More photos before it's stripped - just for reference. I find trawling through historic build logs really fun over the years to see how far you come I sent mum out to take photos. combined with someone who can't DSLR, and one who can press a few buttons on Lightroom. we come back with this. _MG_1118 by phillipbaines, on Flickr _MG_1086 by phillipbaines, on Flickr _MG_1092 by phillipbaines, on Flickr _MG_1094 by phillipbaines, on Flickr _MG_1099 by phillipbaines, on Flickr _MG_1100 by phillipbaines, on Flickr _MG_1102 by phillipbaines, on Flickr _MG_1104 by phillipbaines, on Flickr _MG_1106 by phillipbaines, on Flickr _MG_1111 by phillipbaines, on Flickr _MG_1113 by phillipbaines, on Flickr _MG_1122 by phillipbaines, on Flickr _MG_1127 by phillipbaines, on Flickr _MG_1129 by phillipbaines, on Flickr _MG_1131 by phillipbaines, on Flickr _MG_1133 by phillipbaines, on Flickr _MG_1171 by phillipbaines, on Flickr Getting picked up this weekend to be stripped. Car will be entirely media blasted to bare metal Car will be off for full panel work resto in July. Will see what the blasting yields!

Car has been delivered! Currently organising it to be stripped and off to panel/paint/repair cert so hopefully have some updates in the coming few months.

Replaced oil pump with other unit I have with the SQ Engineering additional relief valve spring setup to bump up the pressure, we seem to be good! If that still doesn't give me good pressure at all times i'll flick the cam caps off and have a measure up New Speedo drive is in so I've now got a work speedo Think that's it really, time for cert? Bumper is back and looking absolutely insane if you compare to what it was previously!

Back in the country means back in to work on the ol' 86. Firstly, the time has come to get the front bumper repaired. So, off it came and off it went. The plan is just to make it structurally sound again, I think there are too many hairline cracks to warrant a full resto on it. If it's structurally sound and painted, i'm a happy man. The bro's cracked in to it! When i've previously removed the dash, i found it not possible to take out the dash clock surround without breaking it into 30 pieces. This has been an eye sore for years and luckily toyota still make them new Next was to install the JSP coolant overflow/oil catch can combo unit. 10x better than the previous solution. I will hook it back up to breathing back to the engine, I just need to acquire a -10 120 Degree fitting so that it can point down to the ground a bit more as using a 90 degree will make it hit the bonnet Turbo water lines installed. I need to order another -6 90 degree bend fitting as I didn't order enough, luckily I had a -4 premade hose sitting about which works fine, but it's 90 Degree to straight end hence the U bend to where it connects to the back of the head. This will be resolved shortly! Tidied up the NASA heat shield for the overflow bottle, I will get a beanie at some point for the turbo but hopefully this is sufficient for the interim. I've also misplaced some U Channel moulding I was going to install around the folded edge of it so that it wouldn't be possible to cut into the rubber line to the windscreen jets. it'll turn up.. Clean! Gave the interior a clean, still need to address the small rip on the drivers side seat.. I've always wondered where the handbrake light loom was situated in the car, I assumed that it was just that I was missing the wires and it never had them. Turned out in my spares box I had the spare loom, plugged it in and we now have a light. something that isn't that helpful just good small win For 10 years i've put up with using a wooden stick to hold the hatch up. FLOS.ie have new gas struts so in they went. much satisfaction TODO: - Replace oil pump. I'm having lower oil pressure at higher RPM's than I'd like (with a rebuilt bottom end), so i've got a spare oil pump which has the SQEngineering pressure up spring unit to hopefully address that. If that doesn't resolve the issue i'll be getting plasti gage out to measure the cam cap tolerances as I can't think where else I would be losing pressure the way that it is. - Recheck pinion angle since the 15" rims and slight height differences to bring back to 1.5 degrees both sides - Pull out gearbox to replace the output shaft speedometer worm drive. The plastic gear for on the speedo output is stripped, and without knowing what the worm drive it suits, better to pull it apart and replace it with the correct stuff which I now have. - Maybe try cert?

