emu Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Is there any written history of early Australian Corolla models/basic specification ? I've tried Specialist Motoring Bookk Shops and libraries, but can't find anything Perhaps someone could tell me,or show me where to find , detail on when engine and gearbox sizes changed during the progress of KE10's through to KE70's, and the dates involved, also when wheel/hub sizes changed, also when 2 and 4 door/coupe/wagon/van options were sold Possibly there's a web site with this info,but ,again, I havent found it Thanks Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emu Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 maybe just ask your specific questions here I'm sure someone will know  ok thanks guys, just a couple of questions, how many different engine sizes between KE10 and KE70 ? When did they go from 4speed to 5speed manuals and from 2 speed to 3 speed autos? When did the hubs change from 100 pcd to 114.3 pcd, and have all wheels been 13"?

love ke70 Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 there was the 1 litre K motor first up then the 3K 1.2L then the 4k 1.3L was all the ke corollas ever saw. there is also a 5k available from other cars that will bolt in. 1.5L and a 7k from hiaces 1.8L Â i believe up to the ke20 series they were 110, and after that, so ke30 onwards they were the 114.3 13's i coudlnt tell you and 5 speeds were never a given, just became an option later on in life, not sure how late. i know 55's and 70's got 5 speeds as option, and i think ke30 did too??

mattress Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Philba is right KE1X had the 1100cc motor. Â KE1X and KE2X were 12' wheels, later models being 13'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 ke10/15/16 had the K 1100cc engine ke11/17/18 had a 3k  think the ke35SR coupes were the first corolla to have a 5 speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
