  1. Has map sensor, got a brand new one but made no difference. Will suggest tps and vaccine leak to him on Monday
  2. Cool I'll have a look this afternoon when I go check on the car, yeah fair point, he is good, but spends most of his time on fiats, lancias, alfas etc. cheers for the advice
  3. Hi all, have an issue with the rolla, will start and idle, but as soon as you put any revs on it, it gets " chocked" and almost does. Has new plugs, new fuel filter, exhaust isn't blocked, tried a new map sensor, new air filter, just won't go past 2k. Left me stranded on my way to work yesterday. Couldn't even drive it onto a car trailer as I said it chocked itself one you aply power. My mechanic doesn't seem to think its the fuel pump, but he has no idea what the problem is. Help please?!!
  4. hey, Well I'm no expert, but I do read a magazine called retro cars which is a uk mag. they always seem to have all sorts of vauxhalls an opels etc and there seem to be lots of conversion kits available to make lots of the ff motors fit fr set ups, opel manta's vauxall chevette's ( our gemini) seem to be commonly used as the gearbox with these new engines in a rwd conv. So possibly a gemini box? or see if you can pick up a copy of "retro cars" an shoot them an email an they will gladly help. good luck mate, sounds like an awesome idea!
  5. managed to find this pic an got it into an album, but can't figure out how to put it up here so I'll just post the link lol http://www.rollaclub.com/board/gallery/album/754-our-family/
  6. Oh nice to know I'm not the only wagonthusiast lol :2thumbs: hey that sounds like an absoloutly PERFECT plan!!!
  7. yeah I'd stay far far away from that horrible monstrosity!! half crusty old british nightmare half awesome corolla lol (my apologies to any fans of the jaguar lol)
  8. oh awesome! can't wait to hear what the importer has to say!! Auto is fine by me, an like you say a 6 speed conversion shouldn't be too hard ;) I actually saw one on the net that had a full ae-111 trueno front end on it! lol it looked real nice. Hell YES!!! that is exactly what I want, then I'm going to serch high and low to find as many ae10* jdm options to put in and on it lol, is it strange I want a wagon like that so bad?
  9. Yeah been looking at trade me, some nice examples on there. True caldina's a very nice and probably faster and handle better, but I know of a few caldina's in the local area, and I just want to be as different as possible lol. thinking I may have to contact some importers in Melbourne or Sydney and see what they think
  10. This sounds alot like what I was saying to my wife in the bob jane t-mart store before we got ours wheels lol. I want to run about 2 deg negitive camber at the front an1 or 1.5 at the rear for handeling purposes (thats my main aim.. Handeling) but untill the ft-86 is released, the ae92 is classed as my wifes car so I can't change her wheels lol. Was just wondering if there is a way around my problem with the silly big wheels on it such as the pillow ball top mounts for the struts, Yes this is far from my first budget run about, I've had about 30 corolla's over the years and have put quite a bit of money into the seca, mainly in the handeling an some tasty jdm interior parts
  11. hi guys, just wondering if anyone can help me, I'm trying to find out any info on the ae-101 bz touring wagon and also if it is possible to import one into australia or even if someone knows of any already here? not a real common car I guess and many would simply say "why bother?" but I love to be different, love corolla's, have a family, but also enjoy driving an these lil beasts have 20 valve 4A-GE's in then so it sound like a pretty good mix to me ;) but is it possible here in Australia or do I need to move to a different country lol
  12. hi all, Well I have an ae-93 sx seca with 17" rims on it, 7.5" wide i believe. And I have a different problem... I can't run ANY negative camber (which really sucks!!) because the rims will touch on the strutts, but the rear wheels scrub badly on the guards around every corner or over any bump, and thats with just me in the car!! My front wheels also rub on my whiteline adjustable sway bar at almost full lock :bash: can i get those adjustable strut top plates for my car to cure my camber and guard issues? also here is a link to a pic of my car as I'm computer illiterate an can't figure out how to put it up here lol http://www.rollaclub.com/board/gallery/image/8199-med-gallery-13236-765-1133344jpg/
  13. Oh cool, thanks for the info :happy: I'll try that first thing tomorrow and let you know how I go :dance:
  14. Idle speed when warm is around 900-1000 rpm. Ahh well it doesn't sound like the wax pellet is my issue then :hmm:
