Thanks for all the kind words, indeed it is a big project ahead
Some footage, sorry guys that everything we speak is in spanish (more so, in uruguayo). But you'll get the feeling. The car wasn't running as it should, but at least it run. It was boggin' and cuting, and wasn't idleing as it should.
After the ofending carb was removed and inspected, I decided that it will be a great time to do a quick rebuild. Also this carb, isn't original to this car, it was adapted sometime in the life of this car
I took the carb home, and what you do? Of course that you rebuild the carb in the kitchen of your house
after that the car was rebuilt, I started to get everything together. I bought new studs and gaskets for mounting the carb
and after a while, It was done!
do you think it worked? you bet! (that's a faint mark from some tire spin)
After the carb rebuild and a new vaccum diafragm was installed the car was running much much much better and we where able to do another bit of testing. -

Awesome car, a lot of work ahead!
thanks ms85er
This one is the only one that I know of in my country, I tracked a little of the history of this car and apparently it came imported from Miami in 93' and in 94' que PO bought it on a Customs Auction because nobody had claimed the car. But we have a lot of KE70's, KP61, TA40 (Celicas and Carinas)
Any way continuing with this story, after the car was legally mine I went there to pick it up with my other Corolla, and tow it to a friends house that's a mechanic in order to do a little tune up and get the car ready for a 100kmts trip to my parents house.
I'm the bald guy over there
The AE101 and the TE27, only 30 years apart
after we enter the "garage", and the *E7* Corolla badge
hood off, and you can't really call that a windshield, right?
pay atention to my friends foot coming through the floor
checking the front brakes, and doing a fast oil change
now trying to get the engine to idle correctly (sorry for the blurry photo)
since I couldnt get the engine to work properly I took off the carb, and got it ready for a rebuild. Also find out that the distributor vacum wasn't working as it should so I needed a new one, and there were a lot of parts very very worn, but the car strangly enough, was mecanically sound. It just had many and many years of neglected manteninance

Hi over here, long time no see, I'm back with another car. I already was here but no pictures are left on the old threads
Many moons ago I had this KE71
That after a lot of hardwork came out looking like this
And after a while without a RWD Corolla (I had an AE101 Corolla) I came across this, and I'm the proud owner of an 1973 Toyota Corolla, also known as mighty TE27. As a bit of history, the Toyota dealer for Uruguay is AYAX and it didn't import any Toyota until the 1980's so anything before that is very strange, so when I came across a sale post that reads "Toyota Corolla 1973" I had to have it, so I went to see the car, this are the first pictures I took...
the previous owner fidieling with the engine
interior shot
After working for a while under the rain we made the engine idle and sort of run as it should, quite a feat considering that the car haven't been started for almost 5 years, after it heat up a little and it was not dying, we took it for a "test drive"
given it very sorry state the car run great, much better than what one would thing after those pictures, and with that the deal was made
After almost a month of back and forth with the notary, all the paperwork came clear (very important and tedious step in my country) the car was legally mine, and so the journey begins.
As you can see the car is very very very (did I mentioned very) rusted, but is the only one that I know of in my country so I will try to do my best to restore it to it's former glory. I have many pictures to update this thread so I will try to do my best.-

the question as stated on the titile, one guy in this side of the planet sells a gearbox but i don't know which one is it
it looks like a K50 but he sais that it came out a 1C (1.8 diesel) so here i am asking to the people to know
-
well following your advise i lift the engine to change the gasket, but one nut didnt colaborate so i have to remove the engine
and as is said in the rollaclub faq i increase the oil pump pressure as well
i have no pics of the first part :D
so here we go
it looks good
not the best place to put an engine, but...
there is something missing here
check out the gearbox :sob: :o

in a web where a guy put an engine in the trunk of his acura, he do this with the brakes
and then says
No longer front wheel drive, thus no front drive axles, I used a 1" grade 8 fine thread bolt torqued to 192 ft.-lbs. to hold the preload on the front wheel bearings. There is a conversion formula to calculate bolt torque for equivalent tension load between two different bolt sizes and thread pitch. I also made a small bushing to hold the 1" bolt centered in the splined hole in the hub.the ones not painted are form a CE110 and the red ones from a KE70, can something be done???
and for the record I'm form uruguay so, no AE86, no RX7, no Silvias/200sx to take brakes from
thanks in advance

hello to all
my 4K is leaking trough the oil pan gasket and i have to change it
my question is... do i have to remove the engine form the engine bay or i can change the gasket from below???
thats it, thanks in advance

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

Yesterday driving arround my town i found an old toyota hilux practicaly destroyed, but it has the front (ifs) and rear (solid) axles there, a closer look revealed that the front discs where vented with two pistons and the rear diff was much bigger. the engine wasnt there but i think that used to be a 2.4 diesel in there, because the rear axle was big but no so big as the diff on the 4Runner
now in to the questions:
Can the discs and the rear axle suit the corolla?
how hard will it be?
-
and adding one more question.... an 4AF and K50, can it be possible?
because here is imposible to find a T50 with 22splines, here only the T50 with 20 the one that is behind the 2T, and those are quite hard to find
-
I'm interested too, because here you can't find any 4AGE but you can find 4AFE every were and very cheap too
-
thanks for all your responses
the car is a 81 Corolla Liftback, like yours T-18 but with a 4K inside, the migthy KE70
the fuel sender works (i make it work out side the tank), and the cable is soldered to the body of the sender
here is a close up of the cable and the clip
frosty, do you think it sould be soldered there??
EDIT:
looking in the EPC i found this....
you can see that the cable is soposed to be there, but it looks atached to something
-
As you can see in the pics i have a loose cable in the fuel sender unit, my question is if it's soposed to be like that
Becasue a loose cable inside a fuel tank isnt my first choice
Thanks in advance

Yesterday in a car "reunion" :blink: , I found this little guy parked outside
from memory its look like an old corolla, but which one?
-
when i said compatible is because i can't find other 4K distributor, not even think about a 5K dizzy
but thanks for all the responses
-
Is there any other compatible distributor for the 4K???

there are some cars for the carmageddon 2
http://tb.polygonized.com/downloads/c2cars/81corolla.zip
The migthy *E7*, a 2 door sedan for you
http://evilrealm.polygonized.com/c2/Corolla.zip
It says Corolla 90, but a little boxy for a *E92 more like a *E82
after you have instaled Carmageddon 2, download the Carstockalypse and use it to add the cars
and for the GTA fans there is a KE5* (very nice!)

i think that for the return of the 86 they could take the IS200 chasis and shorten it a bit, then make it light weight, add a 4 cilinder engine 2ZZ-GE, 3S-GE(this one came with the IS200), or they could also leeve the IS200 engines 1G-FE, 160hp and 2JZ-GE, 215-230hp
some thing like this: :wink:

Rack And Pinion On A Te21
in TExx Corolla Discussion
Posted
I also have been looking for something and apparently the easiest/best way is to go with the KP61 Starlet steering rack and steering column. You still need to fabricate the mounts for the steering rack, and mount the steering column, but I think that is better than other options that you have to modifiy que actual rack.
In this post are some pictures for reference
