Ke20me's Ke10 And Ke11 Corollas
Nice! That white one looks the part :dance: Have you moved house Henry? :y: From what I saw last time I was there picking up some KE2x parts, you had a shed full of parts :hmm:

We actually can't buy anything in from Coventry's (as stupid as that is) considering Motor Traders is part of Coventry Group Limited. I could probably source bolts and things through Champion though and for stud kits, I can get them through ACL.

What Grinds My Gears.
As much as I don't want to say it, if you snooze, you lose and in the end she wasnt really worth it. Build a bridge, move on and find a decent girl worth the trouble, not one that wants her hole filled by someone she isnt even in a relationship with. That right there should tell you a lot about a girl :dance:

Got 'em at work champ. Come into Motor Traders at Norwood and ask one of the guys or speak to me (Michael) about deep sockets. Better still, When you walk in the door, look at the tool rack on the right as we have them on there. :dance:

Ke Corolla Factory Wheel Specs
should be 5 or 5.5 wide. 4.5 seems a little too small..

Raven's Ke25 Corolla Memorial Rebuild - Now Parting Out
The flares set me back $250 delivered from a guy in the US who makes fibreglass copies off his own metal flares. He's on ebay a fair bit, so have a look around for him :D Regarding scuff plates, I'm not turning my project thread into a discussion thread. When I've done this last lot of dash pads, I'll look into it and see what I can come up with regarding scuff plates for the KE1x/2x models.

Try a Kinetic-style Deep socket :D

Spotted
Thought someone might spot me if I parked there. I was at the Royal Adelaide Show, so free parking for the win! Also saw your white KE30 with the hektik stockies on the back :D

Ke20 Brakes
Try changing your brake pads to something like Bendix GCT's :D
-
Ke25 Lowering
Definitely replace your shocks. They're obviously way out of their operating range and you need something thats a shorter stroke to work effectively.

Oil
Being an automotive parts interpreter for Motortraders (Coventry Auto for those who are in WA and QLD), our biggest selling brand of oil is Fuchs Titan. The mechanics swear by it and its a good price too. Titan Super GTO or Titan GT would be my choice on the motor at hand, considering the amount of km's its done, a 20w50 or 15w40 weight would be the grade of oil I'd choose. Anything thinner and its just going to burn it.

Ravens 'other' Ke25
Because Melbourne and Adelaide are more awesome than Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Darwin and Canberra :P

Ravens 'other' Ke25
Spent today pulling half the motor down to replace the head gasket. The reason it popped was when the head gasket was replaced by the previous owner of the motor thats in the car, they had decided not to scrape the stuck on gasket off the head and block surfaces and also to not torque the head down properly. All sorted now though. :fuzz: Just have to adjust the tappets a little more with a warm motor and it should be sweet :fuzz: Next on the list is to replace the shock absorbers, lower the car and throw in the weldy :fuzz:

Spotted Mitch parked on Walkerville Tce last night on the way home from work.

3rd Annual Great Ocean Rd Cruise!
Sounds like a plan. Last time we met at the Mobil on the corner of Glen Osmond & Portrush Roads, stocked up on food/drink and left from there, which was by far the easiet way to travel together, which I think would be a good idea to stick to the same thing next year.
