KE11 3SGE Beams

Hi guys and girls,

I only found this page the other day and thought I'd sign up and share my pride and joy. I bought her about 2 1/2yrs ago and have been slowly putting her together when funds, resources and knowledge permit. I will be getting her engineered here in NSW and have spoken with an engineer who is willing to sign of on it. The following is a run down on the specs so far.

Specs

Engine

-1999 3SGE Beams 2L w/6 speed manual

-4AGE Blacktop Quads w/ Glenn Booth manifold and throttle linkage

-Custom PWR alloy radiator

-Sam Q 110mm velocity stacks

-Adaptronic 440 Select ECU w/Innovate Wideband o2 sensor

-Race Technologies LCD Dash

-Custom wiring loom

-Original fuel tank w/LS1 intank pump mounted in Adapter plate

-Aeroflow -6AN 200 series fuel lines

-Turbosmart pressure regulator

Suspension

Front

-Ke20 Engine crossmember

-KE30 LCA's

-KE20 Castor Mounts

-KE30 Castor Rods (thread machine to suit 20 mounts)

-KE70 Steering rack w/Altezza column

-AE86 struts w/Otomoto 6kg coilover kit and pillow ball tops

-AE86 Power Steering Arms (extra lock)

-Hopper Stopper Big 2 piston brake kit w/braided lines and 114.3*5 pattern

-Custom made 22mm Signature SwayBar

Rear

-Ford EF XR6 LSD (shortened to suit) w/single piston calipers

-Custom 40mm lowering blocks

-Custom K.C.D.R 1 piece 3in tailshaft

-Custom made 19mm Signature Sway Bar

Brakes

-Custom mounted Tilton underdash pedal assembly

-5/8' front, 7/8' rear, 5/8'clutch master cylinders

-Custom brake & clutch lines w/Aeroflow -3AN 200 series braided lines

-Remote mounted Tilton brake/clutch reservior

In car

-Recaro Adjustable back seats

-Vintage Air underdash heater/demister

So currently the car is driveable but I will be pulling it down to finish the body work (finish weding tunnel and firewall in) and repair a few rust areas.

Plans for the future

-Finish wiring (high beam, horn, hazards)

-Sandblast underside of car, engine bay, interior floor, boot

-Seam weld entire car

-Paint and interior

-Registration

Also how do I go about uploading some pics for you guys & girls???

So I had Todd from Signature SwayBars come round the other day to measure up a custom 22mm front swaybar. After some discussion about routing we settled on a fairly simple design as seen in the pic below.

There was a few issues with this route which included the oil filter location and oil pressure sender location, both of which made it difficult to route the sway bar. You can see this in the photo below.

So I had to look at moving both. The oil pressure sender was easy, I just put a 90deg elbow into the block to move the sender into a vertical position.

The oil filter was also an easy solution, I purchased an Aeroflow remote oil filter relocation kit and installed. This solved two problems which were the sway bar route and also not being able to change the oil filter without removing the castor rod mount.The following photos are of it installed, I haven't finalized the filter location yet so it looks a bit funny but should look a bit better when I finish it.

OK so its been too long since I updated this thread but here goes.

 

So a lot has happened since last updating and things have changed slightly.

I finished the all rust repairs using hand made pieces and also some sections from a donor for the more difficult areas.

 

The front brakes have now been upgraded to Wilwood 4 piston calipers and 2 piece rotors and BC AE86 coilovers.

 

The car is fully painted on the underside and in the cabin

 

I built this cool little engine stand to allow single person installation of the motor and gearbox from underneath the car.
