  1. My parent's 96 Camry and my 97 Corolla have that feature....
  2. Have you filled it up yet? Go on actual k's travelled and litres put in, that way you can rule out a dodgy fuel guage or sender.
  3. Gregorys manual is well worth it, this for an AE92, 102 or 112? Diagnostics check would be the first thing I'd do, bridge the T and E1 connectors in the diagnostics terminal with a paperclip, then see what code the Check Engine Light flashes up. If nothing comes up from that, check for things like leaking injectors, spark plug condition, O2 sensor condition, dirty air filter, blocked throttle body, MAP sensor, etc, basically anything which has to do with controlling the amount of air or fuel going into the engine. Out of interest, what kind of economy are you getting now? Does it feel like it has lost power as well?
  4. Might have been 195/65, can't remember. They were what came on the wheels, never changed them
  5. It's fairly tall yes, but because it's a 14" wheel you need something substantial in the firewall otherwise they get lost in the guards. The standard tyre from the MA61 is even bigger, something like 225/50, though they most likely scrub. I actually prefer the ride height and tyre size that way, rally-spec FTW.
  6. Brain fade. I meant either PS or aircon.
  7. Just look at the hole in the wheel and find out if you need flat, shanked, rounded or chamfered wheel nuts, then get ones to suit the Corolla studs. Normal policy is if the thread size is the same then use whatever nuts came with the wheel, if the thread isn't the same size then use the same style nut but with the appropriate thread for the studs.
  8. Agreed, generally helps if they're shrouded too, although that's for thermos mounted on the rear of the radiator (and act as draw-throughs, not blowers)
  9. Here Thats with standard suspension height and 195/60 (I think) tyres
  10. Where was the tensioner? On mine it's between and below the crank pulley and the air-con compressor, with the power steering pump sitting on top of the aircon compressor. So the lower half of the belt path is identical regardless of whether the PS pump is there or not, you'll just have greater wrap around the air-con pulley and crank pulley. Toyodiy show the same tensioner setup for AC-only and PS/AC combined.
  11. I put it so I can see from the bottom of the back windows up, and from the rear quarter window back. Anything else I can headcheck, and if I need to use the passenger-side mirror for reverse parking I utilise the wonderful invention called power mirrors to dip them down so I can see the gutter.
  12. I would have thought for a non-PS system with air-con you could just run the same tensioner as the aircon+PS system, just with a shorter belt.
  13. Tell them you plan to make love, not war
  14. The tensioner pulley is different between PS and non PS cars, neither was standard in the AE82 Twincam models but both were very common options, so common that it's quite rare to find one without both PS and aircon Here's the belt path for a PS/AC car, you can see that the tensioner pulley acts on the opposite side of the belt to the PS-only cars Ignore the blue line (I was contemplating removing the aircon but didn't have the PS-only tensioner), the yellow line is the PS + aircon belt-path with the red tensioner pulley on the outside of the belt - the PS-only beltpath will have the tensioner on the inside, and thus is ribbed (so you can't use the same tensioner pulley)
  15. Considering the plates, then yeah it's probably Europe. It came up on Toymods ages ago and there was reference to it being a kangaroo (or similar), so I was just re-iterating what I said there here.
  16. Try eBay, they turn up there all the time, usually for $15-20
  17. That was Mechanik Skippeh (ie a kangaroo) checking the fan belts...
  18. Welcome to Rollaclub, E10x are always welcome (and I'm not biased :lolcry:). I'm so jealous of Europe for getting the 2-door FX-GT shape, we only got the 4 door sedan, 5-door hatch (basically the same as yours with two extra doors), and the 5-door liftback Sprinter (in small numbers). Fortunately we only got the 1.6L 4AFE and 1.8L 7AFE. An FX-GT front bumper is something I really want too, they're quite hard to get over here and if I haven't found one in the next year or so I might be forced to import one from Europe, once again you guys got lucky with that.
  19. +2. Well, +5, since I've had 4 Corollas and haven't crashed any of them.
  20. Kebin's is a 4AGZE. And as SLO-030 mentioned, some of the blocks have a cut-out in them where the transfer case sticks out (Toyota at their space-saving best), so unless the block of the engine you want to use has that cut out, you'll need to do some angle-grinder work 4AGZEs are much harder too, due to the supercharger location.
  21. And Dominos-spec pizza tray wheels.
  22. It's the exact same gearbox, C52, as long as you carry the AE93 shafts over it should drop in with absolutely no problems* *no 100% guarantees, but I can't see why not. The engines are essentially the same block-wise, the gearboxes are the same.
  23. Can you transfer it to another fund? Most supers you can consolidate into one quite easily.
  24. ATOYOT - Black Jeep Grand Cherokee that used to live down the road from me (may still, but haven't seen it in a while) V - BMW X5 that lives down the road from me
