Blew my old KE70's engine up so i bought this new one. comp tested it before buying to make sure it was ok pulled 170,170,170,170
Had some rear damage when i bought it and came with a spare rear qtr and was pretty much stock (wouldnt start with a key and looked to have been left outside for at least a year in the dandenongs)
So first thing i did was clean the crap out of it and remove the million leaves that were in all the cracks.
We then replaced the rear qtr and ive fixed all the wiring issues (stripped my old ke and swapped looms and all plugs across) I then stripped the extractors, exhaust, front lower control arms, knuckles, steering arms, suspension and swapped it over, we put in some Peugot rear struts and AU ford rear springs (fronts are corona struts, brakes, lca's). This time i wrapped the extractors in heat wrap to try and seperate alittle heat from the intake (as it sits on the extractors. Purchased some new fender mirrors and some Work 14x6.5 +20? wheels fitted some 165/65/14's to them and had my brother modify the guards to fit them.
You might notice that the front end has alot of camber well we run Primal Garage and at Primal we like to do things ourselves so we modded up the lca to be 43mm longer, lengthened the steering arms 40mm, and modified the corona knuckles for more lock. So now i have so much lock its rediculas to drift with. before i could only hold a shallow drift before hitting the limits of lock now i can easily pull off 90degree slides, the car is now so much fun to drive.
