You want a crossmember from a RT132 or RT133 Corona sedan or liftback. As already said you can probably use your original gearbox crossmember if you still have it, depends if your car originally had a W40 or a T40, as TT132 came with both options depending on the spec level.

Was a guy down here wrecked a RT132 not long ago, he may still have some bits, think his username is 'Rob'

Look here

I think it may be for euro spec AE86, but a lot of info is still applicable

Can take them apart at work tomorrow night. Will cost you a box of Steinlager.

Like this one?

Always used to see a white one driving round CHCH, but have not seen for a couple of years now.

Yeah that was me, used the door cards for my TT132 Wagon

Anyone else got a stout? Or at least know of one? Some guy at the 4 n rota's said a mate of his was building one with a uz. Pukekohe somewhere apparently.

Cheers

Only other Stout I have seen is a Yellow one that was listed on Trademe for awhile, think it was in North Canterbury, also owner said he had access to another one for spare parts.

My RT94 Corona Hardtop, guys on JNC reckon these things are somewhat rare. I know there's still a good amount of them over here in various conditions

I'll take the GL Bumpers if you want to sell them off

Nah I sold it to a kid in Blenheim, he blew the K50 after about 2 weeks, then had it off the road for ages doing rust repair & W55 swap.

Never screwed the sideskirts on, was going to fit them properly after they were painted, but sold it before I ever got around to it

Nah different car, D1 mule had a similar Notch but used a lot of the parts for his AE70, not sure where body eventually ended up

Mean car, used to own it a few years back, bodykit was my brothers idea, never liked it really

Pic before kit fitment

Give these guys a try http://www.monacocorp.co.nz/

I think from memory they carry a reasonable amount of Pioneer spares

Car was spotted this morning, being driven around, still in one piece, wheels and all.

Was on Memorial Ave & turned into Greers Rd, Burnside

Wreckers have been informed, & a few off the usual suspects have been spoken too

Hey guys, my workmate had his Starlet stolen overnight.

1981 Toyota Starlet OM2562

Jap Import 4 Door

Very Straight Tidy body, Newish White Paint with Blue Pinstripe down each site.

Distinctive 13 Inch Bridestone Zona wheels, Gold with polished lips & chrome centre caps.

Nolathane Bushes all through Rear end.

Bright Pink CD Player

Any help or info appreciated

Thanks

Rob

Try Driven Performance for wheel spacers, they list 15mm with 12x1.5 pitch studs http://www.drivenperformance.co.nz/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=754

They're welded 3 Piece, easy enough to split them

Yeah it's BS, i've had a few sets of Playz turn up on Imported wheels, never had any problems getting WOF with them.

Yeah not so sure on the slotting idea either.

Are you going to knock out the steel inserts around the stud holes & then run shank & washer nuts?

Cool 4x110 wheels are hard to find in NZ, why don't you sell them to someone with a RX or KE20. Not like you're going to lose money on the deal

I too have a question...

Say I had my vehicle lowered. I take it in to get certed and it passes. A measurement is recorded from centre of hub to top of guard and stamped on the plate.

My question is, if I had (for arguments sake) 18" wheels on at the time of cert (which also gets stamped on the plate) and the vehicle was above 100mm, what happens if I decide to go to 13" wheels that brings the car lower then 100mm?

Basically a re-cert for the wheels?

Technically speaking you need to re-cert the vehicle for a change in wheel sizes. Certifier needs to assess that change in wheel size will not have detrimental effect on handling, braking or clearance to body or suspension components. Some certifiers will do these checks for a reduced charge for wheel change only, plus the cost of a Cert Plate Reprint.

It is also possible to have a vehicle certified for more than one wheel size, road wheels & drag wheels for example. That would need discussing with your certifier of choice

Man those really are nice cars...

Few on yahoo japan, it's a shame there so hard to import.

How so? Incredibly easy to import, same as any other pre 89 car.

in need of a quick answer...

i dont have much time at the moment to read all this...

ive been offered a sweet little project but its deregd..

its a 72 datto..

what do i need to do to get it on the rd and what will it cost?

oh and do you get a cert before or after?

cheers

Take it through for the Re-Vin process first, they will assign your vehicle with a Vin number, Pass or Fail.

They will then proceed to fail your car on needing Modifications Certified.

Then you can take the car for a cert. Your cert plate needs to have a Vin number aligned with it, not neccessarily a Rego number.

Once you have the cert plate you can finish the Re-Vin Inspection process & apply for registration.

AE85 or AE70 is A series K50, all the internals are interchangable with K series K50. When i destroyed 2nd in one of my AE85s, i scored a freebie K40 from KP60 & swapped the damaged bits over

So did this transform your K50 into a 4 speed or were you able to retain 5th? I've heard elsewhere you could rebuild A-series K40/50's with parts from K-series ones, it's nice to have this confirmed

No K50 was still a K50, I just removed the damaged 2nd gear off the mainshaft the K50 & replaced with the gear from the K40. Was pretty simple really

There was a wrecker down Oamaru, Autoland Dismantlers, they had a couple of RT84's. Could be worth a look for parts, altough it was a couple of years ago that I was last there.

Seems like the 6R is one of the harder to find motors around, I didn't have much luck when i was looking for a spare, turned up plenty of 12R bits

Looks very similar to the Red on my old Carina,
