Just picked up this one on Friday, the ol' girl had to come all the way from Queensland, but the price was right so it was worth it. It's an old 1980 liftback corona, rt132 model, always been a fan of these lifbacks. This ones got a vinyl top too :y: It's had a supercharged 1g-gze from a imported Chaser Advante front cut, 5 speed box from a ra60 Celica, power steering rack from... (can't remember right now but will update) and it goes hard! Engine bay needs a good clean up, and body could do with a full detail.

Don't really know what to do with the points, I don't have a dwell meter and don't really know what I'm checking haha but I'll read up and then check it out, cheers.

Hi, Have been having trouble with my girlfriends ra40 stalling. It's an automatic and at first the problem started happening in gear when stopped, so I thought brake master cylinder, vacuums or torque converter. But checked all the vacuum lines and they seem fine, replaced o ring on master cylinder so that's not leaking or anything.But now its started stalling in neutral too, it's not idling at all anymore. Thinking carby or something could be the problem but not sure. Just after any tips. Cheers, Jake

still for sale?

Well I haven't changed the springs at all, never even touched them, front end is stock as a rock

Will check bushes today, what can be done with regards to springs being seated incorrectly, quite an ameteur with all this suspension stuff haha.

Couldn't be worn bushes or anything could it?

My ke70 has recently developed a creaking noise when turning the wheel left at low speeds, what could be causing this? I havent had an accident or anything to attribute to it suddenly starting to do this so couldnt be that. Cheers, Jake.

Adelaide Carburettor Service 535 Regency Road, Sefton Park, SA 83424748 Got my car back today after getting the carburettor rebuilt. Mike was a great bloke, very helpful, cheaper than anywhere else I looked too.

This would be great, as far as bigger carbies go. This guy is really good to deal with, very helpful, knows his shit. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Weber-Carb-Kit-Toyota-Corolla-Tercel-2TC-3TC-3A-4A-K740-/330622470103?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4cfaa287d7

Would anyone happen to know, or be able to measure the length and width between the centres of the studs on the inlet, where the carby mounts. Thanks, Jake.

Spotted driving up green hill road, white debadged ke70, don't know what the plates were, gave them a wave, they waved back

Hey guys, been around on here for a while but my ke70 is finally registered so I thought I should post here! Located near Mitcham, Drive a 1983 5 speed XX KE70, stock as a rock. Need a new carby at the moment though to get it back on the road! Hopefully get involved in some cruises and stuff in the near future. -Jake

Still having problems, tried this, but to no avail; I guess I'm gonna have to pull the carb apart, if anyone has the workshop manual and they could scan and send me the pages on the carby, it would be much appreciated, because otherwise I'm going in blind. Really need this back on the road, hardly idles with the choke out anymore, too lean?

Bump. Anyone?
