Built a KLZE BA hatch about a decade ago
Hi folks,
As the title states I put a KLZE in our 94 astina hatch automatic about a decade ago and its been okay. They fit in fairly easily although the strut brace didn't fit back in. I didn't chip it though, and put it together with the KF airflow meter and left the stock computer. Ive just got all nostalgic with it as I polished it last weekend because im about to sell it  so I thought Id post up some pics.Last edited by Malibu Q; 18-06-2013 at 06:25 PM. Reason: pic probs |

Heres a pic of the motor, taken during the install. I didn't put the polished front cam cover on until I had finished. I don't have any finished pix, I just slammed the bonnet and started driving.
 I'll get some more motor pix this weekend |

Thanks for the welcome.
It's almost stock visually, only painted handles and front lip, 35%tint, black mesh grille and 98 M badging. When I get pix of the engine bay i'll create a post in the perf section showing the swap and summarizing my experience with it Edit: and I shaved the front licence mount on the bumper so the licence plate fits better :-) Last edited by Malibu Q; 19-06-2013 at 06:56 PM. |

Is the car a auto ?
Cause I know you said you put a KLZE in your auto hatch, just curious if you left it auto or converted it to manual

It's still an automatic.
In 2004 at about 140K the radiator broke where the top hose attaches and the car was driven until the motor was damaged. I decided to swap in the KLZE after being impressed with its condition in an importers warehouse while looking for another KF. The engine looked almost brand new on the outside, and was a very light gold inside the cam covers. The car had a major trans overhaul in 2011. It's has done 240K now. I'm going to ask $4500 for it Last edited by Malibu Q; 26-06-2013 at 08:13 PM. |
