Kid-Ae Posted July 19, 2010 Report Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) She's not perfect, but she's mine :laff: AE92 CS Corolla Hatch 4A-FC engine 3spd granny-matic White Interior is in immaculate condition, exterior isn't too shabby either!

e70van Posted July 19, 2010 Report Posted July 19, 2010 ae92's will have a 4afc or 4afe bro. twincammmm! Quote
Kid-Ae Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Posted July 19, 2010 Haha typo.. Thanks mate :laff: Gotta admit, it's actually not a bad engine. Quote
Kid-Ae Posted July 23, 2010 Author Report Posted July 23, 2010 Few piccies, she's not clean yet though. Gotta get new drive belt I think, it's squeaking on startup... Might be AC belt, don't know.. Quote
Bamboo Posted July 23, 2010 Report Posted July 23, 2010 Nice work. Looks like a good firsty. I'm sure you'll love it. Could you PLEASE ditch those hubcaps? If you want to have caps, head on down to pick a part and start searching for Toyota caps. They'll be cheap and look a whole lot better! Time for you to get out there and enjoy! Quote
78_7kRolla Posted July 23, 2010 Report Posted July 23, 2010 Good reliable little car buddy. Check to see how 'dry' or cracked your drive belts are. You'll find there are two and may require adjustment if their condition is good. All the best :yes: Quote
Kid-Ae Posted July 23, 2010 Author Report Posted July 23, 2010 Don't worry Bamboo, they.. uhh.. fell off before through some 'alternative' terrain :yes: Yeah, ill have a look-see tomorrow morning, won't be able to afford new ones till next week, but i have a feeling they'll have a bit of minor cracking and dryness.

Kid-Ae Posted July 23, 2010 Author Report Posted July 23, 2010 Well, belts needed a smidge of tension and it got rid of my squeaking issue (for now). Now.. What are some incredibly cheap little tricks I can use to make a little bit more power? Being a grannymatic, it makes anything remotely hilly send my foot to the floor and the gear level back to 2 to build revs.. Quote
Johno Posted July 23, 2010 Report Posted July 23, 2010 Hey Sam, congrats on the rolla :yes: Looks like a great first car. What happened to that k36 you were getting? Instant power increase would be an exhaust, you'll get about 15% more power But reallly cheap just give it a service it, change all the filters and fluids. Quote
Ben-89 Posted July 24, 2010 Report Posted July 24, 2010 Nice looking corolla rollaboy, At pick a part in cambellfield is a manual ae92, all complete manual running gear too possible conversion? :yes: Quote
Kid-Ae Posted July 25, 2010 Author Report Posted July 25, 2010 Long story Johno, lets just say it err... Didn't live up to its expectations.. Wish I could afford a zorst.. But being unemployed and back at uni next week, with $100 to my name, isn't really fun. Although I WILL be getting a 2" CAT back exhaust when funds permit :yes: It's already had a full service done... I think I may just be too used to driving the Commodore.. Mmmmm.. Manual conversion would be amazing :yes: BUT I had to get an auto license as I had ZERO access to a manual for the test. Quote
Kid-Ae Posted July 26, 2010 Author Report Posted July 26, 2010 As of the weekend, Dad and I will be tearing the garden bed on the left hand side of the driveway apart (Mum was all for it, I almost fell over when SHE suggested it). This way I can park alongside him instead of under the tree to the side of the driveway, without a large amount of possum poo/urine piling up every day over my car.. Hmm.. Maybe I can convince him to build a carport there too :jamie: Quote
Kid-Ae Posted July 26, 2010 Author Report Posted July 26, 2010 Gah, belts are squeaking again.. When I have some money i'll sort it out.. Quote
Kid-Ae Posted July 27, 2010 Author Report Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) Guysguysguys! I want a instrument cluster with a tacho, once I get one, how do I go about installing so that it all works properly?? Edited July 27, 2010 by ROLLA'BOY Quote
Johno Posted July 30, 2010 Report Posted July 30, 2010 Guysguysguys! I want a instrument cluster with a tacho, once I get one, how do I go about installing so that it all works properly?? All you have to do is pull the old cluster out and plug the new tacho cluster in. All the wires should be there for plug and play. Try and find one with low Kms, save's winding it back later.. hehe Quote
