frasian Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) hey i recently just brought my 1st car its a 1973 corolla, not many here in perth as ive found out i got it from an old lady 1 owner its in overrated condition full service history and minimal rust all is stock she recently put a new exhaust because old one rusted out. no cracks on the dash i opened the ashtray to find its near new lol, all chrome is near perfect I'm exstatic about the car and the price i got it for all is liscenced for another year its just an allround awsome 1st car I'm looking for ideas for setups so far ive decided for a ke25 grill beacuse i think it looks much better, if anyone has one lying around id be glad to take that off your hands I'm looking for some thin spoke wheels to make the car look lighter, but not sure what wheels fit the 4 stud pattern, ive heard rx7 serie 1 and 2 wheels fit and cortina wheels from ford but I'm not sure about that.. ? re-spraying it white original colour redoing the interior old school with the external rev counter and woodgrain steering wheel, recarpeting it all seats have just been sent in to re-do in black i just brought another ke20 manual for conversion its got new windows new lights back and front, the previous owner brought all new stuff to fix it but never came around to doing it, the other car is just everything i was looking for and he only wanted 350 for it, except the panes is all rusted out but the the engine i wanted :) so yeah I'm open to all ideas at the moment for it i just need inspiration to see what else to do with it engine wise I'm pretty happy with mine I'm taking it from the other ke20 i brought its got a 4k head, new 2 in exhaust extractors and radiator as I'm about to get my p's i don't want a big engine just yet as ive heard the hammer with the stock engine anyway haha anyway here are some pics down at my dads workshop Edited September 2, 2010 by frasian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJT036 Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Wow!! That is one really clean Ke20. I'd leave it Auto. All you need to do is just stretch the Diff Ratios out and put in a Worked 5K. Try and find yourself an Exterior "Granny" Sun Visor for the Windscreen and you'll have a "Grandma-Spec" Ke20. Josh :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doogs Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 nah I'm converting it to a manual, more fun to drive Couldn't agree more. Auto's belong in Magna's and the like or Drag cars. If you are interested in some period mags have a look on this site for a few ideas; Link. Some of them take a bit of tracking down though..

white_sandshoe Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 wheels you need will be 4x110 which is the same as mazda. Cortina won't work, as they are 4x108. What's happening to the other shell once you've pulled the bits you want??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's happening to the other shell once you've pulled the bits you want??? ahh ok thanks ill be over to see mr mag in morley for them as he has a good amount so hopefully ill pick up some nice ones :yes: would a multi fit pattern fit the 20 . because if i can't find what I'm after that would be my other option :yes: with the other car id wan to make my money out of it so with my stepdad/panelbeater we will be cutting the rust in rusted parts and sell wanted parts such as interior trim like seats and stuff and others such as fenders, doors, boot, only thing imma need is engine diff and transmission so yeah if your after anything i should be able to supply it.

Doogs Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Watanabes would be great, dunno if I'd go for a multi pattern personally. A lot of them look tacky.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiro Protagonist Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 You'd be hard-pressed to find multi-stud one that would fit, as they tend to be 4x114.3/4x100, as those two sizes are much more common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaygore Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 there is a website where you can get Watanbes made to the stud pattern and also you have an option of what size wheel you would like and they go upto 15's Unsure of the website, i can't remember it but someone has it on here in a post, i will see if i can find it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
