  1. They pop up Yes, but being 30+ years old. you can't just walk into a dealership and say "Hey, i need some Front guards for a KE38!" they are around, i see a few on ebay maybe once every 6 months? if that
  2. ^serious? if so, 90% chance its a reproduction one. KE70 is newer, but even newer guards local would be a mission. If you could buy new guards easy, don't you think half of the owners would buy new ones instead of repairing?
  3. Sure, autobarn sell them, Troll aside, no. you maybe lucky and find NOS one hiding in some horders basement. good luck
  4. very likely to go ahead, have you see his last 2 rollas? CA18DET KE30 then a CA18DET KE38 lots of custom work, can't wait to see some progress pics of when you start this mate..
  5. 79 KE55 Fresh 4k runs well, good on fuel. 4 speed 3 mags, one bent diff has some noises coming from it, wheel bearings i think. rego till 16th next month $800 ono, no audio gear
  6. Two stage. Your thinking of a 38/38 weber which opens both at same time Cheers
  7. $583.12 Give or take $400 depending on some stuff. But as others have said, buy a manual wreck, swap out whats better, swap the manual gear, do skidds... easy.
  8. Cheers for that Towe.... should have Taken a pic of the TA22 ones i got before i put em in.
  9. Doubt its carby dirty, i pulled it down and cleaned it about 5 months ago. Plugs i did same time as points, Will check timing, and mixture later, might also chuck a new thermostat in, car doesnt seem to get hot even on a long trip.
  10. yeah I'm still keen, depends on what day, what time... sunday would be better for me... (damn night shifts :wink: )
  11. i seen that the other day and thought, Leigh will be onto that first thing Monday!! haha
  12. Cheers mate, I know its a common question, so figured id at least make a effort at answering it.
  13. Ok, have been getting pm's for ages now, asking same question. I'm sure ive answered it about 6356456 times over 435364 threads... And yes I'm going to add this info to the FAQ... so all you people can read it, and learn it.... its not hard! This is all from my own experience, i can't guarantee it will work 100% or fit. you may have other factors to consider. First all, KE70 models. XT130 LCA's Into a KE70... How do i do it? First of all, XT130 corona LCA is same as the KE30/55 and also the RA40 Celica. ive tried all 3 in my old KE70 and got same result. It all just bolts in, hour or two tops, depending if bolts stuck, or you never done it before. As for what tierod/tube combo to use for the above, i use the RA40 Celica tierod and a KE30 tube (dunno whats proper name of this, i call it "the tube") The KE30 tube is adjustable at both ends unlike the stock KE70 item (number 1 in pic). this will give you more then enough safe adjustment. Putting sigma LCA's into a KE70 First off, ive never tried these, BUT, its same procedure. Bolts in, can't remeber what Sigma LCA it is, but i think its the GH one. ill double check later and confirm it. then ill add all this into the FAQ. You will have to drill a new hole for the Swaybar link to mount other wise it will be on a angle like so / As for the TIEROD/TUBE combo, id use a RA60 Celica Tube, and a RA40 tierod. the tube is around 25mm longer then a KE30 one so it will compensate for the extra 30 odd mm you have just added to the track either side. Sigma LCA into a KE3X/5X Once again, same as KE70, bolt in, drill hole for swaybar link blah blah blah. Main question i get its tierod/tube combo... again....! RA60 tube, KE30/55/RA40 tierod... they all the same from what i can tell. just price difference. here is a quick pic, I'm tired and will edit this over next few days. 1) Stock KE70 tierod end 2)KE30 tierod 3)RA60 tierod 4)RA40 tierod and KE30 tube 5)RA40 tierod and RA60 tube EDIT, remember reading the Metal tube in the LCA bush has to be cut down either side to fit either corolla first. will once again confirm this later. What struts fit in what? What fits in a KE3x/5x? XT130, use the Top hat (with the 3 studs) from what ever car your putting them in. Should fit as is as spring diameter is same as KE30/55 (maybe a few mm wider... not 100% sure) use XT130 steering arms RT132... same as above. Use RT132 steering arms TA22 - Bolt in, use TA22 steering arms RA60 - use your current cars top hat, these struts will give + camber.. fix with Sigma arms and camber tops. RA40, bolt in using your current cars top hat. T18 Series 1, bolt in, use your current cars top hat, T18 steering arms, or AE18 AE86, same as T18 What fits in a KE70? Those above struts WONT FIT in there stock form, the spring perch and spring diameter is too big, will foul on strut towers. But you can convert them Coilover and use all of them :wink: AE86 bolt in with your KE70 top hats, use AE86 steering arms. (T18 series 1 same) T18 also bolt in using KE70 top hat. Once again, ill update as i find more.
  14. Any tips? Not sure where to start really, if spring harder, whats that do? length of it do what? Dan
  15. Yeah thats what i thought, Might see if i can get a new pump and stuff... might have to buy a kit though.
  16. just got a little prob, not bad just annoying. engine is 4k, all new gasket, redone head, rebuilt carby (3k, no choke system) points dizzy ect ect. Light flywheel, HD clutch Problem is it has a small flat spot as you re apply the throttle, doesn't matter what speed your doing. it seems to be just as put foot on pedal, probably no more then 5-6mm. and if you hold it at that point its very hesitant. Checked the accelerator pump, its working, all stock jets, so I'm sure its fine. mixture seems good, havnt checked timing. Its not a major problem, I'm used to it. but want thoughts on what it is, what i can check ect. Cheers Dan
  17. I KNOW WHAT IT IS, AND I AINT BLOODY TELLING YOUZ!!! Hurry up and get it/them/those/it on/in/next to your car :wink:
