Just wondering If anyone knows how much it would cost to get 4age fully forged. Want to see what you guys know, going to try find a place in penrith, probably check out race solutions later this week to see. But yeh if anyone can help just an estimate, was going to lower the compression and get turbo fitted but engine would last long at all

Hey guys, wanna use one of the above to trt and get rid of all the rust in my rolla! Ive heard sand blasting can damage panels and that using the plastic beads is better for it. Is all the above true? Anyone know where i could hire one in melbourne? Anyone in melbourne have one that i could borrow? :P Cheers guys!

So my brother bought home the Force tool storage catalog and I was flipping through it yesterday and spotted something I thought you guys might be interested in. This toolbox (ignore the tools in the draws): Which comes with all of this inside: Part list: Pretty much every basic tool I use when working on the car. Currently looking at a price around $750 hopefully, but I might be able to get this down more depending on volume. Retail is currently around $900. Shipping would be somewhere around the $50-100 mark for the Eastern states, check your prices to elsewhere (shipping weight is ~52.4kg). I've got a Force socket set,…

just playing around with the truck and just wondering how much negative camber can be safely run on the fronts with putting my self or others in danger?

So guys I would really like it if someone on here either has or has use of a laser cutter/plasmer cutter or pretty much anything that could cut me out some exhaust port flanges for my 4k so I can weld up my manifold for my t25 turbo setup Also could do with a plate to bolt onto the intake manifold (were the carby would normally bolt on) I need these out of quiet thick mild steel so I can weld onto it Any help would be absolutely wonderful I'm in hoppers crossing area but hey if you live in w/a and can help and post I would be wrapped Cheers Miller

So because I'm a bit of a numpty when it comes to paint, I thought I would ask here. Have been touching up a few minor rust repairs on my AE86, and also need to spray a guard and respray my sunroof panel. I thought I may get away with using spraycans rather than pulling the supercheap spraygun from its box, but the cans gave a shit finish to my repair areas so have realised I need to go with a "proper" job. Plus despite supposedly being the right code, the colour isn't right. That I can understand, as they can only have so many colours in a can. I appreciate there are lots of variables with gun types, air flowed, paint to thinner ratios etc etc. Not really …

G'day chaps, Wanting to do a rat PMG / Telecom (pre-Telstra for you youngens) tribute ute with my RN25 Hilux, but I'm struggling to find and images or even the old logo I could work with... To my knowledge they used quite a few RN25's, all Orange and all with tubs. The plan would be to do it semi-rat with a very matt finish orange and the old Telecom logo on the doors, low, etc... The idea came to me today, and it is most likely going to win on some sort of epic level. I've found a reasonable tub which is the correct orange colour, and I have reason to believe the car it's coming off is a Telecom ute. If anyone has ANY images of the logo, random facts…

Could someone please give me some information about installing a short ram intake or cold air intake on a 1986 AE80 corolla.

Hey all, so I'm currently the new Proud owner of the ke20 that won 2009 corolla of the year. Yes the car is still around and going well, untill tonight. Went to a local jdm car meet at rousehill. The night was goin great, until highway patrol showed up thanks to the security guards!.. As usual the car attracts attention specially the eyes of the police officer as he quickly noticed my steering wheel displayed on the dash That I put to show off the NRG quick release that I just installed. From there he took out the defect book and went over the car. People around me told me to walk away from the car. So I did and returned an hour after to have my heart Bro…

Gymkhana world tour is coming up. who has a couple tickets that they're willing to part with as they can no longer make it or somethin, so spewing i missed out on tickets...

Hey Guys Looked all over the net but can't find a answer to my question! Can I stick weld stainless steel intake tubing. I know I can weld stainless steel with certain rods but I have no clue what thickness stainless steel or what rods? I know the welds wont be as pretty as mig or tig but this is not for a beauty contest it just needs to seal the piping to make sure there's no leaks. What size would you fella's recommend for the tubing? Cheers in advance for the info.

Hey guys, i need a donor carby for my 3k-h in my ke25 rolla i was just wondering if a carby off a 4k in a ke70 rolla will fit straight onto my inlet manifold because 4k's are pretty common to come by, cheers.

Will Ke55 corolla doors fit straight onto a KE30 and vice versa??

I'm looking to buy some nice rims for my beige ke70 wagon, its 110mms off the ground (king springs and lowering blocks nothing fancy) and i wouldn't mind peoples opinions on what size in inches fills the wheel arches, or gives a nice look, what width is to much and even what color should i get whether its black, white or polished alloy >.<, sounds a bit stupid but this is what I've had my eyes on. http://www.ozzytyres.com.au/wheels/ozzy-racing-rsgt-gloss-black/ http://www.ozzytyres.com.au/wheels/ozzy-racing-rsgt-hyper-black/ http://www.ozzytyres.com.au/wheels/ozzy-racing-rsgt-Matt-black/ give us ya opinions and advice, Cheers

Hey all I'm putting a sr20 into my ke30 and was wondering if anyone here who has done it had to cut the tunnel, or modify it or the firewall in anyway to make it fit with clearances. Also what did you do for engine mounts and gearbox mounts, did you modify existing or make new ones, etc. If it helps its a standard auto ke30 body with a sr20 auto going in. any info would be great.

just wondering is it legal to have flat type filters mounted on top of the carbi. or is it labeled the same as pod filters and illegal to have them open to air, and must be enclosed thanks in advance

Hey guys spotted a 78 cressida 5 speed at the wreckers today. Its a 4m with a 5 speed. And the lady owner drove it to the wreckers and took the plates off. If anyone wants the wreckers number let me know

I cannot seem to find a definitive answer on this... Does the 1978 KE30 with a four-speed manual come with a center console or not. Mine doesn't have one, but I was wondering if it maybe just disappeared over the last 32 years. Thanks.

