  5. 4k Stumbles When I Just Put My Foot Down

    in KExx Corolla Discussion

    Posted

    went for a drive in my yellow 55 today for the first time and i noticed when I'm just cruzing along and i go to put my foot down if i got straight flat to the floor the engine seems to stumble and wont run smooth it only does it once the secondary butterfly on the carby opens..

     

    my question is.. is this normal for a stock standard 4k?? or is there somthing wrong somewhere??

     

    thanks

    ok so today i went on with pulling the ke20 to bits the plan is to get it to a bare shell no suspension or anything and build it all up from scratch repairing or replacing everything that needs attension,

    so i started on the interior first pulling out seats, carpet seatbelts all pretty straight foward stuff then got onto the dash :D :bash: spent about half and hour trying to work out how it comes appart ;) ;) its a bit different to the 30-55's i am used to so eventually i got that out then started on the outside, grill, lights, bumpers all that kind of thing pulled off the passenger side front panel :n: :n: guess what??? RUST :( :( :(

     

    that splash guard thing is completly rotted out and the end of the sill has holes in it :(

    so next was the front so off came the lower guard and the sump guard thing both pretty straight lower guard was just painted over didnt bother about getting the paint chips out from the origanal color :hmm: :hmm: :hmm:

    but then i saw the radiator support.... :n: :n: not good :( so I'm not realy sure how to fix it yet any ideas??

     

    so after seeing that i turned to the drivers side pulled off the guard and....... :y: :y: :y: :y: noooo rust :( :jamie:

    Rather pleased about that :yes:

     

    the other bits of rust are spare wheel well has a tiny bit and a bit just after both front doors on the bottom of the sills and one chassis rail has a tiny bit aswell

     

    does anyone have any ideas how to repair the radiator support it is really really rotted out inside

    heres some pictures of rust :sob:

    Late model champ.

     

    Wel;l, the tail lights and bonnet say its late model.

     

    What year is it? 71=72 had a flat bonnet, 73-74 have a bonnet like you have on yours.

     

    i was told it was a 72 but i never really had a look i will check tomorrow

     

    *edit*

    just checked the rego number on the internet according to transport tas its a 72 model

    little update

     

    got the little car up onto dads hoist today just to have a look underneath looks really good other than a few little spots

     

    at the very front one chassis rail has a little bit rusted out

    both sills a tiny bit of rust at the back

    front radiator support a little bit aswell

     

    are these normal spots for one of these??

     

    they shouldnt be hard to fix all out of sight so it doesnt have to be perfect anyways

    cheers

    Mate the bump stops are available from most late-model toyota's (Camry, FWD rolla, Corona etc)..... :hmm:

    They bolt straight in :y: and are usually in excellent condition too. :y:

    I can have a look for a badge for you......postage would be expensive on any other items :lolcry:

     

    Hope that helps

    Cheers, Dougy :dance:

    ok yeah if you could have a look for that badge that would be super

     

     

    I think it's great to find a car in this condition, all the best with the work on it :)

    Just make sure you finish your other project first but then again car's are never finished..

     

    Johno

     

    haha yea cars you can't ever say they are finished but I'm sure i wont be anywhere near finished the ke20 for a long time
