No no I'm joking lol. I'm ballymena but I know a few chaps down there with "mixed reviews" lol. I do all my own work bar fabrication etc. Maintenance wise is no problem.

maybe you can get a local exhaust shop to customize the piping to fit a similar size universal box in the space

Yea, was thinking along those lines if toyota can't get them. Cheers. 

Alright chaps, been looking for an oem rear silencer for my 4wd remix. Can't find any similar online at all and I'm feeling like it's going to be a dealership only part.  The standard box on it sits parallel with the rear axle nearly the width of the car.  Does anyone know even if a standard ep91 etc box would fit it? 

Many thanks

Never once mentioned a 4wd box, though i have read that theres options for the manual boxes to be modified to accept the transfere box.

bitchfest lol, anyhow this was on gumtree for yonks, first price was just under 4K  

can't wait to see ya about and get a good nose round it Gareth 

what else was in the collection?? 

Alot of strange toyotas and lexus,  the owner was an undertaker and travelled to japan alot, for what reason i dont know, he just liked buying them and shipping them home.  He was getting a new fleet of vehicles so needed his indoor premises cleared out.  If people must know, i paid 1300 quid for it, it was advertised at 1700 but was haggled down with regards to the costs of mot and registering it.  Not a price i would consider over the odds at all for it.

A used imported vehicle, yes it does. Do I have to send you a link to hmrc’s info on it?

5 door, auto. Not exactly the most sought after variation. Yeah it looks good, but as you said, value is only determined by what the market is willing to pay. The lack of it being registered didn't put people off, its a simple process.

Hey there, Gareth here from Northern Ireland , been away from the starlets for quite a while, had an sr about 10 years ago then a gt turbo after.  I’ve now acquired a rare wee ep91 4wd auto remix and the first registered owner of it in the uk.  It was imported from Japan  in 2012 and kept in a private collection. With only 30k on it and never seen uk roads, the wee thing is mint.  I’m currently using it as a daily but trying to gather information on the 4wd set up and swapping it to manual/ turbo etc.  It seems only 500 of these were made and sold in Japan so I’d assume there pretty rare to see and in this condition.  Any knowledge greatly appreciated.  It also comes as standard with the Corolla manifold which seems odd to me.  Anyways, I’ve plans for it in the future. 

Sorry chaps, had to sit this one out! Looked a good day though.

bridge that plugs wires together. only remember there being 2 though or i may have got a spare piece of wire to join two of them to see what happens the fan. will look 2mora.

pumps dont always have to leak, the internal propeller fins corrode and wear away, the toyota coolant is strong stuff. only way to check is to take it off and have a look at the fins. Im not saying thats exactly what it is, just something to think about. If the stat was cut out and the pump blades are worn it probably would work better as the water isnt being pressurized enough to open the stat.

just some input. Possibly water pump? Loosing any coolant?

will be in work 2mora and get onto the toyota portal to see what i can find.
