trav_555 Posted April 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Yea i looked at mine in the black car and it shouldn't be too hard :y: Probably even easier than modifying an ae71 auto too :P All still very possible too though :y: Yea now all you need is to find a manual yoke :P Now I'm off to get some wiring sorted, you have no idea how tempting it is to hook up a the jdm ecu and bolt in the 4age stock :P i reckon i could get it in by the end of the week on stock ecu :P Would be skids galore around the industrial estate considering i have like 10 stock rims with fresh tyres on them hahaha + 6 of those performance globes and 4 stock r31 rims with no tyres though :P Tempting tempting, parents are away next week, tempting tempting :hammer: Travis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW42 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 but the only problem is gettin rid of the skid marks :hammer: meh i have decided i am going to use the celica motor tailshaft and what not to get the rolla happening so i have got a manual yoke already there :y: well i think you should do it 1st time properly so nothing breaks lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trav_555 Posted April 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Yea I'm not gonna put it all in, cause i remebered id have to buy some fuel :hammer: :y: :y: Pulled out the auto pedal box just then, got manual one in, just need to drill the 3 holes, then thats done, waiting on clutch master cylinder and all that hydraulic clutch stuff to come back from being rebuilt. I'm not looking forward to paying Microtech $350 for a new basemap, has anyone had experiance with the lt10s? is there a way around it? Then the fact to get a wideband i need to pay another 600.... Seems to be a very expensive ECU. AND still havent gotten a damn reply to my email i sent them! They don't seem reliable at all, what I'm meant to send them my ecu with a bit of writing connected to it, then they do stuff to it and send it back when they can't even reply to my damn email? I don't think so... Cheers Travis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukeAE71 Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 also i have been looking at the auto and manual pedal boxes, and seriously if you know how to weld you could EASY make te auto pedal box a manual pedal box :hammer:, so if anyone wants to do this before i do pm me and i will get you any measurements you want I have also given this some thought. Given the price of AE71 pedal boxes these days it is worth thinking about. Best bet would be to take the pair of them (auto and manual) to a metal fabricator or welder and see if they can make something up. If it can be done for say less than $100 you are laughing. You could sell them for $250 each and reap the rewards. Also, the amount of auto pedal boxes there would be around to make it from would be plentiful. Most of them probably see the bin. The only issues you would have would be finding a manual brake pedal, they are smaller remember and also finding a suitable clutch pedal. Again these could probably be made up by someone with the appropriate skills. If these had to be made up though the cost would probably outweigh just buying a factory one from someone.

trav_555 Posted April 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Yes that's what i think too I'M doing my apprenticeship in metal fabrication with my father, i'm currently second year, so no problem there i wonder what other models have similar pedals? ke model corolla pedals? and with the manual vs auto brake pedal, you could probably make it so that the clutch pedal sits over that little bit further to allow for room for the larger auto pedal i will have another look at it though and cross reference some differences, are manual ae71 that expensive? gee, you could make a trade + cash, IE person gives you auto pedal box and cash and you give them modified box back Might be a good start to a business, and end up a sponsor on these forums, IE ae86dc and here Cheers Travis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be better off just manufacturing them and selling them for a price rather than on an exchange type arrangement. You would be able to find tons of auto pedal boxes at Self Serve Dismantlers as noone wants them. If you go to one of those places have a look at the manual AE71s, there is never a pedal box in there but all the autos are untouched. Actually after thinking about it you could probably use the pedals (brake and clutch) from a KE70 pedal box. They are a dime a dozen as everyone gets rid of them for a AE71 setup. I have definitely given this some thought and given how many people want these damn pedal boxes there is an opportunity there in the market.
