  1. Hi It sound like a retarted question but i just bought a rock stock Phillips casette player from a 1981 ke55/50 for $5 It looks like this I'm trying to hook it up to my 1977 Ke30 Does the wiring loom from my car clip into player or am i going to have to make modifications? Thanks *EDIT How about just a wiring diagram of the tape player? can't seem to find information about it
  2. Have you taken a look at the heater hose tap? There is a cable that connects it up, so its best to take a look, but the chances of the cable snapping is unlikely to impossible. The tap might have stuffed its O rings.
  3. I'm actually looking for an aluminium automatic radiator for a KE30 with three cores for under $200 I know i ask for alot but can't i enjoy my 70's econobox in the summer for less than the cost of rego? :down:
  4. Conflicted about what fuel to use In the handbook for my ke30, toyota recommends 90 octance fuel. Everybody i've talked to says fuel qualities has changed since the 70's and todays 91 is bad for the old donk. So everbodies vouching for 98 and the timing is set for it. Call me insane but i think i got more km's from 91 fuel. What fuel do i use? What does everybody else do?
  5. 4k is easy to get and putting the donk into the car takes one afternoon 5k if you can get one 7k for dat torque
  6. Its only worth what someone is willing to pay I'm not paying out the ass for a 1.6 litre RA28, because i think the TA22's looked cooler anyway. However ive seen an RA28 recently come up for 1200 bucks with only 2 bidders and hours left on the listing (unfortunately for me it was interstate) My dad told me one thing to remember about buying a classic, he said you will never loose money if its either a coupe or a V8 or both. I hate my KE30 because its a poor example of a Corolla but i got it at the right price that justifies the car, ive seen people successfully SELL KE35's for upwards of 5 grand because its missing a set of doors, but at heart its got a 1.2 or 1.3 litre dinky donk that struggles pass100 km/h.
  7. Did anybody buy one of the latest issues of Unique Cars? i wanted to buy it but had no money at the time and unfortunately when i wanted to buy it they already went to the next issue Specifically, it had a Japanese Buyers Guide that did valuations and reviews vintage JDM and its subculture and wandered if anybody could upload it Heres a picture of the front cover that i managed to salvage, i think it was issue 372
  8. Hi Clapped Out Wow, easier job than i expected, why didn't i fix it sooner? i can see what you mean now that you're putting names on things Heres where i am atm Looking at this plate, do i just untighten this screw i see and yank the whole thing out? *EDIT yeah, now i see why i didn't do it sooner The whole thing is awkward to get out, destroyed my rubber seals in the firewall (perished from age, handling them broke them apart) and its still going nowhere. Any suggestions to getting it out?
  9. Hi One of my heater pipes have corroded and leaked coolant allover my carpet At my school, we have oxy torches, can fix it in 2 seconds What is the easiest way to take out the heater in the least steps possible? don't really want to fix it atm because ive disconnected it for now but its really cold in the morning and at work in the evening so i feel i don't have a choice Pic related, my new carpet colour, dunno how to fix this but I'm laying a floor mat over it The offending pipe, this buttmunch ruined mah carpet
  10. Awesome I used to own a vr commodore wagon, i hated it because it looked gooby as but when i went to a subaru liberty sedan to a ke30 4 door, i actually miss folding up that rear bench for an extra 1/2 metre or so of space
  11. Slap a motorfix sticker on it and those meshies and you'll become an overnight e-celeb ;)
  12. Nice score, only paid $500 too for my ride but you quickly learn thats what they're worth lol Is it a manual or an auto? What issue did you get on the road? my car needed a whole top end rebuild and rebuilt cooling system to drive OK
  13. ʞ©$ɟ yeah thats cool mate Ive always loved the old muscle cars -- how much did you get it for?
  14. G'day guys I was looking at my ke30 buckets and thought that tombstones and lap seatbelts would make a cool old school interior style thats unique Anybody done this before? Also were there ever bench seats for these cars? that would be my dream for ultimate classic styling EDIT: Found what i mean, like HK Monaro seats -- no headrests
