Thoughts And Opinions Please Ke17

[camorinta]

Well.. I'm getting back into working on the car after some 'laziness' on my behalf.

 

The car is a KE17 with a 5K and a 5speed.. and now for the questions...

 

 

- The front setup... I have a whiteline swaybar that I need to put in but the question is

should I be doing the KE20 springs (cut) without the front leaf or just putting the sway bar in

and getting the leaf re-set.. How stiff are the KE20 springs? I have read about it but don't want to wreck the ride comfort.

With that said i do want to lower the front at least 2 inches.

 

- Diff.. now that it has a 5k and 5 speed.. first gear seems like its from a truck lol .. great accel but wouldnt mind a different

diff ratio and possibly a LSD? What fits? lol without any major work?

 

- Center console.. Can anyone help me find this 'Toyota Crown' clock that fits the previous shift hole perfectly?

 

- Venetians? Do they have to be custom made? Because i havent found any for it yet..

 

- And finally .. should i put fender mirrors on? just wondering what rollaclub people think.. :D

 

Thanks for the help..

I can't answer most of your questions... however... these two...

 

venetians - probably custom made, but give the guys at www.autocables.com.au a call.. i am sure they can organise something for you

 

fender mirrors - the right mirrors would look great. parrot's ke15 looks great with them -

Hmm, I had forgotten what it looked like...... Yes, those are the factory fender mirrors.

 

They did also come out in Japan with the cone style fender mirrors, i.e. the ones that everyone puts on TE27's and TA22's. Although you would need to be careful to get the correct ones with respect to angles and attachments and so on.

 

I have a picture of these mirrors in one of my JDM brochures.
