hey Well i have got a 76 corolla fairly ruff but minimal rust :) I am planing on doing an engine conversion to a 4age. I have 82 corona strurts and brakes for the front as they are bigger. A 4age out of a ae82 corolla seca arriving soon (very excited) And a t50. So thats the plan so far.. mean while i have a 1982 corona with a 1x engine about to be scraped and i notice that the bell-housing for the 4 speed is seperate to the gearbox itself, so i was just wondering if it is worth saving, will it bolt up to a 4age and what other boxs would suit it? Thanks Corey

I Just bought my first corolla and its a 2008 S with the automatic transmission. I looked and looked but couldnt find the one i wanted with a 5 speed. anybody know if it would be possible to do a swap for the transmission and what it would take to do so?

Have a AE86 with a 4AGTE conversion with a Motec M48. Trying to get a Tacho output signal either to run the dash tach or Monster Tacho. Its running the 4AGZE Dli setup and I have done a few searches etc but I thought someone here might have had direct experience with it. Would be nice to find the person who did the conversion and pick their brains about the car. Any help appreciated Regards Keith

I need a few parts for my rolla Hard to find at the wreckers

Hey, I have the option to either buy a original 3k-b twin carby set up or just the manifold. Obviously the manifold is cheaper but I am just wondering what i need to do to build up the twin system? Cheers Tom

I was having a look around as to what i can do for the brakes on the ke10. Now at this stage i'm looking at t18 struts and brakes and maybe a ta22 diff and drums. Due to limited room in the ke10 i can't see a way to run a booster but people have suggested a pajero master cylinder will be good enough. Can anyone confirm if this'll be true? It'll have a 3tc with about 110rwkw. Any other suggestions would be lush. Cheers

can someone tell me which 4agze this is ... i think its ae92 but not sure cheers

hey guys i would like to know if its easy to put ae111 4age 20v in to ae101 corolla ceres

Hi All, Wondering if anyone can confirm if the picture below contains a ae86 clutch slave cylinder. It's for my ke25 which has a w57 gearbox with a t50 to w5x bellhousing. I know its not a w57 slave cylinder as the one i bought is apparently for a MA61 and it doesnt fit. So if someone could confirm or deny or identify what clutch slave cylinder this actually is that would be great. The only identifying marks on it are....tcic 3/4 9617. Cheers

Hey guys I just bought my first ra40 and am keen to spend some coin on it.. Does anyone know where I can find an 18rg and how easy the conversion is? Also I want to make the brakes better and do the suspension the best possible way.. Any ideas? Cheers guys

anybody know the factory specs where to fender mirrors should be installed on a TE27/KE25? If I remember it correctly, it mounts directly after the second fender bolt (counting from the front of the vehicle). Thanks, Big Mike

Does anyone have a link to a site that shows what the coding means on the data plate (example: axle, transmission, paint etc..)?

I am wondering what these wheels are called - if anyone knows let me know as I can't seem to find anything anywhere on google. Cheers, KJ.

LoL! Perfect choice of model by Supercheap! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9wZvcr3v2c&feature=related

Hey guys. Due to people asking WAY to much for ae86 brakes (imo) i'm starting to think about getting my BC AE86 coilovers with a different stub axle for different brakes.. Now, The brakes need to be relatively easy to get and they MUST fit under 13" wheels.. Does anyone have any suggestions? Right now i'm thinking T18.. As i already have a complete t18 brake setup here, Only thing i've heard is the callipers are a bit of a let down? Anything anyone can tell me or suggest would be overrated! Cheers, Jono

Hey guys, I'm running a 4age 16v small port, with 20v Quad throttle Bodies, an adaptronic ecu and brand new valve springs.. I'm just wandering what cam shafts you have put in your 4age, and where a good place to get them online is, without the killer $800 per shaft price.. I'm keen to run an exhaust and Intake shaft, and decided to ask some questions before hand.. I was thinking about running the Tomei Pro 304 Duration with the 11.0mm lift.. Any input is appreciated thanks guys..

