  1. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/G4-Coilover-Suspensi...id=p3286.c0.m14 beats me lol
  2. i have the same problem i just brought a set and there too big aswell i do have a couple of plans up my sleeve if the problem can't be solved, one of which will mean machining them to size, the other is try a set of later spec corolla gti calipers as they 'might' fit and give the extra clearance needed.
  3. woop woop on my birthday result, ill be there hopefully in my car but not 2 sure what stand im going to be on sorry guys, mite pop it on on sat or sun if theres room tho lol
  4. right well I've... well me and my my mates have been busy over the last few weeks i now have a garage and an engine crane and everything and well i now have a 4a-ge 16v in my car! its not finished by a long shot but its deffinatly a massive step in the right direction so anyway here are a few pics with my nice and shiney manifold he he my nice solid cam end engine mount the clearance under the cradle bar and my rear mount and the gearbox mounting you can see my front engine mount (without a mount in it) and my honda ramming bar lol that obviously is going to be cut rolled up and i will more than likely have a nice alloy sump guard to cover it up. as far as gettin it running, we have all my clocks engine, battery, oil lights etc working and all the relays bar the fuel pump relay seem to be working but we think we know whats wrong with it, i just need to give it a service, get my flywheel back and my clutch fitted and then it will be tested, and then a nice clean painted engine will follow anyway more update to follow soon any feedback more than welcome
  5. like stated any info/links would be greatly appriciated, 1998 sr manual been looking on loads of sites and the only one i cant get to work that more than likely has it is tgtt.com
  6. cheers for the feedback people. the car is now in the freshly finished garage and the whole interior is out, the engine is disconnected and im now waiting.. again... for and engine crain, so i can get the 4efe out and start trial fitting the new engine, i will get some desent pics soon and i should hopefully be taking pics along the way so people can get an idea of whats involved in a swap like this. Big T SR cheers i no i luv black starlets too and the badge at the front was on it when i brought the car its an oval with TRD in it but i never liked it so i randomly had a toyota badge from a supra (borrowed from a scrapyard) in my bedroom so i put that on there instead, yeah the number plates i guess for MOT purposes they had to put legal ones on there and they just left the other ones underneath, and clearly mine are on just for show purposes anyway galliano thanks i look forward to finishing it lol and as for the stone chip i was on a runway with a mate and his car happened to be a little bit quicker... o well it looks good

    brake upgrade

    right basically im putting a 4age in my 98 SR and the standard uk spec brakes were terrible before hand and with the extra weight of the new engine i was looking for something a bit more substantial so... after browsing the site doing numerous searches the only real thing i can find is about the levin twinpot upgrade, which has a good fitting guide and pics, which as tempting as it seems is prooving to be kinda akward because finding a set of calipers is near on impossible the other thing that got a mention was the celica twinpot swap but i cudnt find a fitting guide or any info on wether they actually fit or not!?! so basically is ther any info on the celica brakes or does anyone no of another set up that might work, baring in mind of the added engine weight and the possibility of some hard use ie trackdays etc. oh and if it requires any fabrication or machining thats fine i can sort that out any info and links will be greatly appriciated cheers morgey

