  1. Thankssssss ........ ok then i'll order a pair......
  2. Hi rolla bros, Does anyone here know this company? http://www.newoldcarcompany.com.au/toyota-corolla I need to find a pair of taillights for my ke20. They make brand new ones and i found some on eBay. these looks very fine for me, does anyone here use them? How is the quality ? I'm gonna buy a pair so i'm seeking for your review. Thanks.
  3. no there is no gauges or warning lights other than the typical ke20 cluster........ "contact points" means there is something like a relay's contacts, just like in the headlight switch. I can clearly see it moving up and down when i manually turn the speedometer. I there any over speed warning chime in Ke20s ? One of my friend told me that it is a warning chime, but not sure...
  4. Does anyone know what this contact points do in ke20 speedometer ?? cannot find any clue. There is nothing mentioned in the wiring diagram. Anyone know what this thing does??
  5. Paintwork this time............ Had to remove the paint on roof because of bubbles caused by the underneath surface rust. Repainted with eggshell finish until a full respray.
  6. great work mate........ Keep it up......
  7. Hi guys...... after a long time........... updating........... found original fender mirrors........ polished and fixed.......... And the bumper corners with some heavy rubber stuff.......

  9. Hi mate, Thanks for your info......... done the same job.......... skimmed off the guide and all doing great........ no more oil burning headache........... :y: :y: :y:
  10. Hi mate, just read your valve stem seal clashing problem. I need your help......... i have the same problem. I have installed new valve guides recently. But they are exactly same in lengths as the original guides. valvetrain is stock but the problem is the valve stem seal gets hit by the valve spring retainers. I cannot figure out what is happening. Is it causing by bad length stem seals??? because the rest is stock......... i didn't buy stem seals separately. They came along with the Head replacement kit named as FUJI (made in japan). :hammer:
  11. Does anyone know what is this valve like thing which connects the distributor vacuum hose???? my Sprinter ke20 has this one but not connected any hose. It has two connections. one side says CARB and the other side says DIST. Any idea what it does??? or how it works????? :hmm:
  12. Oh my god............ such a beautiful condition car.......... need more and more pics maaannnnnnnnnnn.............

  15. is it possible to swap 5K or 7k dizzy straight into my 3k engine ???
  16. i need to get a new set for my car. i need to know whether front bushes for ke series (20,30,70) same??? can i fit ke70/ke30 front suspension bush set into my ke20???? thanks.
  17. i got tired of garage workers...... and well known carb tuners in my area. non of em was able to solve my prob. the prob was very poor gas mileage...... at last i jumped into the carb and found the solution. the venturi gasket was leaking, and there is another leakage near the accelerator pump spray nozzle. And the primary main jet is also quite large. so i did fix all the leakages and lowered the jet, and then before the carb goes in i adjusted the ignition timing spot on...... i mean spot on.... then the result.......... she's purring like a kitten...... what a difference :rocknroll: oh what a feeling it is when you see water drips out from the exhaust :wub: before it was full of black smoke inside the tailpipe end..... i washed the shit out to see whether my work is fine....... yeeeessssss it's far more than fine....... i've driven it for about 300km until now , there is almost no black shit in the tailpipe...... and more than anything now she's doing about 32mpg / 14kmpl on short runs or in city...... never tested it in a long runs...... but this it should do about 40mpg.... that is more than enough..... :dance:
  18. good job mate........ body looks nice and straight.... keep up the good work :y:
  19. hey guys.... done a wooden gear knob in my free time.... i thought to go to an extra long shifter style.... and it came up nice any comments???? trust me, i have done it using my...... what is it called??? a 2*2" piece of jack fruit wood block which i used to stop the car in the right spot in my garage...... lol anyway check out this one... i started to repair my rear window defroster element. it is totally damaged..... have a look topmost element is partially done..... the compound is cheap but worth it....... looking forward to complete the other lines too... it takes a lot of time to do it with the fitted windshield.....
  20. thats surely a tank cleaner........ your twenny looks overrated...... keep her shiny....
  21. aaaahhhhhhhh that moment when you realize that your ROLLA's vintage AM radio is still working............ :rolls: :dance: :eatlead: yeah yesterday i removed my meter panel to test another spare meter panel, somehow i thought to think about my factory fitted AM only radio......... early in the restoration process i removed the speakers since they were badly damaged and didn't even think about the radio....... but this time i thought to hook up an 8ohm speaker to test whether it works......... surprisingly she gave up some noise........ :yes: yaaaaaaahooooooo i cannot believe a 40 year old radio is still working......... how reliable are these JNC s......... woooooooowwwwwwwwwwww #Respect JAPAN from Sri Lanka.......
  22. thanks guys........ i connected it......... :y: :y:
  23. ahhhhhhhhhhhh thats strange......... my one is not connected to the bottom............ will it affect mileage or performance or anything?????
  24. thanks mate, today i touched my carb.......... the prob was the secondary didn't open so the car doesn't accelerate on load (4 passengers). prob was with the A/C diaphragm..... somehow it was blocking the movement of the linkage...... so i adjust it and now it moves easily....... but now the prob is when the secondary opens, it gives black smoke........ looks like the secondary main jet is too large....... need to fix it up with a slightly small one...... ahhhhh what a pain in the ass it was.... lol
  25. does any one know what is this thing(red circle) on 4k carbs???? and the purpose of it?????
