Car is freshly painted and I've got new trim on it (just no trim picture yet)

I know I want to do the window trim at least in black, what do you guys think about the hatch and bumpers?

>>17442195
I think the car would look better with black bumpers. Hatch windows can be tinted but I don't recommend a black hatch, it'll look ricey.

1986 AE82 Twin Cam Seca
Bought it for $600AUD
Front lip is a rear bumper off an 87 AE82 cut up and narrowed 2 inches in the centre then screwed upside down to the front of the stock front bumper (struts are to stop it ripping off when my father decided to drive up steep driveways without slowing down...)

How many KM?
If it needs timing belt, clutch and ball joints it could be another 4k+
Clutch job especially, absolute cheapest ive been quoted was 1500$ in labor.

The front suspension components are extremely expensive also, around 2k

If its got more then 140k and the seller doesnt mention anything, count on one or more being an issue

>>17444359
u-pull-it wreckers... usually have lots of 90's era rollas laying around.

only thing is you take the risk of it being fucked but if you get a good one itll be cheap as chips.

>>17444427
Most salvage yards dont have vehicles sitting out for long before they're scrapped, and provide hoists.
Find a vehicle with body damage to rule out mechanical issues.

The local pick n pull sells transmissions for 130$

I just wanna drive it im stuck with a shitty dodge Dakota in the desert that has basically no suspension because it's been abused for the last decade.

The usual rust, front suspension, oil leaking around anything in the engine bay. Is it auto or manual? If auto the shift from first to second is usually a bit rough but that's normal. I don't have any experience with manuals. Post the ad if you have it?

Yo! Nab that sportcross man! I've got the red one in the collage. Def check the front and rear suspension then. Since the wagon shares the same components as the sedan but is ~150-200lbs heavier the shocks get worn a bit faster. As for the silly buttons, they can be kinda fun. I use them from time to time

>>17445136
Well if everything checks out in the drive tomorrow ill buy it same day.
Anything other than the suspension then? also how rare are these sportcross, i've only seen one in person and happened to come across this one while looking for wagons on craigslist

>>17445136
Also the sportcross looks like completely different cars in each of the colors, your red looks amazing

>>17445184
Uh only other thing I can think of is that the dash can get a bit melty but that's an is300 problem as a whole. Around 29k were made over the course of 5 years and I think ~3k made it to the states so it's pretty uncommon to see. I think I came across those numbers from a clublexus post. It can, then, be a problem to source body parts. Everything from the B pillar back I think is unique to the wagon body

Nothing new, so I'll just post a recent pic.

Have you ever been in that situation when your car works just fine, and probably will for many years with minimum maintenance, but you still feel the need to do this and that?

So far I planned :

- having both bumpers repainted, plus some minor dents
- new supensions front and rear, the stock ones are a bit bouncy, they're not fucked, but they've seen some shit
- cat delete, to gain a few HP
- maybe a CAI, just for the intake sound

That's at least 500-600€ right there, but I don't need it, it's just because I want this car to be as clean as possible, even if it's "just" a Corolla.

Can't come up with any good ideas on what to get for my personalized plates for my cressy...

He called me back a few minutes later, telling me to take care of it and since it was an antique, that I should not push it so hard.
He always thought it was a shitbox and always told me to sell it until he actually drove it and now loves it.

C50-52 transmissions can be pretty hard to come by, depending on where you live. Where I live, the pakis exported the shit out of the AE101s, which means that they're very rare in junkyards, your best bet, in that case, is to buy a donor car.

Another idea is to buy the rebuild kit on ebay, and do it yourself, if you can afford to keep it garaged for a while. Having that done in a shop can be expensive.

Selling it for one with the V6 just doesn't make sense as ones with decent mileage on them are expensive as shit.

Should I turbo it with a conservative amount of boost? It shares the Scion TC's aftermarket since both use the same engine.

>>17453751
pretty easy, just like any other spring and strut setup. mr2 TRD springs are known to be extremely good on handling (paired with koni yellow adjustables usually) while being a lot more comfortable than coilovers for a daily

So, I'm about to tear into the 20r in my 78 celica this weekend. Started rod knocking due to oil starvation. I have a fully rebuilt shortblock, does /tg/ think the cylinder head will be fine? Had 81k miles on it. I want to just swap everything from one block to the other and drop it back in and get back to getting hectic enough to throw the chrome lips off the steelies since I only have the one left and I want to finish the job.

