Pete's Poo Brown KE70
Hey guys, been on here for over a year now, 99% of the time I've just been looking at other peoples builds, on the sale forums, getting idea's, admiring peoples work. All this while having my lonely little car sitting in the garage while I waited for the day I turned 18.
Had a ke70 for a while completely stock, with 300+ on the clock, drove in it for most of my L's, then a brothers friend needed a car, so we pimped it out with some white GT stripes, and white stockos. And gave him that.
This one is a different story; dad was doing some work at a ladies house, fixing an aerial or something, and he noticed a brown ke70 in her garage, asked her about it. She had owned it since new, always garaged, 17x,xxx Km's on it, it had broke down a few years ago, and she had it towed home and left it in the garage. She told my dad if he could get it running, it's his. My dad had a look at it and it turned out it was just a blown head gasket, somehow he got it running, and drove it home. That's when I got my hands on it!
Car was sent to dad's mate who put in the new head gasket and apparently did some work as well, new valve springs etc.
Didn't really do anything to it until I got my P's, spent a year looking for parts and collecting just some small stuff, extractors, muffler, some wheels.
The 4k goes well, obviously one day will want a 4age but for now it's good enough, spins "a wheel" in 3rd gear in the wet, good fun!
Few days before I got my P's I put on the front chrome bumper (have the back just haven't made up mounts to fit it yet), put in a custom carby rev limiter + installed tacho into the dash instead of clock, gave it a good polish, installed a sound system, and a wannabe "DRiFT" knob. (love the brand!)
Dash being ripped apart
Tacho install, was a hassle to install, had to disconnect the circuit board of the tacho as it wouldnt fit, then lengthen the wires and mount the circuit board somewhere else. Also included is a relay based rev limiter, got the idea off of this post on Rollaclub
My dad wired it up, but didn't use that post as a guide he just figured it out himself, the inital Idea was from there though. It works well!!! Sounds sick too. It's adjustable aswell.
Speakers in the parcel shelf
Some 17x7's, front's had no chance of fitting but suprisingly the rears fit fine, sit reallyyyy far in. I thought they were madddd until I got the challengers which suit the car so much more.
And challengers that I got just the other day, 15x8 -4, rear tyres are bald so need new tires for them before I put them on, the front's stick out of the guard 15mm+ so need to either flare them/negative camber. Didn't try them on the rear. Wan't to get proper springs as well as short stroke shocks, as springs are currently cut, only a coil so hopefully it's not dangerous.
