Hey guys we have done a manual ae71 pedal box into a auto ke70 and i have now found that the steering column bolts do not line up with the holes any more. Is this a common problem or not. If so how do you fix it. I have noticed that there is a spline on the steering column in the engine bay and maybe that can be brought out a little to make it fit but thought i should ask before i did this. Can post pics if you are unsure of what i am saying. Cheers guys.

Hi, Just doing some more work on my SC14 and K motor project and I need a pulley to try on the front a thin one. Now I know sigma ones are the right bearing size but I can only find the thick sigma A/C pulleys so they wont quit fit (yes thin sigma ones fit but I can't find one) So on ebay tonight I saw this: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Air-Conditioning-Co...1QQcmdZViewItem Looks like it will fit like a glove. Now since it is a experiment I was curious to see if some one has one in my area I can loan or post to me or if some one can measure the ID of the bearing on the pulley and the thickness of the clutch face and the thickness at the thickest part? Cheer…

Ok. So, the water pump pulley on my 4ag was worn. I bought a JASMA pulley kit to suit 20v/16v. Bought a 20v water pump also as they are shorter (to help it line up) The water pump pulley sits about 4mm foward to the standard crank pulley and alt pulley. And the crank pulley from the kit is about another 4mm back from the standard pulley. Am I missing something? Should it all fit??

For some reason there are two threads, can one of the mods delete this one? Hey RC, So I bought a new coilover kit from T3. They're all new and shiny, and I want them to stay that way, plus keep dust and crap away from the dampers. So I made these: I know coilover covers can be bought, but I couldn't find any in the right size, and most of them were pretty pricey anyway. These cost me $18 each to make, and here's what I used to make them: 1 x meters of the heaviest canvas I could find (bought too much) 1 x meters of Velco strips 2 x meters of cord(more would have been better) And here's what I used to make them: 1 x fabric scissors 1 x ruler/…

hey guys, just putting my ae82 corolla back together after having the drivetrain out of it for over a year. i have pretty much all of it sorted out, except for a few little things, i was hoping someone might be able to help me out? firstly, theres a sensor/switch at the front left corner of the auto. has a small loom with blue plug and 2 pins. anyone know what it does, where it goes, or what signal is supposed to be sent to/from it? the car was originally manual and i think it may not have ever been connected, as the auto has never shifted properly. secondly, theres a breather off the auto dipstick tube. anyone know where the end of this is supposed to go? …

Hi guys just wondering if anyone has had any experience with these turbos (audi/VW 1.8ltr motors). I'm doing some hunting on the webs and I'm finding conflicting information but mostly positive feedback. My application is twincharging the 4k, running ~6psi (yet to be confirmed) on the charger and letting the turbo add another 7ish psi on top of that. Both units will be in circuit for 100% of the performance ergo no bypass valves. I've heard only a little about the K03, the K04 is sort of the direction I am looking at because of it's supposedly quick spool time. The main reason I am looking at this turbo is because I can get them new and I can get them cheap from a…
