Holy cow it looks like solid rust in the pic! Hopefully some knowledgeable folks will chime in for you. I have no experience in that area. yeah it's just the angle of the picture. but it's pretty rediculous. i don't know why people let their stuff sit for years and years on end. frustrating. saw so...

i was able to turn the crank after some cussing and elbow grease. i decided to dig a bit deeper today and removed the intake manifold and exhaust manifold and this water plug fell off the block. i found a lot of rust inside the water passage. can this be cleaned out? http://i909.photobucket.com/albu...

In the picture you can see a very faint 4ag on the right side of the sticker. Also a Google search of the ECU number brings it up as 84-86 corolla gts usdm. wow, you're right. funny, looking at it in persin it's harder to see the fint 4 ag than in the pic. i think the flash is the reason. also did ...

When deleted, usually the entire system is removed for aesthetics because it gets rid of clutter. However yours still has the vacuum system, and instead of putting a block off plate on the intake and a bolt on the exhaust, the tube was just cut and crimped on each end. Maybe someone thought it wasn...

If you do not have an inspection requirement then the engine will run OK without the EGR and most of the other emission controls. Your will need the O2 sensor, it's missing on the exhaust manifold. You will need a replacement or a resistor in the circuit to send the correct voltage to the ECU. You ...

Lots of people loop the steering lines. Not sure if it's really a safety issue, but I wouldn't do it, however I'm picky. Regarding the emissions/egr system... I don't see a pic of the intake side. The exhaust tube is definitely cut. It looks like some of the vacuum components of the system are stil...

like title says. i have another ecu that actually says 4ag on it. but is this one for the sr5? i tried search but it kept giving me an error message. thanks.

i'm hoping someone can help me with my 86 build. here is a link to the page on this site. thank you kind sirs and mams

i also notice the emissions system seems to have been deleted? can anyone confirm by looking at these pics? you can see in this pic on the exhaust manifold that tube has been clamped shut also same thing for the tube coming off the intake side. next pic http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/notni...

i noticed that the steering rack has been looped off with a hose too and there is no power steering reservior or pump in the bay. is this a common thing to do to the 86? i hear sime people do a manual steering conversion and eliminate power steering but is this a safe way to do it?

thanks for this info.

day 1

hello fellow members. i finally made the leap and got myself a 1986 corolla sr5 that was in the middle of a gts conversion..............i need help. i have so many parts i'm getting dizzy. my problem is i don't know what parts are for the gts conversion or the old sr5 engine parts. i have from i can...

hey everyone. i finally took the plunge and entered the world of 86. i need help. :arrow: the guy i bought from, bought from another guy that was in the midst of an sr5 to gts conversion and he (the guy i bought it from) didn't do much more to it before selling to me. so i don't have a whole lot of ...

b pillar backwards everything is different. headliner should be different. Rear Seat bottoms are the same, seat tops supposdly interchange. excellent.......thanks for the info guys. i am finally a proud owner of an 86 hatch. it's an sr5. i'll post pics and more info tomorrow but it is a work in pro...

are the parts for the hatch and coupe different interior wise from the b pillar back and headliner?? ex. dash, center console etc. same? maybe rear seats are the same? thanks

Dude... holy cow $2k for that? Sellers be trippin... That's scrap price $300. If you can't wait for a better option, perhaps shipping one in from somewhere else (or doing a road trip) should be considered. You'll spend more and/or do more work, but it may be worth it in the long run for a solid bod...

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/notnilc20/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpszgz1thel.jpg Here is another one im considering. It has rust like this on both sides and the owner says this is all the rust. What do you guys think? It's an '84 sr5 hatch manual trans with fuel pressure issues according t...

^I didn't realize it had to be a hatch. Just curious why? Fwiw the coupes are lighter, more rigid and quieter. Plus their less subject to 'takumi tax' and more easily fly under the radar. BUT, I am familiar with the need for a hatch - VERY common newb theme. Sorry i didn't specify that it has to be...

It's a lot. Way too much imo. Edit: Here's an example of a reasonably priced roller sr5: https://asheville.craigslist.org/cto/5372358151.html It's a decent price and the hood scoop comes free with the car. ;) However, it's an auto trans and for me anyway it's gotta be a manual and hatchback. Thanks...

Yeah i want it to become my daily driver. He says $2,800 for the car without motor. Seems like a lot but then again i dont know these cars very well.

I would wait for another. $4k for a gtsr5 that doesn't run is crazy. It has a serious engine problem and has primer exterior... with bodywork (hopefully it's not bondo central). Also, it's a diy carb setup which isn't beginner friendly. (I hope you know an import carb expert.) $1500 at the very mos...

So just a little update on this. I made him an offer and he decided he was gonna hild out to try to get his asking price of $2,500. Anyway, moving on i found another car here. https://fayar.craigslist.org/cto/5387389943.html But he is wanting $4,000 for it. Good thing is it is where my parents live ...

Hey there. Thanks for the replies guys. The asking price is $2,500 and he says he's firm. If, and that's a big if, i decide to buy i plan on replacing all the upholstery including new carpet. My good friend of mine is an upholsterer and i get the serious hook up. Things i'm most concerned about is t...

Thanks guys. Yeah here are some interior pics. Parts are there but some look moldy. What do you think? http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/notnilc20/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps0k3k4uo9.jpg http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/notnilc20/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsry2jvp7n.jpg http://i909.photo...

Thanks everyone for the great info. The seller told me he will try to get some pics of the interior this weekend so hopefully i will be able to better determine if it is a project for me. Thanks again.

Can you tell me also if there is a difference between a 1984 and 1985 sr-5? Thanks. Hold up. Yes there are differences. In 1984 only the Sr5 was available in the United States. The GTS did not come until 1985. In 1984 the Sr5 was equipped with GTS seats and had some cool stuff going on like power m...
