The build thread for my 4AGZE powered AE95 Toyota Corolla 4WD wagon. My AE95 Social Media Landing Page {Intro + Purchase} I purchased my 1989 Toyota Corolla AE95 SR5 AWD Wagon in June 2006. I found it on eBay (where else :P) and paid a tidy sum of $500 for it. Saved from the scrap yard. It had a non-existent clutch, a couple of smallish dents, a/c gasless, no rego and the red paint was completely faded. Apart from those few minor things it was fairly straight all round. At that time I had already shopped around trading post etc. and I found the average price for a decent AE95 was $3000 so really I was happy with what I got. The main reasons for indulging in this form of conversion/artform was; 1. the fact it was not very common, 2. being able to take it soft roading on the beach on the weekends and 3. choosing an ugly car and doing it up 😛 {Repairs + Blue slip} First up on the fix list was the clutch. Begun was the search for a temporary clutch. Pricing a new clutch kit proved not to be an option as it would only be used for like 250kms. So I placed a WTB thread on a few forums. Toymods came through and I picked up a 4agze clutch and pressure plate from an ae92 with plenty of meat. Thanks Clint! (peter costello on the forums). Now the task to replace the clutch…. I soon realised why I got the wagon cheap. The previous owner must have realised once the clutch gave up the cost to replace it wasn’t worth it. What a bitch it is to remove the gearbox. I found out later that the Toyota workshop manual recommends removing entire motor to change clutch and gives a removal and replacement time of 12 hours. Whoa…. Silly me removed the gearbox with the motor still in the car 😛 After the clutch fitted and working all sweet I went over the car and fixed/serviced all the safety things. I then took it in for blue slip… the fellas went over it did a brake test and all the necessary checks. They ended up informing me I had movement in the steering rack -> worn out rack end. They were nice enough to let me fix it then bring it back to sign it off. Finally I had it registered and I could sink deeper into my project.

See the first pic on the official site: http://www.worldtime...ownshine-rules/ Email from the organisers: This years World Time Attack, MotorGraphics Show n Shine will be held on Saturday the 19th of October 2013. Entry will be via gate 7 at the rear of the circuit (opposite the entry to WSID) from 6.30am-9.30am sharp. General entry tickets are available for pre purchase from moshtix , or on the day from ticket booths located around the circuit, including gate 7. Once you have purchased your general admission ticket for $50.00 just bring the ticket to the registration building located approximately 30 meters to the left of gate 7 ( small white building) and pay just $10.00 for your show n shine entry ticket. That's right just $10.00 to be in the thick of all the action. This ticket allows you access through security and onto the skid pan. PLEASE NOTE : NO general admission tickets are available for purchase from the show n shine staff in the registration building. The show n shine ticket MUST be presented with your general admission ticket to the gate at the time of entry to WTAC. Due to ever increasing entry numbers we will NOT be having entry forms this year, it will be, however, first in best dressed for positions, so if you plan to park as a group or as a club then it is best to arrive together as we cannot guarantee positions to those who arrive late.
