KE70-from-mt-panorama Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 jobs are awesome, i have like 200 a week now to spend on rum beer and beam and the corolla, its about 50/50 between alcohol and car ;P If your going to pubs you will need more than 100. Drinking at home is cheaper but not as fun. When you first start going out you survive on 50-70 at the pubs, but very quickly moves up to 200+ for a night on the town. My OMG is how much better the front end of my car looks now i actually painted all the grill, bonnet trim, etc. didnt think it would make it this much better.

Hiro Protagonist Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 My OMG... I figured out KE55's have round OR square headlights!!! Now the world makes sense... :) Yep, early KE55s have the round lights, late ones have the square lights. They changed a few other things as well - tail-lights, door trims, grille etc...standard face-lift really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought ke55 was one model and then the next model (after a facelift) had a different number? Wow, turns out I know nothing. :) Edited November 17, 2008 by Lexxi[ke35] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JiP Posted November 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Tho the reason the number was changed was cause the KE55 received an engine upgrade. Oh and today my rubber kit finally came for my hardtop :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
