Hey mate, I gotta ke55 HTop and have had the same issue. I resolved it by flushing the carby with cleaning fluid several times. I also replaced the sparkys. I suspected i had a bad batch of fuel or junk had got into the lines. Ive had no problem with the car for 6 months now and i even gained a little power. When in doubt go back to basics first....

This model is similar in shape and design. pillarless windows and check the grille. Its only for design purposes so anything that you can pick up and add to you ride is sweet.

You still stuck on red?

yeah ive got the KE30 front and rear bumpers on it now. I don't fancy the number plate lights, so i am hunting for an alternative. What do ya suggest then with the suspension?

Any one notice that the KE55xx hardtop resembles the GTS Manaro that came out a few years before. I spotted one on the cover of the latest,( i think ) Street Machines? Its a metalic Orange and chrome. Also the if ya seen gone in 60 seconds the mustang has spun me some ideas

Sorry to disapoint but "Steve" is going Black. There are no black KE55xx out there( well not in Brisbane that ive have seen) I'm going to get 16" black and chrome mags for it. Thats just after i lower it, Ive found that TTF in Bris does a good deal on kings, fitted.

Yeah I'm in Bris, sux when the parts are in Ipswich. Spent 2 hrs on Saturday digging in the crud out there for stuff. The KE55xx is rare as hens teeth now. I couldnt find parts in Bris. The corolla who is now named"Steve" ( steve austin, this one has been rebuilt better and stronger) is at the mechanics getting the check over for RWC. Lets hope "Steve" makes it or at least gets a couple of new bits.

Yeah, Engine work is on the cards the stock job that currenty haunts the rolla is very ordinary, but in saying that she paints 11s very well. I will take pics as i do work on it. thanks for your interest J

Tar, James Its getting registered on Monday so a mad rush this wekend to bring it upto code. Once "roadworthy"!!!. I reckon super low Kings with at minimum 15" deepdish rims. Ive got high gloss black in mind for the paint but with the price of re-sprays I'm likely to source alternate means. I will post some more pics once ive got it on the road. I will shift to the projects forum once i have some juicy pics. I reckon a bird drapped accross the bonnet will attract some attention!!

Picked up the KE55 for $0 the other day. Massive rust and front end damage. Have so far killed all the rust and have straightened the front. Have got chrome bumpers to stick on once painted. Need some design ideas as ive got a blank canvas to work with!!
