Re: KE70 Liftback sr5
Got it!! pheeewww!
so, now that we've covered that confusion... my biggest question is..... how reliable is the 3tc and how easy is it to get running after 5 years of sitting.. the OG owner has tons of paperwork showing the car was taken care of up to 2009 when the u joint broke and was parked..
another one is... when i sat in the car.. i pressed on the clutch and it was still as hell.. i clutch kicked and it bottomed out with zero back pressure. ( it had a new clutch,throw-out and flywheel resurface in 05 ) would it be the slave cylinder and you think it would need to be bled or replaced?
i am also afraid of gaskets blowing out when i first start it up... :/ does that happen a lot to these rides? im very curious as to how much $$ ill be dumping into it.. mind you i picked up this gem for 280$!!!!!!!!

First 4 digits of vin will tell you what model you have.
Is there fluid in the clutch reservoir? Yes, maybe can get away with bleeding. No, you have a leak and something needs replacing.
Drain the gas and replace. Check all fluids. If everythings good, I wouldnt worry about blowing up gaskets. If the carburator was full of gas when parked, its probably turned to varnish. Hopefully somethings not gunked up.

Nice looking sportcoupe. Can't beat that for the money. What are your plans with it?

Re: KE70 Liftback sr5
well i found out i have a 1980 Sr5 hatchback. lol but i plan on some little things to start.
Bride seats.
Weber Carb.
New full 2inch straight pipe exhaust with muffler under driver seat and 2.5 from axle back.
lowered 3 inches,
wheels and tires.
window tint.
steering wheel.
cluster gauges.
louvers.
fender mirrors.
so far thats what ive listed out in my mind.. but i am open to ideas.. i really want some opinions on wheel setups.. i want 15's but idk if i should go 15x8 or 15x8.5 in the rear.. and what tire profile i should "roll" with.
