KE30=LEGENDARY

oh right, i like the superbugs, mum had a white one, dad chucked out the whale tail it had and put a standard boot/bonnet back on it, it was awesome, cept getting punched every morning and afternoon at school being 6 and mum owning a punch buggy :P

ooh and on my spare parts beater, they cut those parts off the calipers to fit the meshies it had on it, might be an option too.

on my ke55, i can fit 16x8 38 offset on the rear, no rubbing, but the rim hits the strut on the front, having said that i can run 14x8 20 offset on the rear, and not on the front coz the rims fowl on the part of the caliper for air ducting... (the part that sticks out further than the hub.)

loves that beetle, also likes the fact that both l/h lights are faded, one would assume it was parked in a carport with a house on the rhs...hehe mums was the same cept the right was faded... this model is the superbug correct?

on my burgundy one, the fuel/temp dosnt work, till you press the brakes :P and on my white one, was when the headlights are on it died....lol bad earth I'm guessing too

ey, your vacuum booster's leaking, just like my leone :P

I'm in vic, but ive guards, bonnet and bumper for it if ya want em, bar's not fantastic, but its better than that one and if you buy the guards its free :P

an intercooler with a draw through is a no no, some people i know have done it, one worked, one didnt, cooler exploded due to it being full of fuel/air and the engine backfired... enough said. safe to say tom fitted efi the weekend after rick's one exploded. (it was an 18R-t)

cheers guys :)

hi, well I've finally got a ke55 thats not twisted, so my next question is: what are the diff ratios for the trimatic ke55, toyoglide ke30 and ke30 k40 boxes? I have three diffs and none of them have much slack, the one in the new rolla is a little noisy but has no slack, i put that down to lack of oil in it though, its all over the underside of my car :P but back to the question of diff ratios, as I'm putting a t50 and 4age in id like to know what diff ratios are on offer and what ones i have, note none of them have a tag stating ratios, but my old ke55 trimatic did 6000rpm at 120km/h which was rediculous... any help would be much appreciated :)

i want to buy the whole dealership, building and all lol retire and spend the remainder of my life mucking about with old corollas, and my leone of course

its not that I'm not motivated, ive been gathering parts for a 4age ke30/55 since i was 16 (I'm 21 now) all my projects aside from the rt142 i had have been completed, its just if the council is going to take all my stuff in my yard to the tip, then charge me for it, its going to suck more ass than a homosexual vacuum cleaner... lets hope the Verada and the leone wagon sell, then i would have room to take the cars off the front lawn, and council can bugger off.

cheers budowski, yeah the smallport is complete as it came out of the car, clutch through to a/c, p/s, fan belts, everything. so i guess if i can't find a shell before the council goes apeshit and takes all this to the tip, i could sell the lot for like 2 grand if someone wants it... hmm really don't want to get rid of it though, ever since i saw the old lady across the roads ke55 sedan when i was 3yo, Ive wanted 0ne. and since i saw an ae86, ive wanted a 4age, so its a very nostalgic project, bloody council.

yeah i was speaking too him, going to see it next weekend. i really wanted a sedan though. what do ya recon all this stuff is worth? council is on my ass about too many cars also

So I have neglected thinking of this for yonks and yonks, but now it seems it might be inevitable. i have 2 bent corolla sedans ke55 auto, 140,000K's ke30 4speed, 350,000k's red top 4age 100kw with loom, comp etc t50 and associated stuff like starter motor clutch system etc seeing as I'm broke and there isnt a corolla in vic for sale, or hasnt been for like a year that isnt bent or rusted out or 2 grand i am thinking of abandoning the project, what do u guys recon all this stuff is worth? the corollas are driveable and safe, just have chassis damage i didnt notice when i bought them (never buy a car at night) engine came from ae92 sx, heard running, done 145,000 K's t50 bought from here, the guy said he would refund the money if it was no good, so it must be, it looks in good nick. keep or sell? and if sell how much for?

i think the point of the holden v6 (rattletech) is that they are cheap as chips and are sort of powerful. thats why there are so many poor old rollas/120y's with this evil 1940 buick engine in them. hehe i should do the opposite, put a 4K and a manual into a VN, the shitter might actually handle with a lighter, and further back engine in it :P

cheviot's? look like the rims i had on my colt years back
