Sorry, my mistake in replying. When i took the exhaust off i took the oppurtunity to check all the heat shields, engine bay and underbody. Although they are slightly rusty ( as you would expect of a car this age ) all heat shields look okay. Will get the exhaust shop to check it out when it goes in next week.If not then i might borrow some car ramps off a friend and spend a day under there with a flashlight.

The heat shields look fine, nothing seems loose at all in the engine bay. Just gave everything exhaust related a quick tighten up ( excluding manifold to block bolts ). When i drive it the noise seems to come from the front half of the car. Bloody frustrating. Oh well i've just bought the ebay item anyways, my stock resonator is in pretty bad nick, would hurt to replace it anyway. Thanks for the help

Hi guys. Recently my beloved rolla has developed a nasty rattle that occurs around an indicated 3000rpm. Have taken the exhaust off from cat back and found that apart from it being really really loud ( of course i know no exhaust would do that ) the rattle seems to have vanished. After that i reconnected the exhaust except the rear muffler and i still had the rattle which makes me believe its the resonator. Having not much money ( uni student ) replacing the resonator with another stock one is out of the question. I've found a mild steel hotdog style muffler on ebay that i can get a friend to weld in. Other option is to get the resonator cut out completely, however i have done some research and found that any car is super raspy without a resonator. Would love to get info from other people from past experiences etc. Oh heres the ebay link for reference.http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/MILD-STEEL-HOTDOG-MUFFLER-12-LONG-2-DIAMETER-/160579870197?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item25634e5df5#ht_648wt_702

Hi all, just a quick question about wheel sizes. I have a 96 ae101r. Currently running standard steel wheels. Size is 175/70/r13. looking at getting new wheels, found a set on ebay - heres the link for reference http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330564827036&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:AU:1123 Am not sure if they will fit as offset is unknown. Would appreciate any help. Thanks.

Thanks for the info, pity though as it would have gone real well with my car...

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has experience with aftermarket darkened indicators in nsw. I have a 96 ae101r and am thinking about replacing the front indicators with black tinted ones. Trouble is i don't want to get done by the cops so i'm wondering if anyone has done the same or knows about the restrictions. thanks heres the ebay link for reference. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/TOYOTA-AE101-102-COROLLA-94-98-BAR-LIGHT-RH-NEW-/220659274881?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3360515481
