Not a AE86 but a KE70 with a 4age + ITB's - Total rebuild!:)

Yep... That's the one...
This one is the one I recognize from the london underground... In Holland we have different grips, more like leather straps.

Well, I havent done loads but I like to just update!

had the day off yesterday so while I am waiting for my loom to come, I messed with a few things that needed doing.

First off.....

The early KE70 dont share the same top mounts with a KE so this made me unable to fit my AE86 strut brace.

But I decided that I would just zip of the offending hole with a hacksaw and just mount it on 2 points each side. i have seen this done before so though, it would be ok!

after a lick of paint and a bit of a file on the edges....





Also fitted the std Dizzy and Coil pack. Luckly there was alread two perfect holes for me to bolt down the coil.




Also fitted my 14x7 supra wheels up front to see if they were better for clearence that my 14x8 Equips.... they were!

Supras...



Works...




After fitting the front end back on with the JDM lights, I was never happy with the fit so I decided to take the whole lot back off.

This was to do two things.

1. make it all fit neat and shit

2. Take car of any small scabs etc on the panels to stop any rust ever spreading in the future.

There by no meens bad but we all knowhow these old Toyotas like to rust away before our eyes!

finshed!


Also fitted the backing plate on the front of the engine behind the cam gears as the new loom will be running behind it!



all I have left to do really is wiring the loom back up when it gets here.

other than that its sorting all the suspension out and getting the right ride hight as currently the sills are 3 inches from the floor!. And I need to roll the arches but these are problems I will sort out when its on the road!


cheers

i made my own strut plates for my te72 wagon using the AE pattern minus the third hole. great minds do think alike

[banpei]

Is that the only difference, or are the struts itself different from the AE86 ones?

[tetsujin]

I was sick of the std arches fouling the 14x8j rims at the back so I thought it was time to take action!

Big tools in hand:

1x house brick wrapped in a towel

1x pair of pliers

1x big frick off hammer


i do own a propper arch roller BUT as my car is gay, the arch roller will no go small enough for my tiy arch wells so it useless for me!


Anyway

set about and started off with this....


As you can see, it dont fit, and 14x8j -8 are not bolt on for the KE but....


a bit of tap tap tap, and pull pull pull produced....




I used pliers to start the flare off in the direction I wanted the flat part of the lip to go. Worked prety good.

looked good but was still not cutting it for clearence. Sure it would of been ok if I mad it a bit higher but once you go this deep, there is no urning back!

so, I found a bigger, better hammer, and really went for it...






I know its not pretty and some of it looks a little 'dented' but thats what filler is for.

[Bubble_Drift]

Dude...why would you pull it like that?

Just take a piece of pipe (i used a wrech extansion) and roll it between the tire and fender.
Then go back and forth to have a perfect roll with just enought mm for the tire not to rub anything.

Wheels look hot. What happend to the ITB's?

[tetsujin]

haha.

Dont worry dude, the arches WILL come out ok
(I hope hahaha!)

and the ITB's had to go to make way for stupid wheels and also the fact it was costing me too much cash so they were easy money to sell.

Plus I might be going 13b rotary next year or 4agze

[JonnyAE86]

tetsujin how about some flares? (check my commercial sales aero parts) you can cheat a little bit and place them higher, cutting off excess fender underneath.
