hey all, how is a ke70 wagon diff different to a ke55 sedan diff? is it wider and are the mounts in the same spot?

is there any difference between the s/c and twinky brakes ie: caliper disc removal? i was wondering if they were the same are they like the rears (from the twinky rears i used) that just slide off once the caliper is off. as i have not played with my fronts except the rears when i changed them over. any help would be great cheers 4ages

Hello, I'm a newbie to the whole cars scene, well relatively, i owned a prelude before i purchased this corolla. i just purchased this short shifter, cause i thought that it would be easier to shift gears in, cuz currenty when i chuck it in second, it gets stuck before getting in, and its really annoying, makes me look stupid soo i purchased this short shifter off ebay, and i want to know if it would make it easier to shift gears in, my current shifter has been cut, to be shorter, but i thought short shifters are able to make changing gears 50% more easier or something. i really should of asked here before purchasing it... :lol:

Hi people, I am new here and this is my first post. I'm from the UK and I own a 2003 Corolla 1.4 T3 VVTI. I bought it as my A-B car and wanted to modify it a bit. I want to use all genuine Toyota parts, everything was going well until I got to the wheels. There is not many 17" Toyota rims that are 4x100 here. I saw a set of Celica rims I really like and was wondering whether it would be possible to convert my hubs to run on the celica fitment of 5x100? So I want to ask How difficult would this be and what parts would I need? This car is for keeps so I would not mind to work on it and spend a bit of money to get this done. Any advice would be much appreciated. :P

Any dealings with this minor difference.
