Turbo_rolla's Ke70

[turbo_rolla]

very minor update - have adjusted the grill so it sits above the "stone guard" just above the front bumper (ie you can now see the beige strip under the grill like you're supposed to). looks heaps better :P

 

now looking into whether those "headlight surrounds" have a "step down in them, as the lights come back a bit (see pic below). paul, can you shed some light into this. looking at the pics, it looks like there might be. Could you get a pic of them side on perhaps?

 

 

Also wacked up a new vid on youtube of the 4age goin last night. Nice comment from my g/f about the "nice jarring movement there" when i changed gears ;)

you can't see much/anything, but it gives ya an idea of how the engine sounds :y: should be up there shortly

 

Clicky clicky for my 4age in action

Its definitely nothing to do with the visuals. Sounds Tuff!!!!!! ;)

[turbo_rolla]

the camera "girl" is my girlfriend. not the best video to watch cause you don't really see anything other than some lights buzzing past, but if ya shut your eyes you appreciate it more ;)

had a bit of a play around in the boot today to try and make up some kind of "enclosure" for the fuel setup in the back. before i go on, i am aware of the legalities (or lack of) with this current setup, but it will be swapped to an "intank" efi setup eventually (one day soonish mick :yes:)

 

the aim of it mostly was to try and quieten it down, but it hasnt done a huge amount of that yet. But its covered up most of the gear so that's the important thing. Here's a "before pic" of how it was:

 

and this is what it looks like now. gotta put an end panel on it, but you can see i've got foam behind the panels to try and soften the noise, which it has to an extent, but not hugely. got the little "lifter" pump wrapped in 3mm rubber, and there is 6mm rubber glued to the bottom of the "lid". it'll do for now

 

also made a pretty major modification to the rear of the car the other day. should be good for another 20kwatw :D

 

And here's another pic of the twin headlight setup as it is now, with the grill adjusted :yes:

 

oh, also lined up against a dark blue/purple integra today with a couple of guys in it. stumbled off the line and then booted it, and kept in front of them (not by far though - pretty quick little setup they had running) so that was alright. good to hear a couple of n/a's revving hard. had a bit of a chat after and the passenger said he owns a silver ke with a black bonnet. think he might be off here or ae86, cause i know i've seen it on the net. Was good to see some ke70 love being shared around :fuzz:

thanks for the kind words blockman! that integra wasnt slow either though! always good to get a good reaction to the 4age goodness :cool: so were you in the passenger seat or driving it? i think i remember the guy in the passenger seat saying something about having a ke70 (silver with black bonnet??).

 

good to hear it got you thinking about yours though - 4age is the best mod i've done in the car by far and don't regret it at all! i was gonna go for a 5k, and ran the 4k with a weber etc for a bit, but nothing compares to the 4age. if ya need any help or advise or anything with yours, or just up for a cruise sometime let me know (I'm just around where we "faced off". there's everything you need up on here (and www.ke70.com) so check it out and see what ya can dig up. good to see the sticker got ya up on here though!

first of all, YAY for 100 posts in my thread :yes:

 

secondly, making some slow progress on the twin headlight conversion. have been looking into the surrounds still, and found a guy in the phillipines (one who's selling complete setups) who can get them for $150US incl postage. considered this but if i paid that then i would've paid about $400AU for the setup cause the lights and grill cost me $200, which is roughly the price of a "genuine" one to get imported now.

 

Anyway, decided to wander down to u-pull-it this morning to have a look around and see if i could find anything. wasnt looking that promising until i stumbled across some big dihatsu truck/ute thing sitting on the back fence. had twin headlights in it, and little surrounds around the lights. SO, this dihatsu has become my new favourite car for the time being :wink: was a bitch to get them off as the screws had been worn so there was some twisting and bending involved of the brackets (and a couple of little breaks in one of the surround - currently drying with glue), but got them off. did a "trial" fit against my setup and they'll fit nicely. just gotta shorten one of the brackets behind the inner light on each side so it doesnt protude too much, and then make up a little mounting for the parker. so slowly getting there. Oh, best part, is that the two surrounds cost me the grand sum of $5.50!!!!!! :cool:

 

here's the ugly thing i got it off:

 

the unbroken surround (alot shallower than the ones that came with the setup i got):

 

just sitting over the headlights:

 

so I'm gonna see how these go, and if it all looks alright i'll get the details of everything i've used and maybe a small tute on how to do it if people are keen. will wait on the end result first! :hmm:

[Raven]

Hey that looks cool Dan.

 

Can't wait to see the finished product, thats for sure. :wink:

[turbo_rolla]

thanks micko!!!! will have to get paul to do some cut and shut work on the brackets and then it should all sit in place fairly nicely. will give them a paint in black and see what it turns out like. might also do the "black chrome" colour on the cam covers like we were chatting about too, so will see if i can track down some of the paint :wink:

[Raven]

Sounds fully hektik y0. Will have to come past for me to check out the finished product at some point!

[turbo_rolla]

bit of an update..........been stuffing around with the light setup on the front since i did it a few weeks ago. it looks alright but isnt finished, and i can't be stuffed playing around to get the indicators mounted next to it. SO, was on the net last night and jumped onto clubk to visit our kiwi friends and stumbled across these:

 

 

SO, i've managed to get them and the nice guy (Mick) is gonna be sending them over shortly! AND, the best part is that its gonna cost me less than i was gonna pay to get the light surrounds only from phillipines :) Good shit! So will see what sorta custom work has to be done with them, but hopefully i'll have a nice pic up of them on in a few weeks :sob:

[Corolla_Kid]

Thats a ke20 tail light isnt it? and a ke25 as well?
