Sweet, Thanks Vinnie

Thanks mate, I might just make up a nice polished alloy box and hide the lot!

What I would like ideally is to have a bare engine bay that has as least clutter and wires as possible. I want the car to go as best as it can and the bay to be tidy and clear. I am putting in an alloy container for the wiper bottle, alloy container for the overflow, a thermo fan so I can get rid of the belt fan and housing, custom battery box to hide the battery and wires, so what ever I can tidy up and get rid of, the better. Any suggestions?

In Canberra I have registered several corollas with extractors and webers, they don't have the gear bolted up but I have never bothered to clear out the polution gear so thats why I wonder now.

I guess I should clear things up a little, Can I totally clean up the engine bay from all the little hoses and crap or does some of it need to stay? If so then why? and what would happen if I just rip it all out? I don't particularly care if it's technically "Legal" or not. If it serves no purpose when it doesn't work with extractors and a weber then I just need to know if I can rip it all out or whether there are some hoses/stuff connected to seperate stuff or not.

Oh ok, I have a 1981 Ke55 with a 5K put in it. If it doesn't work with extractors and a weber then what is the point of it taking up meaningless room?

So what does that mean? The picture is out of focus too. And how is the polution gear supposed to run when I have extractors? There is no fitting for it like on the stock exhaust manifold

Hi guys, I have just had my exhaust done and I will be changing the carbi to a 32-36 weber. When this happens, the polution gear will obviously need to go, what stays and what can go though? Can I totally clean up the engine bay from all the little hoses and crap or does some of it need to stay? If so then why? and what would happen if I just rip it all out? Cheers - Twitch

Hi all, I am trying to get a set of rims and I am wondering what the offset is that I can push a set of rims to, and if anyone can explain a little about what offset is then that would be great. Oh and is the PCD on the Ke55 114.3 or 100? Cheers, Twitch

Hi all, Can anyone tell me what stud pattern measurement I have? I have a 1981 Ke55 and I am after some nice wheels, also what offset should I look at? I'm not too familiar with all of this.

Sweet, that helps ALOT. Thanks guys

C'mon, Someone should know???

Hi all, I am changing the Carbi on my 5K to a weber. On the rocker cover there are 2 hoses that seem to connect to the current carbi. When I change the Carbi over to the weber (and later the super charger) the weber won't accomodate these hoses but I am sure that they have a use. So.......what do I need to use/do to this change over to maintain the current hose use? And what are they for anyway? I have looked through my workshop manual however it doesn't seem to hold a section on it. Cheers - Twitch

Hi guys, I am in the process of trying to buy some extractors, however I have notices that there are two different types. Can anyone tell me whether the 4-2-1 or 4-1 extractors are better for a 5K, and if so why? Cheers, Twitch

Thanks guys

Hi all, I am in the process of working on my 5K motor. As it is a new 5K I am looking at working on the head, putting a supercharger on it and putting a different cam in it. I am after a fairly lumpy sound and I am interested to know whether replacing the cam is a home job or a mechanic job. I have reasonable techical experience i.e lowering suspension, changing gearboxes, changing carbies etc so I need to know what is involved in it if I attempt it myself, also what needs to be changed along with the cam or will it just slip in? Cheers, Twitch

Yeah I think it was the SC12 from the 4AGZE. Thanks guys

Yeah mine were 20mm but I have a diff from a 2wd hilux in mine. I told the guys what I had and the guy who makes them knows about EVERY single diff from cars. He went right into the 2 different diffs that the Ke30-35-and 55 had, explained where they orriginated from and why they were chosen. He knows way too much about his job! but hey, it's good for us!

There is a company called air ride suspension i think, anyway they bring in blocks for all sorts of rollas, and all inch sizes, I got 2 and a half inches for my Ke55, they cost $85 with U bolts, diagram and next day delivery. The number is (03) 9729 5556 Website is www.airide.com.au

Hey all, there are a sweet set on ebay at the moment unless they have been removed

Tsk Tsk

sure is

Hey guys, I am finishing building my Ke55 project and I am after a supercharger that I used years ago but don't know what the name/model is. It was fitted to the left of a 5K and ran off a pulley and was turned on/of via a clutch system. The clutch system was exactly like a choke cable, I pulled it out to turn it on and pushed it in to trn it off. Any ideas? I have seen a Toyota SC14 blower but I don't know if this would be suitable or whether it is too much, (photos below are the SC14). Anyway any suggestions would be great! Cheers - Twitch

That's great but where do I get replacement ones?

Hey mate, If your interested go to http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ke30-corolla-2-door...=item1e5a5f92d3 It's still up for auction,
