Another rolla! Bought this one off a guy on here a few weeks ago.

Name: Kylie

 

Car: 1976 KE30

 

Motor & Driveline: 3k 4 speed, fked points, electrical probs we haven't had a chance to fix seeing as though we've been chasing weird and obscure parts for a vacuum leak in the ke55

 

Suspension & Brakes: front : Stock as far as I know, haven't had that close a look as i've said ^^

 

Wheels & Tyres: Factory ke70 wheels, tyres? My car has tyres? Lol!! I dunno, haven't had that close a look at the tyres.

Interior: Mostly stock and original. Dash is ok, only a couple of small cracks, brown carpets and trims.

 

Body: Yellow/Mango. mismatched coloured panels which I'll respray once i've finished the ke20. Need to sand back some bog that was dodgily applied in the sills 2 owners ago. Need to adjust and align the front panels as they're aftermarket and don't fit quite right. Need a front bumper.

Other: :dance: number plate held on with zip ties. LOL!!! Just ordered some rear number plate lights off ebay as I only discovered how annoying and bright the no plate lights are without the little metal shrouds the other night when I was driving home behind robert.

[Mr Hardware]

Name: My name or the car's name? I used to call it little champ

 

Car: Well i sold it over two years ago, but here it is anyway. October 1980 KE55 Toyota Corolla Sedan

 

Motor & Driveline: 4K-C replaced with a 4K. Reco'd 5-Speed Stock Manual.

 

Suspension & Brakes: Yes. I believe there was. Umm, leaf springs. Oh the axle tramp.

 

Wheels & Tyres: Stock 13" Steelies with Chrome trims, polished every fortnight with an old singlet

 

Interior: Usually pretty clean, but not always.

 

Body: Straight, repainted May 2006. 'Devil Yellow' - A new-gen Holden Monaro colour. Got it off the table for $50 at Protec in Geebung lol, painted it in a paddock. Cut all the rust out and filled it with plate and bog.

 

Other: It was a good car. I was the 5th owner. Still had the original owner's manual and sales brocure in the glovebox with price written on it. And cost of the 4-speed to 5-speed upgrade, it was $135 if i remeber correctly. Has a few special features, like a kill switch, floor mounted high beam switch (like an old holden) a head unit and tempramental 6-stack CD Player out of a VQ Statesman. I owned it from June 2004 to July 2006 and put 24,000 klms on it. No matter what i did, it seemed to never change from doing 11.2L/100klms, which used to frustrate me no end. I probably should have overhauled the carby. The speedo is always out by 10ks, it over-reads. ie, if you're doing 60, it says you're doing 70. For some reason it really liked a new set of spark plugs every oil change. I used to run 25W60 oil in it to stop the rattle at startup in winter. Headlights were pitiful. Whilst owning it i replaced brake master cylinder, water pump, clutch and accellerator cables, drivers seat (the base snapped - i'm only 70kg!) and a steel fuel line. Used to ping if you tuned it perfectly, you just needed to retard the timing a few degrees.

 

*Put pictures here*

[benzo]

anyone got a pic of a ke30 4 door with 16 inch roh rims?

 

Cheers, Ben.

Got my new tyres and decided I would go for the white writing on the outside. In my opinion it looks really old school cool. The tyres are yokohama y352s, also got a weber 32dgv put on. Put a rebuild kit through it myself but ended up getting it cleaned up and fitted by a professional. Very happy with the result. The driveability has improved dramatically, the sound is awesome and it starts better even though it now has no choke. So anyone cruising around with a standard carbys, do yourself a favour and get a weber!
