craigs busted ass SR KE

[cooter]

well my blue ke has been sitting for ages after getting stickered n stripping it to build my 86. i came across a mate selling his stickered sr ke for cheap so thought stuff it n bought it.

was a really crap build and essentially just a ke with an s14 sr tech screwed in. nearly standard everything apart from an F series. in his defense he didnt build it haha

plans were to take the diff out and sell the car on but it was in poor condition and i couldnt bare to sell something so rough.

its been sitting in my front yard for 2 months but ive been off work with a broken collar bone so figured id just mash the two together. albeit a bit better built and some better parts

dash and wiring done



radiator mounted, fmic mounted, front end mock install. it all fits




so thats about where im at. i have to roll the shell up the driveway where i can take the crossmember and diff out before it can be sent to scrap.

I'm surprised I've never seen your 86 around Perth mate! Not like you can miss it! Love the colour! The SR KE is looking rad! Keen to see it rip at barbs!

[cooter]

Haha yea I live in the hills n I'm a bit of a hermit. Plus I always stress about taking it down the hill cause of defect. It's sees the occasional trip to innaloo to see the girly but Haha. I missed the last 86 meet cause i was at work. N yea lookin forward to getting the ke finished. Should be a bit of fun at barbs.

Crossmember and front susp out of the donor today. Did a lil more on the fuel system too.

i also managed to get a sparco sprint seat, dish steering wheel with boss and a set of teins with trd shocks in them. Should be good

[cooter]

well it appears i have an E series not an F series like i first thought. rippin

[cooter]

got a bit of crap done today

the motor and box are in and bolted up and mostly wired in. steering rack has been refurbed with new boots, ends and a lock spacer. te71 fuel tank and surge tank nearly finished

a pair of teins with camber tops and trd yellows. unsure of the spring rates but they feel pretty damn stiff ( maybe too stiff)



full front bush kit



sparco sprint fixed back with new omp 4 pt harnesses



ive got some xt130 lcas coming plus rda slotted and dimpled front rotors to suit jdm brakes
