4k is fine for rego- just change engine numbers, 5k is not unless you are chummy with the rwc guy. <-- which is a great idea btw because they can get you for anything if they want

moist

you're going for your license and not getting the car rego'd if I read correct? The rules state the car you go for a test in just has to be registered and roadworthy with a normal handbrake and working lights etc. The vicroads guy aint going to care what it sounds like unless you're doing skids etc :P

there is a thread elsewhere on here about this, but all the good stuff and links is on the club k forums. quite a few New Zealanders doing it well. and the gravity feed thing is ancient technology, but you will need a specific bike fuel pump.

keep it the same? I feel the general look of the car was great when you got it

most of us are in corolla's because they cost ʞ©$ɟ all! If I had the cash and wanted ultimate P plate car I would get an rx7/8!!

So I see frequently people saying the genuine oil filter for k engines is the only one that has the "non flowback valve" but today I bought a RYCO filter which specifically said it has "non flowback valve"... my oil light goes off as soon as the car is started. just incase anyone was wondering

very nice!

Taking bumpers off is illegal.. but good luck with everything

Great guard/wheel tyre package! props to you :y:

My first and only is a really nice ke30 (had P's for a year). I love it, it's fun to drive and gets heaps of attention from all the right people. However it only cost me $250 and it got rwc the same day, probably owes me $1500 by now and I'm just getting to engine upgrade stuff. Insurance is cheap which is a bonus :) BUT I borrow mums car whenever I know there is an hour long drive coming up and it's heaven! POWAH, cruise control, air conditioning, sound deadening, towing ability and storage/ passenger space that the corolla could only drool over. that list pretty much covers any car built in the last 20 years.. THE ONLY way you will find a nice one at a reasonable price is to search locally or snap one up 30 mins after it hits car sales, I would cry if mine owed me anything like $3-5,000! after owning it for a year I'm soo ready to get something newer looking at Subaru wagons in manual as we speak which make soo much more sense if you have the mone. Hope that helps

that's a fair chunk smaller rolling diameter over standard! & no offence but unless it's CRAZY offfset the guards will swallow up the 6.5's no hassle with out resorting to stretching... which is the only reason you would do it? Moral of the story, more h3ktic wheels needed to not look stupid

Epic winning, and ʞ©$ɟing original!!

It still has a black engine bay :o

if that 4k is as fresh as a daisy with cam, double valve springs, extractors and aftermarket carb and receipts, the body is as Overrated as it looks in the photo and completely rust free & those wheels came with it on new tyres and it had a RWC then I would pay every bit of the $5,000 As it stands it's a P platers car with JDM stickers amd comes with wheels that would make it look like a POS

the thing I keep :bash: is that a 5k is no more legal than cut springs. Yes it looks the same, but if you were ever at fault in an accident its you paying. Vic P plate laws mean you can't engineer it which would be a piece of piss. Where do I go from here?? I've tried a roadworthy inspector and vicroads playing dumb to the capacity increase and they both said the same thing in the end. 4k or jump Where to from here?

Wide body ftw. IMO

got another one of those engines just lying around Evan?

I was like whoa those guards eat up those 7" rims, then I saw the width of the tyres! haha, that's the width of standard tyres on steelies

Love it :y: nom nom nom wagons

$580 is a bit rich! remember that you want a stiffer set up if you are lowering so an extra leaf is required. If you just put in lowering blocks you will hit bump stops A LOT. My local shop added a leaf and reversed my eyes for $200, but I removed them from the car myself.

I'd put money on it being the ballast resistor (the white rectangle that sits next to your coil pack) $3 from repco

And if its legit who in their right mind would save a bunch of overrated cars only to flood the market with them all at once? EVERY other collector of anything wants you to think that their product is the last one you will ever see... :hmm:

Yeah, that's pretty much how mine is rolling (ke30 same color as yours-ish) at the end of the day, the cost is why everyone does it *pokes stick at man with nice car :P

IMO whitewalls and chrome trims on steelies are cheap tricks that look good on otherwise average corolla's.. like mine :lolcry: your car is surely overrated enough to be the absolute package rolling on something different? those current wheels in bronze with whitewalls would be my last choice.
