KE70 over rated or under rated

[driftke70]

86's are fun because they always come in as the under dog and win. The ke to me is just more of an under dog than the spoontang

i honestly think adm sprinters arnt anything even remotely special and are by no means a collectors car, a classic or anything. Its like saying my pulsar is tits and a cult car and hella cool and fast cause gtir's exist. JDM levins and moreso truenos are classic cars and always will be. But adm sprinters are crap. I personally rather have a ke70 than a adm sprinter. Fair enough you can put jdm gear on it, but then its a replica isnt it.

I could either have a 4age ke70 thats well on its way to being a capable drifter, or a dead stock rusted out adm sprinter in my driveway with a 4ac that leaks oil. AND STILL PAY MORE MONEY

^^ hahaha amen

Yeah, i havnt read every post but i agree with that v-tec has said, I hate it how people think of them as a disposable car, that is because the ones they usually get a full of rust and they didnt own them they would be at the wreckers. But there is a small army of respectable ke's getting around today, and i think done up right they can look hotter than any 86 could ever look, and perform just as good.

Although saying that they are over rated in stock form yet underated modified.

I'd say they're over rated in the AE/KE demographic and underrated out side it.

I'm getting a 5speed ke70 with only 75,000k's for free soon, so nerr!

Then I'll have a ke70 and an ae86

I own 2 ke70's and an ae71 spirit, all of which i've picked up for a total of under 1k.

Rthy: 70's started in 1982.

HOTTer.... or not

imo anything adm never really done it for me...

[jono86]

i thought ke70's started in 1980...... i may be wrong but im pretty sure iv seen 1980 on the build plates when i wehn i was looking for one.

[v-tec]

couldnt have said that better

rthy, not sure if i understand the last statement (it could very well be quite the opposite), but if your saying that theres no way that ke looks hotter than a ae86 i agree with you. If i saw a sprinter like that i would say, 'hey a sprinter, ok moving on'

*E7*'s as well as ae86's need lots of -offset, wide wheels (still within taste [no 17's ]) and have a lower centre of gravity to look hot anyway, like most sports cars

[attachment=10509:attachment]

My car has subtle amounts of these things, for it to be 'hot', as it were, i would say it would have to be alot wider and a hell of alot cleaner

[driftke70]

mines an 81 model but definately needs more - offset wheels and a little bit lower and she will look tough as.

Mine in its former humble beginings and what im aiming for.
