Hey everyone I would like to have another opinion or 2 as to what my troubles might be. I took my 79 corolla out last night and it seemed to be misfiring. But this was only for about 5 minutes of driving. When we got on the highway it come good. But it has done this twice or three times now, and I would like to know what you guys think it might be. Cheers 79rolla

Thanks altezzaclub. I will have a bit of a sus and see. It could be the voltage reg but not 100% sure. I know that is a common fail point. Cheers 79rolla

Hey guys and girls, I have some questions for you all. So i have a 79 ke55 and I am having a few troubles with it. The temp gauge doesn't work when connected, the fuel gauge has stopped working now after a while of working on and off. As well as the speedo doesnt work properly. What I mean by the speedo not working properly is that at 60 it says 60 by the speedo, but at 100 the speedo reads at 120. As well as the blue sheet on the back of the cluster doesn't like being tightened properly (doesnt let gauges work when tight) at what I believe is the regulator for the fuel and temp gauges. What could be the causes for this? Why is the speedo out? Why is the fuel gauge not working? Hope this makes sense for everyone to read. Cheers 79rolla

Ok i might try that now. I have gotten it to open a bit just don't know how far it will open at this point as I just swapped vacuum lines around. But I might try it. Cheers 79rolla

Hey guys just wondering what could be causing my 79 ke55 to shut off under moderate braking. We also don't seem to be getting full throttle with the vacuum secondary not seeming to open up. What do you guys think. I'm puzzled as to why its doing both of these things. Just would like to see what others think of it. Cheers 79rolla

Yeah thanks guys. Just wanted a idea as to whether you guys think they need to be replaced. Its both sides and they haven't been done in at least 25 years as the car has been off the road for about 25. Only just got back on the road and it never had movement or sound previously.. Cheers 79rolla

Hey guys and girls just wondering how much play if any should be in both front wheel bearings. Both seem to have some play (only a little bit) but has a audiable click when moving wheel at 12 and 6. Just want an opinion on what you people think. I can't attach video but want to know what is good and bad. Cheers 79rolla

Thanks parrot. I will definitely make sure that I am careful tomorrow arvo when I change the springs over as I have seen how far they can shoot shit across the floor. Cheers 79rolla

Hey guys just wondering how i take the coil springs off the front struts of my ke55 corolla. I have the springs compressors there but I have been told that it can't be done at home. Just wanting to know whether I can change the springs out my self without sending them to be done at a shop and costing a shit ton of money. Cheers 79rolla

Thanks parrot What I am thinking is just getting adapters to fit the parcel shelf Cheers 79rolla

Thanks parrot. Yeah not necessarily looking for it to look factory. Now I just need to find some speakers that will work. Cheers 79rolla

Hey guys just wondering what radio is could put in here. And what speakers will fit in above the fuel tank? Just wanting to know for my ke55 as I need some speakers and m looking to put in an aftermarket radio without cutting anything up. Cheers 79rolla

Thanks for that just wanted to know because i need to find one in aus as I need one. Cheers 79rolla

Hey guys just wanting to know whether a ke70 idler arm will fit a ke55. Because my idler arm needs to be replaced. Cheers 79rolla