Hey guys, i know this is the wrong section, but i have had no luck in the wanted to buy section and been looking everywhere but no luck!! thought it might get a bit more exposure here. looking for mostly the rear bumper for a KE30, good straight condition, does not need to include lights. and Front one could also be nice in good straight condition. I'm from Eastern suburbs of melbourne am prepared to travel a bit Thanks guys

My daughter's AE82 5speed has a noisy speedo and it fluctuates a lot. It has only occurred since it got cold. I assume the 1986 speedo cable needs greasing. The problem is I found it damn hard to undo the knurled nut behind the speedo as the space is tight. #@!!*** Can I undo speedo at gearbox and remove the inner from that end? -AND successfully feed it back into the speedo head.? I want some advice from someone who has done it - before spending ages upside down and perhaps breaking something? Ta, Brett

Hey, i've taken the inlet manifold off my smallport 4age to do a bit of work to it, anyway, i noticed that the ports on the manifold are quite noticeably smaller then the ones on the head...... whats the go here then? Surely they didn't come standard like this? I'm thinking of porting out the manifold to match the head, but il ask here first just in case. Am i maybe missing something? Is there a plate thats ment to be bolted between the manifold and the head? Piccy attached so you know what I'm going on about, the dark oval visible on the flange is where the inlet port has been bolted to, and you can see the smaller inlet from the manifold sitting 2mm or so inside it…

Ok guys I've search but could find a definitive answer. I'm going to be driving my 26 as a daily shortly and need it to drive alot nicer than current. The standard shocks are dead and I need new ones, what has everyone used for shorter stroke shocks in the front of 20's? Mines currently approx 60-70mm lower than standard making standard shocks useless. Has anyone upgraded the shocks in the rear of a 26? There quite a bit smaller than 20/25 shocks if i recall?

looking at buying a set of 3 peice wheels, inspected them and they have been welded together. is it possible to seperate them without wrecking them? as I'm wanting to put larger barrels. cheers guys.

Hey all I got a 20v silver top in my ae101 it goes great but latley its got a flat spot between 2,500rpm-4000rpm. Any suggestions whats.causing it? And its been idleing at 2000rpm when it use to.idle at about 1000 rpm any suggestions on whats causing these issues?

Hey guys, I'm looking to upgrade the shockers in the front of my ke55 and have been told that the size of the strut tube must be 51mm to fit the ones that i'm after. I've been told that these struts are found in ke70's but when i measured one it only measured up to 46mm. Can anyone tell me if there is a certain year or type that these struts came out in the ke70's, or if it was another type of strut out of another car altogether? Cheers.

Hey guys, slowely modifying my ke70 wagon and a cage is next on the list. wondering if there is a company that makes cages for the ke70 wagon or if another car's cage will bolt in with little modification. any help on the subject would be great. i tried searching through google and the forums and found nothing on the subject :( cheers guys.

G'day guys. Rather than fork out 400 big ones on Kmac cambertops for my Ke10 i found some Celica ones for $150 I've never really looked into them too much before because of the price, But, Are they able to be redrilled to suit the Ke10 strut top?

Howdy all. Just looking at purchasing a set of speed bleeders for Mumbleweed (Wife's yellow RA60 Celica) and I was hoping someone on here can tell me the brake bleeder valve size? Yes I could wait till I get home and take the thing apart but I'd rather not if I don't have to :) Thanks

Hi Guys, I recently bought a c160 6 speed Ae111 gearbox, it has arrived and i am trying to confirm it is the 6 speed as advertised. Only markings are from the importer who labelled it ae111 6mt(i did confirm with them before buying that it was a c160). I have tried moving the selector and can only get it into the red positions shown below. Is there any trick to getting the reverse gear? or where is the 7th gear position, or is this a 5 speed. Want to find this out before raging the seller. Thanks in advance
