dingo ke55 5k Posted July 31, 2005 Report Posted July 31, 2005 Went out on the old rolla cruize in Adelaide on Friday, had a real good time meeting other corolla nuts and flying through the hills, things were going good. That was till i stacked the ke55 into the back of a ke 20, the 55 came off second best. Scratched the 20s bumper while i trashed the lhf of the 55. Pushed the lhf headlight back into the battery, folded the front gaurd back onto itself, smashed the grille and folded the bonnet. sob Later on i was chasing Scott A.K.A PMP020 when i blew the locked diff :P Managed to nurse it home complete with some new strange noises. I replaced the diff today, unfortunatly its not a locker :bash: also panel beated the gaurd and replaced the headlight looks ok, gotta new gaurd just have to colour match it and itll look as good as new. :y: Scott took pics of the mess so hopfully he'll post them up soon. Dingo. Quote
ScottKE1X Posted July 31, 2005 Report Posted July 31, 2005 Hey dingo, yeah too bad bout the car, seems like you were in the wars! good to see the enthusiasm getting it sorted out... what exactly happened to the locker? i didnt think it was possible to blow a locker! i thought it was usually your axels that get rooted... unless your welds come undone? just take it into work and weld it up again :P catch ya scott.

Its possible to blow a locker. Having destroyed three I know. Your lucky to be able to drive it home, all of mine involved all of the spider gears being in the bottom of housing :P Quote
