Matt's Ke70 Project Daily

Thought i might aswell post up a thread for my rolla,

 

Basicly I'm buliding this thing to be an allrounder car that i can drive everyday but i also want it to skid.

 

anyways i bought it in march stock as a rock

 

 

then i did some cheap suspension stuff cut commodore springs in the front and cut falcons in the back and got some cheap wheels for it.

 

the paint on it was pretty crappy so on one sunday afternoon we started priming it, without realising how big the job actuly was haha, so then it came off the road for a bit to get a make over

 

it handeled ok but needed some decent shocks so i upgraded the front properly

 

The front now has

Ae86 Struts and brakes

Koni Yellow Shocks

7ish Kg springs

Lock Spacers

Sigma arms (gave lots of understeer so they are being replaced with ke55 ones most likley)

Power Steering Arms

30mm RCAs

Camber Tops

 

and some hot wheels up front

14x8-12 SSR forumla Mesh :dance:

 

 

I was itching to drive her with the new setup so i rushed alot of things to get her on the road and take her on skidpan.

I snapped one of the clutch cable mounts on my first run so a ghetto fix was required for her to see the rest of the night

 

The clutch cable is tied to the radiator mount to keep tension, worked well

 

The motor was getting a bit tired, blowing alot of smoke and a major oil leak , but she went well untill the next morning on the way to work.

conrod through the block, I laughed for a while untill i realised i can't drive it untill i do more work to it :no2:

 

 

 

 

 

And THis is how the car looks now

 

 

alot more work to be done, but she is getting there

 

cheers

Looking good mate. I'm personally not a fan of the 'bigger wheels up front' look, but yeah, looks good.

 

I see that your front bumper is higher on the drivers side. Mine was like that as well, didn't know why, but it's gone now. :no2:

ill be getting a matchin pair for the back sooner or latter, just don't have the money

 

and they wont sit so far outside the guards with shorted LCAs so wont look so bad

 

and the bumper is weird, duno why, wil just redrll the mounts to suit oneday

yeah i to don't really like that look but every person has their own opinion

but that aside you have done a fair bit of work and what you have done is going good

how long has this build taken so far :hmm:

[overgrown]

i got it registered in may this year, and since then, so about 3-4 months so far,

and for most of that time i was driving it, and only had 6 hours a week to work on it due to all my sport, uni and work commitments so I'm happy where it is at atm

paint wont happen for a bit probably, more interested in getting the conversion happening after i get back from india.

 

the wheels do look silly but they steer so much better than the other wheels i have for the front

might have to check this old girl out sometime, i will race ya 4k vs 4agze :sob:
