anastasios Posted October 4, 2007 Report Posted October 4, 2007 buy the series 4 dude, if its possible for you to buy it it will be better off in the long run Quote
flat out Posted October 5, 2007 Report Posted October 5, 2007 2 much work for a 16 year old. mate, I'm 15 and i have done every thing to my car, which i might ad is the same color as yours i have done an engine conversion, lowering, stereo, modified the engine, rust repair, painting, restoring of things, suspension, you name it its not rocket science, ask any one that goes to school with me I'm no brite spark. keep it mate it looks awesome and will drift with some decent mods, i would recommend going a 7 leaf pack over flipping your current 4, stiffens it up a shit load.

tas_ae71 Posted October 5, 2007 Report Posted October 5, 2007 damn straight Casey is a dumb shit, he struggles with lego... j/k yeah all the information is available on the Internet, just make sure you use google and the forum search engine at the top of the page before posting the in the questions section.. I would encourage you to get an RX7 IF you are sure that your able to afford the the insurance, and maintenance of owning a old sports car especially a old rotary turbo or otherwise. Quote
ke30 driver Posted October 29, 2007 Report Posted October 29, 2007 if your still interested in selling your corolla i might be interested Quote
DR1FT Posted October 29, 2007 Author Report Posted October 29, 2007 hey. . . ive decided too keep the rolla!! I'm still debating wether the modify the 4k with the 4speed box .. just like exhaust, extractors, carby and mayb cam, or too buy a 5k and try a transplant with a few mates and get one with a 5speed??? just thought id let use no lol Cheers Josh Quote
Sinate Posted October 30, 2007 Report Posted October 30, 2007 If you come across a 5k you mgiht as well put a 5speed behind it while your doing the conversion. Quote
DR1FT Posted October 30, 2007 Author Report Posted October 30, 2007 yeah thats what the plan is. . but i still gotta try to find a good condition 5k, if not i will prob just do the modifications to the 4k. Quote
Hiro Protagonist Posted October 30, 2007 Report Posted October 30, 2007 (edited) I've got pretty much the same colour too (Australia Post red), and I think mine looks better without lowering on 14x7s. Rally-spec FTW Edited October 30, 2007 by Hiro Protagonist Quote
Taz_Rx Posted October 30, 2007 Report Posted October 30, 2007 yeah thats what the plan is. . but i still gotta try to find a good condition 5k, if not i will prob just do the modifications to the 4k. Just for the record mate, do you realise that if you work the 4k, then everything can be swapped over onto a 5k when you get one!! Ie, extractors, carby and inlet mani (pending port sizes), you can even swap cams between a 4k an 5k!! :D Quote
DR1FT Posted October 30, 2007 Author Report Posted October 30, 2007 I've got pretty much the same colour too (Australia Post red), and I think mine looks better without lowering on 14x7s. Rally-spec FTW yeah but I'm getting too much body roll. . unless i hve stocks on the back. Quote

Pretty sure they came standard on all KE55s, at least the face-lift ones (mine does). I get bugger-all roll, but that could also just be rooted springs that have stiffened up Quote
