13b_rolla Posted August 27, 2011 Report Posted August 27, 2011 hey rolla club mates just a quick question. I'm tryin to find out which cross member to use for a 4AGE conversion into a ke70 corolla. I'm going to be ringing the wreckers up on monday and need to kno what to ask for. they don't deal in old corollas so would i ask for whatever year model the 4age came out in?? would an ae92 cross member work fine?? cheers guys :) Quote
Millaz88 Posted August 27, 2011 Report Posted August 27, 2011 You need a ae71 x-member dude Ae92 are fwd it won't work Quote

love ke70 Posted August 27, 2011 Report Posted August 27, 2011 why do youi think they charge that? its an in demand part, and people are paying the prices. you could always pay to have one modified and engineered....then the 300 seems very cheap... Quote
jimmy-d Posted August 28, 2011 Report Posted August 28, 2011 Hey,if your talking about doing a proper 4age conversion to a ke70 and your complaining about $300 for a crossmember,maybe you should have 2nd thoughts because its definitely going to cost you money and if you plan to drive this on the road then it just has to be done the right way and there are only so many right ways and they all cost!

ke70dave Posted August 28, 2011 Report Posted August 28, 2011 300$ for a GEARBOX cross member? maybe you are refering to a engine cross member. the gearbox cross member is just a flat bit of steel, with a hole in it, and the rubber bit attached to the top (you can buy that rubber bit brand new, it is considered perishable). i got mine for $20 a few yrs, please don't pay 300 for one. you could have one made for less than that. here is a link showing a few photos. http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/11029-te7x-manual-gearbox-crossmember/ please do not pay 300 for a peice of flat metal, it just drives the prices up:( Quote
love ke70 Posted August 28, 2011 Report Posted August 28, 2011 pretty sure he is talking about engine cross member dave, where did you get gbox crossmember from? Quote

Sloth Posted September 3, 2011 Report Posted September 3, 2011 You'll also need a pedal box (another thing that's always overcharged). Quote
lildavo Posted September 3, 2011 Report Posted September 3, 2011 I wouldn't pay $300 for an engine crossmember. I got quoted $75 from the wreckers. People are making 4a conversions to expensive by putting a tax on the parts required. Quote
