benzo Posted February 14, 2009 Author Report Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) Located in Adelaide :P It does need the rear guards rolled a tiny bit more, theres about 2mm clearance between guards and rear tyres atm lol Been driving it for the past 2 days and loving the thing although I have found out I need a diff but no real biggie which poses the question, can I just put a T-series diff in with the 4k for now? will need a t-series diff with planned engine anyway... ah yeer and its my bday today been drinking all day haha yew lovin it Cheers, Ben.

nickyboy Posted February 14, 2009 Report Posted February 14, 2009 happy birthday Benjamin :P what wrong with the diff at the moment? Quote
benzo Posted February 15, 2009 Author Report Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) Haha cheers Nick I still a little hungover, even after working from 9am-2pm lol Well the problem was supposedly the rear right wheel bearing, but yesterday I had a good look and sussed it out. Me and the old man reckon its the actual diff Just makes a not so great noise while driving oh and rhs rear guard fixed with just a little bit of hammer love Cheers, Ben.

benzo Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Posted February 17, 2009 picked up an AE86 Cusco strut brace yesterday, and its about 6mm too short gah it is an adjustable item, and I have the bar on the very end of both threads without it falling out. Still need to get another 5+mm Is there a trick to getting it on Cheers, Ben. Quote
smeetsy1 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 more pics of car or i don't believe you! :wink: Quote
benzo Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Posted February 17, 2009 haha will get some tomorrow, my nannas coming over, I'll get her to bring her camera. Cheers, Ben. Quote
benzo Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Posted February 19, 2009 Strut brace has no way of fitting, either gonna sell it or swap for another cusco one. what section of the front guards do you guys cut to get clearence for wide neg offset rims, having a look where the scrub its the bottom 6inches or so in front of the wheel? also what mods need to be done to fit jdm quads and grille? may have a bride fixed back and front coil overs lined up.. oh and still no pics gah Cheers, Ben.

smeetsy1 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 when's your grandma coming over? Quote
benzo Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Posted February 19, 2009 Came over yesterday but forgot camera, because she is old and forgetful lol Will remind her to bring it Sunday :D Cheers, Ben. Quote
LukeAE71 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 MMM I Like..... this would go well next to my beige wagon I pick up tomorrow morning. Said it before and I will say it again, beige hearts KE70 :D Quote
benzo Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Posted February 20, 2009 Haha yeah like I said last time I saw you Luke I love my beige KE70's, my old one was the same colour RIP What you got planned for your wags? immediate plans for the 70 at the moment are: - fit up my chrome t18 bumpers (need t18 rear bumper brackets) - fit jdm quadlights and grille - fender mirrors - fit bride fixed back seat - ae86 coilovers, 8kg spring rate, camber tops - 6kg rear springs - and the wheels will be replaced... Cheers, Ben. Quote
