October 12, 201214 yr Author comment_631461 I have a spreadsheet Ive been keeping. Let me revise it and Ill let you know. Report
October 12, 201214 yr Author comment_631464 Need ideas for brakes, I might just try to find a vented rotor that fits suits a Wilwood 2 piston caliper with a handbrake. Then make a bracket. Report
October 12, 201214 yr Author comment_631466 On another note, the gears I used were the 3.9 gears from the old corona diff. They were in good condition and I prefer the ratio with the torquey motor, at least on paper. People told me that I would need a crown wheel spacer up to 3mm, but you can adjust the pinion displacement out by just using a slightly slimmer bearing on one side of the carrier and winding it over on the threads. There is plenty of adjustment. Perhaps with a different ratio, the pinion is slimmer and you may need to use a spacer, but they informed me that was not required. The bearings from the old diff were remarkable, just dead smooth races, but the cylinders themselves were showing some signs of wear, one even had pitting in the middle of it, I don't know from what, perhaps lubrication issues as they aged. There's nothing like the old Japanese stuff when it comes to bearings I think, Report
October 12, 201214 yr Author comment_631490 Just calculated the speeds in each gear for this car. 6500 rpm limit 55 in 1st 96 in 2nd 143 in 3rd 182 in 4th 212 in 5th Should tear balls. If you push revs to 6800 58 100 149 191 221 At cruising revs 2800 23 41 62 78 91 I like how they all are about a particular speed limit, should be easy to cruise around in and stay under the limit.

October 13, 201214 yr comment_631590 Sounds like it will haul, they aren't too bad even in a heavy camry so will be awesome in a little corolla! How many hoses have to go to the overflow tank on the celica radiator, was it hard to mount? I have a sr20 one I was going to use but it's a bit too tall and I already have enough clearance issues, haha. Report
October 13, 201214 yr Author comment_631614 Celica rad has side tanks for reduced height, a drain in the bottom corner and a breather in the top corner, also there is one attachment for the overflow. I think I might even pipe the overflow off the top bleed thread with a banjo bolt as its the highest point and it will help air escape. Report
October 14, 201214 yr comment_631647 Yeah, they just fit inbetween the rails from my measurements and you can see why they're like they are when you look at the front of the celicas. I've already got a fan but still need a overflow and some mounts for it, found one wrecking on gumtree so ill just give them a ring tomorrow and see what they want for those bits if they still have them or see if there's any overflows at work, haha.

October 14, 201214 yr Author comment_631649 If its a 99 to 06 Celica I'd like the thermofans from it for mine. Edited October 14, 201214 yr by LittleRedSpirit Report
October 14, 201214 yr comment_631681 I meant I already have a flexalite fan from the states suppose to be one of the best, high CFM. Ill ask how much for the fans too if they still have them for you. Also Ill probably end up going with the glass flares on mine for now instead of those guards I got off you, a bit much work and I need to get the car driving asap, haha. Report
October 15, 201214 yr comment_631792 Wreckers didn't have anything except for panels and the engine itself. Report
October 15, 201214 yr Author comment_631796 Thanks for having a look. Ive been chasing a guy from toymods for one but he keeps never getting it done. Might have to pay 300 ish for a genuine assembly. Most likely fab something if I had to do that I guess. Report
October 16, 201214 yr comment_631956 Yeah well I paid $160ish or something for 1 12" thermo fan so if it costs that much that would be alright still, I might see if I can get a price for you tonight I've got to get some prices for the rubber mounts anyway. Also have you got anymore pictures of how you mounted the bottom bit? Although I think the rad support on ae86 is different to e7's anyway, how many lines come off the radiator to the overflow?

October 16, 201214 yr comment_631958 Or, here are 3 listings for fans in UK, look cheap enough to me, see what postage is worth? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2001-Toyota-Celica-140-BHP-VVTi-radiator-cooling-fans-/110788757731?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item19cb8648e3 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOYOTA-CELICA-1-8-VVTI-RADIATOR-AND-FAN-2001-/190731110584?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2c6875c8b8 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOYOTA-CELICA-2000-2001-2002-2003-MR2-RADIATOR-AC-FAN-/360485256212?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item53ee987c14 Report
