Max Haggard's KE70's - Track Vs Street

[maxhag]

Ok, Every story has to start somewhere.
Just bought my first 2 KE70's. Both rust free..... Both cars have all original booklets/manuals, service reciepts, sale receipts etc... Have the full life history of both cars.....

Red one (Kevo) is an 1981 flat front 'XX' edition. Factory 5 speed, Air con, Tacho Dash, Rust free, but windscreen is smashed (baseball bat attack)


The White one (Stu) is an 1984 slant front, rust free. Got it with no motor or box, rust free..


The plan for the 2 rollas are to have one as street registered and the other one a hillclimb/track car....


It begins here

The white one, which is good, but just not as 'tidy' as the red one, so it will be the Track/Hillclimb/Motorsport car. In the shed, I have a few motors lying about the place (as you do). So one of these motors will go in this car. One is a JDM Bigport (3 rib) 4AGE, and the other is a 4AGZE (7 rib), but I dont have any of the supercharger stuff, not that I would want a supercharged setup anyway.
I like the idea of having a carby'd 4AGE, but it's hard to also look past bolting a turbo up to the GZE motor, as I already have alot of the parts needed, and I am quite happy with the power I get from the 4AGTE I have in my AE86, for how easy they are to setup.

Early days yet......


The Red one will be road registered. It is quite a tidy shell, and is complete, apart from the smashed windscreen. Just gotta get a new dizzy rotor cap this week, and I will try starting up the old 4K. Hoping it will start and the motor in drivable condish, no smoke, clutch ok etc.... If all is ok, I will get it registered, and drive it around for a while as a daily, until I decide on a motor for it.
I had a look underneath the front, and there were NO oil leaks to be seen (suprised) and it has had new bushes in the front steering (red? Pedders?). The steering rack in it is fucked though. But that's not a problem, as I've just taken a good KE70 rack out of Sloths (Craig) KE70 which I am currently doing a conversion on aswell. That will be bolted in soon enough. I have an XT130 corona, which I am going to start stripping. The XT130 front suspension (struts, LCA's, brakes, steering arms) will go in as a starting base for this cars upgrades...


Hmmmm, it looks like I am going to have to name these two, calling them 'red one' and 'white one' doesn't satisfy me

Can't wait to get some Team E7 drift going!
