  1. Going down hill, hard brake, bam foot to the floor. Right rear wheel cylinder spat it's seal. Replaced it with a brand new one, didn't do the other side because I cbf'ed. Bleed up, go down street to test it, bam the left rear goes. (Karma). Replace that side too.. And this is what confuses me, start bleeding the brakes with my brother pumping the pedal up when all of a sudden the brand new right rear cylinder pops. Back to square one. Can't work out why it would pop a new one? Read through a couple threads and this is what I've put it down to. 1. AE86 JDM Brakes up front somehow causing the brake bias to be out and too much pressure going to the rear thus blowing seals. 2. Drum shoes are low and drums themselves are old (Most probably never been replaced) with 280xxxkms on the car. Pushing piston too far? 3. Car hates me. Was driving around for ages with the two old cylinders and the brakes bled but not 100% and had no problems til I stomped the brake. Didn't fully adjust up my right rear shoes when I put the new one in. (Still ebrakes fine). When I had only one new cylinder in, fully bled with a really firm pedal. Pushed down, was braking really well for a distance then went pop. Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated.
  2. No video. Tut tut. Good work on getting it running and sorted. Now videoooooooooooooo. You don't realise how much I love this thing.
  3. Advice: Take it to a mechanic who know what they're doing. :)
  4. NOT MY CAR. Located in Upullit elizabeth. Dunno if this is the right spot for this but saw this a couple days ago and figured some rollaclubbers may find it useful. Look at the photos...
  5. Make the 4age engine+bay real pretty and you'll probably have more chance of winning.
  6. Not 100% sure, believe it to be 6kg or so. Definitely need some new bushes and better front tyres.
  7. Front coilies are in, wheel aligned and full brake bleed. Stops like a boss now. Adjusted the rear perches but not happy with them, gonna find different springs. I'm finding it quite understeery since putting in the AE86 Strut/coilovers + JDM Brakes + Powersteering arms + Adj. camber tops. Need to do something about my rear fenders, full of rust. Have some ebay special plastic fenders on their way, if they fit I'll bolt them on and cut the rest of the fender off.
  8. Rear's lowered, need to raise it a touch though. Adjustable spring seats help :) Fronts getting lowered this week wooo.
  9. Haven't noticed any change in kickback or noise. But my suspension is in dire need of a refreshment. Only thing I could say is noticeably different is the heaviness of turning (a touch heavier but nothing to complain about) and the handling of the car. Because my suspension is so buggered with the thinner 13's it was quite rolly and all over the road. The wider 14's hold better around corners. But it's still crap. I had 13x5 175/70/13 and changed to 14x6 195/60/14. My reasoning for 14's instead of 15's is I still wanted to be able to get decent tyres cheap, want it to still have a nice sidewall for when I get stiffer suspension and because I like the look of 14's on ke70s. Yeah, decided against welding the diff. Might just keep my eye out for a LSD if one ever comes up cheap.
  10. So far ripped the door mouldings off, tossing up if I should remove the pinstriping too? New black seat covers, ripped the old factory radio out as it was buggered. Thinking of putting some small gauges in instead. Got some 14x6" Dragway splats. I believe the offset to be +22, whatever it is, sits perfectly, will need a slight roll when lowered though :)
  11. Needed a daily so got myself a slanty KE70. Wanted a KE30 but someone beat me to it. -.- Found this rig owned by a 24 year old female, whose grandparents had owned it before her. The car had been named 'Carol'. It's got a bit of rust in the normal spots, paint fade all over it and a few love bumps. But it has working aircon! It's a 4 speed, 4k hicam, if that means anything haha. Interior is crap, tan colour with the original AM/FM radio which barely works. The engine has only just been run in with only 278,000KM on the clock; original engine and everything :D The car is completely stock, with the only additions being a pair of faded tan seat covers and aftermarket dents (it was the girls first car) Carol: Plans are: Clean her up a bit. Get 14" rims. ✓ Coilovers. ✓ A working headunit And speakers. ✓ 5 speed box maybe. Tacho dash. Upgrade the seats to something with more support/bucket to them. Very tempted to weld the diff as LSD's for these are expensive as hell and hard to find. And the open wheeler is just crap. But not sure I want to seeing as it will be a daily and not a skidpig. But I do want it putting down as much of the very little power it has to the road as possible haha.
  12. Hey all, just wondering if anyone knows if the toyota 1Y 1.6l engine and the 3Y 2l engine are interchangable, as in drop in and bolt up (like a 3k and 4k). As I've got a 86 hilux which is slow as balls and the engines getting old, so I figured if I could get a 3Y and bolt it up to all the gear then I'd be good to go. Can't find any info on the net so figured I'd ask around on the toyota forums ;) Yes I know the 3Y will be slow too, but atleast it will be able to get around the hills a bit better haha. All it is is a cheap beast. Cheers.
  13. Didn't realise turbo's are naturally aspirated? Now I need to go rethink my whole life.. :lolcry:
