I was going to get these but started fiddling with weber (and now searching for 3.5 psi fuel pressure regulator)

Re: Australian sales brochure

I believe you for sure. It is clear the marketing is for the Tercel. I think i was vague in mentioning there was a time when the Carib was imported as a complete vehicle, but that was when the local assembly plant wasn't putting together the 'complete knock down' kits from Japan. There was a big dea...

Re: Stolen: 1985 t4wd green/dark green Portland Oregon

Or even a 'new' bottom end conversion like a 4afe from a Chevy Nova / Toyo Corolla and put a 4ac head on it (retain carb, SOHC, ultra simple)

Re: Stolen: 1985 t4wd green/dark green Portland Oregon

Thats so sad, how many theft posts have been on here over the years! I had a Mitsubishi 4x4 that was attempted stolen then burnt righ outside my house one night, I still havent recovered from that shock... Maybe turn it into a good thing, surely with all the 4ac powered Tercs around there will be a ...

Re: Australian sales brochure

Im certain it was never marketed in NZ, they would have just imported the JDM 'AL25 Sprinter Carib AV-11'
NZ had heaps of great JDM imports that Aus never got.

Re: New Head Gasket Time

So to male it clear do you still have a 3A bottom end or a 4A bottom end? have you surgically cleaned the head bolt threads holes out? including cleaning the bolts? Ive borked a two separate engine jobs by not doing this, the old torque wrench was out of calibration too (it read under the correct re...

Re: Fuel Pump Failure

I thought of going electric too, I just dont want some noisey low pressure zinger that makes a racket like if seen in previous carb fed projects.

Re: Fuel Pump Failure

My pump is leaking and I am here to check if its rebuildable or should I just replace it? I have a 1984 (early) version. (medium-spec SR5 without A/C and steel rims instead of alloys etc) I will be installing another engine in the future and was hoping the new fuel pump will be fine to feed a 4AC we...

Re: 2nd Gen 4A-FE Swap

Definitely a tricky issue with ITB's Im very keen to see what you end up with! Even if the appropriate part is expensive it would be better to go with a 100% proven solution. The bosch unit is solid, if you can set it up correctly! I have seen adaptors to suit ford style IACV, the 2JZ crew do it a b...

Re: When should I replace shock Spring Coils ?

Just a few items Im looking at on ebay currently: So many re-sellers buying these parts and adding ridiculous mark-ups.... I'd imagine Webco shocks are for budget conscious home mechanics, perhaps a good torture test will document how they last after a while. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Lovells-Toyo...
