Hi I have a ae102 seca a couple of days ago I noticed a thud in the rear left as the wheel spins. I have swapped the wheel with the front left to see if it was the wheel but made no difference.

Recently I bought a second hand Corolla car, after buying only noticed that the gap of the rear car boot is quite big. Have some difficulties in closing it down - need to apply some force to push it down. What can we tell from this finding? Is that a design defect/flaw or the car has encountered an accident before? How to check the originality of the car boot? Finally, can it be repaired? Thanks, Rollazer

yes need some info people would ma61 stock mags fit a te72

Okay, so I'm a little confused with the all the different front ends available for the e7 cars (especially taking into account all the different ones available worldwide). I have a hardtop ae72, and always thought the hardtops share the same front end as the coupes and liftbacks. While the 2-door sedans, 4-door sedans, and wagons shared the same front ends. But then I saw this picture of the a coupe with the quad headlights. Now I'm all confused. What front ends were available on what? Or more specific, what front ends came on the hardtops like mine?

Howdy, just wondering what % brakes have to test at to pass safety certificate in QLD?

In my continuing bid to circumvent the AE series diagonal braking and aid in the installation of a Hydraulic handbrake, I've been investigating twin master cylinder pedal boxes with a balance bar. The fabrication shouldn't be a problem and it looks like you can get pre-fabbed balance bars off e-bay for reasonable dollars, so it's all down to pedal lengths, pivot points and actual master cylinder sizes. The standard bore on an AE92 m/cyl is 15/16" (23.8mm) and consulting the TRD bible on AE's, they claim to be using a 7/8" (22.2mm) for the front and a 13/16" (20.6mm) for the rear. And this is some of what isn't making sense to me at the moment. The Grp A Corolla's were u…
