Yea man cheers. I’m not really engine literate. I’m still learning the ins and outs of the internal combustion engine lol.

Hey charl, as I upgraded to a 4K motor in my KE25 I am in the same situation as you. My 4K alternator is different to the original 3K one. Could anyone confirm if I could change back to the 3K alternator?

ey man arnt you the dude I sold the KE20 hubcaps too?

Thats just insane

Nah man keep this one original. I think the original ones should be kept og, while the ones that have already been messed around with should be modified. Thats one sweet KE25 anyway man. Cheers Tally

Bloody wicked man, looks insane.

LOL :D :lol:

RA28 celicas have solid roof lining. Would you go to a trim shop to get a roof lining copied/re-made?

Looks real neat man!!! You need to find the bonnet trim and paint the lower metal trim and it will look much better

Looks wild az man, but just needs to be lowered.

but the thing is. Would it have still been as overrated as it is if it was on the road?

lol mine was sitting for 17 years... Must be a KE25 thing. Or they just couldnt bare to see the colour and just hid it away out of sight :)

Haha looks exactly like mine except with BLACK INTERIOR!!! Looks wild man!!! Oi trust me the colour will grow on you badly just wait. If you need any spare parts let me know I may be able to help. Cheers Tally

Yea ill try and make it

Spotted this BLOODY MINTA KE26 Wagon on Saturday up at munno para shopping centre. Chased the old couple through the car park and waited for them to park. Got out and said gday and what not. They were real nice. Asked them if they wanted to sell their car and everything. Apparently I'm not the first to ask and they would only sell up if they had an accident. The man said he had no reason to buy a new car as the KE26 was "JUST LIKE NEW". Spoke about his for a bit and told him that I had a coupe. He told me he liked the coupes but needed a wagon and that’s why he bought it way back in 1974!!!! I’m telling ya this thing was overrated!!!! Never seen one in such good condition. I was so spewing!!! Before we finished talking he started it up and it started first go with absolutely no cranking noise at all!!! It was so quiet and the interior was immaculate. Just reassures you that there are still some real gems getting about. It’s just a matter of looking and luck. And hey its better he keep it and look after it like it should be. I know what id do if I got hold of it: Slammed on whitewalls with a sick sound system lol. Cheers Tally

I actually think it wont look that bad at all. Will look very JDM. Love yoru celica dude. Cheers Tally

would be one of the two that AJPS imported Look bloody sick in two door

Havnt seen it. would love to see some pics

Let me guess, GTAIV? :POSTPICS!:

charl, I see you got that front apron Me want it! Did you get it off ebay? How much? Wanna sell it? Project is coming along good man, will look sick once done :POSTPICS!: Cheers Tally

I did this in my KE70 without taking the dash out. Was the biggest pain in the ass. had to partially dismantle the dash but it was still a huge bitch to get it all out.

Hey guys Thanks for the input. Appreciate it heaps. Ian, its all good man, I should have checked my brakes first but I was in such a hurry i thought theyd be the same as KE20, KE25 are similar in so many ways. Teddy, thanks man, yea i love the mirrors also, were really easy to put in after I realised that there is a groove in the inner guard, and that was after I drilled a hole 2cm away from the right spot lol. Have also chucked on my Nardi Steering wheel aswell. Should be good once I tidy the interior up. Looking for black seats and door trims to suit. Would set off the interior. Progress is going to stop for a while, back at school and yr 12 is proving to be very challenging so have to concentrate on that for the time being. Charl, same to you dude, yours is looking insane. Once mine is done for sure, thats the whole reason I'm doing this. To have fun and just cruise it!!! Anyways ill post some pics up hopefully on the weekend. Now back to that design assignment :rocknroll: Cheers Tally

Havnt checked that man but will do next time. Well had some bad luck with the brakes. Turns out that the ke20 calipers I bought of Ian are different to the Ke25 ones. The caliper is a totally different shape and the bolt holes don't line up and miss by about 5mm. As a result my car did not make it to All Japan Day, and as soon as I got to the show I was so spewin lol Ahh well what can ya do... heres a pic of how it looks now after I put all the trimming back on. Cheers Tally

Thanks Ryan I sorted out the carb yesterday, it idles now, but just a tad to high lol. Just have to adjust that, and I'm done with the engine. Just got some front brake calipers off Ian this morning, hopefully fit them 2moro and I'm all set hopefully. Was driving it around the farm yesterday, drives good but it pulls to the left heaps, might be from the seized brakes. So yea see you guys at the show :yes: only problem now is I gotta learn how to drive manual :y: Cheers Tally

Ok So I had a bit of problems with the carbie today. The engine dies as soon as you let go of the throttle. I had my mate press the accelerator peddle while I tried to adjust the idle speed screw. I located the idle mixture screw as well but I had a feeling that what I thought the idle speed screw was in fact something else, the fast idle speed screw. Buy the time I had mucked around with it, the battery had gone flat from starting it excessively and the sun had gone down so I packed up and went home. I asked my dad and he said yea you were adjusting the wrong screw. He said leave the idle mixture alone for now and just wind out the idle speed screw until it revs high at idle and then work your way down till it idles at the lowest rpm. This was what I was trying to do but I was mucking around with the wrong adjustment screw. I didn’t see the other screw until after I gave up lol. So that is where I'm at. I chucked on the front apron, bumper bar and taillights as well. I also went down to u-pull-it again and got the ke70 throttle bracket that fits onto the rocker cover. Works ok but I need a KE25 one as the cable slips out of position when use it. Anyways still a fair bit to do. Not sure if it will be ready by Sunday. I guess you’ll know it is if you see it down at the show. Cheers Tally
