bernieboy are they actual TE27 flares?? that thing looks awesome!! I'm just curious because i have some te27 flares for my KE25, but if you have used other flares that don't require the KE25 guards to be cut id be interested in getting a set. i'll get some pics of my wheel fitment this weekend. my wheels are pretty well flush at the back, but stick out a few mm at the front, 14x7s not sure of the offset. ill get a pic with the SSRs fitted as well.

What Raven said. Everytime it really rains hard or I wash my car I get water in my plugs and have to dry it out or the engine goes like shit.

Toymods have a cruise in August to the Jenolan Caves, it would be awesome to see some corollas there. http://www.toymods.org.au/forums/showthread.php?t=60317

nice one!! id love to go over to Japan or the US and pick up as many dashes, grilles and fender mirrors as possible. they are only going to increase in value/rarity as time goes on. but if i had my time over i think id seriously consider importing a genuine jap TE27.... i still might do it one day.

nah I'm still working on getting that part. do you know what the other 3 guages are for?

ok i went and picked up the minilites and the stud pattern was wrong so cross minilites off the list, oh well ive still got a set of SSR MK2s sitting here :) me and a mate finished put in the TE27 dash tonight, i didnt get any pics during the install but ive got to put in better backing lights so ill get some pics of the back because one plug was a bitch and seeing what my mate did will help anyone who does this in the future this is the front of it anyway, its missing one light cover but besides that everything works edit: damn it i only just noticed the little black thing in the middle of the covers is missing!!

Love the car and I love that you showed the old owners how good it looks now. id be stoked if I got to see one of my old corollas all restored back to its original beauty, I'm sure you did make their year.

^^^ Can you post a pic of your board collection?? Transformers are dope too, do you have the OG Otpimus with the trailer that opens up?? I can't remember what it opened up to, but I remember I got that Optimus after I finished learning how to swim when I was a toddler, I hated swimming but I loved Optimus so mum had to bribe me :-) Ive skated for a good 12 years now and one thing ive always regretted is not keeping some boards, but when you average a new board every 2 weeks its a bit hard to collect any, they always end up being ridden. when I was a kid I had this desk that was litterally covered in the most awesome old school skate stickers you've ever seen, it was a hand-me-down from a family friend who skated and if I could get back anything from my youth it would be that desk. i still remember the old powell stickers and bones brigade and all that class shit. damn, I'm gonna have to skate tonight :-) in my spare time I skateboard, dominate call of duty on xbox live, go fishing or enjoy some food and beverages at one of the local pubs. I don't really collect anything anymore but I used to have a shitload of Manga videos, that was before downloads and DVD.

hey mate i got the flares off a guy on this site (.T.) and the lip off ebay. I havent even test fitted any of them yet so I'm not sure how the quality is, but ill have my car back tonight so ill test fit them this weekend and let you know how it goes. so yeah ive finally got my blue slip done, it was a pain in the arse and i vow to never let a car get to the blue slip stage again. hopefully ill be picking up some 14x7 minilites this weekend and finishing off the TE27 dash install.

the horns arent part of football, they are part of south african sport. maybe instead of bitching about sports you don't like you should concentrate on things you do like, because all you've done with every post in this thread is show your ignorance.

does anyone know if TE27 tail lights are a direct swap for KE25 lights??

1 x KE20 1 x KE25 1 x camry I plan on owning an old school celica and some sort of old school toyota ute at some stage.

looks awesome man, i can't wait to see the finished product.

i always thought they were KE25 garnishes. ive seen the other styles and I like the ones ive got the most so they are staying, I'm not trying to build something thats got every perfect part (although that would be sweet) I just want a cool corolla to drive on the weekends and take on the occasional cruise. speaking of cool, I just got some TE27 flares delivered :-D and the 25 is at the blue slip man right now being inspected

new tailshaft and gearbox are in and they feel so much better than the old worn out pieca. engine has a bit of a flat spot which hopefully we'll get sorted today, then i just need to take a look at the brakes because they feel spongy and if I can sort that shit out it will be going in for a blueslip this arvo :) we ended up taking the tacho dash out for now because the speedo was playing up a little but that will definitley be installed as soon as the car is registered. ive got some TE27 flares currently in the post that I should get tomorrow and they'll be put asap and then it will be lowered, and driven as much as possible..... i don't plan on driving my camry for at least a fortnight once the corolla is registered this is how she looked after a good clean last night: the cream 20 on the left is my old corolla that is now my mates, his boss (the workshop owner) is going to turn it into a 2 litre race car, ive already bet him a case of jonnhy walkers that I can lap it faster than he can so I know ill get at least one run in it lol

my old KE20 with 3tc and T50 came with a weigh bridge printout that said 860kgs, I'm going to go see the new owner in the next couple of days so i'll try and get a scan of it. this KE20 is being turned into a race car so I should be able to find out the weight after ripping everything out as well i should have my KE25 back this week. its got an NA bigport, T50 and T series diff so ill weight that sucker and let you know what it comes out at. I need to know the weight anyway because I want to piss off the rear sets and get it registered as a two seater, so it would be nice to have a before and after weight to compare.

I seen this yesterday. The starlet is awesome!!

nice one gav, I think I seen your car at an Al Palmers show a couple of years ago... .if its the one I'm thinking of you are a very lucky man. The only corolla I like more than a TE27 is a KE17.

there is a forum just for the 3TC engine, I can't search for it from work but it does exist and there are some crazy tdrag cars on there. I'm sure ive seen an TE7x corolla on there that is tubbed. also youtube turbo 3tc and you'll find something

thanks for clearing that up Hiro. I always knew what heal and toe was and I just assumed when people said "double clutching" thats what they meant. Double clutching sounds like double the work so I can't see how it would be quicker unless you had a gearbox that needs it... I've driven my ke25 with no clutch (the cable snapped) before and I definitley didnt master it (a blown T50 proves I suck) but I did notice that if you shift at certain revs it shifts so quick and smooth its crazy..... taking off from a stand still was another matter though.

only possible risk is DANGER TO MANIFOLD!!!!! besides thats its all gravy baby.

I still like the look of them, I'm not going to buy one but I'm not going to buy any new toyotas... or any toyotas made after 75 for that matter.

I hate spiders!!! I'm the biggest pussy when it comes to spiders. during summer I had an incident where I jumped in the shower and half way through showing I turn and there is this HUGE huntsman on the shower screen about 2 inchs from my face. I trapped it in the bottom of the shower and drenched it in oven cleaner, then I went to work. I got home that arvo and it was sitting in the exact same positition so I assumed it was dead but when I went to flick it in the bin the f@$ker got up and charged at me... I swear that spider waited all day just to use its last bit of life to scare the shit out of me, and it worked.

it comes down to luck. I paid $1500 for a slightly damaged KE25 with 4AGE (haltech ecu), brand new diff, wheels, prelude seats, 2pak paint job etc. And i had to pay another $2500 getting the panel damange repaired and painted. So it has cost me 4000 for a corolla that I wouldnt sell for double (because I love my corolla) Based on that your car would be worth roughly negative $1500.

i don't like the name but I think they look decent enough, lower it with some nice dished wheels and you've got a sweet people little people mover. I think they'll sell like hotcakes if the price is right.
