OKE055 Posted May 2, 2011 Report Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) A few pics of my new 55 i bought of a friend recently, 1980 KE55 Toyota Corolla 4k 3speed auto extractors and exhaust (only mods) 52,000km Very little rust (2 small spots on the edge of the boot lid) Very straight Interior is very clean with a few small scratches on the passengers door card, and 1 small crack on the dash. Future Mods: Lowering throwing around a bit of paint and getting some detail under the engine bay. 32/36 weber and a cam. Fit my personalised plates (OKE 055) The only mark on the interior!

Guest Casey-G Posted May 2, 2011 Report Posted May 2, 2011 Clean as! and a 4 door, i learned to drive in one of these when i was 6! Much love. Quote
OKE055 Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Posted May 3, 2011 Yeah i learned to drive in one of these too, its the same as my first car i bought when i was 16 and had it for 11 years before i sold it (with regrets) so when i found this one i had to get it. Quote
Guest Casey-G Posted May 3, 2011 Report Posted May 3, 2011 We paddock thrashed ours, i get kinda sad about it now, it was overrated, bought it with rego for $200 and we absolutely farked it over the 8 years we had it. You have a good find, i reckon its in good hands. Quote
OKE055 Posted May 4, 2011 Author Report Posted May 4, 2011 Got around to doing a little bit of painting today Quote

OKE055 Posted May 4, 2011 Author Report Posted May 4, 2011 Maybe I'm kind of missing my old ride and would love to have it back again, but the evo with be back on the road soon. I really want to leave this reliable. The fastest it will get will be a efi NA motor. maybe a beams 3SGE. Quote
OKE055 Posted May 5, 2011 Author Report Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) Was a little bored this arvo! Oil patch is from a VL not mine Edited May 13, 2011 by OKE055 Quote
OKE055 Posted May 13, 2011 Author Report Posted May 13, 2011 Just a small up date got myself a 32/36 and i had an old 42/88 cam lying around so I'm throwing that in at the moment hopefully ill have it up and running in the morning and try and get video of the idle up. After fitting to my ke70 wagon my mates were convinced i had a 12a under the bonnet. Quote

mhmills Posted May 19, 2011 Report Posted May 19, 2011 Sounds like you installed a horse in your engine, it gallops pretty loudly. Quote
Des Posted May 19, 2011 Report Posted May 19, 2011 How does the cam go with the auto behind it ? Quote
