I'm also on the build with a 55, anyone used the torago diff's before?

ke70dave is on the right track if your mechanical ability isn't up to the task I reckon take it to a autoelectrician rather then battery world

also I'm putting a ca18det into it

cool what are the girlocks off? It has girlocks corrolla calipers on it allready

Jono - the calipers on my car are girlock calipers

Red I have allready done a search, I want to know of a straight bolt on caliper an disc that is around not cut and weld stuff to make it fit

Jono as soon as I have some replacements lined up I will be selling everything from the car engine drive line brakes whole lot as it's all getting up grades I will check what calipers are on there for you and let you know if there the ones you want you have first dibs on them

hey guys, was waondering if anyones fitted a larger front brake setup to their KE55 before and what did they find the easiest to use? i have access to a ST141 1985 corona for parts and wondered if anyone has used them before cheers ;)

Sorry for crap typing in previous post I'm using an iPhone

No mate , my best mate owns a workshop on rocklea and he has his own engineer for mod plating work that he does , mainly super chargers and gearbox and diff stuff ran it all past him and he has agreed to sign it off and ate once work is done as what I want to do falls below the forced induction capacity limits for a ke55. I have the engine which I will pull down on the weekend I just need to find out what LSD diffs people have been putting in these , I know I will probably need to shorten etc etc and also what are easy brake upgrades for it too

cheers for your help guys, had a bit of free time on my hands today and did a heap or research. as you have said i can legaly modify it easily due to its weight so the project is a go ahead! yay! also had a good chat with the engineer who will be signing off on it and from what my plans are he is more then happy to sign off on it when its done ! a mate has put this setup recently in a datto ute and is using a rx7 lsd diff has any one used one in the corolla and has any feed back ? @ love ke - thanks for the engineer contact its very helpful of you cheers kriso

yeah will have too as the QLD transport site doesnt realy say anything specific. also any one know the GVM of a KE55 apprx.

cheers guys , I'm doing the work myself ( been a mechanic for 10yrs ) and have access to a full workshop with everything i need in it. I'm used to wedeging engines in and out of old holdens though so don't know what brakes of what car are the easiest to fit on these and what diff i should use i was thinking shortened hilux maybe? also I'm 26yo so no sucky p plate restrictions for me :)

Hey everyone names Kris, pick up my first rolla project tomorrow, its a KE55 4 dr sedan stock as a rock, its not the prettiest car around at the moment but i don't have plans to make a show pony as don't have the coin or the time, will be slippin a CA18DET in it. I'm a mechanic by trade but have had a career change as gettin paid chump change was shit which is good as i can just turn the spanners for a hobbie now. I love fast things, cars bikes boats what ever it is. main hobbie is drag racing but don't mind watching the drifting either. basicly joined to see how the more experienced people at corolla mods have gone about things so sorry if i ask few annoying q's. cheers kriso

Hey fellas, just bought my first rolla, an 80 model KE55 stock as a rock, pick it up 9am tomorrow. my mate has a spare ca18det sitting in his workshop gathering dust and my plans are to slot it in the rolla with a shortened hilux diff. just wondering if anyones gone through this mod before and knows whats needed to get it plated if possible for rego , also what brake upgrades etc you did along the way . cheers Kriso
