Or maybe a TE7x whatever you got them as.

Those t motors respond well to modification and also they're a T-series gearbox if you want to swap bellhousings and stick an A-motor in.

I wouldn't know, I've never driven an AW11, they almost don't exist where I live.

Does anybody have any suggestions regarding input enhancement? The car has got enough power for me, it's really fun to drive, but the steering wheel is quite too large and thin for my big hands, and the shifter throw is too long.

I'm looking for a better, but still inconspicuous and period correct steering wheel, maybe something like a junkyard MR2 steering wheel I could get refitted with new leather, but I'm not sure about compatibility, and I can't find much info on this. I'd like to avoid the obvious Momo leather on metal thingy that screams I'M A RACECAR!

I'm also looking for a short throw shifter kit, but I can't find that much information either, especially about quality and how it feels to use it.

Is the SC400 quick / fun to drive? Considering one for a first car because I like the styling

>>17032749
For the wheel, if its legal to remove the airbag, you could get a boss kit and there are a few steering wheels that dont look like complete RACEKAR.
http://www.ae101ownersclub.com/t2305-diy-jdm-momo-steering-wheel-install

For the short shifter you could get your grinder out, cut 2" out of the shifter above the pivot, and then weld it back together, use the 2" bit you cut of the top to lengthen the stick below the pivot, then raise the base to clear it. Im no expert, maybe someone can correct me here. Or shell out for a short shift kit.

Thanks for the answer.

No airbag there, and about the shifter, I don't like damaging stock parts, I like keeping them in case I want/have to revert the car to full stock.

See those speakers I installed yesterday for example, I don't mind bending the lip of a brand new aftermarket speaker to make it fit, but I would never cut into the plastic housing to achieve the same result. I also kept the stock connector so I don't have to cut the car's audio cable.

>>17035216
Best bet for the shifter is to ask around on fourms if they know of any kits, or just grab another shifter from a junkyard and chop that one instead.

But over 200k

I want to paint the trim on my supra but don't want to break anything and then have to search for 35 year old trim... Can I successfully tape it off and rattle can the trim a satin black?

The car was cheap so I don't need show room quality, just one solid color that looks good from 10 feet away.

Anybody ever just delete the trim on their car altogether?

You can plastidip it black, you don't have sand it

Oh snap where do you live? East Coast? That sounds exactly like the one I was looking at, damn

>>17040333
Nope, west coast. I think you're getting a better deal, basically the owner of the car went back to his home country and left his car with his family. Its an 88 gts with 250k+ miles on it. So far what I've learned from my experience with it is that its super easy to work on, but remember at its heart its an 80's cheap fun car, so its gonna have its faults. So far those include:
-completely fucked clutch (replaced it)
-non-functional power windows
-seats designed for ants
-oil leak (maybe similar to what yours is having, but mine is just a small leak)
-coolant leak
But yeah I think you could also negotiate the owner down to a lower price, that's the biggest regret I have about my purchase, I paid the full 700$ asking price

1uz in ae92? Can it be done? Should it be done?

My goal is a v8 corolla, for reasons... I wanted it to be pure toyota, so r154 + 1uz, but off the top of my head, I think an LS swap would be easiest, cheapest, and most effective.

Unless perhaps I were to be encouraged.

Looks like the Corolla is the junkyard king. Bet it'll be wayyyy cheaper to pull suspension from one of those. Roughly 30 bucks for one corner with the spring and everything.

I got a SC400 fairly recently and I'm debating whether to restore the interior via ebay used OEM parts or get corbeau FIA seats and LRB aluminum door cards.

Currently it has a (knockoff?) Corbeau driver's seat that is ripped to shit and the passenger seat is stock but the leather is also ripped to shit. It also has no door panels at all.

All told I expect to spend $2500 on the car (I also need wheels and tires and I'm considering a vinyl wrap).

Thoughts?

fuck, the shift cable I ordered didn't fit. ordered a 92 NA cable thinking it should match the tranny, but it was too long. Trying out the original '86 one and hoping it works with the SW20 transmission. After that im having a welder look at welding in the engine mounts, and the car should finally be GOOD TO GOOO

you've got the e153 turbo tranny right? maybe there's a difference between the e153 turbo tranny shift cable and s54 na cable. then again an aw11 cable makes sense too when you've got that shorter length to consider

I thought I would be able to do nothing this weekend, but nope.

Engine and gearbox oil change are now done.

It's a recent aquisition, and I don't have any recent service record, so I try to get a fresh start on pretty much every regular service item.

I used 75w80 GL4, apparently there's a risk with GL5 oils and brass synchromeshes due to a higher concentration in some aditives (sulfur etc). Anyone knows more about this?