>>17453722
200-250hp seems reasonable

>>17453771

Say, if someone ran the oil out of a 4AGE in an 86 MR2 5k miles into a rebuild and it needed to rebuild it again, about what in USD would be the going rate? Asking for me lol.

>>17454578
Do you work on Toyotas for a living, by chance?

>>17454658
That's what I was thinking, if it died that fast it was probably poorly sealed with a cheap kit. A rebuilt long block plus a reman cylinder head should be 1200 and under, arp studs and a trd head gasket wouldn't be more than 300 so I would expect replacement to be a similar price. I just want it on the road desu
>>17454709
No I wish, I don't have the facilities or experience to do a project like this. I'm good for alot but not engine out stuff on a car like this.

>>17454627
Nah the rest of the car is great with 10k in receipts, rebuilt C50 with new LSD, new struts and bushings, new clutch/flywheel, new exhaust, new stainless brake lines, even fresh paint. All it needs is a motor, one of those deals where I save money ey and five years of work finishing another dudes project. It runs, it just makes terrible valve train noises and I know better than to just drive it on down the road like that

>>17453129
>>17453129
I've looked into this more and more lately as I have the tC

Seems like the safe amount Of boost most people do with that engine is around 6psi, after hat it starts to wear on the internals too much. Dezod makes a pretty reliable turbo for the engine, in thinking I might buy from them.

Most people with tC's usually see around 250-260hp with a turbo and 6psi, add on an intake exhaust and header and you'll get a bit higher.

I've thought about it but I'm having a hard time justifying the 5-7k that it wold cost instead of using that and saving that as a down payment on something faster without a turbo

>>17453140
Manual with lsd, 99k with full service
Going to turbo the 2j when the w58 blows 3rd

Can I put an LS1 in a supra? Mkii or mkiii, I really just want to drive a Japanese car, but also, I want a American v8... 1uz is just not as good, or as used. So why not a Japanese car powered by American v8?

Will I get in trouble though? Feels wrong

>>17455413
People sometimes put in ls, but the 1uz is usually the choice as more available and you just slap a w58 on it for fun.

What is your opinions on the Toyota crown jzs171? The auto transmission is a bit of a problem for me, how hard is it to do the manual swap?

>>17455515
I know, the 1uz is supposedly just a bellhousing away from giving me a japanese v8.

I might keep thinking about the 1uz, but to my eye it seems the ls1 will give me power, torque, reliability, and bolt ons, while being lighter and smaller and maybe even cheaper... It's hard to keep it all toyota when you can gain so much all at once

Any other ideas /tg/?

It is SEVERELY sludged. Car runs surprisingly great except for oil burning.

If there are factory JDM mirrors, sure. If not, then please no. You have a cool little Corolla that's nice and clean, just keep it that way. And it's the LE. It's objectively a piece of shit car, but any old car in that condition is cool in my books. My brother had a white '87 sedan. Was pretty nice till some idiot hit it while it was parked on the street. And then my brother hated it because it wasn't fixed right and he hated how little power it had so he basically just beat on it and junked it.

Pic related is my '85 Celica. I've had a problem for ages now where it starts to buck and idle rough in hot weather. Might be signal generator or igniter. So I'm not really driving it too much right now since it's summer.

>>17461169
I have a T231, it's very mundane for commuting, like driving a corolla. I get 26 mpg daily and once got to like 37 mpg on the highway. The 1zz-fed in that is probably going to return better gas mileage than my 2zz-ge, and probably going to be a lot more quieter. For both cars, the NVH isn't going to be swell, but what can you expect out of a 17-year old sporty compact.

Try to get an estimate. I wouldn't be surprised if it cost a total of $1k for parts and labor (toyota stealrshit) but I don't know what they charge for that. It depends on hourly rates at shops.

