3lud13 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 Just wondering whats compatible with an ae82 as far as mechanicals go (engines, brakes, transmission, suspension, hubs). It seems to be getting quite hard to find parts for an ae82 or maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places but was wondering if things could be upgraded to slightly later models would make things a little easier. Currently I am thinking ae92 have heard alot of it may be easy bolt on difference also maybe toyota starlet. Quote
Twinky Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 The "Search" function and the "FAQ/Wiki" tab at the top of the page are your friends. You should aslo trawl through AE82.net Quote
carbonboy Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 The "Search" function and the "FAQ/Wiki" tab at the top of the page are your friends. You should aslo trawl through AE82.net +1 The good news is, there's a fair bit that you can shove into an 82 :yes: The bad (well, not really) news is, you're in for a bit of reading & re-reading (& if you're like me, re-re-reading :laff: ) to find out the info you're after to make a decision on what to do. Good luck & seeya at AE82OC :y: Quote
KENut Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) Dude its one of the most popular cars on the planet, there is no shortage of parts for them. What model have you got? Twincams have the 4age and rear disks. Bigger brakes can be had off other models (ae92, sv21) Gearboxes are pretty much all interchangable (ie ae82, ae92, even 6 speeds from later models) You can get factory lsd boxes. Search, and ye shall learn (twincam.org, twincam.org.au also) Edited June 23, 2011 by KENut Quote

Search, and ye shall learn (twincam.org, twincam.org.au also) well I thought it was a popular car too but currently trying to source a 5age in my local area seems quite an effort everywhere I ask they pretty much tell me no hope of finding one. as for twin cams having discs on the rear I not overly sure about this as I am still yet to find an ae82 with rear discs and whenever I mention I want to change to discs people tell me there isnt any point the drums are adequate and yes they may be adequate but don't overly look good behind a set of mags Quote
Twinky Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 You have mutch to learn.................................................... By the way the 5AGE was a TRD special, so good luck finding one in the country let alone SA......... Quote
Twinky Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) This is what you can do with your rolla. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeHGJPxnnJw Car in front in a supercharged 4AGE My Car Specs: 1987 AE82 Twin Cam 4AGE Silvertop 20v conversion ISC coilovers AE93 SX Series 2 Brakes EBC Greenstuff pads Toyo T1Rs all round 8,000 rpm shifts WOOT!

By the way the 5AGE was a TRD special, so good luck finding one in the country let alone SA......... I do realise I have much to learn thats why I am looking at pages, wikis and websites alot of the time and asking what seems to most of you like stupid questions as I am researching and gaining information. my bad was meant to read 4age not 5age though this morning have found a halfcut going what I am calling not to badly priced its a ae101 with a supercharged 20 valve 4age in it so am quite tempted to buy it and do the swap. some things the fella who has the half cut did bring up though is the difference in flywheel sizing me having a single cam apparently have a 8inch flywheel the supercharged twincam has a 9inch I figure this isnt much of an issue as worst case scenario I should be able to use the gearbox and all from the other vehicle. I could possibly use the front brakes from the 101 with the hubs being compatible though the struts are different. Quote

I could possibly use the front brakes from the 101 with the hubs being compatible though the struts are different. super charged 20v didn't ever happen as far as coming stock in a ae101, the 16v 4agze did in the ae101 and they're the best of the 'ze motors. The only ae82's that came stock with rear discs are the twincam edition's in the hatch and seca. If you have been readin wiki's etc you should know this. Maybe read some more before you ask a question that has been asked too many times, but hey its all part of the process, good luck with the build! Quote
