wow thats actually in really good shape ...

What's your opinion on the corolla atm?

it seems to drive well, only problems are

Right brake light not working

Dash - top half of the plastic is missing

Cracked headlights on the front

Aircon not working

It needs a CV Joint

That model DOES have a left side mirror so will need to put one on

Passenger windows winder thingo

The immobiliser he may be able to pay for ...

I also found a radiator hose and timing belt in the booth .. :s

Should I pass it back to him or just try and get him to pay for the immobiliser if hes willing?

That civic (red one in my list) was alright, good shape and all ... but a bit too new i like old cars LOL

the auto 88 corona is pretty nice, good interior and all .. HAS AIRCON

the celica is sporty and quite cool

cant decide if i should return the rolla and try for one of those (bet half of em are sold knowing my luck) or just stick to my rolla and get the immobiliser on

Yeah the things wrong with the car are not big problems though I should fix the brake light asap

He did say he was willing to take the car back as he didnt know the actual age of the car and so just randomly put 1980 so he said that was his bad .. if i return the car/get the immobiliser on i'd pay for half of it I reckon cos he was real fair to me and stuff so yeah

voted for corolla johnno.have owned three.2 78's and a 79.reliable,easy to work on.speeding car hit me and the rolla's chassis saved my life.plus got $500 bucks for the motor after the car was munched.+1 ke rolla

you could get that red civic james? it was pretty good imo im just not into civics ..

richard - id love a KE corolla, their all gone though, the one i saw was 800 bucks for very little ...

Currently mainly considering a 89 Celica/88 Corona (auto :( ) or my 86 Corolla Sedan ATM which may or may not be returned to owner tomorrow unless he wants to chip in for the immobiliser

I'll let you guys know tomorrow what happened to the car!

Maybe I should hold up for a really good KE Corolla or something ...

I want something to play with in my uni break though! thats only 2 weeks away .. and I should study for exams now actually ...

Bob the bunky is gone

I asked the owner if he wanted to go halves on the immobiliser, he said he'd rather just wait until the car was 25 years old and didnt need an immobiliser anymore so we swapped back confused.gif

Yeah I think he also said something about the car he was gonna buy had a major problem so he would need a car anyway so it actually worked out well .. im thinking of spending a bit more .. mayb sumthing with aircon for my pampered ass thumbsup.gif

Did KE corollas have A/C?

Ah ok, makes sense haha.

And no lol, no AC.

I just checked out a suzuki swift tonight, no AC no PS no central locking, no tacho, no EW.

Car was immaculate though lol. 1.3L carby and all.

$1850, pretty damn tempted cause its that good... Even though missing lots of luxuries...

Decision time..

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
