Every plug has a part number on it. get the magnifying glass out, read the numbers and google them, this will lead you to the Toyota manual that contains all the information you seek, which is hosted online somewhere, you just have to find it.

He an artist, what can I say. Arches are solid and strong feeling too, so I don't think we have compromised any structure. I'm considering my next purchase, either Rose jointed caster arms from TTT or upper 4 link arms that are adjustable, again from TTT. I'm not a fan of the angle the diff sits at and I want a crisper feeling wheel with a bit more feedback. Anyone have any opinion on what is more important, or should I just do both mods?

I bought used badge sets from the US of A. Both sets are overrated. I guess they have SR-5 badging on Corollas over there, or sprinters maybe I can't remember. I'm sure a US member can clarify if they happen to read this.

Yes but the bigger bore master cylinder will take more effort to move and not have to move as far to displace enough fluid, the smaller cylinder will be easier to move as it displaces less per given distance. Short answer is more feel I guess, as the stock size is a bit large a piston to use without a booster I'm guessing. Thats my rationale anyhow, Id like to hear Chris and Tonys input too.

OK, that looks excellent, I see what you did there. It looks like the twin masters line up roughly with the 4 bolt holes that used to attach the booster. Looks like you adapted the balance bar idea to the standard pedal more or less. Id really like to come over and have a look in the flesh very soon if thats ok. Cheers, Mate. Thanks Ross, just keeping the faith. I had 2 packages arrive today, both with overrated sets of badges from the US of A. I'm gonna give Timmy a pair of 1.8 badges for his 7age track car build that will be spare. Ill have a spare SR-5 badge if anyone is keen aswell.

Not much, just have all 4 wheels on now, went for a long highway blast with them on Sunday. Went great, no scrubs with 15x8 neg offset even on highway bumps. The throttle cable has been replaced. Might look into doing some more tuning soon. Ill get Rob Novak to reassess the situation, theres a little fuel smoke here and there, especially off the line. Nothing drastic, economy is still 400klms to a tank, when i first got it going it was around 380 but have made a lot of adjustments to things. Looks a bit ghetto with a bit of primer on the front gaurds. I looked at another ae71 for sale over the weekend with a near perfect body but they wanted a small fortune for it so I passed on that one. It was auto anyhow.

Southernways Mesh. Circa 1983. Same as the car.

15x8 fronts are -8 rears are -6

Lol, hands in pockets!

Yes I'm with Sam, super easy as conversions go, especially with a halfcut, you'd have to be a moron to cock it up, especially with rollaclub here to help you a bit.
-
Maybe ebay or some one local depending on price. Ill look into them when the time comes. Terry appeared out of the blue today and handled the rest of the flaring/repairs on the car. It looks great, Ill let the pics do the talking. Make sure you lean back you don't want to get drool on the keyboard, ok. I also fitted a straight bumper that I got from Kelvin (rollin along) the udder day. Its such a dramatic improvement.
-
If you could that would be great, I believe I just need it to do the same as the stock one does as far as master sizes goes, but I was wondering about ratio as you said. I am also wondering how I would go with space around the column and floor. Any photos you could put up would be solid gold. Its a bit hard to know what fits right without the different balance bar setups to dummy fit. I was interested in the type that puts the masters under the dash, instead of the bay also. What type do you guys run? Cheers.

Only on DX grills. Nothing for any adm cars.

That was sugar well spent.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...BSA:MOTORS:1123 Just won some badges for this car on ebay.
-
Well thats state of ORigin again plus my car is on stands lets try for the next one. Sorry if you were keen for this one...
-
I went to see rollin along today. Picked up a new rear bumper and throttle cable. The when I got home the mysterious Mungi mods had appeared and was ready to kill some more rust and fit wheels. The rear was a pain but its all in the right place now. The front was nothing maybe 15 minutes from start to finish. We have done the right side, the left is still to be looked at, but it seems to cover a bit better there anyhow. Maybe the diff is off to the right a bit.
-
Looks sick man but it will be too low when you lower the car. Move it up about 2 -2.5 inches. Especially if you are gonna cut it.
-
So today i became tired of the flogged out steering column and swapped it out for a overrated one that I had from some other random corolla. I even adjusted the end float after working out how so its tighter than a jewish fishes asshole. The pedals were floppy and squeaky so i greased and tightened them back up. I also discovered a small squeak coming from my right front caliper so Ill have to have that pulled down and cleaned most likely, once its up on the hoist having the quaife rack put back into it.
-
Thanks mate. I see you've joined the ke70 party aswell.

AE86 coilovers, or modify XT130 struts to coilovers and then you get a bigger stub axle/bearing and a tad more neg camber.
