KE Dedicated Thread

This is true, but can be corrected by;

a) bending the strut, or
b) adjustable strut tops, or
c) longer lower control arms (as you've said).

Apologies for the omission, I should have been clearer that it was not a bolt in upgrade.

or by fitting a KE70 front end into a KE10 with the aforementioned struts

Info on fitting RA40 Celica brakes to KE30/35/55.

For a brake booster upgrade, an AE71 booster bolts straight into a KE30/35/55. It is bigger than the standard KE30 booster and has the same master cylinder mounting bolt pattern.

Thought i'd put up some more info for those people who don't want to search.(if anything is wrong with the information, my apologies, as this is just my knowledge.

So the main difference is noticeable really only on the outside. As the inside didn't really change, the Ke25 SL had the delux interior and the extra features(radio, cigarette lighter etc) and the ke20 and ke26 mainly had the same interior as far as i know.

In Australia the Ke20, ke25 and ke26 had 2 versions.

The early version when they first were produced, (ie 1970-1972) had a flat metal grille, side indicators in the front plastic trims, straight edge bonnet, polished metal trims around the headlights and the rear had smaller lights (ke20 only)with reverse lights below brake lights.


Early Ke26

Early Ke25(LHD i know but you get the idea)

Early Ke20

Then was there a later version (ie 1973-1974) which came with plastic grille, side indicators in front quarter panels, no trims around headlights, full plastic front trims, pointy bonnet and rear lights were wider(ke20 only) with reverse lights beside brake lights.


Late Ke26

Late Ke25

Late Ke20


nb - As some of these pics are from Japan/USA, fendor mirrors never came out on Aust delivered Ke2X's.

If you want any more info, check the links on the page before as there is a heap of good stuff on the net put up by dedicated Ke2X fans!

good idea for a thread.

this guy has heaps of stuff i couldnt find elsewhere:

all my other favourite websites are already in the thread.

Also forgot to mention, as we have only the K series, America and Japan had the T series. So their range was Te21(Sedan), Te27(Coupe) and Te28(Wagon) and came with either the 2t-c motor or the Te27 came with the 2t-g version.

Japan also had both a Trueno and Levin Version of the Te27. Main difference was the lights, surrounds, grilles and bonnets.

does anyone know of longer lower wishbones for the KE10???> there are plenty of references to using corona ones with the later struts etc, but nothing directly on KE10's which have different bolt patterns on the strut legs. any help appreicated

[oldcorollas]

i haven't heard of longer wishbones, but i have heard of welding up and redrilling the bolt holes further out.... as well as shimming to change camber...

afaik, the 3bolt strot is a toyota orphan... the ball joints are different taper/thread size to KE20, but KE20 balljoints fit in the wishbones..
