Bugger all! I think I bought it about $1200. Sold for the same. I was 19 I think so cutties, cut king springs haha. On bumps no fucks given. It had been privately imported for a guys mum who wanted a red celica (thinking of ra28/ta22) and he turned up with that. Poor woman mustve been disappointed. It was stolen and recovered in the early 90s so body stamp was missing but silver plate was still there. Ugly duckling but I can appreciate as long as it doesn't have maroon interior.

Yeah I had one a few years ago now, also had an Left hand drive RA40 Coupe which I parted out (rusty swedish import).

While we are comparing

If you look up the Toyota part number and do a reverse search the part number only suits M-EU engines: 11115-41040 Time for a 5 or 6MGE The 2M one is 11115-41012 That's a direct supersession so likely will be ok if you found one. I don't know if that's going to make it any easier. I've found pics of the gasket and they have oddly shaped combustion chamber holes vs. the 4M gasket.

There was a mint condition yellow one of these in the deceased estate I got my Sachs rotary from. One of the grand children ended up with it, they are very cool scooters!

If there are labels but only in japanese, download the google translate app on your phone. It gives you a translation from a photo.

Yeah I thought it odd that it only does it on decel and realistically its not that loud. I can't feel it through the shifter or the floor. I am not unwilling to accept it might not be the gearbox at all

Noted. The interesting thing is that the sound starts and stops like a switch is being flicked it doesn't taper off. I might see how my phone picks up the noise and if ok ill post a vid.

Just ask repco to multisite a bottle up the slack cunts. Or get them to tell you which branch, call and pay via credit card and have them courier it to you. Fucking slack cunts at repco make the good ones look so bad

Ha yeah this seems pretty decent, German built. I gave the engine mounts a test with a bar and they seem ok. They flex but return to rest nicely. I might have another look at work on the lifters

Yeah I've had that thought, we also have b train length lifters at work. Just tried removing engine cover as it was apparent it had been touching but no dice.

Yeah externally everything appears in order. The guibo or rubber donut is fine. I don't think these are subject to much stress in the 316. After another drive today I have a suspicion it could be due to engine twisting over under decel causing the motor to touch something ever so slightly. The engine is half under the firewall so plenty of chances to nip something.

Hey not os but I believe the trans in my e46 316ti is the same as e30's and stuff. Manual getrag 5 speed. Everything works great shifts well etc. Problem its having though is in each gear there is a certain rev range on deceleration where a very noticeable grumble/whine comes from under the car. It sounds like front of the gearbox but the position of the box under the car vs the driver position its hard to say. The most noticeable time is decelerating in 5th any speed over 92kmh. Any application of throttle or going below that speed the noise goes away completely. It will do it in 4th 3rd and 2nd too but in more specific speed vs rev ranges. Not a peep during standard day to day driving. I am thinking input shaft bearing but not so certain. I jumped underneath and made sure its not mounts or driveshaft touching under movement. These cars have a foil heatshield and it appears that had been touching a bit at the diff end of ds but not the cause of my house. Help

Jeepers this thing was scary at 60 something, must've been screaming to hit 93k

Does your C52 have starter "ears" on both sides of the bellhousing? Most of my aw11's had a C52 in them and they were magic, even with a 7agte leaning on it. If it's a fwd box, there's detailed info on how to adapt the shifter to reverse direction to suit on the net.

I'm not sure for brake dust but if tar/bitumen is present on wheels or around the bottom of your car, toluene is the bees knees.

I remember that being a thing in high school with a friends ke70. That was some time ago now...

Fuel pump and associated relay test ok? Oh and do a skid.

I think there's a mini track thing just as you come into wainuiomata if you're feeling brave.

These are cool, have you tried using the google translate on a smartphone? You can take a pic of the text, tell it you want russian to english and it should crank out a reasonable translation

I''m honestly not sure if they have a pit or hoist facilities at all but maybe worth asking Seaview Truckwash Services.

Solid effort, we did the same recently and compared then and now photos. Yours are much more impressive! It certainly provides good feelings and motivation.

All g wit me.

We can go after hours if you are gonna be cracking away after work.

How close are you to cableprice? We have a steam cleaner
