7FOUR7 Posted December 2, 2010 Report Posted December 2, 2010 thanks for reply Nobbler, what wheel bearings are used? Quote
KEI069 Posted December 2, 2010 Author Report Posted December 2, 2010 Sorry guys havent been on here for bit. My struts are still Ke10 but the hubs are Ke20 with standard Ke20 bearings, backing plates are Ke30 as are the discs, all just bolts on with little fuss as The Nobbler said and Ke30 brake hoses will work too. The gilmer drive would have been good but with the blower drive i have NO room between the pulleys and radiator I'm hoping to get some work done over the coming weeks Quote
HIGH ROLLER Posted December 2, 2010 Report Posted December 2, 2010 WTF! I can't believe how awesome this car is… I saw the name "ke10 called peaches", and thought PFFT ghey (don't bash me, just being honest) now I look in this thread and i'm like WAAATTT! awesome ride champ, keep up the awesome work.

KEI069 Posted December 28, 2011 Author Report Posted December 28, 2011 Man i can't believe its been 1 year since my last update and this thing is still not running. there has been a little progress and i will get a few photos up soon. The little things always seem to take the longest time, like custom accelerator cables, fuel lines, brackets and what not, and trying to find parts like thermostat lower housings and heater taps Atleast I'm making progress and hope to have it running in the next couple of months Hope everyone has a good New Years Cheers Justin Quote
Jono.C Posted September 23, 2012 Report Posted September 23, 2012 Any progress on this thing!? :D Quote
ninja-philbo Posted September 23, 2012 Report Posted September 23, 2012 yeah whats happened to this? Quote
KEI069 Posted September 23, 2012 Author Report Posted September 23, 2012 Well, time flies when you're having fun. This little rig is almost ready for the road, The engine got run in on the dyno about 2 months ago then tuned for reliability . It made 116 hp at the tyres @ 6000 rpm on 8 psi boost. The blower is running a 1 - 1 drive, I have only driven it once and man it pulls hard. I'm hopeful it will be ready for reg in a month or two I would put up pics but I only have an I pad and can't figure out how it all works. Cheers Justin Quote
ninja-philbo Posted September 23, 2012 Report Posted September 23, 2012 Can't wait to see vids of her running Quote
KEI069 Posted April 28, 2013 Author Report Posted April 28, 2013 Well she's been registered for about a month now, and man it's a blast to drive. Reckon I've been across mount dandenong at least 3 times already. Quote
KEI069 Posted April 28, 2013 Author Report Posted April 28, 2013 Oh and I will add this pic of the front sway bar as there has been a bit of discussion about them Lately, So I cold pressed the last bend inward about 15 mm each side for caliper clearance And made all my own mounting and link attachments. It's a whtieline bar by the way. Cheers Justin Quote
Taz_Rx Posted April 28, 2013 Report Posted April 28, 2013 Was wondering when we might see an update on this thing. Would love to see some pics of the completed engine bay? Quote
josh247 Posted April 28, 2013 Report Posted April 28, 2013 She's beautiful. Any pics of the completed engine bay? cheers Quote
KEI069 Posted April 28, 2013 Author Report Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) Well it just so happens Edited April 28, 2013 by KEI069 Quote
Redwarf Posted April 28, 2013 Report Posted April 28, 2013 Saw this thing in the flesh at Christmas time. Pics do NOT do it justice. So many little details so nicely done. Quote
