Western Revheads

Ok so its been awhile and I've not done anything on the manual but I will be in the next month or so, need to get the cars RWC so I can legally change the transmission without having the car tested and stuff like that. So I've done a few other things since last time, I've installed a new steering wheel, Nardi personal, I've replaced another door hahahahaha, only one of the original doors left now and I've installed a Tacho dash in replacement if the analog quartz clock, also put in a new racing seat for the driver as I think a cool racing seat look is awesome in this car. All of this stuff can me found on the YouTube channel if not in a video by itself then in a larger video. here are some photos

if you have changed your gearbox from something else like an auto to manual transmission, you might either have set up the reverse gear sensor in your gearbox wrong, in an automatic its in the gear shifter area so that the car doesn't start in anything other than park or neutral, this can be override but just bypassing it the black two get joined to bypass the auto's "start in park" system. The red two get used for the reverse lights. The green & white I left under the carpet. They carry power when the headlights are on to light up the auto shift display. The red wires plug into the plug into the reverse sensor plug, well you'll have to cut and re-plug the wires. *Plug* it may be that the wires are broken or cut somewhere else.

hey guys ive got it on the rollaclubs main site http://www.rollaclub...nsmission-swap/

just read the whole post, all 5 pages hahaha, looking forward to reading more.

I swapped the drivers door today (right side for america XD) and put the new mirrors on both the doors now, it looks great, just need to paint them then they will look amazing. also I took off the scuttle board a few days back and painted it white, because it had a lot of surface rust on it. so I sanded it back with a wire brush attachment for my electric drill, back to bare metal. Then I painted it and baked it in the car, cause Australia and car means hot AF, so it cooked up nice. Looks good too. Got my mate Michael to help me with the door today, big tip if replacing door get a friend to hold door then you do the bolting of the hinges.

Sorry everyone I got told it was a K-40 gearbox not T-40, I keep forgetting that. I've done a lot of stuff since the original post, I sanded the boot and painted it with waterproof rust proof paint, also putting rust converter on a lot of exposed rust points. I've also picked up a repair manual book I got a few parts for the transmission swap the manual transmission for one, I need to reseal the top gasket, and I gave it a clean before I did that. before cleaning after also I got new rear seats, as the original cotton ones were ripped and it was cheaper to get new ones than get them re-upholstered. plus they are Blue vinyl, so I have installed them. also cleaned up the badges as they had obliviously never been cleaned as the had grass and mold growing on them. got a new gear shifter knob from autobarn, it was a SAAS rip off brand, it had multiple gearbox design stickers to put on it. and I just today (melbourne cup day) installed new mirrors on the passenger door, still need to swap the drivers door to the AE71 door, but I have a mirror for that too. all in all its starting to look good, I just need to cut out all the rust from the boot seal trim, and replace the metal, going to do that with aluminium, and then I can get a RWC for it and get it registered in Victoria. As it is a South Australian car it was registered there when I got the car I got it unregistered. So rust remove and replace, and the RWC and Register then Transmission swap begins.

thanks ms85er i might stick with the transmission swap for now just to get it road worthy, then think about that upgrade.

thanks bro, sorry k40 and t40 differences, i forget sometimes

hey everyone I'm doing a auto to manual transmission swap and I got the transmission of a guy and I only just realized that it doesn't have any of the transmission wiring. Does anyone have a diagram of the loom so i could make one up or anyone know where I can get a wiring loom for the transmission? looking for the wiring in the photo, not the clutch cable, I have that. I'm literal ready to put it in and I don't have the thing to make it run, the wires. so please help someone.

Name: Mitchell Car: 1982 Toyota Corolla KE70 Motor & Driveline: stock 4k-c auto, soon to be manual 4 speed Suspension & Brakes: stock Wheels & Tyres: stock Interior: Vinyl Back seats, Front Cotton ripped so got sheep skin covers on them now has bucket seat for driver and AE86 ADM passenger seat Body: got a lot of rust in the boot, and doors, swapped the front doors to AE71 doors , I think they look way better. it has only one of the original doors left Other: I got the car because it was cheep and they are easy to fix. also my Mum, Dad and Grandma, had one each all at the same time back in the 80's, so I grew up hearing about the cars. My Mum and Grandma, both had KE70 sedans and they were the light blue colour ones. They both got them the same day from the same dealership and the number plates were different by one number so my mum got the door rubber guards so they could tell them apart. My dad had the AE71 Wagon, and he told me just the other day, (these are his words not mine) "The 5 speed wagons flew, I was once going on a camping trip with your Mum, going up to Queensland, and I was going down a mountain, and there was not a single soul on the road, so I just floored it. I got pulled over doing 170 kph, and the cop said I'm not gonna give you a ticket cause no one is gonna believe me that a toyota can go that fast. I got off with a warning." XD I'm upgrading the transmission to the t-40 4 speed manual, the auto still works, but slow, the engine it self is overrated, the car is also in half good nick, lots of rust but nothing that can't be cut out or rust converter put on it. The car was owned buy a nun and a co-worker of the nun, only driven on weekends to church, got it off an old lady. comes from South Australia, Adelaide, now in Victoria Melbourne. needs a paint, the parts are all good, no dents, only rust holes, and their not visible, needs a good fix, I have a YouTube channel that I'm showing the build of it. starting to look good. https://www.youtube....prnt8QAB67Fzycw

hey guys I just replaced a rusted out door on my new KE70 I got from an old lady, the doors are slightly different for the mirrors, the original just had a mirror drilled into the door on the metal, but the new one has a triangle area for the mirror to go on, I've looked it up and I think the new door is from a KE70 GL my car is a SE, can someone confirm it for me and if anyone has a spare drivers door of the new style in australia vic melbourne area, please let me know. (brown car door like the old one, yellow car door like the now one)

if its stalling under throttle and choke, then it might be that the engine is not getting enough air or too much air, too much air and the fuel will burn to quickly and stall the engine before the next compression of the pistons. look at the idle choke setting, it may be set too high.
