not much has been happening lately, but got most of the club rego sorted, should be able to go get my plates rely this week!! also found a 5 speed for it

i think il have a play, other wise just fork out the $40 for a fitted matt :P

yea this was at winterfest, was its first trip out of my driveway, And yes i do race downhill, what did you fasten the towel down with ?

It has been found guys, was in a crash was bought on video servalance thankyou

FOUND

yea it docent look too bad, but i still want it all the same colour, i am very fast running out of money, when i got it i will buy a dash mat, for the camber, the ke70 struts would be good, I've heard of people getting there LCA's bent, i might look into that first

Yea haha, fuel gage wasn't quite working properly and may or may not have run out of fuel hahaha ;)

Thanks mate :)

thanks guys :)

This is my Ke30 2 door sedan, its my project been working on it for about a month now. i live in melbourne, Found this little beauty out in the country in victoria, called the guy got all the info and fell in love with it. so i borrowed a mates tandem trailer for a day and went and picked it up, Been a money pit like all old cars but its a passion as you all know, When i got it had a 3K and it wasn't running, missing some basic parts such as starter motor and battery. Pieced it all together to find there was a knock in the engine, as its common for 3K's to crack pistons i found a 4K for a good price and spent a day putting that in with new oil and filter, air filter, plugs, leads and dizzy. runs great, nice quiet smooth engine. I'm looking for a 5k which i will put on the stand at home and work into a hot little engine while i run the 4K, and when its ready swap it out. it currently has a 4 speed manual in it which will stay as long as i have the 4k, I'm working on finding a 5 speed to go with the 5K Brakes where quite average,so i Replaced the front callipers, the rear brake cylinders, brake master Cylinder , now it stops well. It was then running quite well so it was time for suspension. its got stock struts with king spring super low springs in the front and in the back i got the leafs reset lower to match. I have done minimal body work yet as it is quite straight for an original car, i bought a new beaver panel for it and a new rear bumper for it. i have a Hz kingswood which is a project in which i don't see getting done so that will pay for the body and paint to be done (Yes the bonnet will be matched ) Probably leave it this colour, if not it would be a nice almost candy red or blue. i was lucky enough to come up with a set of Ke55 xx wheels for it, i love the look of period wheels. fat tires on the back thin tires on front. I have a set of red and white, White wall inserts for it but I'm not sure whether i want to use them or not any more. opinions would be appreciated, keep in mind the wheels have red trim and it will have red plates. The interior is very very clean and straight no tears in the seats, and the carpet is good. only problem as all corollas it has a cracked dash which i think will be the hardest thing to find. i also found a centre console for it which looks great. after i bought the car i joined the Toyota car club of australia, went carless to a few of there meets and was happily welcomed and treated friendly by all. if it wasn't for some of the people i have met and spoken too i wouldn't have been able to source some of theses parts and gotten some amazing advice and suggestions. borrowed a trade plate off a mate over the weekend and drove it to the toyota winterfest, was great to have my car along side some beautiful other toyotas, was stoked to have the only 2 door ke30 :) i then took it for a drive throughout the mountains that arvo (on the road) , its a little rocket, the 4k goes really well surprisingly, and the car handles really really well, super stiff and sharp. can't wait to get some camber on the front and new tires. while i was up the mountains found a nice little spot for some photos Me with my pride and joy Big thanks to all the people here and of TCCAV who have been amazing and helped me out with this car, there will be more photos to come as the project advanced, hope you guys enjoyed

Hey guys, i know this is the wrong section, but i have had no luck in the wanted to buy section and been looking everywhere but no luck!! thought it might get a bit more exposure here. looking for mostly the rear bumper for a KE30, good straight condition, does not need to include lights. and Front one could also be nice in good straight condition. I'm from Eastern suburbs of melbourne am prepared to travel a bit Thanks guys

Ok guys so i got king springs super low 50mm for the front and in the back i split the leaf pack and took the bottom two (Smallest ) leafs flipped them over and put them on top of the main leaf, Sits perfect all round, low but high enough it still has plenty of travel and will be useable :) Oh and the stock leafs i had where from a 4 door so in my 2 door it sat quite high, so now its lower it is still quite stiff

i don't really care about how stiff it is, i just want it a bit lower and not so soft it bottoms out,

so flipping either one or two leafs lowers it and still has good spring properties? And what are peoples thoughts on lowering blocks in the rear ???

ok, so whats the general cost to get the 2 leafs re set?? and in your pic are you saying 2" not 2.5"??
