icon14.gif  Trent's New KE30 :) Update 4/5/05 Thu, 31 March 2005 10:39 Go to next message
Hey all,
after my 75 ke30 is a bit to far gone for rego i decided i'd buy a registered one, and one came along i could'nt miss so i brought it.

Cost me $500, All it need was registration renewal and new plates to pass.

I decided to get the thin white plates as they look much better than the new yellow NSW ones.

its got a great cond 3k with a k40 4spd

its only done 170,000km

body has got 2 slight dings in the front, im getting a quote on them soon tho, and im getting the bumpers restraightened as well

anyway i only got fone pics for now, i will get some digi pics asap!

Hey,

Jeff with the starter motor we kinda screwed up the bolt, we were making our own thread in the bolt hole, this leading to fking the bolt and fking the hole and the adaptor plate, so we got another starter motor from the wreckers and the guy said there was nothing wrong with it and he told us to use the one we got from him and keep the recon one for spares, now were waiting at Blackwoods to get a new bolt.

Cya,
BTW Trent nice KE30 Laughing

hey guys

I was washing the wheels and while i had them off i decided to check the brakes,

so i took off the drum on the back to be confronted by tram tracks Shocked Laughing they were that worn out there was grooves in them lol and the shoes had worn down to the steel, and the funny thing of all this is it had a pink slip done the week before hahaha dodgy bastards

anyway i get around to taking the front ones off to be confronted by the same thing tram tracks Sad the pads were even worse, lol

so i got both drums machined and new shoes
and new pads and front disc's machined, bled the brakes and there as good as new.

Cost me $400 all up for all the bits and pieces plus old man's labor Razz

the stocko steering wheel was having issues with the horn and it was worn, so after a look around for a decent KE35 steering wheel and couldn't find one i went and brought a autotecnica one plus boss kit $170

its all on now and all functioning Smile

I also got a new front bumper off ebay, i need a back one now and then shes into the body shop for some dents removed,

that's all i can think of now

Cheers Trent

Re: Trent's New KE30 :) Update Wednesday August 3rd 2005 Wed, 03 August 2005 11:18 Go to previous messageGo to next message
Well alot of stuff has changed since i last posted,

I got a great Autotecnica steering wheel for it, and a Pioneer 3750 Headunit with Pioneer TS-A6991 6x9" 5 Ways, bout the best 6x9's you can get from Pioneer,

Me and dad got the headunit in pretty easy, basic wiring and a bit of bush know how was all that was needed Very Happy

So i went to put the speakers in to find out that the original Toyota Car Stereo speakers are smaller than the ones i brought, Sad so the only way to cut it accurately means we need to take the rear window out, rubber needs replacing anyway,

So i just brought a new rear window and boot seal $198.60!! Sad

Short term plans are,

Get straight guards off KE55 (anybody know if they are different?) Put on mine get them sprayed etc,

Get both bumpers Restraightened and rechromed.

Lower it

Near future

2" Exhaust and Extractors Quoted $500 for that, sound reasonably?
And some nice rims probably superlites or something.

Anyway more things will come,

First year apprentice wages arn't that appealing Sad

Cheers All

Nice steering wheel mate! I wish that my KE30 was as straight as yours is. So what plans do you have for it power wise? Just a bit of work to the 3k or an engine conversion

Cheers, Calvin Smile

Heya Calvin,

Thanks for the comments Wink

Well considering i work at a Engine Rebuilder (Retorque) i might just take the 3K in and get duel valve springs etc, nothing too over the top as power doesn't really concern me, infact im pretty happy with the way the 3K performs,

I also forgot to mention in my above post that i'am getting a K50 asap as this thing revs its little guts out when you do over 80kph Laughing

anyway cheers Cal

yeah the four speeds are prety bad ey! my brother and i drove a ke38 from sydney to melbourne and at 110 the thing was screaming. when he took his foot off the accelarator you would think he put his foot on the brakes or something because there was so much engine braking Razz

yeh i have one similar colour to yours a little more orange. however my brother was driving that and he had an accident and bent the chassis rail a bit. he has got this KE38 wagon for me but i would prefer a KE30 sedan or two door so i am trying to sell the wagon to fund the KE30. i am also currently building a little 2TG/3T hybrid for whichever car i have when it is finished Razz