Pics from the port in Kobe! All looks good, appears that the owner that flipped the car put new tyres on it which is a bonus. Due to leave Japan this week Two gremlins to note: - Car looks to be started up in the images as rev gauge shows 1500 rpm however the charge light is on.. - From photos I've just noticed that the chassis plate is also not in the engine bay. I hope this isn't an issue come VIN time, hopefully the TE27-XXXXX stamp on the firewall is ok on its own?

The last few months I've been looking through the USS Auctions in Japan, bid on a few TE27's. Funnily enough, I bid on one particular TE27 in October. Lost it to someone. The buyer must have been doing a buy and sell flip for some quick money as it came back up for auction the following weeks but with the reserve higher so I wasn't successful. Come the new year, they dropped down their reserve and I was able to nab it for a reasonable cost! The plan is to swap all of the good stuff out of the KE25 I have to it, and flick the KE25 off. If you're looking to purchase the KE25 project below get in touch. https://oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/52400-pbaines-1971-toyota-corolla-ke25/ Photos from inspection. - Interior is average which is perfect because I have a great interior in my KE25 to get goods from - Underside has some rust, especially in the sills. But for a car this age, can you really be surprised? No stress to be honest. the rest of the car looks like a great base for a resto. More to come at a later date. 20231116_121909_copy_2000x1126 by phillipbaines, on Flickr 20231116_122016_copy_2000x1126 by phillipbaines, on Flickr 20231116_122315_copy_2000x1126 by phillipbaines, on Flickr 20231116_122314_copy_2000x1126 by phillipbaines, on Flickr 20231116_122304_copy_2000x1126 by phillipbaines, on Flickr 20231116_122300_copy_2000x1126 by phillipbaines, on Flickr 20231116_121947_copy_2000x1126 by phillipbaines, on Flickr 20231116_121940_copy_2000x1126 by phillipbaines, on Flickr 20231116_121939_copy_2000x1126 by phillipbaines, on Flickr 20231116_121912_copy_2000x1126 by phillipbaines, on Flickr 20231116_121910_copy_2000x1126 by phillipbaines, on Flickr 20231116_122104_copy_2000x1126 by phillipbaines, on Flickr 20231116_122103_copy_2000x1126 by phillipbaines, on Flickr 20231116_122100_copy_2000x1126 by phillipbaines, on Flickr 20231116_122057_copy_2000x1126 by phillipbaines, on Flickr 20231116_122046_copy_2000x1126 by phillipbaines, on Flickr 20231116_122029(0)_copy_2000x1126 by phillipbaines, on Flickr 20231116_122028_copy_2000x1126 by phillipbaines, on Flickr 20231116_122025_copy_2000x1126 by phillipbaines, on Flickr 20231116_122007_copy_2000x1126 by phillipbaines, on Flickr 20231116_122256_copy_2000x1126 by phillipbaines, on Flickr 20231116_122254_copy_2000x1126 by phillipbaines, on Flickr 20231116_122143_copy_2000x1126 by phillipbaines, on Flickr 20231116_122139_copy_2000x1126 by phillipbaines, on Flickr 20231116_122129_copy_2000x1126 by phillipbaines, on Flickr 20231116_122126_copy_2000x1126 by phillipbaines, on Flickr 20231116_122123_copy_2000x1126 by phillipbaines, on Flickr 20231116_122122_copy_2000x1126 by phillipbaines, on Flickr 20231116_122121_copy_2000x1126 by phillipbaines, on Flickr 20231116_122106_copy_2000x1126 by phillipbaines, on Flickr 20231116_122105_copy_2000x1126 by phillipbaines, on Flickr 20231116_122326_copy_2000x1126 by phillipbaines, on Flickr 20231116_122321_copy_2000x1126 by phillipbaines, on Flickr Discussion thread:

