So first of all, I am running a rwd setup. However, my crankshaft pulley is from a fwd motor (my original rwd one got damaged) which should be ok to my understanding because the alternator and water pump pulleys line up with it; AC and power steering are another story but I'm not using either so it ...

Jus an update.. so I ended up picking up a 2nd gen. 4age + tranny cuz my t50 was going out anyways. Motor needs a new head gasket but that's fairly easy on these old gems. My old motor will have to be put on hold for now.. Making for sure I do things right this time! Wish me luck & thanks again ...

Ok so I was driving up the local touge (lol) and long story short, my timing belt jumped. I'm assuming it's cus the crankshaft bolt wasn't correctly torqued and so on. Anyways, I took everything apart to reset the timing and found that my sprocket, harmonic balancer, key, and where the key sits in i...

I ran into this problem too, and it ended up being my temp sender switch. I got a cheap one at autozone and my temp gauge needle was all over the place. Got an oem temp sender switch afterwards and no more problems.
You really do get what you pay for. Lol

Oooh ok that makes sense lol. So just to be clear, an easy & lucky fix would be just finding another bolt to which I can fully torque, while, worst case scenario, I might have to take the motor to a shop to retap it properly so I can use an oem bolt if the other case doesn't work out? Thx a lot ...

Recently did an engine overhaul on my 4age bluetop. Long story short, while reassembling, we stripped the threads inside where the crankshaft bolt goes.. Ended up having to retap and use a different bolt. This other bolt however, can only tighten so far before turning pointlessly (I know). Anyway, I...

Hello fellows. So when i'm driving and let off the gas, say if i'm in third or fourth gear, I hear a noise coming from the rear axle. Also when i replaced the diff lubricant a few months ago, there was a decent amount of metal shavings that I found inside the drain plug. anyways, my brother and I we...

Damn i was delayed but finally got around to it... i was low on money so i ended up only buying flexible primer from SnM as the base and i sprayed it with regular paint.. The paint for the plastic bumper ran $30 a bottle at the paint shop i went to and primer was $20, and im pretty much broke rn. lo...

Hey guys i have a silver ae86 and the both the front and rear bumpers are faded. Not sure what it's made of so i was wondering how you guys would go about refurbishing to make it paint-ready? I was thinking of sanding it down lightly, primer, then bumper paint. below are links to photos of how it cu...

running 195/60r14 sized tires on my hatch. konig rewinds 14x7 offset -9. stock suspension. recently took out the plastic covering in my fenders, cut out the metal piece in there (behind the wheel), and even hammered the inside of it to prevent rubbing. my alignment/caster may be off a little cuz it ...

hello. i've recently inherited an 85 corolla gts from my brother. currently in high school so i'm on a budget, and i'm fairly new at this stuff. i've been looking to do some work on it as nothing has been done to it yet, and i'm starting with the suspension. i'm looking for some springs/shocks that ...
