I saw one KE70 with an SR20 in it for $3500. But it had a 3sp Auto and was basically shat. Seen a couple in really good nick for around 3K, but mostly restored to original condition. Say I spent 3K on a decent one, I'd probably spend the same again long term changing it up a bit. If I cant find an SR20 they still go pretty hard with the standard engine.Just to be clear, the SR20 is a pipe dream (and the L20b is the realistic one).
Has a fair bit of poke, reasonably economical (think ~7l/100km) and looks coool. Unfortunately, cars like this (KE30, Ke55, 1600, Stanza, KE70 etc.) seem to fetch a premium these days, because everyone sees the potential for cheap sliders and pays accordingly.
$3,000 for an SR20'd KE70? Sorry but that seems a bit optimistic to me. There's a KE70 with a 4AGE and weldy locally for over $3,000. Even stock Ksevs with minimal rust go for ~$1,500.
I do some ghetto stuff but that cabinet wins hands downsub and amp! ahah.
Needs more zip tiesI do some ghetto stuff but that cabinet wins hands down
Also, bought this gem, sight unseen, for $250.
1.7l flat four, injected, 5spd, rah rah rah. Needs a new hatch glass. God knows what else.
The Mrs is gunna drive it. Ima gunna put open pipes on it, as per the one I owned when I was 18 hehe.
Still on the lookout for a good re-co'ed turbo for my XR6T.... bleh!
Cylinder pressure leaking into cooling system = Head gasket?now i just need to work out wtf i loose all my coolant to overflow when im on boost, but not all the time, which kind of rules out any major problem. and im clean sailing.

On the old car slider concept....End of the day the poor pay twice, most end up costing more and working worse than just buying, say, an S13 and a set of coilovers.Has a fair bit of poke, reasonably economical (think ~7l/100km) and looks coool.

On the topic of engines, how hard is it to replace the L16 with an L20? Will it just bolt strait in without and custom mounts/ work? I'm thinking L20b matched with a 5spd from a SSS Stanza will do nicely. Any ideas on an LSD?
Hey Sawtell nice pic of the Volvo wagon..
Damn spikey BOS's. I nabbed a stoy again for my desk and to maybe pull apart for giggles, do you know of anything that will re-pressurise the shock off the shelf? Needs a needle but I'm lazy to bodge something up.Indeed Uditha. 350Zs are deceptively quick. Holden's are gay though.
Just imagine how sore my right arm would get if I put BOS suspension on a Clio haha.
So I just bought this... 2006 SV650S.
Since this is the project thread, i'm intending on
- fender eliminator to clean up the tail
- new exhaust can (or just drilling the exhaust... its free) for a throatier sound
- learning how to ride it.
First bike, should be interesting.
Mine is so unspikey. Maybe its your Sunday? I know that it uses the same needle as high end car dampers. An Ohlins one fitted mine, but I'm sure they are pretty common.Damn spikey BOS's.

Will touch the bikes again eventually but a break would be good (had lots of surgery), cars definitely aren't as fun - was just something on the to-do list for me. Are you still riding?