  14. hi cheers for the feedback guys and just another quick update i had a run around my garden today and got a couple of pics (sorry about pic quality phone doesn't like twilight), to show where i stand more than anything. well my car looks like this atm I've had to keep it rolling as will need to move it into the still to be built garage, which, looks like this. and that nice looking corolla gti now looks, well to say the least a little bit sorry for itself now, and a seek peek of my new engine here ya go mate, not bad for 160kmiles imo, theyve got adj bucket, lumber suport and a raising base you can get really quite comfy and depending on how u set them it can realy change how you drive ;)
  15. Right I've been on here nearly a year and never realy had much input or intro so here it goes p.s sorry for the long post I recon a quick car historys in order bcoz its quite comical imo 1st a 1.0l metro clubman, with a in car switch for the fan because the thermo switch didnt work this was a pure bred feild car,stripped out, racing "fastcar n maxpower" decals decked supsupension (slight leak in hydros lol) i got it for free i had a collision with a 10" thick metal post and needed a new radiator which the joy rider payed for :@ which is why the lack of bumber and then i got it stuck in between reverse n netreul doin donuts so i replaced the g/b which a mate gave me n sold it for £50 lol bargin oh and its still the only car ever to be toed to my household and to make a profit and drive away the rest are trailored away!! Then when i past my test on 13th dec 2005 my mum gave me THIS... A 1.0L automatic micra it was a showroom car which my nan brought from a dealership in 93 unregistered its that basic it didnt even have antiroll bars lol!!! still it had no probs round the bends it shew up anything that came near it... just about. this took 13 months of abuse until i managed to get this stuck in reverse aswell, spining about on the ice in jan 2007 and just to mock me this car still runs after not being started for months on end, and now my dad semi fixed the auto box in it so i now goes in gear but the hydralic pumps packed up so it wont change gear ha ha so i'd been wanting a black starlet for a long time since early 2006 infact, and after seeing my 1st black SR near bristol (i live in norfolk i was doing my D of E) with 25k on the clock in june that year, and after going to auzziland, and seeing a few A/U spec black starlets it made me want one even more, so finally in march 2007 a week from returning from oz. after almost a year of lookin for a reasonable black Sr which my realy quite annoying parents would go and have a look at to give me the thumps up basically, i got fed up and brought the only one i could find. which unfortunaty for me ment it was localish and owned buy a Chav with no clue what so ever... This is what i had brought thats it in its former glory with *cough*rage can and stickers*cough* included it had a flared can hanging off the back and sticker on each door, wind deflectors a clifford remote start alarm/immo (ace for cold morns) tinted windows, momo pedals and gearknob plus some more. so me and my m8s promtly hacked off the flared exaust tip leave a lame excuse if a jap can then we set about leveling it off which never rele worked due to a lack of a pipe bender! and we also discarded the stickers either way we noticed i had double number plates so we removed one to find a rather nice TTE one underneith and the same with the rear (not genuine) looks good tho so me not happy with the mods the car had done to it, silver interior, tiny Steeingwheel, pipercross airfilter fse rrfpr and eco tec valve, i decided to put it back to standard so went to a scrappy and got steering wheel + airbag, black centre console, tacho surround, brake vaccum pipe fpr and fuel return and airbox for £40 i left it like this for a long time bcoz i was lazy here are a few pics, and some the car is filthy in sorry ;) (its got a toyota badge on the bonet now) See told ya and now i doesn't lol anyway after a couple of weeks i noticed oil where I've bin parking so go and investigate and notice the oil filter leaking, remove it to see that rust was embedded in the O-ring so changed the oil n filter and it was away again! at the end of the spring i realised how lame standard seats were so i js happened to have a corolla gti with some a standard but adjustabe bucket seats. so set about fitting them this turned out to be quite awkward due to mounts being further apart different angles positions etc etc so we took a grinder and welder to them to make them fit and 8hours l8a woohoo jobs a good'un only prob they dont go far enuf back for tall people, luckly for me im a short arse then ;) also i desided i would strip out the beast to give it a lil edge but as usual with me u do one thing to help and... | | \/ come a week be4 JAE my car starts smoking/burning oil, this was after i test re-fitted the FSE for a day or 2 and it stunk of petrol so off that came, but the damaged had been done, i drove it around all summer and just kept on top of it until i got fed up, so it appeared to be valve stem seals (the usual symtoms) so did the work on the head and nope still smokes so i just left it bcoz of plans, eitherway i treated it to some new JDM rear lights off a 96 glanza and linked the top n botom lites so i was happy, so kept driving it and with my expertise i managed to not put the head back to gether properly (rushing it as usual) and it droped a valve oops. typical realy you make an improvement and an opposite happens. owell not lucky with cars am i, i will learn one day so now as I've bin planning since i brought the car project 4A-GE finally gets started and as a donor car, this my bro's project that never took off corolla gti-16 it needs all the rear panels replacing, so neway he got fed up of not doing it so he brought another one with an MOT so a nice free 60k 4a-ge and excessories ready to go into my car!! so now whilst doing the engine swap i will be replacing all or most of the bushes, fitting some coilovers, and sourcing glanza v f/r breaks, anitlift kit, rear arb + geting 2 new toyo T1-R's for the front! and a couple of pics for a thankyou for reading all that taken down a closed military road if anyone wants to know what white speedlines look like?!? and heres an extreme case of do something good to your car and an opposite happens you clean it and then you crash it! and this is why i love black cars and with a bit of tinkering on my phone and my incredibly arty stone chip thanks will update with info of engine swap when i get it off of the ground. ;)
