The stalling under braking sounds like a separate issue, probably the dashpot or idle-up solenoid not holding the throttle open enough when you lift off. Worth checking it holds vacuum with the key on before blaming the carb itself.

That regulator Banjo mentioned is usually called an IVR, it pulses around 7 volts to the gauges so any drop on the main feed throws the duty cycle off. The relay mod should sort it right out. Got mines from CARiD, they were universal but worked perfectly on my KE70

Extractors alone won't do much, the 4K's stock manifold is already decent for low rpm torque so you really need the full 2 inch system and some head work before you'll notice anything.

Sounds like a common earth point rather than individual bulbs, these old Corollas have a ground strap behind the dash that corrodes and takes out multiple circuits at once. Worth checking that before chasing each wire separately.

Single click usually means the solenoid is getting power but there's a voltage drop before it can pull in. Check the main earth strap from the engine block to the chassis, those go crusty on old Rollas and cause all sorts of grief.

Nice score on the Evo intercooler, should be a solid fit once you rotate those elbows around!

Banjo, it's surprising that the Speeduino keeps running even after you disconnect the CAS pulse. Hopefully switching to rusEFI gives you the rock-solid continuous syncing

Yea man, after 25 years off the road I'd definitely replace both. Bearings don't like sitting unused for that long. They're like $10 bucks each on CARiD, so I see no reason not to change. Part number you need is "SET8", they are identical fr both sides, so order two.

The AE86 axle is probably your best starting point given the aftermarket support, but parrot's advice about talking to a diff specialist first is solid. they might save you a lot of headache by just building you something suitable from the start.

The only thing I did not consider - I still bought the OE hinges from one site (https://www.carid.com/hood-hinges/)... Along with tons of other things I need to fix my Corolla. So sometime on Friday will go and check on the hoods they've got at my local junk yards. So that by Tuesday I could get the ball rolling. Thanks everyone for replies and all your support, guys! Love your Corollas!

Yea, man, I checked on the prices and that carbon hood is $900+ and like $150 shipping... not my case, as I need plenty of other stuff to fix my Corolla... So maybe you are right, will check on junk yards first. My Corolla is white, and I may get either a black hood (I've got cool black rims) or white to match the color. Anyways thanks for replying, as after getting the list of what's got to be replaced I was kinda confused... And thought that maybe it's time to refresh the exterior with something cool... But you're right, the real carbon stuff is too costly. So will remove the hood from the list of 'to buy' things I've got for e-bay.

Hi folks, I am new to your guys forum. I've got a 2012 Corolla, which was badly damaged (front end) in a collision. Now need to get a new bumper, hood and get some under-hood stuff fixed as well (I will have my local shop do that). Wanted to ask you, if anyone has installed a carbonfiber or Duraflex hood on yall guys 'Rollas? Are they as cool as they advertise them? Also, if I decide to get a non-OE hood, will I need new hinges and stuff? As mine are dent on one side, so thinking whether I will try fixing 'em or will just buy new ones... Any ideas and reviews on aftermarket hoods are appreciated!!!
