barnzys ke70 - Daily/Drifter
Hey everyone,
Well after finding this ke70 for sale, I decided i would sell the old blue bus with the slant front to make way for this one with the flat front. (Will miss the old blue one as she did look the part).
This is the build of the new KE70 which i picked up today to start getting ready for some sliding action hopefully! Not 100% sure to what i want to do with her yet with the engine but there are a few engines in my mind, it is just a matter of doing research and checking which way i want to go and also which would suit what i need the car for.
This thread will go from start to finish of the KE70 so keep a check on the thread and you will see the progress with many pictures to come!
Anyway enough talk and some pictures of the new bus as it looked today from when i picked it up...

Will post pictures up tomorrow of the car as it sits after the suspension mods made yesterday! Also the chrome bumper attached to the front of the car, still have to do the rear...
Also welded the diff yesterday just for a bit of fun while I get the SR20 ready to drop into it. Then get a T series diff with LSD inside
sounds bloody brilliant, better have a strong lsd to handle an sr20det
t series will hate even minute of the sr20....best off speaking to kieran and aaron about something slightly stronger...e or f series for sure
Haha there is still a lot of research before i go ahead with it! Just a few option that i have been told to go!!!
i like the colour of that car ay. looks pretty clean. should look good with the quad conversion
Update: Ksev got her new shoes, suspension, and a welded diff last weekend... Just need to get some smaller tyres put on the rear wheels and a slight flair happening then cut another coil out of the rear springs =]
Also need to adjust the front bumper, have just used the standard holes and mounts - Didn't realise till after it was fitted you need to mod if a lil bit!
Pictures:
looks much better now! refit bumper?
Just need to re-drill the holes in the brakets for the bumper so it sits flush and also use something to make it sit flat, not tilted up to the sky! HAHA
Sick!
