Shifter Comparison Gavin

That's just brilliant! Gavin

Funny but true! An anagram of "osama bin laden" is "Lob Da Man In Sea". lol Gavin

Bought a Corolla manifold, for a good price. It was in good condition, as described. It was sent out on Monday and a got it today, next day! Well packaged too. Would recommend! Thank you! Gavin

From Toyota expensive, probably. Used who knows? Knowing there the same as Glanza ones should make them easy to find tho. Gavin

Ive had a look and I think the part numbers are RH: 81210-13040 and LH: 81220-13040 and according to my source they are the same as the Glanza v and s ones. Edit: Instead the Glanza can also use RH: 81220-10070 and LH: 81210-10140, they should fit the remix bumper too. Gavin

It's the remix bumper alright but what grille is that? I don't normally like the remix bumper but that grille makes it. Gavin

Bless you all, your comments are helping me to get my ass into gear to get this totally finished. Cheers. Gavin

Oh yeah I forgot to say that, it did come with it! I didn't see the point in a photo of that. lol Gavin

I didn't have time to test it again but here are the photos I said i'd post. Gavin

No it's not been fitted to be honest. I did test it, it did what it should. Honestly I think it's genuine. Came with Bosch sensor, bezel, faces, looms, the lot. All look high quality. If I remember, I'll test it again and take some detailed photos tomorrow and post them here. Gavin

This is the guy I got mine off about 7 months ago. Fast delivery and it looks quality so i'd say not fake. My ebay feedback is on 20-Jul-2010. Very impressed here too. Gavin

Cheers everyone. I'll add a spec list later or tomorrow. Info on the short shifter can be found here. Click Post #6 Gavin

Cheers Sparky! Thinking about it she aint changed that much apart from replacing the drivers side sill and quarter panel. Oh, I changed the Corolla manifold back to the Gi one (basically an FTE one) I didn't like the Corolla one. I also made a custom short shifter from a standard shifter and fitted that. It's what's comming in time for the summer (might be the end of summer. lol) that gets me excited. lol The short shifter What's waiting to be fitted... Modded Carina E 50mm throttle body New Fuel system components 4 of 6

For those that asked shes still going strong. A lot has changed and alot will be changing soon. Gavin

I like this one lol Would never make one that can do that tho. Gavin

I don't know what pump you mean so just to confirm, I said Water Pump NOT Power Steering Pump. If you have water pump and alternator on seperate belts thats strange. Gavin

We all fail sometimes!!! Gavin

Not a problem, I thought it might help someone. Gavin

The water pump and alternator are on the same belt. Gavin

Modding A 50mm Carina E Throttle Body To Fit A 4E-FE. There are a couple of 50mm throttle bodies that will fit or can be made to fit to the 4E-FE. Including 4A-FE and 7A-FE throttle bodies and I guess FTE throttle bodies. I choose this one over the others not only because it has about the same sensor layout (like the other 50mm ones above) but also because its made by a german company called Pierburg for Toyota and as such is of visibly beter quality, has an 8mm diameter butterfly shaft (All Toyota throttle bodies I have personally seen have had 10mm diameter shafts), and has oilite (self-l

From what I remember there about £160 new from Toyota so scrap yard/breaker/used is probably your best bet although you obviously can't be certen of it's condition or how long it might last. Gavin

Yeah some of them. The larger pulley (the one at the back that drives the alt pulley) is separated/isolated from it's mounting flange by a rubber bush, It's a Harmonic Balancer Pulley. My guess is that the rubber is starting to come away from the mounting flange or the pulley. The smaller pulley is mounted directly to the other ones flange by 4 bolts on most of them. Some don't have Harmonic Balancers and the whole pulley is solid. I have seen this pulley wobble so much and for so long that it cut/ground it's self clean through the bottom cam belt cover. Don't let it get that bad, in theory

Did you remove the drain plug/bolt thats in the block as well as the one in the bottom of the rad? If you don't remove the one out of the block a lot of old coolant tends to stay traped in the block. I believe capacity is just under 5L something like 4.5L I think. Gavin

I do not know for sure but I believe the idle on N/A's is controlled by the plate circled in red in the photo below. It seems to interact with the idle control valves shaft via a spring and a kind of insert. The insert seems to control the rotational stop points of the shaft and therefore the maximum valve opening. If you loosen the screws the plate will rotate a small amount, it is sealed with silicone so you would need to take it to bits, clean and apply new silicone, put in back togeather loosely and while the silicone is wet adjust the plate with engine running and tighten up the screws wh
