You sure you don't wanna go with something like a 4k, More bang for your buck right.

KE30

Con's: Lack of passenger space in the back

Vynal seats

I have to agree with the passenger space in the back. I'm a tall person and when I drive my seat is all the way back. When I have passengers, I have to drive very uncomfortably so that the person behind me has leg room. There is no way that this car can be made into a 5 seater, I've squeezed 3 people into the back before, and I mean squeezed. I could barely close the doors and they were average sized people. Best keep it as a 4 seater.

 

Also, back then the KE30 was the smallest car Toyota released in the country. It would have been the equivalent to out Yarris today. A budget small car, small, basic and cheap.

 

As for the vinyl seats, I actually like them. I love the look. You kind of get over the coldness in the winter and pain in the summer (just wear a shirt).

i think there would be more bangs chasing 300 rwkw out of a 4k...

i think ill pass, ive got one sitting in a pile of oil as it is lol, wanna buy it?

its cheap, so thats more banging for less bucking :D

[7shades]

I don't pay any bucks for my banging.

I've always believed its fundamentally wrong to pay for something you can get for free if you just put a small amount of effort in.

[love ke70]

haha nah, I'm too much of a tightarse to pay for something i can do myself....

KE70, 4K, mild mods.

 

Pro:

Cheap

Indestructible

Light

Easy to fiddle with

RWf@$kenD

Good balance, good fun.

 

Find all of the above qualities in a newer car, and I'll buy two.

 

Con:

Old

Rusty

Require more frequent maintenance to remain reliable and roadworthy

Having to continually justify my choice in project vehicles to poser retards in R33 Skylines... I have the resources to buy their car, their funster boy haircut and their goddamn kidneys... with change left over give their girlfriend a proper night out... I choose not to.

 

Go the rolla.

 

7shades, once again you are correct. Keep on speaking the truth. :D

[78_7kRolla]

My ke30 7K

 

Pros

Cons

Old and classic

Gets a little warm in summer, read: no air-con

 

But it is a rolla therefore all it's cons are outweighed by infinite pros

[grandma KE30]

My KE30

 

Pros: Cheap as to run, easy as to fix, is 30 years old but the vinal seats are still good, and the dash is still completly uncracked and doesnt rattle, and the speedo is accurate still accurate (within 2km) at 110. looks great (have wanted one ever since i was six years old just for that reason). was owned by a little old lady before me and so has only done 120 000km, Handles great (handles about 1000times better than a mkII escort that i had before it... stuipid ford)

 

Cons: not the most powerful car in the world(stock 3k-c engine), the lady who owned it before me didnt drive it for 3years before she sold it to me so the engine is a little gungky (mega crank pressure) but its slowly cleaning itself out, new set of rings and she'll be right. I sit with the seat as far back as it will go and only just have enough room, but my knee hits up against the window winder and acutally becomes quite sore if driving for long periods.

 

all in all i love my car, its champion!

[Corolla1]

KE35 2 door

 

Good

 

Shape, design, pillar less, can take flogging, cheap to run and fix

 

Bad

 

Engine to small, brakes to small, thin panels.

[Gspec]

I love everything about my Rolla... except for the rust.

Its never really free.... you pay one way or the other.

 

:P

[simsey]

I love everything about my corolla... mainly because of its horn shape.

 

Its a 2 door, quite rare shape SE AE70

 

 

 

The only thing i hate about it, is the fact its still in the bloody garage in project stage!!!!
