If beerhead wants to share his idea he will. Coronas arent hard to find, try looking before telling me its hard. You really wont want to pull the tank out again once its running, and its seriously dangerous to get fuel surge. Do it once, do it properly.
-
The pump will fit through the hole from memory, but you still wont have baffles inside, unless you want to open it up, or copy Beerheads idea and fit a commodoore intank pump and baffle setup that drops in from the top. Like I said you want atank from an Rt142 Corona or JDM AE86. You can do under car surge tanks.

Efi Into Ae71 Help... Correct Pump?
LittleRedSpirit replied to Victim's topic in AExx Corolla Discussion
Mate VLs have 2 pumps, a lift pump and an external pump. Most people replicate that system with the lift pump filling a surge tank and then the high pressure pump feeding and returning to that. In tank pumps require a baffled fuel tank from an efi car, you have limited options for this, youd need an ae86 fuel tank from japan or an RT142 corona tank with a couple of mods. Or you can mod a ke70 tank to have a swirl pot inside and a bigger opening. -
Ae71 Show Car Converting To Drift Slut
LittleRedSpirit replied to niiko101's topic in Rollaclub Rides
OK OK OK, where to start? You can add more than one picture to a post, in fact its basically unlimited how many photos you can put in a post, there is no reason to make 15 replies to add 15 photos. Also, what are you doing paying out on the older members here? Youre only here trying to learn all the stuff the older people have been onto for years. It goes full circle. I think you will find the best drift cars at the highest level of drifting are set up more or less like circuit cars looking for grip. Most people when starting out do a bunch of cheap tricks to get their underpowered old corollas sliding. Crack the tyre pressures right up, over stiffen everything in the suspension, stretch narrow rubber over wide wheels. All of which hampers your actual ability to steer and handle a car with precision. Don't get too caught up with fitting into a scene, just drive the damn car, and do mods that you have developed a need for, not just what everyone else does. If I bought this car, Id just get rid of the purple from the interior, put on normal bumpers, lights and grill, some nice 15s and then put good suspension into it, maybe even raise it an inch. That would get the suspension actually working. You should do some googling and reading about suspension ideas such as droop, rebound, compression, camber, caster, and toe. This is how you do a 20 valve cooling system. If I were you Id rework it as although this system you have used makes the best replication of the toyota fwd cooling system, its dog ugly and for the benefit you would get from keeping the cooling completely original, its just not worth it. You can simplify it down to just 4 hose clamps. -
Thanks. I'm thinking about putting the ae86 diff inon sunday, I got a new gearbox rear seal. I just can't face doing it in the backyard. Wish I had a hoist!

Weight distribution.
-
I think it would suck. I certainly wouldnt pay 4500 for it. Is it able to be registered in your name?
-
Not required until 4 piston brakes are fitted. Also waiting for terry to work his magic on the other 2. Plus tyres are expensive, and while i don't mind spending money on her, there are priorities right now.
-
Yeah they look good eh. I forgot to mention, I bought enough peak white to do the front end and engine bay today. Actual paint too, not pressure packs. I also got a new oil pressure sender for $2 from supershit. Theres a $20 k series clutch kit there. The other week i also finally bought a set of velocity stacks for the 20 valve. I'm just waiting on a part from samq and some powdercoated bits and I can do the engine swap. The 4ac is improving each day, if it had a rekitted carb itd go pretty good. Ill probably swap radiators soon, this ones got a hole, its been sealed but not too well. :wink:
-
Here are some pics for you all. The front end obviously is the wrong colour, but its all lined up good and at least the panels are still shiny. Check out the refinished wheels!
-
Mate, go to repco. Maybe $40 each for new ones. Failing that http://www.ozeparts.com.au.
-
yes. Its value is capped at 5000 dollars. Thats usually a good start at rebuilding if you claim salvage rights as well, provided that you can use some of whats found, if anything. The key is to go and show them the car once in a while as your building it, so that they can list all the extra work you have done and see the condition of it all.
-
Hmmm, I think here theyd want to steal that stuff more than the Corolla. Well, I just insured it, so I'm a little more at ease. Just 3rd party, fire and theft insurance. At least if some little punks take it I can get something out of the experience. The thought of facing a total loss the other day really got me worried. Next up Ill do some security measures. Top secret and sure to draw blood are how I shall describe them. :yes:
-
They probably saw that it had no stereo in it and decided it wasnt worth the effort. Still, it had mags on it, maybe they wanted em, thank f@$k they didnt torch it.
-
I'm not into car alarms but I'm thinking gps locator hidden somewhere, so if it goes missing i can just go find it. Baseball bat in hand.
-
So someones already tried to steal it. Arseholes only succeeded in wrecking a perfectly good door lock. I would kill them myself if I caught them. I'm setting up insurance for it tonight. f@$king mega arsehols bogan Oxley c**ts, I want to kill you all fkn darb ass c**ts!
-
If it wasnt multicoloured it wouldnt have matched all the other corollas that were there. lolz
-
Man sorry to hear about the continued bad luck. I wish people would pay attention whilst driving. :S 4age conversion looks pretty tidy. Nice one. :dance:

Affordable Lightweight Wheels
LittleRedSpirit replied to Invisible Dark's topic in Automotive Discussion
Then youd be looking for 4x100. These things are pretty damn light, and this style is also poular amongst fwd people. Its called SSR MK2r. Clears modern 4 piston brakes and honestly probably weighs under 7kg for a 15x7. -
Affordable Lightweight Wheels
LittleRedSpirit replied to Invisible Dark's topic in Automotive Discussion
Whats available will depend on your stud pattern. So what type of car do you have. If its a fwd rolla youd be looking for 4x100. If its rwd probably 4x114.3 or 4x110. So whatchya got? -
What about the AE71? 4ac power!
-
Sweet as, when are you looking at coming down? Wanna help me swap a diff? lolz
-
Go to a radiator shop and have it recored, that will cost around $275. Or you could take it to them and if the hole isnt a big issue they might just braise it shut. Id steer clear of adding any stop leak shit unless you were stuck on the side of the road somewhere.
-
Yeah mate, send me a message when your here in brissy. Ill arrange for you to meet soem of us in the club, might even be able to have a little show and shine in your honour. :S there is a place here where a lot of the car people hang out on weekends called 'Munchies'. Theres enough fast cars there to blow anyones mind, more American and Aussie muscle than anything else, but the Jap stuff is starting to represent. Especially with the help of rollaclub.

SSR mk3s are fixed.
