just out of curoisty what are you doing with the carby cause you will ether have to have it as a suck through (seals don't last very long on normal turbo's that way) or blow through (have to build a presurised box to put carby in so that the carby wont blow its self apart and make's tuning very hard) put injection of a 5k starlet motor? on easyer cheaper to both assemble and tune plus u have injection that way to mark

hey An old speedway trick was to drill about 5 to 7 holes equaly around the thermostat so that way even if does stop working you have a small amount of water flow. Which can be the difference between a blown headgasket and just a very hot motor. if you want to do away with the thermosat then get a bit of exhaust tube and press in a welch plug with around 5 to 9 holes (depending on how hot or cool you wanna run it the more hole's the hoter it runs) and does basicly the same thing as a thermostat. But also makes the water pump work a heap harder when used with a thermostat and force's any air out of the motor and wont blow the head gasket (if of top quality ie acl race series) as there is no air for the motor to boil. But hoses tend to blow off at around 140deg lol and that was on a 250xflow which are renounded for blowing head gaskets As for flushing the system try just having a hoses pushing water through the motor on some of the heater pipe's or replace the welch plugs and flush the block out that way ralitivly easy and cheap to 20 bucks whould cover it. oh and flush you heater to grate way of droping the temp on a hot day mark

hey i rang the bloke decided not to get it need to much body work to be done and carnt have no car for a month or 2 which suxs sounded really good to had a bit of rust in l/h sill both gards stuffed at bottom rust on r/h dog leg and a piller had a samll hole he said pretty good for a 30+ car yeah just cars valued it at 3 grand mark

new air cleaner really helps in performence and fuel econamy good oil and fresh also helps a lot keep it clean ie wash is once a month or so and your mechanic will thank you or you wont get as dirty working on it and replace parts that need to be replaced as for more performence a set of ractors and exhaust will help mabey a free flowing air clean (holley type one) any more then that and ull start using more fuel othrwise put a 4agze or a 20v motor in will help as well should just bolt in with a a same model front cut wire and everything will work with out mods mark

well i found an engineer but havet been able to catch him yet which will cost $600 total accord into my mate so when i read an engineer's report how do i read it ie how do i tel when something has been approved even though its a sa one should be pretty in vic id say but mabey a few little things? mark

yeah have to call a mate who has a r100 with a 13b and get the guy who engineerd that number i whould probly have lower insurence but i havent had a car insured in my name yet so no matter where i go it going to be dear and it whould still be a cheap quick little club car anyway mark

yeah iam hoping to get down to around 2 but with everything done to it will still be cheap at 2500 but whould be around $4000 by the time i got it on the road after engineer reg insurence not bad at $405 3rd party (just cars) thinking seriously at haveing a look this weekend what do ke25 normal weigh anyway thanks mark

I'm selling due to upgrading to a newer car. Its in reasonable good condition for its age, minumal dents and rust! all work has been professionaly done (over $6k in receipts). The motor and gear box (5sp) is from a Jap Spec AE86 (sprinter), motor has done roughly 110,000kms, the body has 2??,???kms on it. It has been tidied up quiet abit since i bought it, the dash was f@$ked, its now got a brand new like dash pad, not one crack/mark etc on it, it had gauges everywhere, no heater, glove box, everything is back to stock standard, interior wise except the fix back bucket sparco seats, it now has a rear seat also, cos the fuel pump was to loud in the boot hehehe There is new moulded carpet, four (4) new firestone tyres. Changed filters, oil, coolant, plugs, leads etc last week. Has shelbys front sway bar, new pedders gas ryder shocks in the back, 2" exhaust, with cat converter Only a few minor things to complete this little rocket are, re-attach head lining, and give it a fresh coat of paint. Everything has been made/modded for intention to road register it in the future, or it would make an excellent track/rally car. Also, it has rack and pinion steering out of an AE92 corolla, turns on a dim, and is light as a feather, it almost feels like it has power steering! The front brakes/struts are from a TA22 celica (230mm disc's), and a later model corolla diff with TA22 drums on the rear, pulls up very nice, hydrolic clutch/pedal from a mazda MX5. Any other questions regarding the car, pleae email or call me. i am so getting over trying to find info on cars when people can say go here have a look i found a bit more again the driver's door just been replaced the more i find on car the more tempting it is trying to get a copy of the prelimanary engineer's it supose to of had any comment's thanks mark

yeah the odyssey battery's are the excide ones i was taking about not quite the best but so damn close and the only battery i whould want in my boot if i put one there even at $330 mark

nah mate its original orange from look of it and in victoria http://forums.toymods.org.au/index.php?t=m...18a1f4e76aa49d5 and youll find pics there not sure how to put pics on the forums yet he wants 2500 for it and aparently came from sa so whats wrong with that red one body stuffed mark

if you mean the one from toymods thats orange then yes from what ive been able to find out its had a prelimenary engineer's so i should at least be able to find out what it will need from that. thanks for the info mark

hey i just found a ke25 2 door with a 4age in it what should i look out of for when i take a look at and how hard is it to get a eng report on them ie just a pad upgrade or ra60 struts etc. now there rack steering are they but leaf spring (ill get over it) it looks from pics to have rust in left sill left door right door has been bent slightly from hit on gard rust behind back wheel at bootom of 1/4 panel left side etc usual spots for something this old. also how strong are there diff's and can they be upgraded say ke70 panelvan diff? thanks mark

sounds like noise in back something to do with the brakes mabey bit lose or something the tick could be the injector's i don't think 4age have lifters mark

