can i use the 86 t50 ,and 86 diff and tailshaft for a ke70 , and the clutch lines slave cylinder n master lies n cylinder and sway bars n that , i have a totalled 86 that im not using can i take all the parts i dont need off that

[Gilly]

yeah it says that in the link i posted........

you only need one thing an AE71 pedal box

everything else you can use from your 86.

[Brendo]

cant u use the pedal box from an 86? i thought the one u sold me gilly was 86? either way it fitted fine

and u can keep the ke70 diff and use an ae71 tailshaft Cj sullivan.

but spose if u got the whole sprinter drietrain..why not

[Gilly]

nah yours was a genuine bona fide Ae71 pedal box

funny story i sell you my spare then i sell my 86 and get a 70 and hey need an ae71 pedal box

i lol'ed at the irony, got one now though so all good.

[Cj_sullivan]

yea i basically have the whole ae86 drivetrain , what are the ke70s like to drive n how do they handle the twisties thats what is gona b for , ive tried taking my 250rwkw s14.5 thru the twisties its not a good thing

ive always had a softspot for the old corollas

[Gilly]

you need to think of the 70 as an funny looking 86

they are basically the same car. think about it, if all the stuff from an 86 will fit you have to suspect they are a very similar car http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/tongue.gif

70/71/86 = same shit different bucket

isnt the steering rack way different, would this be something worth swapping in the conversion?

The steering rack is different from 70 to 86. CJ, mate id suggest buying a AE71 if you can cause there is a bit of shit to do to the 70 for the 4age conversion, and if you unpatient like me then your swearing every 10 seconds.

whilst i agree its a pain in the ass, i reckon the learning expeirence is well worth it. Another important factor is that there are only a handfull of ae71's out there compared to the ke70's. then devide that tiny amount in half because almost half are autos. IMHO its better to buy a decent condition ke70 (again, more common = easier to get = better buying range = potentially better car) and the conversion parts and just convert it.

cheers

Yeah its a great learning experience i agree, i was in a cbf mood last night so get a KE70 its fun to convert it.
