corolla_nut Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Another rolla! Bought this one off a guy on here a few weeks ago. Name: Kylie Car: 1976 KE30 Motor & Driveline: 3k 4 speed, fked points, electrical probs we haven't had a chance to fix seeing as though we've been chasing weird and obscure parts for a vacuum leak in the ke55 Suspension & Brakes: front : Stock as far as I know, haven't had that close a look as i've said ^^ Wheels & Tyres: Factory ke70 wheels, tyres? My car has tyres? Lol!! I dunno, haven't had that close a look at the tyres. Interior: Mostly stock and original. Dash is ok, only a couple of small cracks, brown carpets and trims. Body: Yellow/Mango. mismatched coloured panels which I'll respray once i've finished the ke20. Need to sand back some bog that was dodgily applied in the sills 2 owners ago. Need to adjust and align the front panels as they're aftermarket and don't fit quite right. Need a front bumper. Other: :dance: number plate held on with zip ties. LOL!!! Just ordered some rear number plate lights off ebay as I only discovered how annoying and bright the no plate lights are without the little metal shrouds the other night when I was driving home behind robert.

Mr Hardware Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Name: My name or the car's name? I used to call it little champ Car: Well i sold it over two years ago, but here it is anyway. October 1980 KE55 Toyota Corolla Sedan Motor & Driveline: 4K-C replaced with a 4K. Reco'd 5-Speed Stock Manual. Suspension & Brakes: Yes. I believe there was. Umm, leaf springs. Oh the axle tramp. Wheels & Tyres: Stock 13" Steelies with Chrome trims, polished every fortnight with an old singlet Interior: Usually pretty clean, but not always. Body: Straight, repainted May 2006. 'Devil Yellow' - A new-gen Holden Monaro colour. Got it off the table for $50 at Protec in Geebung lol, painted it in a paddock. Cut all the rust out and filled it with plate and bog. Other: It was a good car. I was the 5th owner. Still had the original owner's manual and sales brocure in the glovebox with price written on it. And cost of the 4-speed to 5-speed upgrade, it was $135 if i remeber correctly. Has a few special features, like a kill switch, floor mounted high beam switch (like an old holden) a head unit and tempramental 6-stack CD Player out of a VQ Statesman. I owned it from June 2004 to July 2006 and put 24,000 klms on it. No matter what i did, it seemed to never change from doing 11.2L/100klms, which used to frustrate me no end. I probably should have overhauled the carby. The speedo is always out by 10ks, it over-reads. ie, if you're doing 60, it says you're doing 70. For some reason it really liked a new set of spark plugs every oil change. I used to run 25W60 oil in it to stop the rattle at startup in winter. Headlights were pitiful. Whilst owning it i replaced brake master cylinder, water pump, clutch and accellerator cables, drivers seat (the base snapped - i'm only 70kg!) and a steel fuel line. Used to ping if you tuned it perfectly, you just needed to retard the timing a few degrees. *Put pictures here* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benzo Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 anyone got a pic of a ke30 4 door with 16 inch roh rims? Cheers, Ben. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
never Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Got my new tyres and decided I would go for the white writing on the outside. In my opinion it looks really old school cool. The tyres are yokohama y352s, also got a weber 32dgv put on. Put a rebuild kit through it myself but ended up getting it cleaned up and fitted by a professional. Very happy with the result. The driveability has improved dramatically, the sound is awesome and it starts better even though it now has no choke. So anyone cruising around with a standard carbys, do yourself a favour and get a weber! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
