TECH: Corolla AE86 • Re: Rear steer
If you Google short track rear suspension systems, you see multi hole locations on both the chassis and axle for trailing arm adjustments. This aids wheel alignment for better turn-in, plus anti-squat for improved traction. Changing ride height effect both front and rear suspension, plus weight transfer.Statistics: Posted by davew7 — Wed Aug 07, 2024 […]

TECH: Corolla AE86 • Rear steer
No, not going mad!It occured to me that the rear axle has an element of rear steer due to link arm angles.lf the bottom link arms point down to the axle at ride height as the car corners and weight is transfered the out side rear spring compresses (the inside elongates) when the spring compresses […]

TECH: 4A-GE ENGINE • 4AGE Silvertop 20v MAF Meter adjustment
Good morning 4AG Family. Question, My current MAF Meter is working fine, but someone tried to move the screw to adjust the idling and I believe he messed the Air to Fuel ration calibration. Know he said he doesn’t remember if the screw was all the way down or halfway. He cannot remember how many […]

TECH: 4A-GE ENGINE • Re: Valve spring seats
Fair point about spring rotation.l think the best way to approach this is to replace the valve springs with some that will allow 10.5mm lift and will fit with the original bottom retainer.lncidently Catcams suggest the removal of the bottom spring retainer for their springs.Any ideas for springs to the above spec?ThanksStatistics: Posted by totta […]

TECH: Corolla AE86 • Having lighting issues and I'm stuck
My lights used to work just fine, but as of recently, my dash lights no longer work, but when I hit the brakes they come on and so do all my amber parking lights around the vehicle come on. I also don't have any breaklights. But when I hit the brake pedal, they went on […]
TECH: 4A-GE ENGINE • Re: Valve spring seats
First, do not run without the valve spring seat. The spring rotates while running and will wear away the alloy surface. If it was my head, I would take a Dremel tool with a sanding drum and open the bottom of the coil spring, just enough to fit over the seat. You MUST polish the […]

I have a couple of modified smallport cylinder heads, one came on an engine fully assembled and working.Not knowing any details about the head l decided to fit the springs and cams to another head that l had professionally modified.When l went to fit the springs (unknown make but probably CatCams) they were slightly too […]
