Hey nice score that will definitely make it roll again.

Nice work Johno :P

 

Keep the pics coming...

Bit of a race to see who can get their ae82 on the road first :yes:

Told you most mechanics is straight forward :yes: see who's become the more experienced one now hehe. Good to see the progress man, planning on doing anything while the engine is out?

HELL YEAH :P

 

Nice work Johno :D

Jono did you get all the looms with the engine?

He's getting it painted - similar to that X-trail sandy colour...I figured I'd hijack it, cos he has internet troubles atm...and its a cool-ish night tonight, so might not get on...hehe

Well.. umm.. very long! lol. Got on the road at 10am, went through Mansfield on the way there to Albury, easy as. On the way back i went the Hume fwy all the way back to melb which just kept going on and on. Returned the van that i borrowed at 11:30pm sunday night. I thought i would be back home at 8pm :(

Oh, and went through 4 full tanks of fuel. Dam mitsashity van, if i pushed it harder than 95km/h it would jump to second and rev its tits off.

 

HELL YEAH :D

 

Nice work Johno ;)

Thanks :) . I still don't even have primer on my car yet, but yeah guess we'll see. I was hoping to have it on the road by 20th Jan but that looks very unpromising now. If its not i don't care, just want it to look nice.

Yes you did tell me that, lol! I am slowly learning. Big help from andrew, he has to show me how to undo the gear shift links, lol.

As for other stuff getting done to the car else, just look at my signature.

Jono did you get all the looms with the engine?

 

Yeah i got most of the wire looms, wires to ecu, wiring to passenger side kick panel fuse box and complete fuse box in engine bay. Other wires and hoses which i will most likely be asking questions about.. he he

I also got oil cooler, drive shafts, gearbox and the ECU.

When i picked up the engine, Mick (he's the guy i bought the engine off) was using a wire disk on a drill. it worked a treat so i bought one too to get out the last bits of rust.

I then also bought a sander head to do my engine bay, works exactly like a automatic car wash just smaller and a few more scratches.

Oh by the way, the 4age engine is originally out of a Aw11 Mr2 and its warm, don't know what has been done to it but it certainly goes good :yes:

I hope your gearbox is from a corolla and not from an MR2 as the MR2 gearbox has the shifter linkage around the wrong way and is a pain in the ass to change (almost impossible).

Yeah, its the corolla gearbox. I probably will get rid of it anyway and put my 4ac gearbox on it. The gearbox thats on the 4age is not crash hot, crunches 2nd and sometimes 3rd. The 4ac one had just been serviced and runs fine. I think the 4ac gearbox has a lower ratio so quicker acceleration aswell :yes:

All you have to do to run twincam front hubs is remove the cv joints at the stub axle and bolt the twincam ones onto the 4ac gearbox.

Is that what you did with your 4age conversion with your auto 4ac gearbox?

No but i am going to, I am going to rebuild all the calipers and then put them on.
