  1. don't give up so easily on the 4y..... they are a good torquey motor, and not that different form a k series in diamensions. you may find the van box will work, toyota use the same gearboxs in some vans as some cars... like the w series... a bit of measuring and poking around in a wreckers yard is what you need to do
  2. :thumbsup: ew
  3. uuummm... no..... -7 is too much for anything! you need more front end grip, trust me try 3-4 max and see what happens... anymore and you will lose front end grip... not all cars alter camber that much when turning... and bodyroll does play a big part in it.. think about how things move....
  4. our mail order brides are russian. noises last night eh? ew :thumbsup:
  5. nah -7 is waaay to much
  6. thats one of the ones we'v sent over to oz, they make more $$$ there. was she good justin? :thumbsup:
  7. -7??? thats just silly. youll be losing grip, inless you have mega soggy suspension that rolls that much!
  8. ah! but the mini and beetle (the real one) were not changed all that much.... whereas the rolla has changed heaps! but still, good effort!
  9. thosuands. not limited edition
  10. read this: ECU debate take note of what fivebob says..... i rate em like this: 1 motec 2 link 3 microtech cause those are the ones iv seen. never even seen an autronic so can't comment.... microtech here had a bad rep, the only people that seem to like em are the rotor guys
  11. you can run the 20v head on a 4agze shortblock with no problems. no need to waste $$$ on custom pistons etc. just stick it on and away you go. been done hundreds of times
  12. right.. where do i start.... mikey, your in the states arent you? we use RON over here, you use PON. your 91 is equal to our 96. now, ae101 levins are designed for 100 RON octane fuel. NEVER NEVER EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE 91. i can only get 96 here, and have had to knock the static timming back to 8 deg on mine (on 100 its 10deg) so your prob will have been the knock sensor going nuts. fill it with 98. once you get rid of the 91 it should correct itself. the knocking noise you can hear could be the vvt pulley, they do fail.
  13. whats wrong with the proper kit?!?! only $30ish!!
  14. its been running like that for a year or so now. 4ages can handle quite a bit of boost stock. i think youl ahve probs running 15psi in a sc12.... they start to become unreliable at around 12 i think..... the small port head is superior to the big port. youd have to be pushing some serious boost and power to make a bogport head work properly! i even know of a small port thats had the ports filled to give best results....
  15. heres an interestign off topic thing..... rally otago on this weekend, if its dry, its possible a BDA coul dtake outright honours... hows that?! :dance:
  16. depends if you like giving ya passengers whiplash or not!! i HATE being a passenger in a car with one, a switch for a clutch isnt fun in traffic
  17. oh, and xany.... forget about a puck clutch for a daily driver. you WILL regret it
  18. TRD do t50 shortshift kits.... palmside do TRD kits and i think one they get made locally. i can do the TRD one for around $1800nz......
  19. hehe hence why iv fitted a catch can, after having the intake off and seeign the crap in there..... but it hasnt coked up the combustion chamber
  20. te71 levin/sprinter 2t-g not a bad car, but finding a good condition one could be tricky.... but worth a go, basiclly the AE86s daddy :P
  21. if you can find an import...... thing to remember with corollas is that ALL body shapes had all options..... cept for ae92 wagons. ae101 and ae111 wagons however did have all options, as in 4age and 6 speed etc. so getting back to the ae82..... yes the sedans had dics, they were the same as the hatchs brakes. but really your best mod would be to change the fluid and fit some decent front pads, if thats not enough, fit better tyres and back sure your suspension works ok. if you can lock uo ya wheels easy, then you don't need more braking power, you need more grip.... btw, my comments are based on a few different markets, i can't say if oz spec rollas had discs etc
  22. ill be brief... cause I'm liable to loose my temper :P you guys are right. over here they came up with the idea of resitting ya licence every 10 years.... damn good idea we all thought... by the time the law was passed.... it changed to an eye test and a fee every 10 years.... good one government :) they constantly pound in speed as the culprit for just about every accident..... they are missing the point... DRIVER EDUCATION YOU **** **** **** **** :D now I'm gunna go relax :insane:
  23. thats INSANE!!! right I'm staying here then
  24. when i asked about taking my levin to aus, i got quoted $2000 shipping, and $1000 agents fee.... that was within the last 2 months......
  25. yes the little things can add up.... but you can still build a good car for under $10k. mates built a ta63 race/rally car, cost them $7500 from scratch. deals can be done :)
