Hi springersrolla, I actually followed the recommendations you made about increasing castor from an older post I found when looking into it. The only downside, if it can be called that, is my steering is mildly heavier ... " ....buy or borrow a dienut the same as your castor rods, run it down another 2inches at least, buy new castor bushes. refit and line up your castor to the best of your judgement and limp to a wheel alignment shop eg; pedders, tell them you want as much castor as you can get before the tyre scrubs the front of your guard. drive home knowing that the front end is the best it will handle for minimal dollars and then save for coilovers, adjustable strut tops, etc" cheers mate

hi altezzaclub, it really needed a wheel algnment before the lca change so my opinion is probably skewed, but for the winding country roads around here it hasnt felt this good ever. It feels more direct and controlable, yes more responsive but without oversteer, personally very happy I did it, even if it does double my tyre budget.

When I was looking into the GE Sigma LCA (330mm) to ke corolla mod I couldnt find a pic to illustrate what exactly the extra length would achieve in a ke55. Now I've done the mod I thought I'd post a pic, a bit of a visual aid for anyone contemplating going down the same path... :thumbsup:

hey gavin thanks for the info, no module is good news ... can't see the pic though mate. Ive got the pdf for the crane box now so that should help. thanks again

gday all. i have a 5k/3k-b engine that i want to run with and an older crane 6600 ignition box and optical pickup dizzy that according to the crane tech guy will work together. My questions are, I have a bosch mec717 coil, do ineed the bim024 module to run it or does the box do it ? also i understand white wire from the dizzy sensor goes to white trigger wire on box, black to body earth, and then instuctions say red wire "12v+ switched" i assume this means to coil+ or should I put in a relay to get 12v+ from battery ? sorry if these are basic questions, cheers anyway .. :thumbsup:

so some of may have seen this - wonder what it will sell for ?? ...... thought id share the love a little if you had'nt seen it anyways...... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1978-Toyota-Corolla-KE-30-11800-KM-/320755492564?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item4aae8466d4#ht_500wt_1156

just my 2c worth - olive drab but with a couple coats of clear/pearl, black rims etc etc yeah baby :yes: works for me anyway

i have a passenger seat from a 86 swift (85-88 is the same..?) in the ke55 didnt need any mods - already had the exact holes in the seat base, bolted the rails straight in, measurements are length (front of car to rear) 320mm and 385mm wide, thats going centre bolt hole to centre.... would be interesting to know what fits yours anyways cause i spent a whole day walking the yard measuring up a bolt in seat ....

could you play around with spring/weight sets - would that be relevant on a kit like this ?? i know for example Mallory sell spring kits to recurve their electronic distributers ....

use a bit of imagination I'm sure you can understand what I'm saying .....

so ive seen My link does that mean you could take the old coil and ballast out and replace it all with said distributer ?? has anyone used one of these ?

any of the auto parts places should have one in stock or get one it for you - not expensive either from memory less than $20 anyway

the differnce is that the auto has a torque converter thats bolts up to a flex plate - it doesnt have a flywheel it has a flex plate. The manual has a flywheel, a clutch and pressure plate. - you will also need a spigot bearing as the auto wont have one

you will need a manual flywheel

this one has been up for as long as I can remember - i guess hes probably spent that much on it ...... and I can see the car has potential but..... $10500 and I'm pretty sure it was $11500 to start with - theres a pink coupe as well overrated but stock ... started at 12500!! 8500 or something now ...
