  1. Abit off topic, but I too have an electrical problem and am not sure what it is. For starters my Hi-beam doesn't work, yet when i dip the lights that works. Then also with the lights, sometimes when i turn my lights off the parkers stay on. They turn off automaticly, but it varies at times, may be after 2,3,4,5 or more minutes. Does anyone know what may be causing the problem?? thanks, Jon.
  2. So did you take it back or what?? If they claim that they don't do it with putty yet did, u should have gotten them to redo it properly or gotten your money back.
  3. See, there could be another "Pussywagon" for only $100.00 It'll never reaplace the original but its a start.
  4. If you go onto the website they state that they don't do a cheap patch job because after the putty dries up it continues to crack all over again. Click Here For The Process They end up stripping away all the vinal and the foam, repair whatever structual defects it may have and then start creating it from scratch. Now, I too was quoted $330, that is including the GST for my KE30. The price might not vary much, but i wouldn't be sure. I came across an American company that Re-Creates almost all dashes from scratch and only costed $54.00 US. I was excited, cause even after i were to pay for postage it would come to around $100 AU. I sent them an e-mail asking if they'd do an Australian conversion?? Obviously they don't know how better off they'd be, cause i'd let everyone know to drum up bussiness for them. Cause they didn't reply to my e-mail. Their loss!!
  5. Hey guys, I was searching for stuff on my car one night when i came across this site that restores cracked dashboards and cracked arm rests. As I've looked everywhere for a good dash and havn't found one I was quite excited. I looked at what else they do on the site and found they also do custom consoles, wood grain dashes, wood grain knobs and steering wheels. If anyone wants a look its: .DASHBOARD RESTORATIONS I'm getting my dashboard done right now so i'll let you know how it turnd out if anyones interested. Jon.
  6. Abit off topic, but does anyone know where to get new clips so you can put the roof gutters back on?? Also the badges that say corolla are pinned into the panels. thanks, Jon.
  7. I made a mistake. I copied the quote from another topic and selected new topic. I didn't realise that it kept it in the Marketplace section. My Bad.
  8. What do you mean by flat?? I know for sure that I am the 3rd owner of my car. Second was my brother and i was there when my brother bought if from the first.
  9. Hey, just wanting to know If KE70DRIFT is still a member, if so i'd like to start a petition to have his membership taken away!!
  10. I went to the wreckers today and saw A 1975 KE30 and it too had 5 Digits. But what is to say that in 1977 or 1978 they introduced 6 Digit Odometers?? Maybe the KE30's with the older dash has 5 Digit odometers??
  11. Gimme a pic of a "KE30" dash then!! Show me the differance!!
  12. If thats so than why did my KE30 have this. Now this is how i got it. I got it from my brother, and i know he didn't do anything to the car cause he was too bussy running it into the ground.
  13. If thats so than my odometer and all the others i've seen must have been replaced with ones with 6 by some freakish force.
  14. Its only fair that you should be able to wind back you k's if you've reconned the engine. It lets you know how many k's that engine has done. Anyway, who's gonna worry about my car being rolled back?? Not like its a new car having it rolled back and i'm trying to make a profit!! If anyone would even think of saying anything i'll say, the car's 30 years old, it's been around the clock.
  15. Or in the case of my car, If they'd watched gone in 60 secs, they could just bring a spare steering wheel.
  16. That makes me made. At my local swimming hole there are many burnt out wrecks. (They're burnt out cause they've been driven off a cliff), but still, it makes me mad. We spend so much money on our cars. They're our pride and joy and some wanker who wants a quick thrill, breaks into our cars cause they're old, and trashes em!! I'm sad for ya and hope that there is some way for you to catch up with the little shithead that did this to you, so you can break his f@$king legs!! To me, there'll always be other cars, but none will replace the one that was lost. Were you insured??
  17. $20 Grand?? I'd pimp out my rolla. You can't really legaly drive fast on the streets. You could get away with some things that would make the car drive better but since they're seen on the car you could classify it as hotting it up. Eg, Exhaust Or intercooler, which would have to be attached to a turbo off couse.
  18. Do u have plates?? I drove my car around brissie with expired rego last year for three months before i got caught. Even before that i was pulled over by a coppa and he saw the 2003 rego sticker and did nothing. In the end i didn't lose any points. QLD cops aren't that smart. They issued me 3 fines (Unregisted car, Uninsured car & Expired plates) They f*cked up when copying my license that i could get out of two of the fines. After they took my plates i just put my personalised ones on until i got it roadworthy and registed. If it doesn't have plates, borrow your parents plates. The possability of you being caught are slim as long as you drive the speed limit and follow all the road rules. And stay away from cops.
  19. Does anyone know what a corolla with a CS badge came with compared to one with SE??
  20. Funny that, I wound my K's back before I got it registered and no one said anything about it. Or it could be that the lady at the Transport Department was too fat to bend over and look into my car.
  21. Mine i wound back with a drill and after the first 10,000 i picked it up and started turning it like a rubix cube. It was alittle like that, it was rough and all i could hear was crunching sounds. But it worked good now and i have the right reading for my current engine.
  22. That was it when my Brother owned the car slighly (1 year) after he ran it into the ground. It looks alot cleaner now with about 230,000 k's less on the clock.
  23. Its a 1978 KE30. I can tell the bonnet isn't the original cause the paint is flaking off and its white underneith. I like my grill. Out of all the grills i've seen i think its the better one. Does anyone have the same as me cause i wanna know if its supposed to be two tone or not?? The twin headders would look better if they were smaller i reccon. How do u have so many left hand mirrors?? I have only ever seen one other corolla with an original left hand mirror. SE. I've come up with a couple ideas to what it could stand for... Could it be Special Edition?? Or Sports Edition?? ~JiP_01~
  24. Is it just me or does anyone else think that the Carpet on the door trims looks crappy?? I perfer the KE30 trims. I do like alot about my KE30 but i seem to be looking at alot of KE55's and taking stuff from them, I found seats from a KE55, with the removable headrest, and still in my colour vinal. I like to take the headrests off so that it looks even older like a 1960's car. Plus these seats are much more comfortable. Does anyone else perfer the vinal seats?? I looked everywhere and after ages of looking i traveled from Brisbane to Ipswich and beyond to pick up a matching left hand mirror for my passenger door. Also I know my car was in an accident with its previous owner and am not sure if it has a KE30 Bonnet. Is the KE30 bonnet ment to have the chrome vents?? Also Both my front guards had SE on them. Does anyone know what they stand for?? With the headlights has anyone ever wondered what the KE30 would have looked like with duel headlights like all other luxury/ sports cars?? I altered a picture of my KE30 and its grill to see what it'd look like. But i think it'd need smaller headlights & more grill. ~Sorry If My Picks Are Too Large, Its My Camera~ JiP_01
  25. Dolz, sounds like you've got the same problem i've got on my KE30. I got my whole speedo fron the wreckers. It may have been from a KE55. Either way i can't check, I was there today and the was crushed. I made my current speedo out of that one and the original cause the original's speedo needle kept slipping and telling the wrong speed and my clock was broken. Does your Temp Guage and Fuel Guage kick in every now and then?? I find its the lagre, white, round connection behind bothe guages. I usually stick my arm under the dash and give it a jiggle while driving and it kicks in. I'm looking at hopefully Getting a third Speedo when i get my new dash recovered. Anyway, Good luck. JiP_01 ~Here's a pic of what my speedo was like~
