looking good man.
When do you think it will hit the track??
Hey guys,
Most of this info was pulled from the old forum.
The start:
- Bought a ke70. 1984, sky blue, grandma spec, 4k that doesn't idle
- had rims (sil offset Watanabe) and 86 sus in ther within an hour of buying it
The Plan :
- was gonna go CA18det then stomps86 "convinced" me to go a 4agze, then " may as well turbo it" so there you go
- suspension wise was gonna be sil conversion up front and trd in the back
- driveline w-series gbox and f-series diff
Where I am up to:
- ze is in and has a nice t25g and china s-steal manni hanging off the side
- running stock ecu just until I can get it to tuner to install ems stinger.
- suspension Front [ca hubs, d2 shocks(cheap scd/hnd),tein camber tops], Rear [ TRD blue shocks, trd 6kg springs
-jap t50, for the moment, trd short shifter
- diff is a rare s-series 2 way, will prolly sell it before i thrash it though.
- rims got 2 sets of sportmax
- hydralic h/brake
- custom pwr radiator
- fuel surge tank setup running VL turbo fift and pressure pumps, malpassi fuel reg
- custom dash sproting a full set of auto guage smoke gauges (just for the rice of it all!)
- and a lot of custom goodies yet to be finished.
Things to do:
- wiring
- driveline changed to w box/ f diff and custom tailshaft
- stinger ecu installed
- paint, black and metallic red
the start:
the next day:
Now:
Also g4 hydraulic handbrake fitted, this is the best mounting posi, so easy to go from second to handbrake!!!

thats Stomps (adam) car, it is very sexy and soon to be vmount![]()
**** updates *****
Haven't really done much recently stack with a lot of small issues and getting 1 wrong part that drags everything back, grrrrrr
Got the boot fuel system sorted out with plenty of help from stomps, looks pretty good now. Running a combo of vl turbo lift and pressure pumps and a serl catch can.
Also started on the dash, CBF trying to fit everything into the stock dash, so 1 pice of ally and a set of brand spanking autogauge gauges, kill switch and blue buttons it all looks pretty sweet!!!
surge and pump setup:
Dash setup (mostly wired, damn I hate wiring!):

wow 2 hand breaks lol
yer 2 handbrakes, one for hektic drifto, the other to stop the car rolling down hills![]()
ahhhhhhhhhh, so close to starting the beast but sooo much fiddly shit to finish before we can. ahhhhhh.
- custom cooler piping to be made/installed (for v-mount)
- once thats done I can fit the grex oil filter relocator/cooler and piping
- once thats done i can measure/fit up the turbo oil/waterlines and the fpr
- and then there is wiring the interior and other crap before we can start it and take it to have aftermarket ecu installed
now the issues, god dam dump pipe wont fit!!! wanted hectik separate screemer pipe and id wont fit within the chassis rails DAMN,so need to have that fixed
- wiring is a pain in the ass and cbf
- lots of body work to do, not that i mind coz it is pretty easy just time consuming.
... and the worst thing is that i am 2 weeks down of my 3 weeks annual leave and I have barely touched it!!!!!
just want it finished, need motivation and it is so much easier to look at the car while drinking beer than actually finishing it.
ahhhhhhh
need kind motivational words to get my ass away from watching the 3 2 and a half men series i just got and finish car!

k, got a few things done now:
- FPR fitted, just need fuel filter now and I am done with the fuel system
- got dli fitted with leads
- slowly piecing the car back together, so it actually looks like a car and the front guards dont fall off all the time!!
had a couple of cans of rattle gloss black lying around and wnted to check out what it might look like when painted (and see how many dings were in the doors!!!
doesn't look half bad
still got plenty to do though so when I get back down to perth, I really have to get on with it!