>>17067069
Do you mean to work on? If so yeah, it's harder to work on the engine components as opposed to your average front engined car, and there's certainly a learning curve to it as well that's frustrating (ie taking certain mechanisms off to access what you're looking for). After awhile it just becomes second nature when navigating the engine bay, but it's more awkward, yes.

Ohh the guy with the same wheels as mine. So not only does it look good, it's also tight under the bonnet (or hood, or trunk, which one is it?) Am jelly.

Speaking about wheels, since I was working on my car today I desided to torque my wheels to spec for the first time, 105Nm, and it felt like nothing, it's kind of worrying. Is it really a good idea on aftermarket wheels, or should I go back to doing it by feel?

damn, drove past an SW20 today (unfortunately was in my accord and not my AW11 since its borked) and damn. I guess I've only seen them in pictures but they always look a lot bigger. Seeing one IRL they look amazingly cool, smaller and fast.

Once I get sick of my AW11 and its shitty engine swap I might go for one. I was gonna look at getting a mark 3 supra but now i'm leaning towards the SW20, both tends towards ~4000 in my area so I'll probably go for the cleanest I can find from the two

>>17067249
I haven't done it for the Borbet's yet since I just swapped them on but I never had a problem torquing before, I'd be careful just in case.

The manual says GL-3, and if not available GL-4 or GL-5. Not very helpful.

I heard that GL-5 oils can damage yellow metal components. That's why I wanted to be careful. Not sure if it's bs or not, but since they still sell GL-4 oils, but not GL-3, I had no reason not to buy it instead of the more expensive GL-5.

1zz is a piece of shit.

Get the one with the 2zz or nothing.

>>17071946
That's really awesome man. Good for you.

>>17071958
1zz is actually a good engine. Just makes less power than 2zz.

>>17072416
And has shortblock problems.

The 2zz version of the celica is already slightly underpowered (At least it has some character with the lift). Why would you buy the even more underpowered version of a "sports" coupe?

>>17072516
lets look at the bigger problem
why would you buy non awd celica anyway.
If you want a good FF car look at honda, that's all they do.

>>17060420
I know, I actually wanted facelift for 6speed manual and LSD and this one had TTE exaust. Are you the greek mr2 guy?

>>17072416
1zz is only good if it's built and turbocharged

>>17072562
whats a good build to get more power out of 1zz without tarboing it

>>17072535
The celica gts is a good cheap sporty dd shitbox if you can life with the looks.

>>17072585
If you try to build a 1zz without boosting it you're gonna spend thousands for meh results. There's a guy I know with an intermediate NA build and he's only putting down 170whp. If you want to make a 1zz fast your best bet is turboing it at about 10psi on stock internals

>>17072585
There are some decent parts for the 1zz but they're pretty expensive. Cams for example go for $500 and only net around 10-20hp

>>17072671
170whp is plenty.
I've been looking into it myself, 2zz swap can be done sub 2k and it's as bolt is as an engine can be.

I was hoping you could do 1k worth of mods without touching intake or exaust and gain 20-30 hp. I'd be happy with that.
I found lot of people saying sink 5k in engine and you get 10k redline. That sounds like a great project if you have disposable income.

>>17072687
Why do a 2zz swap when you can buy a 2zz car with a 6speed gearbox for less money?

>>17072703
Celica isn't the only car running 1zz

>>17072716
Ok.

It seemed like the topic was about the celica and not the mr2, corolla etc

>>17072687
Cams and a couple other things could get you about 25-30 for under 1k

>>17072737
Yeah with celica might as well get GTS unless you really love your car. Which can be a reason to engine swap.

You can't disconnect the front drive. It has a transaxle with a very simple transfer case bolted up to the transmission where the right side C/V shaft would normally be. The AWD on that vehicle is not performance minded at all, and is little more than peace of mind for people who are worried about driving in bad weather.

>>17040292
Yeah, either take the engine out of the top or transmission from the bottom. Easier to do it by removing trans if you're working on a hoist, at home, not so much.

>>17051981

If the service campaign has been done and the lower ball joints are replaced, you are extremely unlikely to have any issues. I've never seen or heard of a lower ball joint failure on a Tundra or Sequoia after the replacement parts were installed. Call a dealership with the VIN and they can tell you in the campaign was performed already or not.

pretty alright, I got pretty lucky today. So I had noticed my brakes were grinding and they were (pics incoming) so I went and got new rear rotors and brakes. installation was whack as fuck cause I had to rent a set of tools to get the piston to compress by turning clockwise. one side was fine but the grinding side turned out to be a seized piston. so out of curiosity I managed to rig a rear caliper off of a 2004 MR2 Spyder and it worked just fine after swapping a mounting bracket.

not at all man, it's the best cheap fun rwd 2+2 reliable coupe out there. I'd get a second hand earlier year one for under 15k though, brand new prices are always steep in comparison to say a v6 mustang. btw a5k supercharger kit or turbo kit and tires will go a really REALLY long way on an FRS since the chassis and suspension is already fucking amazing. do some research on that and I hope you find what you're looking for.

