  1. I threw an AE86 front cut out out once. It was many many years ago though. Now thinking seriously about selling my AE86 because of a lack of room. What a choice to make. The KE15SL or the TE27 or the AE86. But doubt I’ll be able to bring myself to do it
  2. Which booking service did you use?
  3. I’m involved in bone marrow transplantation and unfortunately see stories like this everyday. Things have changed substantially since I started in 1991, but some people still have a very hard time of it
  4. Hmmm that sounds familiar. I became heartily sick of AE86DC also. Rollaclub was and remains a breath of fresh air. And that came down to good moderators
  5. Also occurs to me, may be specifically designed to only fit properly in one direction
  6. Oh well you might need to use some sort of adhesive to encourage it to stay on. I would use a rubber cement, but no need to overdo it
  7. Let us know how you get on
  8. It doesn’t look like there are any clips. I suspect it just sits there. I reckon you need to take the light out so you can fit the sealing ring over the ridge on the lamp body itself properly. It looks like you only need to remove one retaining screw for the assembly.
  9. That’s looking pretty good!
  10. I think I know what you mean but suspect it would be a good idea to post a picture. Helps to know the model also.
  11. That’s fantastic news! Hopefully they have been able to identify the cause to prevent a recurrence?
  12. How does it determine fuelling? Is there some sort of rudimentary ecu?
  13. That's awesome! And scary at the same time!
  14. Ask the social worker for information about VPTAS (patient transport assistance scheme). Hopefully you live more than 100kms from the hospital, if so you are eligible. I’ve attached the link, and you can get hard copy forms from the social work dept https://www2.health.vic.gov.au/hospitals-and-health-services/rural-health/vptas-how-to-apply Provides reimbursement of travel costs and contributes to accom costs. You do have to pay upfront then claim reimbursement but it does help. You may also be able to get a discount parking voucher from social work also. Ask the ward clerk to chase them up for you.
  15. Not good. Fingers and toes and everything else are well and truly crossed. At least you are in the right place, and she will be treated and cared for amazingly well.
  16. I reckon they would contribute to your overall downforce
  17. I assume you mean AE86?
  18. Can I google Kahili Blundell at work. I don't know who she is
  19. That’s a great looking car! Hopefully the paint isn’t hiding too much. What’s a MAACO paint job?
  20. If they have faded that quick, I would wonder if anything will help? Pwrhaps worth chatting to Toyota Heritage. They have a range of lenses made I gather to a higher standard, and there must be a market with all the 70 series getting around. See if Gary will do a run of them. They presumably wouldn’t be so cheap, but there is a reason these are so cheap
  21. There is one getting around in Melbourne that was imported from Japan. The guy also rallies a converted local car. Mind you, we TE27 owners tend to sniff at TE37's as the somewhat inferior cousin to our thoroughbred's But then, as mine is still a shell and boxes and boxes (and yet more boxes) of parts, perhaps I shouldn't be quite so judgemental..... In reality they are probably somewhat rarer.
  22. Google his name. I understand if you pickup in person and can view before you pay, he is ok.
  23. If that’s Gordon Cross you might want to think twice. More a Celica guy though. The answer to your question is no. Keep an eye on the usual suspects on eBay in Spain and UK but expect to pay lots.
  24. It will run poorly and you will struggle trying to get small enough chokes. You need to dramatically increase the airflow to make it work. This was a thread I posted years back with some suggested settings on various applications. I can’t open the thread, not sure why, but if you can it may help
  25. I dot know. But need more info - cam, compression, porting, valve size etc.
