yeah, it would be really cool if there was a way to re vitalize this forum. lots of good stuff here, most of the info i use for my 5.5AG build is just pulled from old threads on here. maybe if the A series and other cars that have the A series(other than the 86 and MR2) got more recognition from you...

its mostly active on facebook now, its been pretty well discussed over there.

yeah! i planned on ordering one of their valve covers for the 4AG 20v but sadly i was too late.

back at it again, got a smallport block sleeved, cleaned up and ready to be assembled as soon as my rotating assembly is delivered! so now im gonna focus a little more on the head. i originally planned on using MRPs stainless steel valves as well as their titanium retainers and toda valve springs, b...

they also make really bad replicas of formula Atlantic covers, ive met one or two people who use their products, not the best units, if you want an aftermarket valve cover JSPfab is the way to go.

ill have to do some more research on this, thank you for the information. is there anything else i should know? i still havent made the decision which route im going with my engine. my main reason for looking into a 5.5AG was maintaining a square engine and lower consecutive ratios. i want my engine...

some things came up, I haven't been focusing on my engine build as much, but i have gotten some other stuff done! removed the seam sealer and stitch welded my engine bay, I also ordered a Flo's chassis reinforcement kit and I'm gonna be welding that up tomorrow! I've also got some suspension compone...

sick! ill definitely use your work as reference material, if you dont mind could i send you a private message about a commission?

found out i dont actually need the backplates! glad i found this out, apparently its better for airflow to not run them.

been slowly gathering parts.. so far i have some cams, and a whole rotating assembly. my cylinder head needs some work so im sending it into a machine shop soon. so i was thinking i might as well have my exhaust and intake ports shaved and polished too, does anyone have any advice about this? theres...

aftermarket or OEM?

damn, thanks for letting me know, are there any aftermarket options i can go with?

i have two sets of OEM front back plates, is it possible for me to use front backplates on a GTS rear end? ive had a hard time finding rear backplates.

i just got a CBY hatch and im planning on installing it this weekend, are the locks on coupes and hatches interchangeable? i was planning to remove the locks from my parts car and use them on my hatchback, has anyone else ever done this? if this isnt a good option does anyone have any suggestions

Another not a fan for a 7AG 20V, the intake valves are too small, compared to a fully ported big valve largeport head. also the TRD F/A ITBs don't require an adapter for use on a largeport head. I wouldn't want to see the air flow disruption with an adapter that goes from the long wide TRD ITB to t...

OH BOY!! Another 7AGE! I'll be watching this one. I will ask why you went with the 20v head though. A lot do, but I've found the big port does as well, if not better. Having the 20v moniker is more an ego than necessity. Each to his own. I have a couple of suggestions, right off the bat. The 4AGE o...

thought id start a thread for my work in progress 7AG 20v, so far I've acquired a set late model Formula Atlantic throttle bodies(a friend of mine has developed an adapter for the 20v head!), VVT cam gear for the blacktop head, soon im getting my hands on some new cams! hope this build will pan out ...

no i havent but i will give it a look

trying to get my hands on a celica GT-4! are there any other forums where i could get information on this platform? and get more info on the 3SGTE?

ive heard from multiple sources that the intake and exhaust camshafts for the 4AG 16v are universal and can be interchanged. is this true?

ive heard some rumors about a modified intake cam gear for the 20v, i recently got some cams from toda and im looking into the cam gear modification. can anyone give me any information on this? could this improve the reliability/drivability of my engine in the long term?

thank you.

so swap to AE inner and outer tie rods? would i have to switch to AE non power inner tie rods or would i be able to keep my PS outer tie rods

recently did an MR2 rack swap on my corolla, and until now ive had no issues, i recently broke a tie rod end and decided to replace it with the tie rods from my coupe. i didnt know that the AE86 tie rod ends were longer than the AW11. should i buy a set of AE86 inner tie rods or should i buy a new p...

yes i would greatly appreciate it if you could send me the diagram. that would be amazing. ill run and buy some masking tape and sharpies, how lengthy do you think this job will be?

i dont know if ive gone truly in depth to my situation, ive had an 84 hatch as a project for a good 4 years now, its been a big but overall smooth project, but ive still had some issues, the last thing i talked about was options for new brakes and ive since fixed my issue with bake fade. but now i h...

got it, thanks for the suggestions! ill do some research on those pads

brake fade, ive been taking my corolla out more often and have been noticing the brakes are fading less than midway through the sessions. i take it to mt palomar and just after a bit of spirited driving, my baking starts to get less efficient, ive also started to notice my calipers are leaking. i pl...

most of my suspension components have been delivered, the last thing i need are the brakes i plan to daily my corolla as well as taking it to the track. does anyone have any suggestions for brake upgrades? ive considered swapping to FC brakes up front. but i recently decided not too. im open to all ...
