That product in the link you provided is going to work out pretty expensive when you factor in an ecu to go with it too. Would be looking at upwards of $3k once you factor in computer and then the tuning etc. There is factory ecu and injection gear available you just have to find one to buy. Would be much cheaper than that link product.

I went and looked at one for my brother in law (it was a coupe) and he wanted $1500 for it - firm You couldn't even get in the drivers door because apparently it had rusted shut!! This thing was like swiss cheese, even the bumpers were all rusted. It was hardly even good for any parts except the motor. I made him what I thought was a reasonable offer and he said he was firm :jamie:

We might replace the exhaust and in which case you are first in line. The one on there looks in reasonable condition. I wouldn't want you to hold your breath though :jamie:

I just entered then sent another email explaining I have no paypal or credit card. I can pay in person or money order prior to the day no problem :jamie: Let me know which one is most appropriate.

yes but the ones being advertised for the prices I mentioned are far from awesome :jamie:

So I come on here and every ad I see for a KE30 - 55 series is in my mind wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy overpriced. The latest one I saw was advertised for $3500 :jamie: Is there something I am missing with these wonderous machines or are the sellers dreaming??? :lolcry: I am yet to see a completely awesome example for sale either :y:

touche :jamie:

I have a similar story with a KE20 my brother in law bought. Not running so towed it back here. Check for spark, none apparent by use of screwdriver touching lead - check wiring is correct and firing order correct by referencing to my KE11. Everything seemed to be in order however still no spark. I inspected the points, they looked a little worn, gapped them properly as they were closed at all times, still no spark. I had a spare set of points, took less than a minute to replace, cranked over with screwdriver in hand (except forgot to use an insulated one) and sparked hard and went straight up my arm!!! Mental note to use rubber handled screwdriver next time. I plugged lead back in, threw some petrol down the carby and boom started first pop!! Not bad for an engine which apparently hadn't run for 6 months. These things are so simple I love them :jamie:

You really do post about some dumb shit hey? First it was drifting videos of your own Corolla then you whinge coz someone else hit it. Worse still then you will expect sympathy when another bad thing happens to you Please give up at cars :jamie:

I think he was taking the piss about his exhaust having pretty much no muffler due to being rusted out Cush - you can have the rear exhaust section from the KE20 I have here. I will swap your KE20 for it :jamie:

My bro works there, I know they do not have anything for KE20 :jamie:

How can you tell is it written on there? Excuse my ignorance please :jamie:

Finally took some better pics of my Enkeis. I don't know about you but it looks to me like more than 3 inches of dish in a 7 inch wheel :jamie: I can't wait to fit these suckers :y:

I have a full set of these :jamie:

Dude that exhaust is what is making the noise... I haven't looked under there yet but I can tell you it is well rooted it rattles around and shit!!! Been like that since I bought it too and there is an exhaust leak...umm plenty of other things wrong too. I am going to get extractors and replace the whole exhaust so the rattle hasn't really bothered me just adds to the character :jamie:

Felix how much wider are we talking on the KE2x diff?? Roughly :jamie: And are all KE1x diffs jap or how can I tell if mine is somehow different

Well I didnt see one at Elizabeth either as I went there same day :jamie: No worries will have a look when it is cooler, no one is crazy enough to go there in this weather :lolcry:

Ok I am about to do this so thought I would open it up for discussion and hopefully get some extra things to add to the FAQ/Knowledge Base This is how I currently understand what to do: Front Use KE55/70 backing plates, hubs and discs calipers etc to change to 114.3 pcd, this requires some drilling of the holes on the struts of the KE1x only to enlarge them for larger bolts on the KE70 backing plates? Rear Use KE30 axles with a few mm ground off the spline end to shorten them so they fit. A few questions though: 1.Are there two different types of KE30 diff (thought there was) and if so which axles are needed for this conversion 2. What is the width of a KE30 diff, if it is similar to a KE1x why not throw the whole lot in 3. Is there anything else I am missing regarding the front setup? Any other tips would be great as I have some rims in 114.3 which need to go on!!!

Well it's too hot to do anything today so I bring you another KE15 I found on net, way to ruin it I say http://images.google.com.au/imgres?imgurl=...N%26start%3D378

I have been searching for info on this car ever since seeing a pic on here. So here you go, for those looking for info on how to mod KE1x series. Though it doesn't actually say much about mods to the front suspension really which is what I was hoping for http://autospeed.com.au/cms/title_Circuit-...90/article.html Can't get the link thing working so copy/paste :lolcry:

HAHAHAHAHA its only goes to 99,999 miles, I am guessing this is her second lap - definitely not the first :lolcry: Yeah take her around the complex every now and then to keep her warm!!!

Funnily enough my AE82 steering wheel fit on my KE70 and then fitted onto my KE11. They obviously have the same spline pattern all through however not sure on the length of the boss.

Are you joking a wrecker will give you $50 for it, they will only pay what they will get for scrap :lolcry: Just sell it to someone for $100 if it is that emotional for you :jamie:

Looking good Ryan good to meet you tonight Hope you like the new addition to the shed, take it easy on her she is an old girl :lolcry:

If you see it tomorrow let me know if it is manual or auto? Thanks - if you do see it I will be even more annoyed with myself for not seeing it today as that is why I went there :S
