Hi guys,
I am thinking about buying a ke70 as daily while my sprinter is off the road being prepared...
I am also considering fitting a 4age into the ke70 afterwards, and using that as semi street sleeper and track thrasher. (engineered of course).
How similar interms of handling is the ke70 compared to an ae86?
They've got a lot of the suspension bits in common, and have the same floor layout.. Am I right in assuming that they'll respond the same when driven hard?
Obviously the sprinter is more superior, but how far behind is the ke70..
thanks guys.

i had a ke70pvan for a while there, it had the leaf rear so the comparison is not the same as the sedan.... however that baby handled like a go-kart when i slammed it.
if you do a conversion, mount the engine back and low, do a good suspension job, there is no reason it wont handle much much better than a standard sprinter and almost as good as a modded sprinter.
