MI55KE

Hey how's the project coming along? Cruise coming up in March, you definately should come if its not too far :hmm:

I'm definately in, been waiting for a cruise like this for awhile. Be good to give my car a good run!

This thread makes me sad....so many beautiful relics! I'm glad i could at least save mine :P

I know i love the ke55, by far the best looking corolla..to me anyway :D I think the link to mine is in my signature? Her name is Billie. Candy will definately suit yours! Hope to see it sometime at a cruise somewhere :D Cheers CaRz

Nice ride :dance: Good to see more girls into the Ke's! You got the same ideas as i have for mine which is cool :y: I'd love to respray mine pink/purple/any other girly colour but can't do that until the bf gets his own ke to play with lol. Have you named it yet? lol. Keep us posted! Cheers ~*CaRz!*~

Mine gets very noisy at top speed because of exhaust. But i did just recently get the bearing in the driver's side rear wheel fixed and replaced..mechanics charged me $140, don't know if that's any good or not, (being that i'm a female and i just wanted it fixed) because of hearing a "rolling" noise at low speeds. When i got the car back, the noise was still there, and we discovered it was coming from the other rear tyre. So we jacked it up ourselves, had a play round with the wheels, took them off, put them back on, tightened them up etc and it seemed to go away. Haven't had too many problems since. Don't know if that helps or not, good luck :lolcry: Cheers ~*CaRz!*~

I don't like the hours system...50 hours is alot, 100 hours is just torture. I've been on my L's for two years now..and i've only just reached 48 hours, due to not having anyone to teach me and not having the money to afford driving lessons. I've also heard the rumours about it changing to 24 months minimum, but nothing has been confirmed yet. I'm urging my brother to get his L's before they change the rules and make it even harder to get your license.

I got the weirdest stare from..wait for it...a commodore driver turning out onto the highway the other day. Couldn't work out whether i knew him or if he was a freak cause he was doing some strange wave thing... And couldn't figure out if it was the car or me?! Weird...

Hey all, Been awhile since i update this page. And alot has been done. Car is now registered and roadworthy and has been zooming around the streets with L plates on for quite a while! We were looking at the prospect of putting better wheels on, but didn't want to go anything new or "bling". Found some MA61 Supra Rims, 14x7" which looked great, and were a bargain at $300 (with tyres). Just put them on yesterday and they look awesome! Front wheel going on, car still jacked up The test drive (note the car is naturally lowered, due to having 3 people in the car..) The end result, all wheels on The tyres (they're huge but i like them!) Other pics we took that look great... Let me know what you think....i think they make her look alot more beasty :lock_folder: Cheers ~*CaRz!*~

Lol i'm a home and away fan..you gotta admit, its better than neighbours... The burnt out car was supposed to be a camry (the guy didn't own a corolla, he owned a camry) so they screwed up there! Oh and lost is getting soooo good!

Damm i wish, exactly what i'm after for the KE55...

Just a little update... Finally got the car fixed up, that is the seat bracket, fan belt, idler arm and steering column box...all done for the cost of $66. Was really happy about that. So it passed pink slip, will be getting it registered next week so i can finally drive it! (Legally!) Cheers ~*CaRz!*~

Heya, No hard feelings about using my car's pic lol, it will get some attention now, cause i love what you've done to yours! I'm looking to do about the same, once i get some cash flow. Want to respray the original colour, re-do the door trims cause i really don't like the blue, maybe black or white. Also looking to replace the carpet aswell. Keep it up..hopefully mine will look as hot as that one day! Cheers ~*CaRz!*~

Hey all, I'm looking to get my KE resprayed...the current colour is Australia Post Red and i'd like to get the whole car redone in the same colour. Just wondering if anyone knows how much this would roughly cost so i can work out a budget.. Cheers ~*CaRz!*~
