December 12, 200817 yr comment_297358 sounds great, is that the 86kw bluetop motor? Don't you run the risk of cracking the head without the radiator connected? Oh yeah, 100kms in first... nice! Picks up pretty well :) Report

Picks up pretty well :) Yeah. Nah it was only running for a short time. Picks up better now that i did a home wheel alignment, When i put the manual rack in it was running 30mm toe out (15 each side) so i did a wheel alignment and its now running 2mm toe in (1mm each side) so there is less drag through the front end.

It'll pick up better again if you get rid of those tall tyres dipshit... :) Report
March 7, 200917 yr Author comment_325502 I finally got around to installing the factory air box and put my k&n panel in it, I no longer have the 4500rpm onwards pod power sound but it seems to have better bottom end torque but lacks top end. Report
March 8, 200917 yr comment_325553 Oh well, you win some, you loose some. As a daily driver i'm sure its better to have the bottom end torque rather that reving the guts out of it to get power. If you give it stick on takeoff, can it spin the wheels without the handbrake? Have you seen that movie called stuck on you? That asian girl take's off in her car wheelspinning through the whole carpark. :locked: Report

May 3, 201016 yr Author comment_434360 Looking for pics for the donor thread so I thought I would add some to this thread. I wonder how long the 4AC auto box will hold up to the 4AGE power. Auto is still going goo, If it breaks I will put a later AE82 auto in it with electronic O/D. Hopefully the motor and box will be coming out shortly so I can fix the oil leaks, fit the new timing belt kit and give it a quick tidy up, Had a guy ask the other day if it was a 4agze, This thing might of only made 90hp but it is stupidly fast for what it is, Even my vtec loving sister thinks so.

May 4, 201016 yr comment_434742 Thats a quick corolla auto good stuff. makes me want to get one as a daily haha Report

June 24, 201016 yr Author comment_447132 Hopefully the engine and trans are coming out next week to have the oil seals and timing belt replaced so the belt stops slapping and oil stops leaking. Report
July 10, 201016 yr Author comment_450795 I have everything I need apart from spare flex plate bolts to do the tidy up, List: Timing belt kit - Timing belt, Crank seal and tensioner pulley. Cam seals (do not come in kit) Brand new crank timing gear incase the one on it is stuck. Rear crank seal. Exhaust gasket. Also the other other day I pulled out of work and did a high rpm neutral drop which seen me doing a double legger surrounded by smoke and almost into the gutter across the road, I keep forgetting that it doesn't do single spinners :P Edited July 10, 201016 yr by Trev Report
