Re: AE86 Cruise Control

AE86 Cruise Control

So basically, this will be a little messy. The thread started with me asking general interest about cruise control, wanting to install it on my 86' USDM GT-S that did not come factory-equipped. Finding out there was no information, other than DORIFTO DELETEOOO, I guess I'll just turn this into a how...

Re: Heinous Rodknock from 1986 Mr2

Same here, I don't know what it is about the color red, but I just think it's too much on a car.

It's too bad, there are always really cheap red MR2s/AE92/86's and even FX-16s out there.

Re: AE86 4AGE overheat

Yeah, I've used PoR-15 before and it is awesome. Basically, you just sand off the rusted or bare metal areas, clean it with a good degreaser (dawn dish soap is good if you don't have any fancy stuff), and apply I think 3 light coats. You can then either use a top coat (POR-15 also sells this, you wa...

Hey Sarge, nice to see you again. It's not cranking at all, not even attempting to crank; I don't hear the "wir wir wir" before catching fire and turning over. I think I might have either shorted out the starter, or something along the path of spark (spark plug to igniter). I haven't been ...

If you want to use spot treatments for rusting, look up "POR15", it's the best stuff in the U.S. market. Be sure to wear eye, mask, and glove protection as it's toxic as all hell :) https://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=por-15+paint&tag=googhydr-20&index=aps&hvadid=318...

Re: WTB: Speedo Cable_GTS_Manual

Make sure you get the GT-S speedo gear on the cable. There is a difference between the speedo gears between the GT-S and the SR5. One has 16 teeth and the other 20. If you're getting a full speedo cable with the gear (can't remember if these corollas use a single cable), make sure it says 16 and not...

I didn't read the initial post, but usually when taking current measurements, especially resistance (ohms), on cars as old as this, you should take it with a grain of salt like JohnDee said. For the most part, when you are reading resistance, from my experience, a complete OPEN is what you are looki...

Valve covers are getting powder coated so It'll be a bit :P

NGK wires should be coming today. They come with a new ignitor wire. Anyone have the FSM page for using a multimeter and reading current/resistance across the ignitor? I can't find it in mine.
