Trent-KE30

hey my bro purchased a kmh ke20 speedo, and before he wacks it in i was wondering are the cogs in the gearbox the same for mile and km/h? cheers Trent

Hey St.nick a guy called BradW did it to his KE30 I'm pretty sure he is on these forums if not he is definately on ToyMods, Cheers, Trent

I was thinking the same thing its a bloody cheap and clean looking 2 door, Love those globe wheels :)

Have a look at this monster, looks to be pretty clean little 2 door, http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...bayphotohosting

Lol where to start well my first corolla (75 KE30) was too dodge to think about well here goes -VS commodore door handles #lol# -all light surrounds black ( looks dodge to me) -sigma steelies with chromie hubcaps -bumpers painted purple and lots more, Trent

Yeah that might be correct, I'm a brand whore so imho it should have a Toyota motor by default :hammer:, I say do something different like GTNicKK was saying, SR20 in KE30 has been done, but if your on a budget then its up to you, Just something to consider, Cheers Trent

have you considered a toyota motor, Just a thought there are lots of good toyota motors to put in KE30's, 1GGTE? cheers

Our BMWs do that, its real handy :cool:

Ah thanks Kangas, Do you have the part number for the Pedders lows for the KE30? Nevermind just found them :)

Howdy, Now i apparently need new struts for the front of my car, (suspension place said they were f@$ked), and they feel it its all spongy and not that great to drive, Also i will be getting the leafs reset in the back very soon, so i was wondering what are some good lowered springs for the front i can use?, Kings?, I'am not a huge fan of cutting my springs or anything dodgy like that, money is no problem :) so hit me with some suggestions, Also what places stock struts etc?, I'am in Tamworth and there is a lack of suspension shops. thanks guys, Trent

Hahaha, as SJ said why not throw something a bit tuffer in there?, maybe a celica diff?

Lol righto, its only a daily driver to get me from a-b

Ah i see, KE3X and KE5X Diffs Are Interchangable arn't they?, I am yet to crawl under it to check the quality and amount of oil it currently has, (still getting spiders out of it :paw: ), Thanks for that Jamie :jamie:

Howdy, Does the K-B head come with the duel carbs? I'am unsure of how hard these would be to come by?, $200 sounds cheap to me, what's the quality of his work like?

Lol yeah thanks for that Nick, i have a pet redback that hides in my boot he sadely got :jamie: this afternoon :paw: Yeah i have been told Redbacks can be dangarous,

Lol does that fix it, or you just taking the piss? Also would they knock it back for rego in NSW?

My KE55 diff whines when you drive it, what does that mean, not enough oil?, wheel bearings f@$ked?, whats the easiest remedy, i heard people used to stick banana peel in there back in the old days to stop them from whining when they were trying to sell a car :jamie: Cheers

Well well well, i purchased an average condition KE55 81 Model Now it was sitting in an alleyway with grass up to its doors, as you can imagine spider's found this paradise :paw: Now i have the little f@$ks crawling everywhere, huntsmans, redbacks, black hairy things, you name it it's likely to be sleeping in there somewhere, I was just asking for some other things people have done to get rid of the f@$ks, i know letting a bomb go and shit and nuking it with fly spray :jamie: Anything else that will keep them away for good? i plan on getting the car registered soon as a daily driver, and i don't want spiders crawling across my dash while I'm driving lol, Cheers Trent

I'am not sure SJ said something about it, maybe he can shed some light on it?

Hmmm interesting you say that because alot of people said you can't

So is it true that you can use the girlock caliper with the sumitomo disc like you said earlier, cause Superjamie said i couldn't?

I reckon that my brakes on my car are sufficient for the 3K power, i don't drive like a dickhead therefore my braking is fine.

Lol yeah what superjamie said =) They didn't get that hot and the main reason i never transferred the ke55 ones is that i just got my discs reconditioned and new pads.

Hey Guys i got my hotwires on. heres some pics http://members.iinet.net.au/~rjmckinnon/mags1.jpg http://members.iinet.net.au/~rjmckinnon/mags2.jpg http://members.iinet.net.au/~rjmckinnon/mags3.jpg http://members.iinet.net.au/~rjmckinnon/mags4.jpg http://members.iinet.net.au/~rjmckinnon/mags6.jpg http://members.iinet.net.au/~rjmckinnon/mags7.jpg Tell me what you think, Cheers, Trent
