mikeys toy

can't lower it with the starlet struts and TE28 rear as the tires rub the wheelwells.

Hillman Avenger;

you have to pull everything off of it form inside the car then the shaft will be the only thing left. then you can pull it out from the under the front of the car. it's really tight, but it can be done. My KE18 has a TE28 rear, it's about an inch wider overall. I had been running the TE28 steering box, but I had this KE10 box that I THOUGHT was better. Now with the header, I don't think I could get the box back in. Post lots of pics of the "T" swap. I for one would like to see the progress.

I've decided not to scallop it, but I was planning to stencil "Toyota parts and service" with the old address and the original Toyota logo I got from Banjo

well; it IS gonna be flat black soon. I thought the bright mags would really go off with the dark paint. Plus; the front wheel beads are so rusty, I'm having a hard time keeping them from going flat, and they're bent slightly. mt photochop skills are nil, but here's this; photochop ................................................................................ ..................... me reworking the banged up and rusty door

No 5k were ever imported into the U.s. at least. You know, now that I look closer it does have the '70 KE17 lights, someone has put a '68-'69 KE10 or KE16 grille into it

I'm not sure if I want to run the mags; it looks really good with the steelies, but it looks really good with the mags. I'll let you guys make my decision.

Are you sure that's a KE17('70)? Looking at the front t/signals, side markers and grille, it looks more like a KE15 ('68-'69) I doubt you'll ever lose steering; there's really not much to break in there. I THINK the main problem with these early boxes is the pitman shaft bushing. I've had mine apart and I cannot find ANY wear on anything but that bushing. Good luck!

The retainer is broken on the bottom half where the snap ring goes. I'm sure I could still use it, but If I could get another one, I'd be WAYYYY happy. There was no such thing as a KE7X in america. The last KEXX corolla was in '77. Then you had the starlet from '81-'84. This is supposedly an '83-'84 4KE K60 and starlets are super rare, especially out here in hillbilly country. I work for a large auto parts chain and all the bearings I ordered were wrong. I called toyota and the only bearing availible was the front main one. No needle bearings, no shaft. I would be TOTALLY happy with good used parts, or if new ones are available, I would have to pay someone to buy them and ship them, (hint, hint) This is my bread and butter, 35mpgs 70 mi ONE WAY to work; it HAS to drive. Help me Tony; I think you're my last hope..... p.s. it's a ribbed case.

Yeah; All the other ones I've owned had either K50, K51, K52 on the bearing retainer and it was far different than this one. I NEED A COUNTERSHAFT! If anyone has a parts tranny lying around........ I'd like to have a countershaft, input shaft and bearing retainer if possible. price + shipping to the states, please.

Bit of understeer, eh? oh well, good riddance to bad rubbish :wink:

Nah; you need to trade me a pair of those strut tops for my electronic dizzy :wink:

I just pulled my NOISY K60 apart today to find the front main bearing VERY rough and the front countershaft bearing rough and the countershaft galled up. It's an oddball; not like the K50, K51s. The front retainer is different from all the others I've seen, and all the ones in the books. I need another countershaft, and maybe another retainer and input shaft as these are damaged slightly Shipping would be high to the states I imagine, so donations are being accepted.... :wink: Also; if anyone could tell me exactly what a K60 g'box is, please let me know.

1969 Dodge Coronet Superbee w/ a 528 crate HEMI and a 4 speed. Mashed the throttle at 40mph and it wound up the speedo like it was the tach!

problem is you picked the worldwide mecca for self-indulgence; VEGAS, BABY! come out here; people still hold doors for each other, wave at you as you pass by and you won't find porn here.

:P there are 2 early '70s fastback mustangs here in Alva; I was waiting until you came here to show them to you, but since you're in such a hurry to leave............

I put '93-up corolla coilovers in my '82 and found them WAYYYYY too stiff; how does this ride? Also; what did the strut tops cost you, if you made them, how much to make me some? :D

H2s suck donkey dick..... I'm embarrassed to be in the same country as them.

YUP! The only true American cars anymore are Saturns (yuck!) and Toyota, Honda, and Hyundai. Americans haven't been able to build a decent car since the early '70s

oh lets see......we were building hemi Roadrunners and sideoiler 427s back when you guys were building little ol' 4 and six bangers..... :P But seriously; I wasn't being serious, I don't care who did what. The H2s absolutley suck, go to www.fuh2.com for a laugh but you'd better come see me!

YOU HAD BETTER STOP OUT HERE YOU BASTARD!!! and also, australia COPIES american cars, dick.... :P

I got.....; '86 chevy nova (AE82) seats, custom carpets, custom doorpanels, VW Scriocco center console, VW rabbit (golf) guage panel, datsun 210 pedal pads, nippondenso '74 corolla TE28 a/c unit, repainted dash, dash pad cover, white painted guages, sunpro white face guages, sunpro white face mini tach, custom panels made to cover where the windows were, rear seat was removed and tossed then paneled and carpeted, custom sewed white pleather headliner from same '74 corolla TE28

you should'a put some dark sunglasses and an ak-47 in its hands.....

the Bosch one for the '83 starlet 4KE has the plate with the threaded o2 sens. hole. when I got my extectors, I just welded the plate onto the collector, then got a universal 1 wire o2 sensor.

I get the datsun thing all the time in the Cricket; it's made me hate 510s
