My 1972 KE25 Corolla Coupe
As I mentioned earlier, I managed to find some goodies on Yahoo Auctions Smile

- AE86 front struts, complete except calipers

- AE86 front calipers

- Cusco camber plates

- TRD 6kg/mm front springs

- Roll Centre Adjusters

- Stiffer leaf springs.
I don`t really know much about these, only what the engrish translation of the auction told me. Just for the record, HIRUKURAIMU means hillclimb, and NOMARUSHAKKURU means something like normal shackles

Quote: HIRUKURAIMU (hillclimb) original TE27, 37 for the leaf spring racing! The amount of down about 7 to 8 cm in NOMARUSHAKKURU (normal shackle I think?) to respond. In the race for the chattering little, I think the image of racing is TRD shocks such as matching well with either foot and lithe like it. Circuit is also in the performance.Others, a leaf spring car matching good harmonic KIT F-8 and R-stage full strip adjustment as well as shock.

Should make a difference to the boat-like handling the car has right now.

Nice to know I'm forgiven Thumbs up! hehe

Damn your wheels look nice... let me know your price if/when you find out you can't make them fit Tongue

for both of them: look on Yahoo Auctions Japan, because Europe is LHD, it's no use for you ozzie guys, and the gauge panel with heater controls only went in the TE27's, so thats Japan only too.

Both items do come by every now and then Smile

I've been looking and bidding....... under bidder on both last week Crying

But now poor again, so will wait a while before trying again.

At least have now solved the problem of where I can put the AE86 so I can get the KE25 in the garage, hence reason for being poor :wink:

Small update!

I`ve painted and fitted the flares, and I`ve also installed hubs from a KE30 up front so I could get rid of my super awesome 12" winter tires. No pics of this yet, since I still have winter tires on the back, looks rather stupid. I did mange to take a pic of the car with the flares installed, and the 15" wheels put in front of the 12" steelies. Yes, it`s kinda childish, but I just couldn`t resist the urge :mrgreen:

what did you have to do to fit the flares?

The fronts fit quite ok i saw, but the rears are a bit strange

Hi!

Well, the fit was pretty good on mine. They require some sanding along the backside, especially around the area where you bolt them to the body, but all in all it was a pretty straightforward job. I`m going to use some kind of fender flare trim around the upper edge, so it doesn`t really have to be a 100% fit all the way. I am going to do some more sanding when I take the flares off to respray the car, as I`ve noticed places where I could have done a better job Banging head

I figured I`d try these for flare trim:
