Hi guys, Hoss from Sweden here. I'm having a bit of a concern. I'm the owner of a stock KE70-82 and I'm about to get some new wheels (stud pattern 4/114,3). The rims I been looking at have markings on the outside "5½ J*15 H2-E40" and the markings on the inside are "5" and "86". As far as I understand (and please correct me if I'm wrong) the 5½ stands for the width, 15 stands for the diameter and E40 for the offset. The H2 I don't have clue to what it means... And it's the same with the 5 and the 86. I don't really know the size of the stock rims I have now, but the tires are 145/80/r13. According to my calculations the tires I need to get should have th…

Hi all just a quicky just wondering if 4k-c and 5k-c waterpumps are interchangeable. i.e. use a 4k pump on a 5k thanks Daniel.

hey just wondering i got this clutch fork from a supra 5 speed box but my 1g bellhousing has a large pivot ball and the clip on the back of the fork wont go on is there a smaller one i could find for it off something else?

Well i was webbing the other day when i came across with this: Introduction - http://somender-singh.com/content/view/7/31/ http://www.somender-singh.com/ http://somender-singh.com/content/view/65/43/ well my question is, have anyone try this in a 4K??? i don't know what to belive because its not just another fuel saving magnet, it have been tested by a lot of people with good results overall and they seen like real people. i woult try it, but i only have one 4K and its daily driver so i can't mess a lot with it. I think that maybe some people who has the skills and lots of 4K heads around can do something..... and tell the comunity :)

Hi, Is there any difference between KE30, 35, 36, 38 in the suspension front end design? Especially regarding front sway bars. Whiteline list BTF17 (20mm) for sedan and coupe, but a different part BTF6 (16mm) for wagon and van. Incedentally BTF6 is the same as listed for KE2# sedan and coupe. http://www.whiteline.com.au/docs/catalogues/WL_0323.pdf Why do you think they've done this?

I've scored a coupla 32/36 DGVs and first order of business is to give them a cleanup. After removing the holders, the emulsion tubes are refusing to fall out in a willful and wanton display of bad manners. I don't want to go stuffing bits of wire and whatnot down there to encourage them ... I'm sure I'll screw the brass ... any hot hints from rollaclub land? cheers, Slapper

hey guys can 5k webbers fit on to a 7k? I'm led to believe that 4k extractors can fit on a 7k, but also some parts can't fit. would it do the trick? help would be great, cheers. :S

Hello everyone. Just wondering what swaps people have done with putting different seats into their xE7xs'. Ill start us off by saying that with a single rail swap and a flare of one bolt hole the RA40 seat from my parts car bolted in really nicely. The bum was a bit lower than the ae71 seat. Would definitely suit a Person 6 foot 4 or so. A little low for me at 6 feet tall though. Looking for ideas about seats from other cars more so than after market stuff, but please post if there was a particularly elegant install of an after market unit that you did and how. Thanks in advance, Matt.

Hi all. I have a 16 wagon with a completely knackered door seal. I was wondering if anyone has replaced one before and where did they get it from? Or can you dodge up a sedan boot seal (or similar) to do the trick? Cheers, Tom.

I'm getting a 2tg head revamped atm and the engine guys can shim the valves as the inlet valves are to long and the exhaust are to short. ;) The head is a 261 head and i now need to buy new valves. are the 261 valves the same as the 220 and 222 heads? if not does anybody know the right length for the 261 valves. or where the right ones can be sourced. cheers

hey guys I'm from the sunny coast i hv a black 2door ke30 rolla and i was wondering if a complete dash out of a 4door ke30 wld fit in my 2door? :evil: As my dash is jst about screwed. thanks bruce

hi all, just looking at buying a diff centre for my ke25 but i wouldn't have a clue what series it is eg: T , F

Where is the best place in syd to get parts for a W58 box, i need some synchros and bearings.

Well the question as the title says is very easy, i have a KE70 with the stock (ugly) cluster, and i want a tacho in the cluster but here in uruguay, no tacho cluster :) , so let the mods begin one cluster that i have in mind is the AE92 cluster because is easy and cheap to find here. Conectionwise will it be difficult to conect??? how about the speddo read??? BTW i don't know if this goes here

Hi All, i recently purchased a KE11 standard diff and when i had a look at the one in my car on the weekend the housing looks completely different to the one i bought. I was wondering whether KE10's and KE11's came out with different diffs? does anyone know? Any information will be much appreciated.

Hey all, a few of my gauges on my dash arent working correctly and i wanna know, is it my dash thats screwed up or dodgey wiring! my fuel gauge is like never working and usually always sits on empty which is really annoying as i dunno when to fill up! and my temp gauge usually sits at the correct temp but every now and then it will jump to over half when i hit 2.5k revs, then when i drop below that it goes back to normal! do i get a new dash as the board on it is f*cked, or do i trace the wiring back! i don't really know where i should be looking for the temp and fuel gauge wiring! as in when it gets to the engine bay help is much appreciated

i hate doing this, but does anyone have a cam timing diagram for a RA23 celica with a 18RG. i have an engine that just doesn't want the timing marks to line up. well after much searching i have finally found some info on it.

The old corolla FAQ. These guys rock!! http://www.superjamie.net/oldcorollas/

I was wondering if you can use the bell housing off a 3K auto gearbox... who knows...might as well ask seen as I have one lying around

OK guys I have this shop manual here with a crapload of settings. So over the next few days/weeks I'll be typing out all this info for each particular model. I figure I wont bother with auto transmission settings as they suck and should burn in hell. If theres any car 1970-1990 (early 1990) that you would like the settings for (bar all the corollas because I'm putting them up anyway) please PM me and I'll add it to my list! I'll also have a separate topic for each car for easy searching and finding. Once Ive posted the settings I'll lock the thread to keep it tidy Engine Engine Displacement (cc): Firing Order: Spark Plugs Type: Gap (mm): Compr…

I'm really not sure what model this is...seems to be only a limited run of them. The only difference I can find is some emissions changes and a compression drop. This is most likely the 3K-C Engine Engine Displacement (cc): 1166 Firing Order: 1342 Spark Plugs Type: Denso W16EP Gap (mm): .80 Compression Pressure (psi): 149 Distributor Make: Denso DWELL: 52±2 Point Gap (mm): .40-.50 Ignition Timing Initial/Static: 8@Idle C/S Fuel System Make/Type: Aisan Float Level (mm): 6.5 Idle Speed (rpm): 750±50 Emission CO%: 0.3-2.0 Fuel Pump Pressure (psi): 2.8-4.3 Fuel Capacity (cc/min@rpm): 900@5800 Oil Pressure (psi): >45@3000 Valve Clearances Inlet…

Hey every one, have a look at this! http://www.zeppan.jp/toyota/corolla_fx_ceres.htm Teddy

hey i heard theres a new pickn payless at campbellton? any1 know if its true n a address would b of much help...cheers lads and lassies

grab a handful of camshaft drive sprockets and line up the dowel holes and see how much variation there is between them showed this to doug once and there was up to 1/2 tooth difference on some

http://www.boostcruising.com/classifieds/d...hp?siteid=11964 I wish I had some spare cash lying around to snap this baby up. I'm sure one of you guys would sure be able to make a serious offer on this.

one of the more useful websites i've found in a LONG time really good for finding out how much hp cars make and what sort of engine they have in them and how much they weigh http://www.globalcar.com/datasheet/Toyota/

Ok guys and girls lets call Ben's bluff - see how many mass produced aftermarket old rolla parts he can produce.

Something I thought was interesting... True it has to do with gokarts and not cars, but I think some of the principles would still apply to cars esp if you have a locked diff or a very tight LSD... Kart Steering, Physical Forces and Setup - Theory and Practice

hey guys, how much would a tune length extractors for my 3K cost? and does it make a considerable amount of difference to the power of the car? brad

I got a KE20 2-Door Sedan with a 5K engine, webbers, extractors, sports exhaust, possible head work, mags and ts droped on its guts. I plan on doin it up as a tough streter but also want it to run a not to shabby time down the quarter. I'm just after ideas on what would fit in with minimal hassel and are leaning toward a SR20DET from a GTi-R or a 3S-GTE form a late model MR2. As well as goin faster i want it to stop on a dime so some help would be great there and also handle like a go kart as much as possible. Any help would be great as I'm new to the wors od corollas and you all know more than me. thanks a bunch.

Heyas, What plugs are you guys running in your 3e-te's and at what gaps? This is for my 87 Corsa, running 11psi.

I'm considering having a TRD supercharger installed (cost about $3500 plus cost of an aftermarket ecu) anyway i was wondering if anyone here had gone down the same track and if so what with a turbo or s/charger. Whats peoples opions on supercharging and turbos (what do you recommend for the 1ZZ-FE engine) ? Being a considerable some of money i want to be confindent that i made that right choice when i do go through with it. Thanks

I just got my waterpump put in and my AE86 is running cooler but, the guy that installed it said that the copression ratio is off and that i might have a blown head casket. and he wants 425 to put one in. is this a task i can do with the haynes manual and do it myself. and what is the copression ratio and what does it mean.

I'm mucking around with the Selby's adjustable swaybar that I have at the moment, and am trying to figure out which way gets stiffer and which way gets softer... On a normal swaybar, it's simple, the front bushes merely locate the bar (pivot) and the end bits torque the bar, so the further away the ends are from the pivot, the "softer" the bar is... The bar I have attaches to the radius rods. So one set of bushes near the ends, snd one set of bushes near the pivot. Does the same theory apply? That the closer together I put the bushes then the stiffer the bar will be? Or is it the opposite? Does it matter how near the ends I put the bushes?
