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

[tetsujin]

Hi folks,

Ok, here is my 4age > KE70 project in full swing but some of you may of seen it over at DW etc, so I wont bore you and everything with all the details, just a quick look to where I am at now!

Bought car last year, one owner, 25k on the clock and in great condition for age, I have owned a few AE86's here and there but really couldnt decide on what type I like and I also wanted an older car but I loved the 4age so bought a KE for an all-round mix!




stripped it down




cleaned up the underside



rust proofed it so it wouldnt rust away.



added a AE86 Zenki drum axel and TRD 2way along with TRD Blue 8way adj shocks and poly bushes all round



Had to fit an AE70 pedal box as the KE (K series engines) use the k40/50 gearbox and it is cable operated clutch but the 4age and T50 box from a AE86 is hydrolic so the clutch pedal neads changing and a clutch master cylinder needed putting in.

hole to right for Clutch M/S



prepped engine bay for painting, and cut out battery tray for a tidy look




add melted chocolate!




add 4age.
from this...


to this...

all new head seals, skimmed and new gasket throughout engine.


fit in painted bay...


cleaned and zinc plated alot of parts too....


fit on new T3 front coilover kit, TRD front ARB (rear to be added once brackets made), T3 NRCA's, T3 top mounts, Battle version increased steering lock kit 2,



get the thing rolling...






build up the rest of the front end....





clean shed!


thats where I am up to as of today, the rest to still do....


o Fit in AE86 fuel tank and fuel lines, not a straight bolt in as filler neck need to be modified.

o get a custom rad made, ae86 one looks to shitty fit for my liking!

o add exhaust and manifold and quite a few other fiddly jobs like bleed brakes, etc hope o be ready in next 4-6 weeks.

Cheers
Adam
