good though. What they chargin?
