Kj's Corolla - Ke55 Liftback Deluxe - »»°frog 55°««

[JJT036]

The 7K came out in the KR42R Townace Van - 1998-2004. Some came with Carby's, some with EFI. They're a pretty Torquey motor too, so the power you're looking for will be there.

 

The 5K is also a pretty good answer. If you work it, you'll be impressed with the result. If it's not enough power, you can always just strap on an SC12/14 Supercharger on 5-6psi - as well with the 7K(-E). :)

 

Josh :cool:

Just get an Aircon bracket for a T series engine (if the compressors are the same)

 

Or an Aircon bracket and compressor from a T powered car, hook it up to the corolla's A/C unit, Done!

Is it really that simple?!.... hmmm might be worth the mucking around.. really set on a 2Tg modification..

[ninja-philbo]

just get the t series gear its really not that much to get new seals and gas put in and at least u can get new lines if u can't get it on with the stock ones its really not all that expencive

[KJ's Rollas]

Thanks, but I have decided agaist the 2Tg mod and am going to keep things simple.. after giving the FROG a big old tune-up on the weber and 4 hour cruise to the Yorke Peninsula and back for a car cruise a couple weekends ago, I am surprised how well it goes now and extractors make a bit of difference too! So to just squeeze that bit more out of her without going over the top, I'm thinking maybe a 5K or just get my 4k worked.. I don't want the FROG to end up in the impound... :P

Mate.

 

Top Job. I know first had how much effort goes into keeping this model on the road. Don't know about where you are, but here in Queensland, they simply do not exist.

 

This is mine that i sold to my brother in law a few years back.

It had a bigport 4age, supra box and shortend ford diff.

 

awesome car and i miss it terribly. So my advice is don't sell and don't crash. lol

 

Yours is the first one i've seen in years. Best of luck with it mate.

[KJ's Rollas]

Ooooooooooooohhhhhh MY MOTHER OF ANOTHER MOTHER.......!!!!!!!!! THAT's FRIGIN NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Same colour as mine too by the looks! Great to know there's another getting around OZ..!

There's only 2 others I know about here in SA - a yellow one and a red one, and not even sure if they are on the road anymore..

So who owns this beast now? Your brother did you say? In QLD?

I'm coming up to QLD (toowoomba, brissie and ipswich) in a couple weeks - would love to see this in the flesh if it's still on the road!

PM me and we can organise something!

Unfortunately its sitting in his yard and hasn't moved in a good three years. He was into AE86's at the time and wanted the engine and box. But then he joined a band, sold his Sprinters and bought a van to lug all his band shit around in. So its just sitting there rusting at his Dad's place. I've been tempted a few times to call a tow truck and steal it back. If only I had a decent shed to store it in. Far too rare of a car to just let sit there.

[KJ's Rollas]

Let me know if he's interested in parting with it.

I'd be keen!!

Can never have too many KE50's :D

 

KJ.

[20v4agteEL31]

yeah, i'll speak to him soon and see what he wants to do. I'm sure his old man would be keen to get it out of his yard.

[KJ's Rollas]

I've got a worked 4K with my DCOE weber to go in the FROG in the next few months :-)

and a new set of wheels now too, so my genuine Work Equip03 wheels may be up for sale soon!

Thats a beautiful Liftback you have there.

I recently purchesed one ,its all original and in poor condition.I am missing some parts to complete my restoration.

So if anyone got some parts for sale ,please let me know.

If anyone intrested i can get my hands on a set of new front fenders,new silver head light bezels.

Here in the Netherlands there are just a few left as well.These are rare cars,it would be nice to make a register how many are left in the world.

[B.L.Z.BUB]

*E5*'s are so cool. A TE51 would be cooler, MAKE A RIDE THREAD!

[KJ's Rollas]

Those headlight bezels you speak of were apparently available in chrome in the US and I soo want some!

Also I believe that tail light surrounds were available in chrome....!!
