If I could be bothered ripping the head off it, I'd port/polish and deck it a fair bit, as well as change to unleaded seats. Is it possible to put oversize valves in these things?

I hope it's just that, I'm going to change the clutch in it anyway, so I'll just get a full kit and do it. If I don't have to buy a new box, all the better.

It only whines in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and slightly in 5th. 4th is perfect though. And it's only when the clutch is out. I've blown a few diffs in my time, and it never sounded like that. Box still feels perfect though.

Wow, I can't believe people are giving this guy such a hard time. I thought everyone here was really nice and helpful, as 'AE70' was more than willing to help me out with my stupid questions. This is a such a turn around on that. AE70, you should be proud, you're what makes a club good. As for 'Racing Development', you have to start somewhere, that's the whole point of 'Development'.

Excellent, thanks for that AE70, you're a champion. Just one last question: Are KE70's stud pattern 4x114? I'm looking to just whack a set of 17"s on the wags, and drop it down a little, but 4 stud rims are a bit daunting.

I'll be 100% honest with you, my knowledge is pretty well all Holden, Supra, or Skyline based. :jamie: I know enough that I could convert to 4AGTE, or SR20, but I know nothing about different model classifications. Basically the existing box has a bit of a whine to it, the only downside that I could find with the car. Apparentally it's been doing it for years, and the box hasn't gone, but I just worked out via the log books that it's only done 18,000km in the last 3 years. I was a mechanic by trade, so I could easily change it over, I just need to know what boxes will bolt up, and if there are any advantages to other boxes. Haha, I'm so demanding :wink:

Does anyone know what the 5 speed box is in these beasts? Are they interchangable with Celica 5 speeds? Edit: Ok, just done some quick research. K50 seems to be the go?

Nah, this is my 'hiding from cops' car. :jamie:

Well, I recently got a job that required me to do 150+km's a day in peak hour traffic, and as I only have a very insane Commodore (It doesn't like traffic) and a motorbike (Winter+Peak Hour+Rain+Bike=Dead) I decided to find myself a cheap daily. My very first car (5 years ago) was a 4 speed manual brown KE70. Reliable as hell, did terrible things to it, yet it just wouldn't die. So, for a daily, I started looking at KE70 manuals. I ended up finding this (very first car I looked at actually) It's a baby blue colour 4K-C 1.3L 5 speed KE70 wagon. Full log books and service history (actually filled out!) from when it was new, one previous owner to me. Had rego until August, but no RWC. Ended up picking it up for $600.
