KETURBO25

Hit a bit of a snag trying to get the front struts out of the KE70, so i could only lower the rear today and ill do the rest tomorrow. Ive put some pics up, i didnt want to go too crazy on the rear its just enough to take away that 80's jacked up look. Pretty obvious difference there...

f@$k yeah ryan, I'm quite keen man, you know if your prepared to help dude ill make it worth your while. Might have to get a taxi to my house and back that day lol. :lolcry:

Well thats a coinsedance, ive just come inside after putting lowered king springs in the rear of the 70 to check my emails to find that someone else wants to see it dumped aswell. Still got the front to do but it will be done hopefully in the next hour. (Flat black would be sick-shouldve been a factory colour)

Yeah i know man your probably right, but the plan is to have this one as my daily and drive the KE25 Turbo on weekends, but I'm sure if i get the paint right and it looks good that could all change.

Your KE70's sick man, i love the paint. But to be honest if i did that to my car in Adelaide id be surprised if i made it to the local shop without collecting a new addition to the windscreen in the form of a defect sticker. Pretty much, Adelaide = the defect state.

Yeah mate I'm keen for doors, ive even put a thread up in the wanted parts section requesting some, about the tailshaft, i thought they would be the same i just wanted to know for sure. thanks very much for the info.

Just thought id throw a few more pics up of the rust in the car, ive never really done body work on a car with rust this bad so its gonna be an 'interesting' result I'm sure. I'm just gonna get some doors that are in better condition then these ones but the rest I'm gonna have to do something about ASAP.

I hate driving autos, so much so that ive decided to convert this one. Ive been told that its fairly easy to do, ive got a K50 5 speed gearbox to go into it and the manual pedal box aswell, so far ive put the pedal box in and I'm getting ready to do the conversion, I'm just waiting to get a heavy duty clutch and the flywheel machined. Pretty sure the only thing I'm gonna need is the manual tailshaft and cross member, But are the 4 speed and 5 speed tailshafts the same? i would imagine they are but I'm not sure, let me know if youve done this before. :lolcry: Changing the pedal box is very awkward and time consuming thing to do (probably the hardest part of the conversion) i used this guide by Rolla Club member 'Altezzaclub' to help locate all the bolt holes and yada yada, and i got it done in about 3 hours. very helpful. http://www.ke70.com/forum/index.php?showto...ed&pid=9479

Just picked up this ke70 for cheap a few days ago, the motor in it is good runs really well but its a auto. the body has rust in the boot and around the fuel cap (its pretty bad). the interior is surprisingly clean Not really planning to go too nuts with this car, I'm just gonna lower it and paint it, and mabye some wheels. I bought it from Just Wrecking Toyotas on the cnr of South Tce and South Rd in Wingfield. The guy said it was lucky i called when i did because the car was about 10 minutes away from being completely wrecked, the guys had allready gone out and marked all the parts with a texta which i now have to clean off, lol.

Nice car man, k motors would have to be up there as being one of the most resiliant around, when i was younger they were the burnout car of choice for a lot of people, no wonder why really, they just don't wanna die.

LOOKING GOOD MAN, ONE THING YOU don't DO IS f@$k AROUND. :hmm:

Yeah that would be sick, I'm sure theyre not cheap either though? :jamie:

Wiggle and pull the wheel, the nut left on will keep it flying off and smashing you in the face. Yeah thats good advice, my mate recently decided that it wouldnt happen to him, 2 hours later he was released from the Royal Adelaide hospital after the steering wheel smashed his nose flat and broke it. lololol :jamie:

Thinking pretty seriously about getting a trueno tail light setup for this soon, last time i looked on ebay i nearly fell over, over $1000! Does anyone know where i might find a set a little cheaper??

to be honest mate ive only driven the car once since ive owned it and that was after the motor was rebuilt, Ive lost my licence for three years so thats why. my dads got a VESS commodore and i reckon the rolla would eat it, she moves.

Yeah sorry mate, but SLO is right, the guy who sold the car to the car yard wasnt the original owner or builder, and from what i heard he was the dick head that blew the thing up to start with, but thats just what i heard...

Cars been great mate, took it for a boot yesterday, its goes very good, put it that way, lol.

Ryan, sorry mate i ran out of credit and i couldnt get back to ya the other day man, come around when you've got some spare time, picked up a clean as vh commodore, I'm lookin to do a v6 conversion so if you or anyone else knows where i might get a written off vp or vr let me know, thanks buddy. :yes:

Looks goos dude, go hard as f@$k too I'm sure. would be nice to see some more pics of the motor though.

I just watched the incar footage on my big screen TV and i got scared from my bedroom, truly nuts.

Wow sooo lucky! id hate to think what that bad boys worth, its getting to the stage with the overrated ones that the only way you'll get one is with a blank cheque.

Theyre so hard to get these days, even if you do get one theyre worth more then ill ever be able to afford. I might lable my car as the poor mans xu1. (like really poor.....)
