cuzzo Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Your Ke70 looks so clean! I love that photoshopped picture. Being that low might not be ideal but close to would still look great. Nice ride buddy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleRedSpirit Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Very Nice, :hmm: I'm jealous that you have 2 door ke70s, let alone 2 of them!! I really like the engine stand you have, a chair! Those BBS rims make it look like a little BMW. Keep us posted. Are there many other corolla fans where you are? I see you have a Corolla Club of Finland sticker on the window? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7shades Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Nice project... coming along quite well. Nice to see you are using proper parts and equipment instead of the home-made death traps we see over here far too often. I was also thinking E30 Alpina when I saw the wheels... they actually suit it rather well. Oh and by the way... f@$k you Toyota Australia for not giving us the 2 door Corollas the rest of the planet gets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ae174agze Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 i think the word you are looking for is "strut" yeah nice as car, if u can get ur car that low that would look awsorm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daxman Posted April 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 (edited) Thanks a lot for the comments :wink: I will write more when I have done more modifications, yes I think the strut was the right word :yes: Yes we have Toyota club of Finland, biggest Toyota club in Finland. 4door Ke70 corollas are pretty rare nowdays in Finland, hope I found one which would be in nice condition... KE70 was very popular teen car in 90's in Finland... nowdays luckily enthusiasts are building badass KE70 projects also in Finland, my friend has one KE70 project with 6 cylinder 5M-GE engine, block from the Toyota crown, and 24 valve cylinder head from supra :no2: Here is picture of typical 90's style Teen-DX :lolcry: Edited May 1, 2008 by Daxman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiP Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Very nice are you have. Love the mods you have done, it makes the car look really hot. Its funny how here in Australia Toyota released the first Corolla's as 2 doors only then not until the 3rd generation we got 4 doors. Then with the 5th generation (KE70) we only got 4 doors. Seems we just couldn't have both. Keep us posted with the updates, I'll be watching :rocknroll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
