KE10 - what to do with it ?
Hi
I came across nice looking KE10 Corolla with 1,1 engine in excellent condition. Not really familiar with 1st generation but it looks interesting. What are common performance and styling mods? What would you suggest ? I have spare 4AGE with T50, how would they fit ? thanks |

Its almost a shame to modify them old ladies. They'l never be quite the same performance platform that the later cars were.
4AGE will fit, front suspension is transverse leaf type, so none of the AE tricks apply unless you re-engineer stuff and lose the leaf. Almost no parts overlap with later KE-2X series that were fundamentally different (much closer to AE86). They can be made to look stunning though. Search around on club4AG for an orange colored example. Imho: nice wheels (4x110), maybe a bit of lowering but no more then that. Chassis is far far worse then AE86 or even KE25. Single section sheetmetal, almost no box sections! So won't stand up to much abuse. If you do want to go faster, then go all out and change every single bolt on the car.

Nothing really to add.
I allways thought they share suspension with KE2*/3*... I´d keep it original, get a it lowered, oldschool rims (4x 110 = pain in the ass, better change to 4x114,3) and you cold easily get a few more horses out ouf the K-engine. I´m aiming for >100hp with my5K build(cam, extractors, headwork, TRD valves, bigger bore, different carb) 4AGE will kill the diff, you you need to fabricate some later axle in there (I´ll be using TA22 Axle (same spline as zenki AE86--> easy to get LSD) The are cool cars: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1i03F4sG...re=related |

Ok, i give up, my AE86 will be happy about it.
KE10 is nice looking car, but if it can't stand little abuse and fast driving... pitty. Thanks for info, will look for some newer RWD Corolla
