I don't know how many people you'll find who have the equipment + spare time who will do this for a little bit of cash and a carton, there's quite a bit of labour involved. Make friends with your local mechanic, IMO.

I got quoted $650 for a exedy HD clutch supplied and fitted. Just ring around and I'm sure you can find a good deal.

Where abouts in sydney? i got a good price for the clutch but everyone is charging like 600-700 for labour alone..

hmmm thats a wicked price i wonder dont you have to drop the subframe to do the clutch on these though?

i spose it all depends on that and if it can be changed without totally removing the box i did a camry yesterday i just pushed the box to the side

did you want the flywheel off cause i rekon i could do it if you just wanted an out and in clutch swap provided the flywheel stays bolted to the motor.

have you got a clutch to put in?

The subframe doesn't have to come out in ZZE corolla's when doing a clutch change. Toyota notched the subframe so the diff housing clears.

Suprathai $650 sounds ridiculously cheap to supply and fit a clutch. If you got a written quote take that offer up!! RRP on exceedy H/D is about $680 depending on where you shop. I can get them for about $550. Standard replacement clutch kits are $585. So for $650 fitted someone ain't making a hell of a lot of money!!

You must machine the flywheel when you fit a new clutch or risk having clutch shudder for the rest of it's life.

Ring up places that do clutches, don't go to your local mechanic. Unless your really friendly with your local mech, he will charge you close to the grand.

I called up a local place near my work, its at South Windsor, think its called hi-tech clutch and brakes. The wanted $550 for a standard clutch supplied and fitted and a Exedy HD ended up being only $100 more. He said it only takes about 3-4 hours.

Wohoo!! I am over the thousand now, dunno if I should be sad or happy. lol

Should get the 2zzge flywheel that YDOIT4 is selling. New clutch and flywheel for 1K fitted WOOT!

If they can do it under 3 hours, they are doing pretty dam well. its not that hard, just annoying to do. Hardest part is getting the rear mount out. Jason is right, you dont need to remove the cross member, but it helps if you loosen the bolts and drop it down a tad, makes it heaps easier.

As the other guys said, thats a good price...i'll take note about the flywheel...i'll make sure to get that machined...

I rang around places and i got quoted $220 for a HD Exedy clutch kit...good price eyy....

I'll get the clutch done my a mechanic...i guess i'll hunt around and see who gives a good price...

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      Tow bar

      Hi guys, Just bought my new Landcruiser Prado yesterday. What is the difference between Onroad Towner and Off road Towbar

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb
