Ke70 Build Thread

[stable20]

finally decided to pull my finger out and get started on the daily ke70.

my meantime plans for the ksev.

 

1. remove boot well (spare tire well) and have it all flat.

2. respray inside the boot.

3. install an alarm and central locking system.

4. install sound system

5. remove carpet (cause its F#@ked) and maybe remove the sound deadening and replace it with stone guard.

6. sand and bog ALL dings and prep body work.

7. prime all bog patches and prepare the whole body for primer, ill probably use acrylic body filler.

8. hopefully along the way through this grueling process can afford quad light conversion chrome bars new lights and accessories, and all the suspension needs to set up for drifting.

 

i will get more in depth of the build once the photos start coming.

 

so here goes the build

 

time to steal the miss's camera hahaha.

Where ya gonna put the spare? :blinks:

[stable20]

who needs a spare :/

knowing my luck ill blow a tire and be sitting thinking "f@$kk shouldve listened to blzbubb666"

[B.L.Z.BUB]

Ha, just carry a can of that puncture fix. That stuff is magic. This reminds me, I must pump my one up.

[stable20]

hahaha, wow your ke has come along, i have not seen it in a while.

 

wasnt it matte black on jelly beans?

[B.L.Z.BUB]

yeah, still matte black but got some globes and now running ae-teks. Slowly working on it.

[BUZ440]

Reed tyre pump in a can will suffice, EVO X's have them standard, i have one in mine, rattles around

 

Why did you cut the rear tyre well mind me asking?

[mhmills]

Isn't it a roadworthy issue not carrying a spare tyre aboard your vehicle? Fair enough if it was a track car but I read "daily" somewhere... Just my 2 cents.

 

Cheers, Jake.

[stable20]

metal ready to be picked up :)

 

well it is going to be partially track car sometime through out the end of the year start of next hopefully,

 

well i never carry a spare tire, took it out from the day i got it so i thought i would get rid of it, more room for surge tank, sub box, fuel tank etc.

 

roadworthy is not a problem :)

thats the ticket haha.

[Onikage]

Flat boot interior, you going for a show style audio setup?

 

And afaik, you do not have to carry a spare tyre, but if you do, it must have a roadworthy amount of tread on it, or it could be defectable.

[stable20]

nope just a clean setup, never used the spare so thought i would get rid of the massive hole.

 

well today everything is finished just waiting on fuel tank to dry (gun metal grey) then all goes back together.

 

still have partial bits of the boot to spray, pics shall be up tonight hopefully

[stable20]

so the boot is done.

 

went out for a strap last night with 1 ke70 1 ae71 and my ke70. sexiest photo iv ever seen :P