Yeah 500cca is allways good and you can get up to 1200cca from some battery's on 12v as for battery box's if supercheap don't have them try a marine place they will. Also if you have to money the best battery will be a recombant battery (i think that how it spelt) which don't give off any gas and are lighter to (race cars use them) and can be mounted anyway u want as wont spill but cheaper ones from exide cost around $330 trade while the top shelf ones are arounmd $600 from rocket industry's. Thats for 500cca battery's which is the bottom of the line for excide and about middle for the ones from rocket industry's there small as to mark

thanks so i need to buy one from the simpson desert so i get no rust any where lol which motor is in the t18 as well thanks for awnsering all my questions to it is appreciated mark

k so basicly the same all round apart from body shapes and engines. So what are the strong points of each car or are they all pretty much the same fuel performnce weight cababilty etc. And what are the body's like to rust some more prone then other's and i take it the te71 wasent reased here only the te72 or just not in ae86 shape? mark

hey more reseach more hours etc what are the t 18's like apart from stronger diff and bigger motor from what i can find out they basicly the same as ae71 ae86 and ke70 are box steering but can be changed cheaply later on are they just a 2 door version of the ae71 but different motor and whats the better one of the 2 as these could solve the tool box problem if so required *edited cause of tiredness*

hey when ive been doing research on ke70 ae71 i saw some post's from teady about not being able to get spoiler etc well i found this about 6 months back looking for one for the corty and had this there to http://www.canberracarstyling.com.au/showI..._dam.JPG,medium has other toyota's as well mark

lol motor nothing short of no oil or water will kill it as it has the computer dizzy in and wont rev past 5500 and they hold together stock till 7500 normally Auto bloody strong got dumped in reverse at 120 dident lock the rear dident kill just made lots of oil smoke and drove away ( happend 9 months ago no noise) diff same as motor no oil or lots of single spiner burnout about it Body well nufin short of truck tree wombat or sledge hammer but id lay momey it could at least be driven home (mate had one took 3 tree's out at 100clicks before the 4th stoped it and dident drive it home only due to no water in rad they can be killed but it take's much effort lol and yes iv tried most of that as well but anther storie

hey i can downgrade from an xf you know i beleave there called gemini's id rather a model t for everyday driving then a gemini. But hey u can't destroy a xf i know ive tried 3 times and i only have the slightest bit of paint missing on the bumber. (twice on embakements and once with anther car which backed into me while i was getting fuel at servo did like 500 buck's damage to the vl and scratched my bumber lol) leafspring all right but why when there are beter options for the same price and i have an allmighty hate of steering box's after trying to get the xf one have a fague feel to it (poly bushes etc all new joints checked like 10 boxes at wreakers go the best one adjusted it up etc and still dident really know what they were doing) plus rack much simpler kiss theroy. Main duties are daily driver but some sprited driving but needs to be cheap to run due to crappy first year app wages once i get past that iam gunna be looking for more potential ether from it or anther car. As for front drive harder and dearer to work on plus i have a personal preferance towards rear drive anyway mark

so is that car getting taken to new zealand so that sea lion can have fun with it? mark

sweet that give me money to put toward the corty or a 4age front cut properly both lol found one but not sure on ae or ke so ill have to find out and get the falcon sold mark

hey hey must just be people who have or are after ae71 that can't get it to work lol mark

hey just woundering how do you use the seach button on this page i can figure it out thanks mark

hey Mx5's go for around 7 up s 13 siliva whould be all right but i want something half reasonble and if i went them id want turbo and manual i assume non turbo and auto. Unfortently rotorie's use to much fuel as id love one of them but id want a s4 manly beacuae i hate steering box's (i like to know what the front wheels are doing. R31 skylines are all right but use a bit to much fuel same with vl crapadore or earlyer ones. 180b 200b and stanza hard to get with no rust well from everywhere i looked anyway. Dnd sigma's with the 2.6 use to much fuel in crab form and want something that i can use straght away. which leave me with corona last of the celica's and corolla. and in which the only other's left are eskcorts cortina's torana's early mazda 323 etc. cotina use to much fuel in both 4 and 6cly same with torana eskcorts not bad but worse then corolla and leaf spring which ant to bad but whould rather stay away from. mazda 323 i don't know much about apart from there rear drive any info? and cappla's etc are starting to very dear for a good one due to rotorie conversions etc and yes i do know that iam a fusy basterd but hey i know what i like and don't like in a car. so i think iam gunna go a ae71 unless an 86 pop's up and is in better condition etc but doubt it plus there a lot cheaper oh ive been told 86 stuff bolts in diff's susp etc that true. thanks for all the help mark ps what do pretty overrated very rust free one's go for thanks
