My First Project

[Ke ping it reals wifey]

So in true tradition, one car is not enough for us. My cousin is selling his T18 and I have decided to buy it.

 

I have included some pictures which you may have seen before on Andrew's threads. I would like to know what you guys think I can to do make this car hot without spending too much money :dance: Looks like we won't have to spend any money on the body as it's in great nick and no rust is visible. The only problem right at the moment is that the drivers seat is broken and need re welind or something.

 

Anywho, your feedback good or bad is appreciated!!!

 

Cheers

Drivers seat: broken rear seat rail or broken ratchet on the reclining mechanism?

Not 100% sure as she hasn't actually taken delivery of it yet

 

When we pick it up i'll get her to post some more pics

 

The one thing hers has that mine doesn't is a sunroof :dance:

Yep and that makes mine soooooooo much cooler (literally) than the KE35. Also makes it more likely to get rust I believe?! :blush:

Definitely more chance of rust, water can settle around the seals, or worse, it can leak. Having said that, the only part of my project ("lazarust") that isn't rusted is the roof!

You could do that?

 

4agze should bolt up like the ae86's.

+1 for 4A conversion or you could turbo the 3t...

Those ideas have got my vote aswell

That Blue T18 is awesome

+1 for 4A conversion or you could turbo the 3t...

 

+1 for 3ttc!! :blush:

 

3tgte manifold and turbos bolts straight onto the 3t head! :dance: Then into a blow through weber.

[Ke ping it reals wifey]

Turbo the 3t might be the way to go seeing as I don't want to spend too much money on it. Does anyone know the possible power output of the 3ttc?

 

Love the blue colour of the T18 you guys posted and am thinking mine might be purple and leave the Blue for hubby and the KE35. :dance:

 

Might see how the 4AGTE goes in the KE35 before I make a decision but I would also love to see more pics of anyone's T18'S. Hopefully I can pick it up soon and come on the next cruise.......

This car sounds like its going to make an awesome project car, wish i had my black licence.... :sob:

 

paint it paint makes cars look brand new :wink:

[Ke ping it reals wifey]

Thank you!!! Now I just need to decide what I am going to do with the engine.

 

By the looks of your car, you can give me some pointers on the stereo system to put in? Basically loads of bas and loud works for me :sob:

[trav_555]

yesss.. if you want to go really good loud clear thats not that expensive then go clarion all the way, my subs are sonys and they go good but i need a bigger amp, get a mono amp and make sure you line your rear speakers up at ear level i can show you when i come down to look at your husbands engine :sob:

 

my speakers are clarion and i only have 2 and they beat my mates 4 mtx 6 inches. i only have 2 clarion 6 inches.

 

ill show you more when i go down :wink:

 

see ya, Travis

i had a single 12inch fusion sub in my ke30. with a fusion amp two channel bridged and it sounded like crap.

 

I thought it was because it sorta is a seal boot in the ke's. So can one sub sound good in a ke ?

 

Sorry for the offtopic :dance:

 

Where are you guys from ke ping it real and wifey? lithgow?

[trav_555]

i have 2 subs in my ke70, id say it sounded crap because the sub is worth about 15 bucks (I'm not payin you out or anything mine arnt that expensive) but yeah if you put a clarion ported sub in the back and have the sub facing the back of the car it will be sooo goood, will be loud outside the car and you know that add with the 200 killerwasps thing yea well you hear 200 killerwasps lol. but sounds awesome in the car!! no distortion if you pack your boot with expandable foam like me :sob:

 

see ya, Travis.
