Niceee little rolla, pretty clean! i just wish i had a 4age i mine to hear the sound of 7500 rpm. :(

mine is as stock height so i was shocked hahaha. yeah i need to roll my rear guards in. whats the best way to do it? my brother said with a hammer....but I'm not sure if he knows what he is talking about.

A rotory? hahaha i am just using it as a daily car but its so freaking slow. i would love better acceleration.. haha

THE GRANNY CAR Looks a but better with Rimz.

yeahhh i have a 4age sitting at home needs a rebuild. think i might have a go aye! will do! Whats the best way to roll the mud guards in? i have just bought 14 inch mags and it seems to be scraping on the tyres... kinda homo :/

Hey guys. Currently own an Ae82 lift back model. Its a poverty pack :/ meaning its only got a 4ac engine in it sadly. What is the best thing i can do for my car to make it faster? if its possible hahahah.

This is beautiful man :')

Nice 20!

This is so overrated. Top job :)

Nice project mate! preee sick.

Nice build mate. looks amazing :)

yeah thanks guys.

its just the "ke30-(numbers) i just thought a vin number was longer than that but its an old car so yeah. thanks anyway.

So guys, i am desperately looking for the VIN number for my KE30 corolla! who knows where to find it?

Quite a collection mate.

So the beast is getting there. Painted the stocks black, They look fair mad now :cool: I Love my car, still gotta a lot that i can do with it, thinking about painting it? or do you reckon i should keep it original? I'm not too sure :/ LIGHTS! :o :dance: haha ;)

Thats a nice as car mate!

Nice car mate! I actually just bought a ke30 for my first car, its brilliant, same colour, its kind of my project car, but corolla's are great for a first car :) Hope you love it man.

at the moment....roadworthy :laff:

SO, this is my younger brothers KE30 he got for dirt cheap, so therefore its in poor condition. Only good thing about it i think, would be the K50 gearbox. Which the previous owner installed I've taken it on as a project for myself, because of my love for cars ;P First things first was getting it running, with only 240,000kms on it i figured this couldnt be too hard (240k isnt much for these engines :yes: ) So, I put a new battery in it, new spark plugs, changed out the black as sin oil and the old oil filter, and gave the carby a good spray with carby cleaner. I turned the key and it started first go.....brilliant :happy: Next thing was to get the old shocks out front and rear and replace with new....the rears they had on the shelf but the fronts had to be ordered. So i started with the rear. Out with the old. In with the new I then skipped to the interior and took the old torn seat covers off, and dropped them in to have the seams re-stitched as they had all pulled apart (I'm still waiting for them to be finished) After that i decided to bleed the brakes, and after failing miserably to realise that there was a separate reservoir for the fronts hiding behind the strut tower in the engine bay, i took the calipers off and ordered new seal kits for them. Still pending arrival. I then cut all the rust out, and hit it with some rust converter, still need to get around to bogging it all up, but took the left front guard off so i can fix it properly, as the hole is too big for body filler. Still needs a tickle where the chrome strip was. This is how much dirt came out from behind it. Which brings me to today, where i got the front struts out and used trial and error to work out how to get the bloody cartridge out.....only to realise that there wasnt a cartridge in there, its the 35 year old original. So after much pain and tribulation trying to get that gland nut off (i ended up using a stilson spanner and putting the axle in the hole in the strut tower to stop it rotating) I got it off only to be surprised with a very large mess of old shock oil. One shock shaft was even bent by about 5 degrees. Absolute filth. Here it is as it stands, waiting for the arrival of the new front shock cartridges (also cheap gabriels) and the caliper rebuild kits. Once i get that front end back in, and fix up the new holes in the bodywork. I can move on to getting the seats back in.....and fixing the horn. (the contact pin behind the steering wheel doesnt have a spring on it and must be broken) If anything, this project has been fun, so setting aside the new learning curve (as all ive ever worked on before was AE82's) All is well.

I'm such an idiot. :bash: I had no idea that there was two resevoirs on these cars. I only just discovered the one for the fronts. I have NO IDEA how i didnt see it before. But oh well. Already ordered caliper rebuild kits so at least that will be done and they'll be functioning properly :rolls:

In the wiper/indicator switch assembly there is that copper bar that contacts the copper ring on the steering wheel....on most other cars there is a spring on it to keep it touching the steering wheel, would someone please send me a photo of the KE30 one....mine doesnt look broken, but there is no spring and definitely nowhere to PUT a spring. Thanks, Lammi

Aaaah yep. thanks
