KE25 KID has msn too. PM me if you want it. not worried bout u guys. just the pyshco randoms is all :D

Saw a AE112 today pretty sure it was soulsearchers, same colour and wheels. if anyone knows if soulsearchers no. plate starts with XKK-??? then it was theirs. looked pretty good. A few KE70's and my mates AE80 gettin round at my old high school. seems the old rollas are startin to get popular with the younger driver (P platers) me included. maybe cos their cheap and you can give them a floggin and they come back for more, like mine. CHEERS Ryan

YAY some body wants to check out my car :D but don't get ur hopes up, just a standard 25 except for the wheels and the bodys in average condition scotty (PMP_020) knows what i mean. but ur all welcome to have a look. and if you want to go on a cruise when your 25's on the road i'll be up for it. mine may be turbd by theb hopefully :hmm: CHEERS Ryan

do you mean whats it there for?? CHEERS Ryan

Hmmm, i'll drive to vic and get it done then say it was legal when it was done if the :hmm: po-po ask :hmm: i'll just dump it at the diff, it shouldnt be that much of a hassle anyway. OR i could run zoomies from behind the front wheel?? :D CHEERS Ryan

Ryans KE25 and sparkely are 3 words that don't go together :D i might beable to get the bumpers a bit shiney an possibly the paint if i polish it but don't get your hopes up. CHEERS Ryan

I'm very certain i'll be making it for the whole thing, plus a bringin along a mate with a AE80 hes a member on here aswel (stocky ae80) but only joined up last week and is prety keen for a cruise. CHEERS Ryan

right at the bottom of the carb on the strut tower side. the screw itself looks the colour of brass and has a spring underneath. when i did mine this morning i screwd it in till it sounded like it was gonna conk out (because your just about stoping the flow of petrol) the screwed it out (counter clockwise) 1 1/2 to 1 1/3 turns. now the tacho and pertol gauges don't race each other :D Also ho do you check the points gap?? CHEERS Ryan

SWEET, just found how to properly set up the mix. mines been running rich ever since i put the KE30 carb on it. cheers raven. CHEERS Ryan

yeah we deal with laser cutters thru work so i'll see if i can get it done thru work. its more like 4 flanges, 1 for the dump, 1 for the turbine inlet, 1 for the oil supply and 1 for the coolant. so if i can't get them laser cut i'll get them CNC machined at tech skool. i kno they can be mild steel so it makes it easy, do u recomend a certain thickness? i was lookin at bout 1/2in thick and the thread on the studs doesnt go down enough for a flange to be much thinner. CHEERS Ryan

NICE. love the fact from the outside it looks bod stock. any idea how much it all cost?? CHEERS Ryan

Damn them defects there every where. there should be enough room under th arse end of a 25 to go over the diff, hopefully. CHEERS Ryan

i wasnt talkin bout sizes for a turb 1.6 just what id be doin. and bout legalities i'll dump it before the diff and keep the original muffler pointin out the back to make it look stock. CHEERS Ryan

$1.50 A LITREeventually we'll be able to tell whos rich and who does servo drive off by looking at whos on the road :hmm: but seriously it'll be this price for around 2 weeks :D someones really gonna be makin money, i want some :hmm: CHEERS Ryan

yeah there are the fast ones and the hunka junkas, just like any model of car. CHEERS Ryan

yea mate, looks like i'll be doing the manifold like that then. saves alot of hassle. thanks for ur input, greatly appreciated. (taz rx) where did u get your turbo flanges from? the turbo i got doesnt have any at all. if i can't find and i'll mill some nice thick ones up. and KE ping it real, i had a look at that before but its a bit much for my budget keep in mind i only paid 200 for the car, i'll probably do what taz did and convert a hi-lux airfilter box. but thanks for the offer anyways. CHEERS Ryan

well they don't lock up or anythin just that the left rear drum is leakin i lil and the front right disc or caliper make a weird noise sometimes and a little bit when I'm goin round right hand corners, might be the wheel bearing. but anyway wrong section to be talkin bout this, back to cruisin. CHEERS Ryan

yeah thats where i wanna mount it, being a ke25 theres free space there anyway so i wont have to relocate the battery like some people have to with later model rollas. i might try Paramount Browns on cavan road for the steam pipe, plus where i work i can get discount for things i buy at paramount. I'll be doing all of the fabrication work at tech school so i'll have all the stuff i need. so does mig welding the headers while heating it up with an oxy torch sound like the way to do it? CHEERS Ryan

i got the late model grill on the rolla tonight all i had to do is make up new mounts as the early grille mounts were about an inch out. the only thing is that the bonnet just touches the center of the later grill. I think it looks aiight now and i put the headlight surrounds from the early grill aswell and as the later grill sits further out it removesthe bugeye look that the early grill and surounds have. all up I'm happy in the swap, not a straigh over swap but it will fit. might be able to get a pic of the front. are the early grills uncommon?? CHEERS Ryan

dam good find, wish my 25 was that straight body wise but hey, i paid 200 for it whaddaya expect. looks real good in that colour with them hot wires on. i might put my put my mates hotwires on cus I'm tired of my 14" 'rona wheels scrubbing every time I'm at full lock. haha. CHEERS Ryan

OK had a decent look at the space where i wanna mount the turbo and theres NO way I'm gonna fit where i was thinking. So what i'll boe doing is cutting up a stock manifold and weld it to a length of mild steel exhaust pipe (possibly steam pipe if i can find some) and bend it up so the turbo is mounted in the space on the passenger side opposite to where the battery is on the drivers side. this should make fabricting a turbo dump and manifolds easier. any ideas where to get cheap or possibly scrap steam pipe in adelaide?? CHEERS Ryan

jsut do what i'll be doing when i set the turbo up, straight 2.25" from the turbo dump thru a single muffler and dump it before the diff or out the side infront of the rear wheel. CHEERS Ryan

hi guys, will try to make it to this as it will be my first cruise and wanna see what adelaide has in the way of corollas plus its a good excuse to get out on a satdee night. just hope my brakes don't screw up. CHEERS Ryan

has anybody tried swapping and early model KE25 steel grille for a later model plastic one? I swapped mine over and just letting people kno that the mounts on the body don't match up with the mounts on the grille as theyre out by about an inch each side. atm mine just using the center support and the two metal tabs from the lower apron. will make and fit new mounts hopefully tomorrow. also does anybody have problems with the bonnet hitting the top of the later model grille? have been told that the early model metal grilles are fairly uncommon, can someone verify this? so at the moment the grille isnt for sale if you were gonna ask.
