man I'm so happy to get another rolla again $400 yeah

its a KE70 with a 4 speed and a 4k engine, but i will be swapping the ke55 5 speed gearbox and loads of other stuff like timing chain, cam, carby, wheels, list goes on

hopefully it will be pretty cool.

 

i hope front wheel bearings arn't hard to fix

man building cars on centerlink pay is a bastard

The KE55 box wont bolt straight into the KE70 unfortunately. You need to find a KE70 5 speed extension housing. Or modify crossmembers and cut a new hole in the floor.

 

I have a KE70 5Speed We can swap extension housings if you want. Since I want mine to bolt into a KE30 and you want one for the KE70. Just postage then.

 

Wheel bearings really are very very easy. And take all of 20 minutes per side to do.

I just got the ke70 manual and it looks like a piece of piss, sounds pretty good RB I'm going to be takin the box out this weekend so il tell you how it goes. I'm in c'town by the by

Maybe because it's late...I dunno....I had to read that 4 times before I realised RB is me haha...

 

and C'town by the by??? wtf

Well I don't know the slang names of every town in Aus sorry dude

don't worry mate you'll pick it up.

I'm in ambarvale

theres a pic i attached, i'll never figure out how to post them :cool:

 

hey that seemed to work... trippy

 

 

 

the bonnets black now, and I'm going to bring it lower to the ground the old fashioned way, coil at a time

chop chop

thinkin about new wheels or extractors and a new carb or lumpier cam

or swaybars and bushes.

the list goes on but unfortunatly the money doesn't

Did you paint the bonnet black so it drifts better?

That paint job in the picture above looked fine. So why the hell would you go and ruin it by painting the bonnet black???

how bout cause i can, plus the fact that it looks pretty cool

even if it does make me look like a dick

 

and drift? ha not without a better diff, and a five speed.

 

its a bit of a backyard bodgejob thing, but I'm going to do the car up good

- i don't really care what it looks like. ke70's arn't as good looking as ke55's. point of fact

Hey wait don't knock the ke70's it was produced in the 80's and does not have the rounded styling of the ke55. In fact if you wont to get pandantic the ke55 was like a halfway point between the ke30 and ke70. In a sense the engine and mechanicals are rather the same. The only difference is the stlying. I think ke70 are the bomb followed by ke30's 20's 10's, 55's are at the bottom of the list but that is because i don't think there was anything special about them. This is just my opinion but honeslty all rolla's are cool this is just my order of prefrence if i were to buy one. :S

i miss my old car

i saw a ke30 for $1150 in the trading post

manual with rego till march

 

damn tax check not back yet

 

hey I'm not saying their crap, corolla are in great.

and its true, the older the better, power/weight ratio never lies

and its true, the older the better, power/weight ratio never lies

 

Yeah, but the design of susp./steering is shit on real old ones imo. But if you're willing to do the work hell yes the early ones are so sweet looking.

Edited December 26, 200520 yr by boofis

I'm buying heavy duty valve springs and getting my cam reground, cleaning up the head getting extractors and exhaust

then il fix the suspension with swaybars bushes and lowered springs and new shocks

il get back to you guys then
