Des Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 Whats the ke70 like at daily driving with the welded centre ? Quote
driftke70 Posted March 15, 2007 Author Report Posted March 15, 2007 i got used to it pretty quick, turning circle is a bit worse and you get a few looks in car parks, but other than that is wonderful, taking into account, i have a twitchy left foot. Quote
Des Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 Ive contemplated welding my 4.3 centre but i don't want massive understeer. Quote
Trev Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 (edited) The pic of the motor and box looks sweet. can't wait till i get mine together. Edited March 16, 2007 by Trev Quote
driftke70 Posted March 16, 2007 Author Report Posted March 16, 2007 Ive contemplated welding my 4.3 centre but i don't want massive understeer. haha you mean massive oversteer. locking the diff is essential for me, well at least till i sell my other car and go wild with all the other gear like the 2 way and that jazz. Its just too dangerous too slide with an open centre, ive gone locked and have not regretted it at all. EVER Quote

Its just too dangerous too slide with an open centre, ive gone locked and have not regretted it at all. EVER No, It will get understeer when you turn sharply due to both front wheels having the same force but thats when u fan the clutch and give it some over. Quote
driftke70 Posted March 16, 2007 Author Report Posted March 16, 2007 unless you are going walking speed and then decide you want to go full lock and full accel at the same time you wont get under steer, trust me. People always winge about it but ive never got it, even in the wet. Quote
driftke70 Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Posted March 18, 2007 ps ive driven with a locker in a ke70 on the street for almost a year. every day, every night, rain hail or shine. Quote
turbo_rolla Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 Looking good mate! i've got a beige ke70 w/ jdm 4age too and they're awesome, so no doubt you're having a bit of fun in this thing! Very nice ride! oh, on the chance of sounding pretty stupid, whats "keto" mean? :D Quote
Josho Posted March 24, 2007 Report Posted March 24, 2007 This and Gillys car are setting the standard for 'sevs everywhere, hahah. on the chance of sounding pretty stupid, whats "keto" mean? :D KE70 = Keto Sort of a translation from a geekspeak form. Well, thats what I thought it up as a few years ago :fuzz: Quote
turbo_rolla Posted March 24, 2007 Report Posted March 24, 2007 thought that might be the case! thanks for the enlightenment Josho :D read through the full other thread (for your old one where you've started writing bout this one?) you got going driftke70 and its awesome! love your car, and the one your "basing" yours on is the same as what I'm basing mine on :fuzz: awesome work mate!

LittleRedSpirit Posted March 25, 2007 Report Posted March 25, 2007 Very nice car mate, will be a weapon. Had any axle dramas with the locked diff? Quote
