Thanks for all the generous coments and yes It is up for sale for the right price of course isnt everything... considering offers over $8500 also if there is any one heading into the "cooly rocks on" event this weekend in coolangatta it will be down there somewhere so keep an eye out for it ;)

just putting out the question, how much my 1970 Toyota Corolla Ke11 coupe would sell for? the following has been done to the car; # Brakes upgraded to ke55 items front disks and rear drums, and all breaks just had a major service on them so stops on a dime! # Suspension has all been redone with new shocks and kingsprings in the front rear leafs are new items as well with new shocks aswell.. all bushes have been replaced aswell. # Steering has also been improved by the steerbox being rebuilt, sway bars fitted front and rear, new pitman and idler arms. # Engine is no longer the 3k, its got a 7k in it that had 65000 klms on it with dellorto dhla40, match ported inlet manifold, and extractors with the 5 speed box behind it, runs extremely well. # Interior has all new carpets, seats are all in good orginal except the drivers has a tiny bit of stitching opening up, sound system all hiden extremly well, 5 1/2 inch splits in the custom fiber glass kick pannels, rear parcel shelf has two 6inch 3ways and a 12inch sub, amplifier is under drivers seat along with the head unit so the dash still looks original, under the passengers seat is a dvd player which has the sceen in the back of the glove box so it can still function as a glove box, the dash has been redone also and steering wheel 2pac painted same as the car. # body work is good with some small bubbles coming through on the doors and a little on the boot. click the link to see the pictures, its the last corolla on the page ;) http://www.rollaclub...e/page__st__120

well I'm using a 3k starter and have for over a year and it works great.

That build ^^^^^ is awesome love the supercharger setup

Wow bro this is going to be awesome really good job keep it going :y: :y: :y: :y:

I will be starting a supercharger setup on my 7k as soon as I move home next month, I already have a most of the parts, sc14, intercooler, blow through carby, pipe work, surge tank and pumps. But what I want to know is what would be the best diameter exhaust, hotdog, muffler ect to run on this setup? (already have extractors) Thanks for your help :y: :y: :y:

I was also thinking of installing a visor, but should probably get the rust in that f@#$ing door fixed first :bash:

Yeah and it all depends on how long you want this build to take but if you have the money and time good luck with it.

Those fronts are tucking nicely now good job, and yeah I would love a 3sge sitting in my ke1x too

that could work i guess :hmm:

I am also doing a similar setup on my 7k in my ke11, I will be running twin blow through carbs with a fixed supercharger pulley running off my gilmer drive pulley kit so there will always be boost. Say if you have your supercharger is setup to run 10psi @ 5000rpm this will mean for every 500rpm there will be 1psi of boost, So in this case at idle there would be no more than 2psi which means the spring in the BOV will have to be really soft to take any unwanted pressure off the throttle butterfly or carby. I'm not sure how this will affect the performance of the BOV at gear change or shutting of the throttle at 5000rpm or higher. Not sure if this has actually answered any of your questions but thats my two cents :y: :y: :y: good luck with it mate.

very good job here mate and all I can say is you can't really put price on how much fun you would have driving this awesome car? think about it before you sell it and its one of a kind :y:

Top job to you, your dad and your dads mate :y: This is a very neat and tidy build keep it up and the final product will be outstanding :P

Yeah nice work mate keep it going, soon you will be able to make us all ke70 - ke10 cross member conversion kits :y: :y: :y: :y: :y:

I'll be purchasing that mag just for those piks pitty it didnt have a write up, but well done with all your progress and keep up the good work its inspiring for the rest of us :y:

very exciting looking forward to seeing the build, awesome job :y:

Yeah I have actually thought about widening the stock wheels which I might do put some better rubber than what's on there now and of course get white walls again.

Yeah cheers you guys may have changed my mind about the whole wheel thing, I would really like to waken this 7k up or save some more money for Rwd 20v, I just don't know what to do there is to many options.

Yeah thanks for all that info guys, I think I'm going to do it correctly and stay with the current stud pattern, but I can't decide if I should run flares or not what are your opinions? The wheels I'm going to purchase are a set of superlite rims 15x7 fronts and 15x8 rears, and tyres will be 185/50/15 fronts and 205/55/15 rears (thats with flares) or 195/55/15 rears and 175/50/15 (without flares). this is what they will be going on and I'll keep the standard rims and get the rears widened incase I want to run down the strip in the future.

yeah good point I have spoken to some wheel distributers over the phone and one of the guys uses them on his car. the ones he uses are from the uk and the standards are a lot then australias standards and he has never had any clients have any problems and either has he except when you get caught by the :fuzz: I guess thats the risk you take.

Just wondering if anyone has used 4x110 to 4x100 wheel adapters 1inch thick, I know they are illegal but so are spacers and I know of heaps of guys running spacers. Is there any performance problems with running adapters?

Hey Mate good progress keep it going will be awsome when its finished :y:
