  2. New To 4 Cyl , Let Alone Corolla'S

    in Automotive Discussion

    Posted

    + KE36 vans and wagons.

     

     

    don't forget the wagons!! :laff:

     

    I prefer the Ke36/38 look over most other rollas unless its an earlier model, especially if its a wags like a ke26 or something!

     

    I love the ke30 and the ke55 too. Anything from this generation corolla can be made to look sweet.

     

    Good luck, hope you find a nice one!

     

    Cheers,

  5. Interior Light Not Working. Help!

    in Car Electrical

    Posted

    The wire going to the switch has no power. Globe has been tested and is fine.

     

    The problem I had when trying to follow the wires back was that as soon as the wire enters into the rest of the loom (wrapped in black stuff) I have no idea where it goes.

     

    I will try and have another look...

  6. Interior Light Not Working. Help!

    Hi,

     

    As the title suggests I have a problem with my interior light. It's not working at all.. not in the "on" position or the "door" position. The strange thing is that it used to work fine. It just started playing up one day and now it has stopped working completely. I never knew how much I used it until it was gone!

     

    I have checked the fuses and they look ok. Also have tried a different globe but there is no power getting to the light switch at all as I have tested it with a multimeter.

     

    Does anyone know what might be the problem?

     

    I know it's a very broad question and it would be hard to answer without looking at the car but I am getting really annoyed with it as I have tried I can think of... Just after some ideas really..

     

    Cheers,

    Loving it! Big wagon fan here.. Really like the work you have done so far. The paint has come up great!

     

    Globes should look cool too, but not sure if i like the front lip. Looks a little odd to me.

     

     

    Keep up the good work!

     

    Cheers, Chris

    Well. Thought I better do some kind of update since my this beast got nominated for rolla of the year haha! *cough* vote for me

     

    HAHA no seriously though I didnt expect that at all and cheers to anyone who nominated/voted/got mad love for this little 38. It has really inspired me to keep at it and someday hopefully I can be nominated and actually have a chance of winning! This car will not have an engine conversion or any big money spent on it unlike many others. I plan to keep it on historic rego which means it must keep its 4k and more or less everything standard. Rims are allowed as long as they are similar age to car (mine were built 1980) so thats all good. Plan on fitting my 28/36 DCD Weber under the stock air filter, do some engine work including a cam grind, maybe some head work etc. Then also would love to do a full respray in white at some stage in next couple of years.. For now though just enjoying it and doing a few things here and there.

     

    I have finally finished my headlight upgrade with some new bulbs and fitted them all up. Wow, what an improvement! Can see so much better at night and the signs light up properly unlike my old lights which were pathetic to say the least.. but I never knew how bad they were till i got these! And the best part is it only cost me 55 bucks.

    yeah pretty much should have done this conversion before i bought wheels. I reckon 14x6 with the same offset would be about right.

     

    Just can't bring myself to changing wheels anytime soon so the struts are for sale.. just going to get some new bushes up front and slightly firmer springs should be sweet with my standard struts.

     

    Edit: would ae86 struts be any better suited?

    A few things been happening with this. Got some struts out of an rt133 corona which I planned converting to adjustable coilovers, but after test fitting them I have decided not to go down that path. The extra track it creates at the front, and 14x7 offset 0 wheels is just far too much for the front of this little thing. Tried it even with unrealistic camber (more than camber tops) and there was still too much wheel outside of the guards and looked stupid. Can't really think of any way around this? Other than different wheels which is not an option. Possibly different hubs? Heres some pics..
