You just need to find an old fashion brake place, or a wrecking yard. Brake shoes are brake shoes. A return spring from something else will fit. Look for another car with a similar size rear drum as a starting point. Find something and try them. If they are right, and from a newer local model, you could then order new ones if you think it necessary.

Any excuse to thumb the library is welcomed :D

I know in my modern car, that the oil after a year runs out of the sump like water, it is so totally non viscous compared to what was put in. I think there is a bit of petrol in it which I suspect is an issue with cold start injector fitted cars. Perhaps it is something along those lines?

To coin a phrase, "oils aint oils". :moon: Most importantly thing is to change it regularly. Having said that, I have no idea about the difference between Mobil 1 AND Mobil 17. But as above, I think most people tend to stick with old faithful, whatever that means for you. But since Carbonboy has seen fit to taunt me, the "Toyota Emission control & maintenance guide - 1986" stipulates Grade SE, SF or higher grade. This classification system is obsolete these days. Essentially use a "good" multigrade oil. 10W-40, 20W-50 or whatever, which is better suited to the Australian climate, unless you live on the top of Mt Kosciuszko.

My late bigport uses Mobil 1

Leave the new one in?

You could try these. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/350751102903?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Fit the springs as a pair if they fit

The penis of America according to 30 Rock. I laughed. Take the one from the other side into your local brake shop and I'm sure they will be able to match it. Failing that, you could take a punt on the brake spring kits via the USA parts clearing houses on ebay. Search under corolla 1100.

I've just picked up an additional AE86 GT spec handbrake lever that came with a console box I was after. I expect that would bolt up the same as an AE71, and with the different cable location may pull it in a bit closer. I won't see it for a couple of weeks, but will be happy to sell that on if anyone is keen

Just went out and found my old one. Yours for $15 posted.

When I first discovered the SV11 cable solution, I went to the wreckers and pulled front cables from various Toyota's. Most were longer. The SV11 was the only shorter one. Note your AE86DC thread quotes SV21 cable part numbers. There is an SV11 at Centre Rd wreckers in melbourne at the moment if you know anyone who can grab it for you. I can have a hunt around as when I fitted the GT handbrake lever to my AE86, I had to remove the SV11 cable.

The Camry front cable is shorter than the AE86 front cable, from memory it was from an SV11 (edit: but could have been SV21). It can be used to get your handbrake back into adjustment when using a Disc brake rear in an AE86 with factory rear cables. The splitter makes no difference. Of note, The factory front cable is identical in both a T series equipped AE86 and an S series equipped car. The difference is in the cable location on the handbrake lever. As KE70Dave says, what do you mean by they don't fit?

Works for me

There is an XT130 at centre rd this arvo with a complete front end. Also another minus struts/brakes but still with lower control arms. Also a quite tidy KE30 which was largely complete and looked to have good panels

169 grind is a great tractable cam for all sorts of motorsport plus fine for a daily driver. I ran this grind in a TA22 with a 2T with a stock bottom end. Just head work and exhaust. That did sprints, autocrosses and motorkhanas every weekend, and took me to work each day. Was good with a downdraft weber, and sensational with twin 40 DCOE webers. Sounded like a high revving motorbike at a distance. 121 used to be the next option up, and that was a more serious grind, the Wade guys warned me away from this at the time, and I couldn't have been happier with the choice.

No one knows what it is! You need to put a photo up for any meaningful assistance.

was there? I wouldn't know......

Do TV shows count? Archer, series 3 episode 7 Drift Problem The underground Yakuza drift guys in an AE86 and I think a KE55 chase Pam's drift RX2

Ha! And it wasn't the only time either, although the other one wasn't a Corolla

I saw you from afar. I did however run off immediately the meeting finished to play with my newly acquired MS65 centre console.

I did notice I was the only person there in a shirt and tailored slacks. Being a warm evening, I left my dinner jacket with the concierge. He mumbled something unintelligible and gave me a glass of an amber coloured fluid in exchange. When I returned to collect it after the meeting, it was damp, stained and smelt of hops. Perhaps as a way of raising vast sums for the club, we could commission a TCCAV club tie, and have a restricted (entry by tie only ) roped off, cigar after dinner area.

Me too!

So when are you going to knock on the door and ask about it!

I've got 3 te27 and two ke25 guards, all later style levin type. The te27 guards are obviously drilled, whereas the ke25's aren't. None of them have anything inside the guard
