Ke3X-5X Silvia Struts & Brakes Upgrade?
B.L.Z.BUB replied to MichaelR31's topic in KExx Corolla Discussion
Lots of ke70 guys do it because it's cheap. But it ruins all your front end steering geometry. If you're gonna build it to be a daily I'd look at the xt option as it's far closer to the standard setup. If it's a drift hack track thrasher then the silvia stuff would probably do. -
Cul-de-sac Keep at it man, looks really good.

Saw an immaculate bamboo/brown ke36 in Clontaff the other weekend towing a trailer. Original spec down to the hubcaps.
-
Man, I love how he just designs his own tools or modifies existing ones for other uses.

I AM ERECT

Buy the wheels direct from Rota if you're going new. Flat rate shipping aussie wide, about $90 from memory.

Quick Question About An Adjustable Panhard Rod!
B.L.Z.BUB replied to zeph_KE70's topic in KExx Corolla Discussion
Depends on your wheels. Lowering your car without an adjustable will push your diff off center. So if you have wide wheels with low offset you may run into scrubbing issues. It's not a safety issue though. And the amount it'll move to one side won't be extreme, maybe 10mm max. Also look at getting one that can be adjusted on the car. Pretty frustrating dialing one in having to take it on and off till you have it right.- 2 replies

Ke70 Panel Van Dual Headlight Upgrades?
B.L.Z.BUB replied to rjenman's topic in KE70 Technical Questions
The panel van square fronts are slightly longer than the sedan square fronts. You'll need to buy all the hanging panels from the windscreen forwards off a square front sedan/wagon and bolt them on. Quad light brackets *should* bolt directly to the panel van radiator support but don't quote me on it. Could be a similar case like with slant front and the bolt holes are all different on the rad support. -
Yeah that's why I was trying to find the aussie seller, but I'm pretty sure he was just sourcing cheap units from China anyway. I paid $150 for my quad light setup from the US. Worked amazing with decent globes and bulbs.

This is in Hong Kong, can't find any cheap ones in Aussie. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/162076756853

Ke55 / Ke70 Gurus... Some Front Brake Questions
B.L.Z.BUB replied to rollababe09's topic in KExx Corolla Discussion
Pretty sure the late model KE55 had pretty much identical struts to the early ke70 with the top hat being the main difference. Both ran Girlock brakes. -
I couldn't be bothered even finding a modern fusible link holder. I bought the modern links at a parts store and made my own mount and wiring for them. Are you running a headlight relay kit? You can buy them on ebay for under $30 delivered.
-
Or grab a modern fusible link holder out of an ae82 or something.
-
The only larger drop in version is the 5k anyways isn't it? The 7k block is wider and won't fit the stock ke70 engine mounts? Or something like that.

Had a kinda similar thing happen, but over a phone. Dude needed a phone asap like right that minute, offered me $60, it was up for $130. Told the guy I'm at work till 4 so I can't get the phone anyway. Keeps offerering me more money every hour and harassing me to come pick it up asap. I just ignored him in the end till he offered my $100 then told him I would have accepted that if he hadn't low balled me in the first place. Then told him to get ʞ©$ɟed. Sold the phone for $100 the next day to someone else.

Got a few things done on my day off with no kids or missus around. Oil filter relocation. Put the stock fan back in Some cheap gauges, need a single din mount Painted 2 of the wheels, ran out of time to do the other 2.
-
If your annoying kid is gonna have a sleep over at my house pick them up when you god damn said you would.
-
Ohhhh can't wait!
-
I wish I had your tenacity for this kind of stuff.
-
Getting a KMAK grill tomorrow and painting the wheels on Sunday. Also blocked off the BOV for mad VL does, actually sounds good.
-
Nah, you need to weld on the ke70 lower spring perch and use the ke70 top hats.

Your English is better than most native speakers online. Awesome little car, so jealous of the 2 door.

Amazing work as always.
