I need a few peices, its been chopped out at the front due to the conversion, I will be looking out for some parts!

Just picked up a KE15 Sprinter today!! Chasing some parts!!

Buy the wreck back off him for next to nothing, and fix it!

No offence but if you after performance stay well away from corollas go buy a vb 253 :P :S :no2:

looking at buying this ke30 2dr off this lil old lady near me. its quite nice. whats the kinda price you'd pay for a overrated one? (how long is a peice of string?) but seriously? cheers

Dude, its a Ride thread, not "Best Love Songs of 1980" or "Stock market crash of 1987" :(

Your not the bloke I met yesterday are you?

Tally is right in what he says

Googs? :dance: :y: :hmm: :lolcry:

Interesting

I found that my corolla had a worn steering box, something to do with the worm. I got it reconditioned, (thanks to my old man) And put new ball joints, tie rods, pitman arm. It drives perfect, steering is light as, (steering wheel is a bit flimsy)

Id look at adapting a rack out of something. Ie. Gemini would be a good starting point?

Why would you worry about upgrading the steering then? I've been in a 10sec 13bt Mazda :D :lol: :D :y: :yes: :lolcry:

The yoke wont go into the box :D Seems more of a finer thread on the ke55 box compared to the ke11 tailshaft The ke11 was running a 4spd manual

What are the differences in tailshafts between say a ke11 and a ke55 I have put a ke55 5spd in my corolla and I'm finding that the tailshaft does not match up. is a ke55 same length? and will it bolt up to my diff? thanks luke

Ahuh! I don't mind cutting, just thought I read somewhere that it would line up in the original position. I am sure I have KE55, please read above and repost, I am more inclined to believe Felix. You have confuzzled me Raven :D

Alrite. So I recently picked up what I thought to be a "ke55 5spd" Its definately a 5spd, I have rebuilt it, new bearings etc. It was fitted up today, and shifter hole is about 6 inches back from original spot. Anyway, is this becuase its a Ke70 box? Perhaps? :D Or Is it simply a ke55 box and this is the best that it will fit? I don't really wanna have to cut my baby :lol: Help much appreciated. Thanks Luke

Dude if your worried about steering I would take that boat anchor out and go for a 4 cycl of some sort.

I can vouch for the GT Radials, With Ke20 Front brakes, 1300 Master Cylinder. All new suspesion, tie rods, ball joints, bushes etc THE CAR HANDLES overrated!!!!!!!!!!! :D
