Redwarf

I love enthusiasm, I encourage it, but take it from someone with 20 years motorsport competitive (in Corolla's) and admin experience, it won't work. Gemini's have been a great series in both track and rally, but their time is approching rapidly. This year was the last year for the Gemi's in Qld rallying, and I'd say their track life would counted in a handful of years. IF you plan to run a series based the Corolla, you need to look at what made the Gemi's so popular. Ease of purchase, ease of parts, cost of parts, ability to buy $500 car, cage it, race it. The more restrictions you put on a class, the harder it is for first timers to enter. ie: 4AG + T50, not readily available for RWD without paying 2 x value of car, not OEM fitment meaning mods to fit to car, plus uprate diff etc..... First timers will be your core market, and you need to make it as simple as possible for them to enter. What are you going to offer sponsers? In these times sponsers want value for money and exposure. You have to ask who outside a very (relatively) small community nobody will give a rats. Excels are replacing Gemi's in the rally world as we speak. Cheap, modern cars, reasonably robust and a car people can relate to. If you want money, you need to go modern. In all honesty, watching Corolla's at Willowbank would send me to sleep. Watching Corolla's at Lakeside would only be good for the carnage. They're handy at Morgan park, but like any track work, kW's are your friend. And if you don't keep a lid on mods, they with the biggest cheque book will win. Which will be the case in the long run anyway.

TISM. Probably a bit NSFW, and if you look at any off the other TISM clips, there's a better than average chance they will be, too.

That and it's only safe to do 80 with Standard fuel and cross-ply tyres. :(

I got mine from Meridian, and I'm reasonably happy with them. Only very minor adjustments required.

Bell housing is different. I believe that you can't just bang a A-series housing on it either. Sell the T series one, buy an a-series one. Problem solved.

Diffs are designed to take stress in one direction. By running them backwards you are stressing the wrong face, and you'll go through diffs at an excessive rate.

I don't think they're that big. I'm fitting some to mine ATM so I'll try and get some photos tomorrow for you. R

Call me when its done.

If you're talking aout using a KE30 pedal assy in a KE20, it's not going to happen.

It's just THE best day of your life, isn't it? :jamie: Congrats. R

Given that I could probably count the amount of TE27's in this country on one hand, I'd guess that it's not a 27. All Aus delivered KE20's had a cable clutch. Give us a picture and we'll have a look at what it is. I had a hydraulic master in one car that was not even OEM Toyota, thus it could be anything.

Where did the "O" come from? If the number is 3K-0xxxxxx, that would be the engine number. And if it's the original engine, i think it should be green in colour. :)

Listen... Mushrooms again, or just feeling a little retro? :P

Like a 1970's derived pushrod motor with all it's reliability or lack thereof. They'll put up with a certain amount of punishment, but they like TLC. You'll have more grunt with a worked 3T, but you're better off in the long run with a 4AG.

Not properly. It may not be as expensive as you think. I've had it done a couple of times, although I was charged "rally" rates.

Originally they were made by Metrinch. A couple of other companies have copied the idea now. I have some as well, and they're good value.

A piece of water pipe on the breaker bar.

Gday and welcome to Rollaclub. Now, before we go any further we need some information from you, otherwise all you're going to get is more questions. What's wrong with the 7AFE? Why do you want to change? How handy are you on the tools? And, the most important question is: How much money are you willing to spend to accomplish your goal, bearing in mind that you'll never get it back when you sell? The more information you give, the easier it is to supply answers.

That's cool. $800 is still a good price.

$800 is a good price. A half cage will only allow you to do basic motorsport.

If it's in Brisbane, I'm more than happy to come and look at it for you as an independent person who knows what they're worth, but doesn't want it.....

I know you can get Bilsteins for the back (I have some) but I ran TA22 struts in the front, so can't help there.....

Dude, how did you get to be that old????? I agree with 7 shades. I'm ten years older and can't grow a mo even close to that! :P Oh, and happy belated birthday. :(

Does the geometry of the car warrant an adjustable?

Dude, they grow on trees. Make a "wanted to buy" thread, and wait a bit. One should pop up.