Did the timing, water pump, vvti cam gear rebuild, coils, plugs, radiator, valve cover & oil pan gaskets,

I got rid of the catalytic converters (scrap yard payed $140 for the palladium), with the $ I bought some
noname headers and straight piped it to the stock Futaba muffler. Got a fancy intake at a garage sale
and modified it to fit. The owner before me had it tuned with some piggy back AEM setup along with
some injectors and an aeromotive in-tank fuel pump. This summer I'm planning a w58 or R154 swap.

I think the only way I was gonna reach that bolt was to drill a big hold into the door. It's fine with just the one bolt, though. Tiny bit of flex but barely noticeable. It's just not worth the frustration. Also I think the driver rear window motor is dead.

>>17089419
Did you try looking it up on how to access the hard bolt?

I watched a video and it was pretty much just blindly reach in there. Not as bad for the front doors which I did manage to do a long time ago but the rear ones are even more cramped. The curve of the door left me no room for my 10mm wrench to move and even my tiny socket wrench was too big with a short socket on it.

I'm not sure Toyota expected anyone to need to replace these. kek

True that. It holds pretty strong with the one bolt so I'm gonna leave it that way. Both the Honda and Toyota have their strengths and weaknesses. They never seem to share weaknesses. Makes for a good pairing.

Engine is not in the car, it's a roller that he doesn't want to finish, I'd have to tow it back to florida and finish it here.

If any texas fags want it I can give you his fb, he wants it gone.

Aw, damn. We do have a general for Houstonfags, though. Maybe one of them will want it?

Post contact info.

>>17090027
here's his fb
/yudaya.rotsev?fref=ufi

The only questions he'll answer about it are when can i get it and where is it.

He's tired of getting jerked around about a free car.

>>17090044
Sounds about right. Do you think you could safely make more boost out of it assuming high quality internals at that compression?

>>17090067

Also he's pretty normie so don't talk about /o/

Might give it a shot driving out there when I'm more confidant in my car. I've borderline restored the whole drivetrain since I got it.

>>17090056
It's pretty photogenic I think. Out of commission for a day though while I wait to pick up my newly installed wheel bearing and some fresh MTF.

>>17090073
There's a guy in Sweden or Norway or some shit like that with a stock blacktop at 14.5 PSI with an SC14 supercharger, so yes, but I don't think you'd really want that much power in most typical 4AGE cars, to be honest.

>>17090084
you can stay where you are and become a member if you want to join and get it established in your area. Even if not you'd always be welcome to a meet.

>>17046104
go with 14x7 with a slight stretch. It give it a nice meaty look

>>17090084
Outside of Texas our numbers are low, we may have only two other people in each state.

As >>17090099, you can just wait a bit till you get members near your area. The closer you are to South, the easier it will get, members do roadtrips all the time.

>>17027784
I fixed mine by drilling a hole in it and attaching it with bailing wire, that was like 2 years ago and it works great.

What was it like putting the filter on? I have an aw11 with a shitty stock box and I'd like to get a cone filter as well but I'm not sure where to get a maf adapter that fits.

I'm in the New Orleans area. So far the longest drive I've done was from there to Jackson, MS and back. No issues at all, aside from my exhaust resonator BTFOing an animal corpse that was in the middle of my lane on the interstate.

>>17090120
I swapped them out today but one of the bolts is impossible to reach. See >>17089419

It's still pretty solid with the one bolt.

If you're ever interested to join, hop in our thread.

>>17090139
Yep 94 with a couple of simple mods and a slow but reliable as fuck D16. The paint is redone by some Puerto Rican who owned it before me and it was generally a terrible job but it looks good from a distance. Wanna do a re-shell to another red one if I ever find one due to some bad damage in the rear. Perfect otherwise, though.

I see your car a lot and love it. A friend of mine has a IS300 sedan but I don't think you wanna see it. It's extreme rice. I can go find a pic if you want to though. kek

>>17090142
I'll hop in sometime. I met a few Anons in my town but none of them post here much. Co-worker saw me post my car in /hg/ and called me out at work. Pretty funny.

How much power?

>>17090171

He had it 4age swapped for awhile, sold the 4age for rx8 parts.

He doesn't have the time to fuck with it, he was also going to 13b swap it so he's also throwing in some 13b irons.

>>17090182
I'm pretty sure my hatch can handle a drive like that. I mean shit I do up to 600 miles a week for pizza delivery which I'm sure is rougher on the car. I'm just paranoid as fuck. I really wanna see other states, though. Been in the Louisiana/Mississippi area my whole life and only just been to Florida for the first time last week.

