  1. today took out the engine and gearbox

    and it only took me two hours

    doing the clutch and timing belt while the motor is out

    dam easy car to work on so far

    now it needs engine mounts

    Repco dont have a listing for the front engine mount

    they have one for the rear

    can anyone clue me in on the front mount where to find one ?

    what i normally do is get the part number from AutoOne, then if they dont have it in stock go to repco/supercheap and magically find the same part..

    anyways check the below link to some partnumbers for enginemounts for 4A ae82's

  2. last rear driver wagon was probably late 70'-mid 80's not sure of the model code but they had a similar front end as the KE70

    you could always get an ugly 4wd corolla wagon that was the AE95

    i admit to having thoughts of puting my turbo 4AG into a 4WD corolla wagon but finding bolt in drive line to handle the power i suppose the celica gt would fit but with how much moding

    yeah ae71/ke70 wagons or all rwd corollas where last made in 1985

    assuming ur somewhere in Aus, on tradingpost/wreckers expect pay $500+ if u find one on internet forums or ebay $1000+

    modding suspension would be expensive, have u thought about those similar looking subaru L series 4x4 (Leone) wagons?

    as for the ae95, i dont find them that ugly :( well my old one anyways

    amd older 3sfe rav4 would be a better option for a 3sgte convo... has been done almost as good as the mitsubishi rvr's

  3. id use ra40 tie rods and tie rod ends (outer) ($8ea at pick a part, $15ea new)

    Cressida mx50 (early early 80's) lca ($25ea at pick a part)

    front s13 coilovers ($300-800 2nd hand)

    front ca18 hubs and brakes ($50-200, sr20det brakes for huge upgrade)

    on car adjustable castor arm ($200ish new off ebay or from japan)

    ae86 strut tops (like the adj camber cusco ones, around $300new)