Discussion thread for all things TE27. Build thread: https://oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/88987-pbaines-1973-te27-sprinter-trueno/

Hey man! It is from flos.ie, there will be a toyota oem new option but the guys at flos.ie have done the groundwork https://flos.ie/shop/brake-booster-ae86/?v=3e8d115eb4b3

Apologies for the delayed response I missed seeing this drop into my inbox! The brake schematic does show two separate hard-lines to the rear, the proportioning valve has 2 outputs for this and if I were to use this valve I would follow the same plumbing as outlined with the schematics diagram as it would have been in the Celica that way. To be able to achieve this, you'd only need to bend up a bracket or go and cut one off of a car at pick-a-part and have that stitched onto the chassis so that it supports 2 flexi lines instead of the one where the one is stitched onto the chassis at the rear already. But, I'm impulsive and a few days later after purchasing the prop valve i've gone with the adjustable willwood prop valve. I figured that it would be better to be able to tune things properly and have it set correctly from the get-go. It will also clean up the dual line to the rear (not that that was something I thought would have been too difficult to resolve! https://stealthride.co.nz/products/wb260-13190

Black Friday was a busy day for purchases, most have arrived. Returning back from Canada in February for a month and will probably take a day just to sift through all the boxes of goods.

Thanks! The ST2 uses a 15/16 master, and yup will be going with a twinpot willwood dynapro front, and factory AE86 rear single pot for the rears. It'll be a trial and error sort of scenario.

It's been 6 measly years. Progress has been slow. I prioritised the AE86 for a few years which is now a rocket so time to get back in to this. I've also moved to Canada but will be back in a few years, nice to collect parts until then. The rust is probably what terrifies me the most, lots to do. Lots to pay for. As i've been going for a KE20 Sprinter, more than a TE27 Sprinter, the parts are a little different. For e.g The guards I have are KE20 Sprinter, not TE27 sprinter hence the lack of stock fender flares. The lower trim which runs from the fender to the rear quarter is 2x as thick as the normal corolla ones (only came on the KE25 Sprinter). I managed to track down a full set of these trims and probably paid something stoopid but in the 6 years i've been collecting additional parts I've only come across these particular trims this one time The TE2X Sedan and Coupe have different grills, i've got a NOS sedan TE20 Grill as well as the TE27 Coupe one however am still unsure which i'll run Anyway, some photos: 10/10 center wood grain dash unit with functional radio center by phillipbaines, on Flickr 10/10 Center console console by phillipbaines, on Flickr Some center console additional pieces - I have no idea where they go but hopefully is easy to work out once assembly time comes console by phillipbaines, on Flickr NOS TE20 Sedan grill - Again, unsure if i'll run this. the TE27 one does look better grill by phillipbaines, on Flickr Non rusted out TE2X grill support panel grill_2 by phillipbaines, on Flickr TE27 right light, as well as the Sprinter center trim between lights (can't find a pic but it's in the hoard somewhere) light by phillipbaines, on Flickr TE27 LCA's and knuckles to allow bolt on AE86 struts 20231114_120517 by phillipbaines, on Flickr A badge I thought was cool - SL, 5 speed, 1600 boot_badge by phillipbaines, on Flickr a pair of fender mirrors. 368365377_305562675646217_4171977721123825346_n by phillipbaines, on Flickr These were just cool. they may or may not be fitted to the coupe mud_flaps by phillipbaines, on Flickr A sprinter steering wheel center horn button to replace the corolla one horn by phillipbaines, on Flickr For the fuel upgrade i've found a retrofit drop in setup, which allows for 16" deep fuel tanks and luckily enough the KE25 fuel tank is there or there abouts, atleast deep enough for this to work. Here's an install vid if anyone is interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-ZrisobLYs And if you want to purchase one, here's a link too: https://fitechefi.com/product/50014-go-fuel-in-tank-fuel-pump-600-hp-module/ fuel_pump by phillipbaines, on Flickr Because the T50 from an AE86 uses a rear position shifter, it won't be correct once installed to work nicely with the center console. I've purchased a forward position T50 to steal the insides out of, and hopefully swap bits over to make the AE86 T50 accept the forward position shifter (fyi not using this forward position one because it's seized. only got it for the shifting components) T50 by phillipbaines, on Flickr Brake time. Acquired a TE27 pedal box which has the additional hydraulic clutch mount so all nice and easy pedal_box by phillipbaines, on Flickr After some research bolt in upgrade parts were available. small AE86 booster booster by phillipbaines, on Flickr Rip the ST205 WRC GT4 Celica master cylinder off this, slap it on above booster master by phillipbaines, on Flickr Use proportioning valve from ST202 celica suitable for twin pot front brakes, single pot rear breaks prop_valve by phillipbaines, on Flickr And it should look something like this 252170_4708_0002 by phillipbaines, on Flickr Discussion:

