Shaz does the ke70 run leafs in the back like the rest of the kes?

I would have gone to the kitchen, collected a brown bag, dropped my dacks, pinched off a loaf in said bag, done up dacks, stickytaped bag, placed bag in envelope, and mailed it right to your face for being such a tool.


It's ok, sometimes when we herp, we also derp.

You spelt beer wrong Ben.

Luke - Nah mate. Shock and spring combo. Not macpherson strut setup though. Seperate units. I think the wagons run leaf, but not 100% certain.

Well that makes coilovers a whole lot easier compared to the earlier models ;-)

Yeah converting the front struts to coilovers is well easy. You buy a $250 sleeve kit and weld it on like in that video. That's the route I'll end up going down, if I can't get the front at the right height. Cheap too.

Few more little bits and pieces today.

Flushed the cooling system yesterday. What looked like a caramal latte poured out of my radiator. Gave the radiator a huge high pressure flush, along with the motor. Filled it up with clean water, ran the car, dumped it again, and then filled up with coolant. Temp stays generally around 1/4 and 1/2 now. Replaced thermostat, wire brushed thermostat housing, new radiator cap, etc.

Wired in the front spotlights to find that one of them is blown. Luckily, you can pull it apart and replace the bulb with another, so I'll duck down next week and grab another.

Also started to refurbish all the second hand parts I got. They were filthy after almost 30years worth of grease and oil and crud. Gave the struts a clean, a wirse brush then a sand, followed by lick of black, and the steering arms a nice silver. Going to paint the brake calipers silver too.

Wire wheeled halfway on the right.

Also replaced all the bolts with new bolts.

New Corona lower control arms came yesterday. Has been fitted with a AJPS ball joint and front end bushing kit already. Corona on the left, AE86 on the right. See the slight difference in length? Gives moar cambah.

Also, my wheels arrived. This is wrapped in a 185/55/15, which doesn't look any good IMO, so i've put in an order for some 185/45/15s instead. Failing that, i'll get some 165/50/15s. :) Thanks again to Dan and the team at CarModsAus.

That actually has more stretch than I was expecting.
Love the wheels, they should look great on the car!

I know a few people won't agree with my tyre choice, however, it's just for shots and giggles, and it will look a bit of orright.
