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..

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
