kool cars and parts, good luck with it all
Hi all, just found this web site a few days ago and have been looking through all the posts etc and found a few cool pics of Corollas and alot of great information.
My name is Adam, and I am from the UK. Little far from you guys so no meet ups/parts selling for us, but just nice to have a place to chat about Corollas and look at what other people like to do with them!
Here are my current cars. I have only just recieved the Levin from Japan a few weeks ago but there was a earth problem with it and its not running and cant find the faul (and havent got the time - WORK!) and the KE is stock, but my plan is to use the AE86 as a doner car in the future and swap over all the ae86 running ger onto the KE.
Thanks
and hello form the uk!

Ok , this is my other car, a Mint 25,000 metalic Brown KE70 Toyota Corolla DX!!
This is my 'current' pride and joy and I am fixing this up and will be driving my ae86 for whats left of the summer.
I havent done much to it just yet as, I want to use the ae86 for a bit over the rest of the summer.
Its a 1980 KE and I plan to run a 4age on ITB. and use all the parts from the 2 door ae86 when I am ready.
heres a few pics of what it looks like at the moment.
these aare SSR Mesh 14x7.5 -9 but have another set that are 8j too.
other parts I have to add on
grille
lights
ITB's
kool cars and parts, good luck with it all
2 very nice cars there
which parts are you going to swap from the ae86?
cheers lads.
well I really dont want to have to part the ae86 out, but I only need one car (I have a daily driver to float about it) and I cant afford to 4age both. I could keep the ke70 on the 4k, and just drop it on som lower suspension etc, but whats the point??
the only thing left from the ae86 will bee the bits that wont fit on the KE!
Should get a good amount of cash back for the shell, bumpers, panels, interior etc.
I have a spare 4age and T50 box, but over here we never got the ae70, so its harder to do a 4age swap, plus AE86 and KE70 are quite rare and quite expensive.
I paid approx $3000 AUS for this KE, but its the best one I have ever seen and is like new, and the earlier version with the chrome bumpers, and front end that will allow the JDM twin headlights etc.
I do have a question though re the 4age into a ke70 if anyone can help me??
I looked over the forum for an answer but could not find a positve answer.
If I have all the ae86 (xmember, steering rack etc) and put in the T50 JDM ae86 gearbox in (my ke is a manual not an auto), and as this is a hydrolic clutch system, can I just bolt the completepedal box and clutch master cylinder on, or is it a real pain?? Some say its all just a straight swap and others say is a ball ache??
What is it??
cheers
Adam
there nice as, good selection of wheels.
good luck with it all
that 86 is fat
dont waste it for a ke lol
yeah the ke would look hot to
but that 86 is fuckin sick!
and does that ke have rear camber?
wtf!
no dude, I just parked it on a big dip in the dirt to simulate it being lowered as its on std suspension!
the other side had a huge arch gap fit for a big bird nest!
you can mod the ae86 clutch pedal arrangement to fit the KE70, but from what i've heard it's hard to get right. we have an AE71 here it's the same as a ke70 but uses a SOHC carby 1.6l and a t50 and hydraulic clutch arrangement same as the ae86. we use the pedal box out of the ae71 in the KE70 to use the T50.
however i don't know what you'll do in your situation. you may have to import a ae71 pedal box from here!!!
it would be criminal to pull apart that AE86!!
hey Gilly.
Do you thhink you could help me get a ae70 pedal box?? Please??
As for the ae86, its very 'used' and the paint is bad (this dosent bother me, its just why I bought it because it was cheap).
