Hmm, what will Irokin come up with now his secret code has been cracked!

Yes, dimming is normal. It does that so the clock doesn't dazzle you when it is dark.

If you mean the inner guard, no, it isn't available. You need to make a replacement, or cut one out of another car. Having said that, it is a common rot point.

Here is something to get you started http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/47108-2tgeu-into-ke20/page__st__15

I used to navigate in my mates Datto 1600, and that had one of those large generic amber clearance lights connected up to the pressure switch. Unfortunately one NIGHT the light went on whilst barreling through a stage. That was sufficient to temporarily blind him and we ended up off the road in a ditch. So don't make it too bright......

This is the toymods thread for those interested. http://www.toymods.org.au/forums/tech-conversions/95-guide-how-wire-up-thermofans.html There is also a discussion of tridon senders in this thread from the FAQ http://www.toymods.org.au/forums/faq/5125-tridon-thermo-fan-switch-catalogue.html In true Toymods fashion, it soon became a discourse on how to initiate nuclear fission with a temp sender, but if you keep to the main focus, it will tell you what you need to know.

No, simply using a temp controlled switch to activate the fans. I am guessing that ATOYOTA wants a switching system to activate his fan with a minimum of fuss, rather than a convoluted thermostat system. I have put an AE82 4AC top thermostat housing on my AE86 4AGE RWD bottom thermostat housing. This means you can use a factory AE82 electric switch to easily activate the fans via a two relay setup The Witzl posted. I think the factory switch is 82 degrees (but not certain), but as you say, there are various other fairly expensive options in the tridon catalogue. The method above is vary reliable, looks factory, and if you really want to fiddle with temp actuation, you can do so by changing to a different switch

Another option is to use a fan control temp switch from a later Toyota i.e an AE82, and drive your fans via a relay setup. There is a good write up on toymods with diagrams. Works very well

They are surprisingly light. A few blokes would have no trouble lifting it onto a trailer.

Agreed, if not using it, just stick a bung on the pipe to keep dust out. But far better to tune the advance curve to the engine specs. If you spend all that money on carbs, head etc, a $100 - 150 or so on a dizzy overhaul and recurve is money well spent.

A very much better idea is to get your distributor recurved to suit your specific modifications. They will remove the vacuum advance all together. In Melbourne you would go to Performance Ignition in Mitcham. http://www.performanceignition.com.au/ Presumably there is a Brisbane specialist however Performance Ignition do stuff by mail also. Give them a call.

Go to this site http://www.aeu86.org/index/technical-ae86-manuals/cat/9/topic=5158 The factory wiring manuals for an AE86 are there, among others. You can print out the page for the clock which will be essentially identical for your situation as it also has a digital clock

This guy is also very good http://www.simonbbc.com/powerspark-range he has lots of other stuff too

Make sure it is complete. Parts are getting much harder to find, especially guards and bonnets. I nice one sold for $2600 on ebay in the last day or so.

The link above takes you to Rodger. The man for solexes

And that would be about right

Additionally, today there is also a new Green KE55 in very good condition. No engine or gearbox.

This is an article from Racing Car News in 1969. Road test of the AMI KE10 Improved production car AMI corolla test.pdf I have put this in the KE10 Group Nc thread also, but there has been a bit of crossover in this thread, plus it is still pretty relevant. Also found a report in another racing car news that notes that AMI lost their appeal to the Aust Motor Sport Appeals Court over the 67 Bathurst result on the grounds, "that work done on the inlet manifolding of these cars was not a normal production process". That is a direct quote from the Appeals Court. The magazine goes on to say that it was a decision which met with widespread approval from enthusiasts who feared for the future of this great event...... Little did they know how things would evolve over time. Additionally, one of the guys at CAMS sent my enquiry on to one of the AMI factory drivers of the time. He was overseas and missed the 67 Gallaher. He notes that, "I have no official documentation but can remember quite clearly the stories when I came back to Australia. The Corollas scored a resounding victory over the enemy (the Datsun Racing Team), only to be disqualified in post-race scrutineering. It seems the wrong jets were fitted to the carburettors and outside the legal tolerances, and the sizes were different on all team cars. I understand the scrutineers then measured the jets on a road car and found them to be also different. The conclusion drawn by the management of Australian Motor Industries was the Japanese used a piece of bamboo to measure the jets! During a social function at Port Melbourne in 1968 the Australians had laughed off the disappointment and were joking about what happened, whereas the little Japanese engineer who was responsible for the cars' preparation was still suffering serious guilt. The cultural difference was very noticable! 1968 was another year, and the AMI Racing Team Corollas made up for the errors of the previous year in fine style."

I would head out to pickapart and see what you can find on some of the heads there?

As above, a K-B had a more aggressive cam, 10:1 compression and twin carbs to provide more fuel charge. No reason why you couldn't shave a head and put a bigger cam in anything you desire And before anyone jumps up and down. that refers to K-B's and 3K-B's I have a great article from a late 60's Racing Car News with a review of an improved production KE10 Toyota were piloting around at that time. I'll try and put it up tomorrow. Has some good specific engines mod info

I am almost certain they are a port for air injection of some sort related to emissions. You just need to block them off. As you said, you need to get three more of the flush plugs.

Popped out to Centre Rd today for the first time in ages. Big let down. There was a KE55, but then the next oldest were a couple of 4AC AE82's. There was an AE9x with a smallport in it. Missing dizzy, throttle body and injectors, otherwise looked largely complete. :gurgler: :POSTPICS!: :groupwave: :wootjump: :bounce: Sorry, daughter has gone crazy with emoticons.........
