2sik25 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 So much pine...... I've always wanted one of these but never managed to procure one, would I be a cunt if I said the only thing that bothers me is the visible wheel weights? Otherwise it is a fine looking automobile, racks and all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One day I'll refurbish the wheels and move the weights, it's not a huge deal right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0R10N Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 HAH, not even! It hasn't been reposted on eleventy million blogs and I don't have Speedstanceworks all up in my grille asking for my life story or tips on how I got to be yolo swaggins. It's an odd sign of the times when something that was once as mundane and ugly as a roof rack is suddenly considered a fashion accessory. What if I just want to take my snowboard up to the mountain once in a while? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myk00l Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 So a few years ago someone beat me to these hideously rare factory AW11 roof racks which were attached to a wreck at Pick a Part. Sorry, that was me. Avondale Pick a Part. Paid something ridiculous like $12. Sold to workmate for $100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dell'orto Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 So much pine...... I've always wanted one of these but never managed to procure one Have I got the deal for you... Ed,got any pics of how this mounts on the inside of the C pillar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0R10N Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 No pics, but just the factory metal tabs with threaded bolt holes, which is what the large philips head fasteners on the C-pillar trims attach to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dell'orto Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Ah sweet - was just trying to work out how it actually held in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0R10N Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 Yeah I wasn't going to pull off the C-pillar trims, they're brittle enough as it is (and good luck ever finding new ones). You'd have to be careful as a lot of them rust in behind there and the metal tabs all disintegrate. Planning not to leave the racks on long-term, or at least pull them off and grease up the fasteners every so often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dafuq is this though? http://www.marumin.com/stock/detail.php?r_corp=78&r_shop=78&r_car=3682014&page_n=1 Something horrendous, haha. Yeah if you squint you can make out all the lovely YN80 Toyota Hilux features (like the gross 3Y-E, dashboard, and doors...) But in typical Japanese fashion some nutter will come along and buy it eventually. I like the SB1 Civic RS they have. So spendy though.

Dell'orto Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Yeah picked the 3Y straight away, couldn't pick the dash cluster though! I foamed a little at the BG GTR they have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Kelly barr Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Yeah you can run SW ones, their 18-19mm from memory?? The manual SC AW ones are 12 or 13 mm from memory and the auto SC AW ones are 14mm I would think 30mm would be way over kill. So people think sw20 ones in the rear are over kill. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought 11mm = N/A, 14mm = SC and it didn't matter if they were auto or manual. The rear swaybar I got from Nick is an 11mm one off his old pre-facelift manual N/A. Even more confusing is whether Toyota made the swaybars optional after changing the suspension for facelift models, or if they "ran out of stock" like people on forums will tell you. I should have a closer look in the catalogues but it seems strange/unprofessional that if you bought an AW11 brand new after August 1986 it would be some sort of lottery whether you got a rear swaybar or not. I found a photo of my car on the Internet: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