I'm sick of forking out heaps for fuel rego roadworthy's etc... I've been looking into assisted push bikes and from what I've read, no registration needed, allowed up to 29cc with out registration as long as it's power assisted. And up to 80 k's an hour.. My idea is to get say a 40cc Honda or something with heaps of grunt for what it is.. How are they going to know if I remove the labels. And get one of those low rider pushies with the fat tyres.. Feels a bit safer. An just cruise around the suburbs. Power to weight would be alright seeing as it's just a push bike. Put a little basket on the back for shopping etc and wear a motorbike helmet. I reckon it could cruise at…

Hey everyone - I just kind of inherited a 1978 Corolla Deluxe or Custom -- not too sure which one. I am an American living in Indonesia -- not too far from you all -- and I love classic cars. This one is a little out of my realm, as I am used to the classic V-8 muscle. I love new foreign cars, but classics are a new thing to me. A little about my situation. This guy owed me about USD 2,500, and I saw that there was no way he was going to pay me my money. So, with a little "convincing," he turned his car over to me and we are transferring the registration soon. The car is in solid shape, it has some small visible rust, but not too much. It has a newer paint job, …

Hey guys, I'm looking at importing a set of SSR Starsharks from Japan as a friend of mine has a container coming over at the end of the year. I've been looking around and have been trying to calculate if they'll fit under my car. They're 13' x 7' rear and 13'x 6.5' front with a 0 offset. Nice looking, and about 25000 yen, plus tyres when they get here. my guards have been rolled a bit already, but I want to avoid having to stretch them because it's had rust repairs. Here's a link for the ones I'm looking at/or similar. http://page5.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/e113010724 Translated, pretty much it says buyer beward because there's no sticker, but …

Hey guys just wanting to know how you twin cammers out there get the best power out of your 4age without breaking the bank?

Just a small quote i found while searching for body panels on the net, thought it was pretty interesting ! sorry if this has been posted before.. funny how people call most toyota's "rice"

Not sure if anyone was watching the WRC Access All Areas on the weekend, but as part of the 1000 Lakes coverage, they visited Jari Matti's home. In his special garage, there were 3 cars: A Didier Auriol Corolla WRC, a replica Henri Toivonen Chrysler Sunbeam (not a Lotus - earlier version), but most interesting of all - an AE86! Unfortunately the AE86 was the only one they didn't talk about. He did have other sheds containing a BDG Mark 2 escort http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji6tsNfJ3kQ as well as a rather nice workshop where he was building up a Makinen Evo 3 or 4 replica. It's hell being a rally star....

Heres a story for you all- i was driving my daily, a 1981 ke55 corolla through some roundabouts today while it was wet, and exiting them with a little oversteer. I ended up behind a newish mazda in which the lady signalled me to pull over. I followed as i thought i scared her and quickly apologised. She replied with " Do you know who iam?, i bought that new in 81 and owned it for 30 years. I gave it to my mechanic as it was time to scrap it" i was embarresed and apologised again. But she told me the history of the car and what has been done to it etc etc.. I made her day she said as she was suprised to still see it driving :) well errr almost 75 degrees around a roun…

Hey guys, I stumbled across this, I think you'll enjoy: lonely but brand new E20 Toyota Corollas showing only 38km on their odometers, abandoned http://japanesenosta...one/#more-16194 P.S: I did some searching around on the net for a trip I planned eariler this year, and you can import cars from cypruss, I think its around 2k or 3k landed. Imagine a fully restored example with 38km's on the clock, that would be worth a overrated.

hi there how hard will it be to fit a 202 or a 179hp into a ke 30 corolla how hard will it be any help .

just a general discussion on an engine conversion you may have done and wether you think it was worth itin the end. its the cost/ effort and hassles versus every day performance over the original. state what you had and what you went to and the big differences. i have a question to the ones that have gone from 4afc or what ever it is in 91 corolla hatch to 20v.is it a massive gain in drivability and power/torque. i know this sounds like a retarded Q but hear me out. i had a fx-gt rolla with the tvis 4ag in it and it was useless in every day driving like between lights etc but once it hit 3500rpm it would pull off the speedo when the others would drop off. the gt i be…

I was wondering if there was at all anyway i can get a car resprayed for less then a $1000. I will be rebadging with custom badges at a later date so that doesnt matter a lot all panels are straight no rust work and no panel work needed at all. all i need is a sand and spray orignal colour.
