  1. My 'nearly 9' year old was just looking at Tommy's engine and said, "what are those things, they look like something out of a Dr Who show" Aircleaners! :bounce: The emoticons were her idea........ Future rollaclub girl!
  2. Don't know what you guys are complaining about. It's glorious here in Prague
  3. There's a crowd on eBay who claim to have everything. Curiously they advertise a lot of rear screens, but say they do all other glass. Ask them and let us know what the outcome is.
  4. I think it has something to do with whether there has been a reply or not. No replys then no views. Reply, and suddenly the views come up.
  5. Well realistically in theory there shouldn't be any movement there, so rather than increasing harshness of the ride, I suspect it is more to do with noise/vibration suppression. I have some urethane ones made in Japan specific for a TE27 I plan to use on mine. Not sure about pin diameter/spring width etc but have assumed they will be close.
  6. Well it has taken a while, but have now heard back from the ARDC (we don't have that information) and also CAM's (CAMS does not have a archive of material of the age you require). Essentially it seems to get down to whatever may be stored away in the memory of those involved at the time.
  7. In a Australian delivered KE25 it would have been under the dash, although I don't have an actual photo of it. The radio was always above the heater controls. You have to bear in mind that a radio factory fitted in a early 70's car was still fairly unusual, unless it was Japanese. so an 8 track was very exotic then. Overseas, it depended on what specification. This I have photo's for In a TE27 levin/trueno with the triple gauges above the heater controls, the radio was located in the long centre console over the transmission tunnel which meant the 8 track had to go under the dash and off centre. However if your corolla had air conditioning, it would have to go under dash on the drivers side. This long console was available in other specifications unlike here. So if fitted to a non levin, the radio was up where we know it, and the 8 track went into the long console. I have a long console with the radio, plus a factory 8 track. You can still get lots of reasonably modern 8 track cartridges on US ebay. I have some choice Pink Floyd & Jethro Tull among others to drown out the solex's when mine eventually gets going
  8. A mate of mine had one of these back in the early 90's. Wherever he parked it, people would leave rubbish in the back.
  9. Factory, it is connected to the idle up VSV which I doubt you are worried about. You can safely cap it off.
  10. The real problem being that you need the headlight garnishes to match the grille. Other than Japan, I think this style was available in Sth East Asia.
  11. I haven't driven a car with drum brakes for about 25 years...... But strangely enough I can't wait to redo the rear drums on the KE15. There's something very soothing about assembling drums. My 2 cents, always a good idea to take some photos before you start disassembling because you will certainly get something back to front and good to be able to see what it looked like eforehand.
  12. So email him and ask. There's a reason why people don't splash their phone details all over the internet
  13. He is in the ACT. If you go to my post above, click on the link and his contact details are within his web page.
  14. Well Hi Rolla needs to get under the car and have a look around the floor
  15. It's pretty clearly a chassis rail heat shield probably for the front muffler.
  16. Don't forget, if you are modifying your existing engine mounts, rather than using a TE2x crossmember, the final engine placement is affected relative to the swaybar. I did ask a guy down here I got some TA22 struts from, but he didn't have a swaybar to compare. If someone in Melbourne wants to lend me one, I'll compare them side by side. - TA22 to TE27.
  17. Well the pinks flow a bit more and supposedly have a more effective spray pattern rather than the single pintle (greys). My very basic understanding is that the pinks better direct fuel mixture at the valve stem rather than all over the intake walls as well as with single pintle injectors. Whatever, most important I would say, is that the injectors are cleaned properly. They are both low resistance so you can slip either in. If you don't have the correct injector plugs, just have a look at late 80's injected Toyota's at pickapart. Doing the same years ago, something common, possibly SV21 Camry's used the same shaped plug. And I have seen that KE20, and it sounded awesome!
  18. Aww, oh well. Yes they do look fantastic. These are the Enkei's. I wouldn't mind betting they have copied or perhaps made by Enkei for Mazda.
  19. Those Enkei's the same as I have for the 27! I made the mistake of getting the AE86 wheels powdercoated. The blasting cleaning job was crap, and the colour completely wrong.
  20. The pink are the later 4AGE bigport injectors. Off he top of my head, they are rated at 200cc whereas the standard grubby grey's you have are 182cc
  21. Seriously - you actually watched that film?
  22. 3K is 16 - 20 thou (0.4 - 0.5mm) Dwell 50 - 54 degrees Ign timing: 3K 8 degrees, 3K-C 5 degrees 3K-B 10 degrees 3K 600rpm, 3K-B 650rpm, 3K-C 750rpm 3K automatic 700rpm I don't have anything for one of those modern 4K's.........