Not been able to do too much on this over the last wee while. I do still really need to get the bumper fixed and repainted. It really throws off the look off the car and make it looks a bit rougher than it is! Something that was still bothering me was the clutch slip at 20psi... I had a mate ask me if he knew of anyone looking for a tilton twin plate clutch setup (less discs) so I thought, bugger it. Me! Acquired some springless clutch centers from Barry Manon at MRP. This car won't see much town driving, it's meant to be a fun car so know that a clutch with no springs is not fun. Anyway, the setup looks similar to this: clutch by phillipbaines, on Flickr I had a weekend with nothing on and woke up and felt like removing the W55 from the AE86 would be a good idea. I'd mentally prepared myself for a frustrating day which is exactly what I had but it all went well in the end! new flywheel installed 20230205_123632 by phillipbaines, on Flickr I'm a numpty and didn't take a proper after photo (probably due to the amount of fun I wasn't having) so here's one of me checking that the spline is aligned between the clutches properly. The first time I tried I didn't get success so it had to all come off and go back on. Anyway, that was done. hooray. 20230205_132927 by phillipbaines, on Flickr I've also grown up since I was 21. 7 years later i've come to the realisation that low boy life, is not fun. It's annoying. I don't like going sideways over speed humps, and I don't like losing exhaust v-bands on 100km'h roads 15 minutes in to a journey. So i got a pair of 15 x 8's (something like -25 for the rear, +10 ish for the front. can't remember) paired with a set of Nankang AR1's. I had this thing at Manfield for a bit of a bash a few months ago, the Toyo T1R's were definitely not up to the task of keeping rubber in tact coming out of the corners leaving me pretty unconfident to push it too much So, tyres/wheels on. Ride height increased by 10mm 20230206_132902 by phillipbaines, on Flickr 20230206_132918 by phillipbaines, on Flickr 20230204_174851 by phillipbaines, on Flickr So, done for now. Took it for a drive. adjusted the clutch pedal, clutch is actually fine to use and didn't find it too terrible. Just need to downshift on gears which is easy enough! TODO (more for me to remember): - Adjust pinion angle - Acquire adjustable lower arms for diff - Fix bumper - One day: Find some 15 x 8 long champs in perfect offset. This is a low priority but they just look so lush on longchamps Discuss:

Perfect. No resister needed, bang straight into the ecu (add a 10amp fuse) to the fuel injector 12v wire for safety and bobs your uncle. Depending on how your loom works those early ECU's have a 'safety' relay which powers the injector positive side. Just switch the source to the black/red line for that (which is the power side of the EFI relay, goes to Fuel Pump relay, Coil and ECU) if you have any issues instead of having the unnecessary other odd relay they use, switch it over.

Have a look through your list and confirm what ECU you have http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/archive/index.php/t-37785.html Here's a list of the 4A-GE injectors too with resistance checks etc http://www.rollaclub.com/wiki/index.php?title=Tech:Engine/A_Series/Injectors Happy to help you with any q's on what works with what
