Corolla KE30 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 I have a 1975 Toyota Corolla KE30 2 Door, and it's been off the road for about a year and a half. I'm about to re-register it, but I need to know a few things. I think I need my brakes replaced; what brakes do I get (size and such) and how much do they cost? When a car has been off the road for 18 months, do I need someone to check it, to make sure it's roadworthy? I was driving it fine before I stopped driving the car, just want to know what will/needs to be done? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 I'd be changing the brake fluid and bleeding the brake system. Sitting for a year and a half, you'd more than likely have moisture in the system. Other than that, service it with new oil, oil filter, plugs, points if need be and go get it registered. No roadworthy inspections in SA as yet ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corolla KE30 Posted May 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) Also, suspension wise; I am thinking of installing new suspension, and was thinking of having it lowered a bit. What's the legal height for KE30 Corolla's, and how much does a lowered suspension cost? And I'm not doing the suspension myself, going to a workshop for that..

jono1986 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 I got my fronts for $70 each I think, and to lower the rear you either legally get new leaf springs which is I 'think' $180 or $280 or illegally by putting blocks in the back.

carbonboy Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) Legal height would be the same as any other passenger vehicle in your state. Check with your authorities guidelines, I'm in Vic so can't help you with South Australia. Google is your friend :) Or jono1986 might be able to point you in the right direction :wink: Edited May 18, 2011 by carbonboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
