ROLLN'03 Posted June 6, 2006 Report Posted June 6, 2006 OK guys..... Thinking of a new project and after some opinions...... ECUs, wires everywhere, injectors etc..... Great fun, but i miss the ol' skool!....... I want to go back to the good old k series, so easy to work on.... Ive got the 5k engine finally running right, but was just wondering what shell? I was after either a sedan or 2door preferably around the ke30 series..... Possible options are: KE30 sedan - love the looks KE20 2door - Small, Light, Expensive? KE70 - More modern, Decent rear suspension, but to NEW! Possibly build up a hot 4k, or supercharged 5k... COMMENTS PLEASE?....... :faq: Quote
Medicine_Man Posted June 6, 2006 Report Posted June 6, 2006 Go the early shape KE70 I say, They still have the oldschool look to them.. Quote
JiP Posted June 6, 2006 Report Posted June 6, 2006 :faq: -That and there are shitloads around for parts. :D Personally. I'd go KE30. Jon. Quote
ROLLN'03 Posted June 6, 2006 Author Report Posted June 6, 2006 Yeah, its a hard life, all these decisions! :D Would love a carb S/C powered KE20 w/ white wall tyres, venetian and a little sun visor!........ KE70 would be the way of the future, decent suspension (getting away from the rear leafs) tonnes of easier upgrades (ae71/ae86).. How much do the early ke70s weight in at? :faq: Quote
anastasios Posted June 6, 2006 Report Posted June 6, 2006 i would go the ke70, my brother has the late model ke70 and its fun car! Quote
Medicine_Man Posted June 6, 2006 Report Posted June 6, 2006 somewhere around the 900 odd kilo mark i think.. Quote

ROLLN'03 Posted June 7, 2006 Author Report Posted June 7, 2006 yeah, sorry to say it guys, but i really don't like the shapes of those things..... I have 2 mates with em and they are damn ugly!.... :D I was thinking more along the lines of a ke30 2 or 4 door.........! :faq: Quote

ROLLN'03 Posted June 7, 2006 Author Report Posted June 7, 2006 Rolla_Boy.... Yeah, i had one once, which was a donor car for my wagon....The guy had driven it to QLD all the way from WA. (kicks self for wrecking it!) And that 4k was over 300,000 kms, and was flogged in the wagon, thought to be dead, and then revived in my mates ke35 coupe and now he thrashes it..... and i think its only had one oil change!....... :faq: Does anyone have pics of some modified ke30 2 doors?
