Some nice work so far man

Did you have much trouble with wiring the Glanza dials?

Joz

did the wiring the hard way ,pulled all the wires out of the plug &repinned the plugs withh the help of wiring digrams &tester there is probably a simple way

lyle

how did u do the rear discs? did u just find a rear axle off a v? and how much did it cost u?

wanna do mine but not entirely sure how to do it

got hold of a glsnza axle (non ABS) from my local import wrecker &he supplied everything less axle posted to me to save weight it all bolts up to a std axle . you need the handbrake cables as well cost $400

hi

recently purchased a set forged rods from garbla900 on this forum. it was a pleasure to do business with this member i certainly happy with the way he conducted the sale &the tmely manner in which parcel was delivered (recieved today)

lyle

hi

would be interested in a vented bonnet for N/A also to see lips / bumpers that don`t appear to drag over everything or too outlandish to fit existing bumpers

would like to see photos of various items fitted to N/A EP-91 (like cat of various kit styles )

thanks lyle

hi

i hope i picked the right forum for this

i know some of you will ask why does he need a longer cable . yes i do with my current set-up . when i re-welded the flange on my corolla mani i used a short piece of pipe to allow for welds ,i was a little generous with my allowance .

has anyone found a cable that is b/ween 50mm to 100mm longer that will replace the starlet cable, part no or model ????

thanks lyle

@ quiet-achiever could you please weight the celica calipera and discs and compare them to the starlets, I found a set in the scrappy but my god the disc was a tonne weight

i`m not able to do weight comparsions @this time parts haven`t all arrived @i`m out of town @the moment .

as the disc is larger in dia (260mm)&thicker(22mm) as well than the puny little starlet disc (238x18mm)there will be a weight disadvantage the caliper is also bigger . it is probably not the most weight concious conversion . but if it works it is way cheaper than a performance kit off the shelf &parts can are more readily avail if you need replacements especially in my case

but will post more info later

lyle

Get better front brakes, 93-97 corolla calipers and discs fit so do gt or glanza brakes. These are the best thing you'll every do til her.

to all those looking for a twin pot conversion (using ST-185 CELICAcalipers )i am doing one very slowly &will rewrite a DIY guide . basic it will use a disc without spacer as i found spacer req in current guide is incorrect &actual fit to the STD EP-91 would have your wheels hanging on LONG wheel studs.

so i have foud a replacement that will fit straight on without spacer & use donut to adapt the new disc instead (less machining &drilling)

so when i have fitted &tested the whole kit , (i am in the measured&check to see if it fits stage @the moment }. parts are all ordered i will post my new DIY

KEEP WATCH FOR UPDATE

hi

i am going the N/A Pathway

microtech &retuned N/A std internals / 2in s/less exhaust &extractors std out put =48kwatw final =54.4 kwatw

have corolla mani &7afe T/B ready to fit . haven`t done any mods to head or c/shafts

have looked @c/shafts but not sure the gain will make the mod worthwhile .unless i can buy already set-up

reshimming the shafts seems like a nightmare if you don`t have access to a set of shims & i don`t have a spare head

lyle

have you tried the online toyota parts catalogue toyo diy?

hi

all sorted now i have part no`s &have ordered

thanks lyle

hi

i`m getting ready to fit the 7-afe T/B &noticed a 3rd fitting beside the 2 water pipes on the bottom of the throttle body which is sensor controlled vacuum called idle control. i dont recall seeing this sensor or fitting on the N/A 4efeT/B body????( i haven`t got the car nearby@the moment )

do i just block it off if there is no direct connection or where would it normally connect to on the 7afe engine ??

can anyone confirm if i need it or not

i have a microtech fitted so some of the idle control functions are limited

thanks lyle

hi

does anyone have the part no`s to fit the corolla mani/ 7afe T/B combo to fit to a N/A4efe

thanks lyle

hi

lyle

hi

why do some forum users struggle with the concept of a polite reply to PM`S or forum requests

the forum is international &just because the poster is not one of your mate`s or someone you know is not an acceptable reason to ignore them ,a polite reply is preferred rather than no response at all

how do they know if you are able to help or not especially if you are offering parts for sale

i have posted on occasions without reponse , if you can`t help let them/me know