How does MR2 drive in snow? A pretty heavy one when roads aren't clean to be exact. I'm looking for a car with pop-ups right now and I really like the MR2, but Im not into almost dying on every turn during snow-flurry

>>17474007
snow tires and anything is drivable under the right caution in snow. I've done it before and it's not going to magically spin out and kill you. I have no idea why people have this idea that it'll magically 360°, just don't drive like an idiot

i was on a damp road once and took a 35 turn at like 45 and it magically 360d' i just barely stopped accelerating too. Did the same turn in a Quattro audi TT at 50 when it was raining and it just pulled through. Dont fuck with MR2s in bad weather, if you must, drive it like a truck.

I find that extremely hard to believe man.. not once in my 5 years of hooning this car as a DD has it ever been that easy to snap (in my experience the MR2 has much much higher limits of grip but it's infamous for little to no warning) but of course there's different variables like tires, driving conditions and capabilities etc etc.

>>17474432
-25% can be pretty harsh, even in my humble '93 Corolla, if I lift a quarter throttle while above 4k the engine brake will kick pretty hard, it depends on the car's sensibility, and how harshly you lift, even if it's not by a lot.

Redpill me on Starlets /tg/ are they worth getting? Coming from a 03 hyundai getz

>Corolla keeps overheating

Fuck. Maybe the heater core? I did notice a leak at the back side of the engine bay but I haven't pinpointed where is coming from. I got to get the car on ramps and figure it out.

>>17477245
Thermostat.

>>17478023
Still out of town but I looked at it while it's cold. Thermostat is located under the distributor and it's leaking hardcore at the water pump. It's accessory belt driven though.

>>17478061
No talking about the leak. The fact that your water is boiling could be due to a stuck thermostat. The leak could very well just be a side effect of the overheating.

Which engine?

Did a basic inspection on my 4A-FE AE101 today, 3500km after the last oil change (so halfway).

How's that for oil consumption? I'd say I drive half reasonably, half spirited (5-6k gear changes), and I use Total 5000 15W40, cheap stuff.

>>17478072
7afe. I could change that first and see? Even with the car off I can watch the drops coming from the water pump area on the back left of the engine.

>>17478157
Replace the water pump. Inspect your thermostat, use the value engraved on it to test it in hot water with a thermometer and see if it opens when it should. Replace if necessary.

These pages are from the 4AFE manual, but the part number for the thermostat is the same, so the rest should follow. The 7AFE is basicaly a stroked version of the 4AFE.

Cool thanks. Got it back home with the heater working since I filled it back up before heading back. Doesn't look too hard since it's accessory driven and not timing belt driven. It is cramped back there, though. Replaced that tiny hose that goes to the water pump a long while back and it was a pain with my huge hands.

In the neighborhoods on this side of town, there's like a gang that has been going around and nonchalantly opening Toyota cars in the middle of the night to go through them. People I have talked to have all had a similar story of events, but the difference in them is the age of their car: late 90's, mid 2000's, recent. Is there a master key that opens most Toyota's that haven't had their locks changed?

>>17479225
No most toyotas from the 2000s have laser cut keys if I'm not mistaken.

More than likely people being complacent and leaving them unlocked. Sounds like you also have a basketball American problem.

Get a gun.

>>17479262
I'm pretty certain that they were locked. In my area people don't go inside until their car beeps and the handles dont open; I don't have a Toyota personally but I make sure mine beeps several times.

>>17442141
Will you allow a Prius onto the montage?

>>17470767
It's an effect blue. The color is so good that it makes up for less than perfect painting, I'll try to find the exact code next time I talk to them

Poor eurofag from a country with shitty weather and almost no snow removal service in the winter here
Im going to buy my first car soon (though I have 2 years driving experience with my parents car)
and I'm looking into something relatively fast and cheap. Preferably with some good possibility of tunning later on. Something that I loved since seeing it for the first time was MR2 and 90s Celica, especially the first one because of it's speed that would really be handy for me (bypass on daily route, on the highway quite often and acceleration for ton of lights in the town)
The problem is, that as I said earlier I'm fucking poor and the snow is something more than common on the roads, so I suppose that MR2 is out of question since Ive read that they often end up as money sinks + the oversteer can get really bad at snow. I know that Celica is pretty good at snow, but does it apply to the older ones to?
Alternatively I've been thinking about prelude or Integra but I'm really torn between these 4 and wanted to get some help/suggestions