Thank you, it is other than oil being changed at 65k and its at 85k (km). It is in great goddamn shape and has TTE exaust. Only thing left to do is precats wash and wax maybe in a few weeks.
>>17090141
I can barely turn a key, it'll be months before I can undo stuck bolts

Depending on which part of Florida you probably saw enough turbo'd civics to last a life time.

How far can I get on NA mods? I.e. 2zr-fe with intake/exhaust/12.0:1 pistons, higher lift cams, ECU tune?

Yes I wanna mod the shit out of my Corolla rather than buying a faster car

If I have to go forced I'll probably do centrifugal supercharger

>>17090210
NW got members in Florida who'd be happy to hoon with you.

>>17090222
Dumb question, owner of 04 grey mr2 here.
How do you fold down the wind deflector? Mine has some screw tabs further securing it or something. I find little info in manual.

>>17090240
You can probs get 30-70 hp out of them for a lot of money.
I know for like 5k of mods on 1zz you can get up to 50 extra HP and rise the redline to 10k.

>>17090253
Ok forced it is

>>17090222
Grew up in Pascagoula myself. It's so boring on the gulf coast, though.

>>17090235
Only went to Pensacola Beach in the Corolla which isn't too far in. Had a really bad wheel bearing in the hatch so I've been keeping it in town.

>>17090242
Definitely need to plan some road trips in the future. Gonna have to save a pile of money first.

>>17090163
Thanks! I try not to shit up threads even though its on the more unique side of things. Especially since /o/ is pretty polarized when it comes to wagons, i6 layouts, and anything manufactured in Japan. And this checks every box
>D16
I bet you get double the mpgs than I do lol

>>17090262
easiest way to make slow car fast (with 2zz, son 1zz plenty a fast for mr2) is to lose weight.
>Lightest weight wheels you can find with most weight near center
>light but grippy tires
>lightened componets like glass/carbon body panels
>gut interior you can do without
>lose the spare
>etc
See how far weight loss takes you then maybe 1-2k worth of mods on engine is enough.
Before you want more horses its always wiser to free up existing horses.

>>17090281
>specially since /o/ is pretty polarized when it comes to wagons, i6 layouts, and anything manufactured in Japan.
people shit on my mrs all the time. But its a car that makes me happy and I wouldn't swap it for almost anything even a r33 GTR.
Probs 2zz elise tho.

Yeah people tell me all the time to turbo or B swap it but I honestly love it the way it is.

Pic is my friend's car. Apologies if it makes you cry. kek

It's still a work in progress. Not my thing but he's done it all himself. He's honestly pretty damn good with a rattle can. Might hit him up to freshen up my trim.

>>17090297
Shingu you want invitation to NW discord?

>>17090234
with an '04, the precats are completely optional. technically you could leave them in, if you really wanted to. i wouldnt

what i would do, though, is leave the catalytic converter itself in and cut just the precats out, unless you want a permanent check engine light on your dash

>>17090249
i dont remember my '01 having wind deflectors, at least not when i got it. youre not talking about the weatherstrips are you?

Yeah I know precat failure is less common but I'd rather kill the suicide pact before it happens. I am well aware of the issue and how its safer on post facelift. Never hurts to go over it with every new mrs owner tho.

b) I mean the pic related: Over the shoulder thing that goes up

>>17090315
Sure. Never really used Discord before though.

>>17090341
Ooooohh, I knew it as a little sun visor, I know what youre talking about now. That fucker didnt want to budge on me either, and I found it to be blocking my sight, so I unscrewed it and took it out before I replaced my top.
I dont think theres a way to fold them down, but theyre easy to remove

>>17090379
Okay thanks, I'll go and tinker with it and post results soon.

After driving with my mrs for about total of 3 hours I can say it is a fantastic car. Coming from rav4 the interior quality is damn good, everything is satisfying and clicky. DESU all feels better than a current gen land cruiser. Rattles more but exaust hides it all anyway.

Are your speakers complete dogshit as well or are mine fucked? I had some extra aftermarket ones installed from previous owner but its still garbage

For sure you won't gain 100hp

>>17090401
Everyone talks about the shitty speakers. Its definitely no secret to anyone. Im fucked two way though because my MRS came with some fuckbackwards JVC radio. I dont know how old it is, but its "perfect for MP3 players", which it fuckin isnt, it doesnt even work with an iphone, so in terms of radio usage, im stuck with AM static-filled mexican mariachi jazz at 11 PM at night, which is an aesthetic all its own.

What Lexus do I look for if I want a Japanese v8 to tool around in? Can I make it sound better and move faster?
