Satyr

Yea sorry i meant the bar - good guess :) Yea the challenge is finding one. I'm having enough trouble looking for skirts.

Yea, everyone i've talked to really couldn't justify the cost of the Redline. If your getting it done for you, shop around, i found HUGE variation in price for getting this done. $60 - $350. Guess which one i chose :)

Very curious about the cost of that (item + import/delivery). Been wanting one for ages myself.

Hehe, i have the opposite problem. The crunch feels more like it's in the gear selector i.e. just under the leather boot. It will generally only crunch shifting UP to 3rd at around 6krpm or 80km/h. It only happens when i shift quickly though. Running a 7afe AE102R. Thinking it might be slack selector cables.

Sweet, as always thanks man! Hopefully i can save myself around $300 (that was my quote) by doing this.

Cool, i figured it was quite straight forward. Torque wrench required?

Hi Guys, I took my 7a-fe engined 102R in for an oil change/service and they saw what i thought had happened - there was a small leak from the rocker cover. I am guessing the charge to fix it would be quite a bit and also think this is a pretty straight forward job. Has anyone got any links to a teardown/replacement of rocker gasket etc? I'd need to go buy a torque wrench i'm guessing...since i don't have one i might just pay the guys to do it. (ps. Mods....any chance of a noob/wanna be mech section? :) )

I can deal with stupid. I'd rather be stupid than have the wrong item. hehehe I'm pretty sure theres only one way to put them on. The flaire'd piece goes closest to the windscreen cos thats threaded for the spline. Not as though my model is rare or anything....just a hatch version of yours. Only reason i'm fussed is cos a guy at work gave me a $400 momo wheel and i want to actually put it to use rather than just take it for nothing. I'll try and take a photo of my fail - hopefully i do turn out to be stupid.

Yea thats exactly what i thought. I just thought maybe not all other manufacturers adhered to that. Just a bit strange that a SAAS boss kit for 96 corolla doesn't fit on my standard spline....waste of $70.

^ Cos it says AE model....and the one I have (BK192L) doesnt fit for some reason. Only goes about half-way down the frickin spline. So even if i do the nut up it will only go down half the thread. I am presuming that ain't right. I've spent so long on the damn thing I'm pretty convinced that model doesnt fit my car.

No one? :/

I'm Camille - Live/drive in Campbelltown area (SW Sydney). White AE102R black tint, dumpy exhaust. Nothing special, its my first car and my daily. I have a Sportivo sticker on the back :lolcry: EDIT: I'm a guy - just thought i'd clarify that also after reading Courtney's post hehehe.

I bought a SAAS boss kit ages ago from SCA and had to order it in. I told them my car was a 96 model so i got part#BK192L. Trying to install it and I'm not real happy with how far down the spline it sits - even with a fair amount of persuasion it is only half-way down the spline. So i did some research and according to a nice PDF there is a different part. 13-BK138L CSX - SECA - AE SERIES 1985 - 1988 13-BK192L COROLLA 1993 - ON So...mine's a AE102R CSX 96 model...which is correct?

It looks as though i have to remove the whole splashguard to get to it.....Damn! Fun times :2thumbs: Oh, i found one of Hiro's posts on Toyomods - think i'll just follow that for now.

Removing the snorkel from my AE102R...was a bit tricky but i have it off now. Now i noticed that through that hole where most people put their pod is a black box. What is it? It's just inside the front wheel guard.
