It's a bit of a drive to WA haha.

I know a heap of people don't like them but i want to know exactly why. Is the Lift useless in the auto, Is the rev range compromised and are they reliable if occasionally driven hard? Also did they really use the same box as a corona? waaaah.SEE below wiki info i found. A241E 4 Speed Automatic Transaxle Applications: 1990-2005 Celica GTS 1988-1989 MR2 S/C 1990-1999 MR2 2.2l 1996-1997 RAV 4 1992-1998 CORONA 1998-2000 Avensis

Well that exceeded my expectation. I will cut it back and polish it in a week or two but overall its made a tired looking car great again.

Its all good i am part of many forums being the guitar building master i am hehe ''well'' i know how they roll. It was a fishing comment. nothing more.

Cool Thread! My Uncle started willow bank dragway. The quarter mile is even named after him. Dennis Syrmis was his name, He had the first gas rolla into ten seconds.

I can see a lot of you a really interested in this. HA! **** it i will finish the thread now i started it. For the record i had the colour matched in acrylic lacquer, The match wasn't 100% perfect but it will be better than a dermatitis bonnet, ding and roof.. Bonnet and Guard are painted and have one coat of clear on them. Next i will oil it back with kero and apply another few coats and call it done.

its nice looking. love those treads. I wasn't overly harsh on mine. even when it ****** out it was just driving out of Woolworths car park. Who knows what the previous owner did. Mine wasnt the gears that ****** out but rather the diff. Who knows but its costly when it does happen.

I have a question, How the **** do you keep your transmission from exploding?

Another way to get it to go in reverse easier is to just back off the clutch a fraction as you put it in reverse. Worked a treat on the sportivo.

I stepped down from the sportivo to this auto jap one. And to be honest i like this one almost as much. It handles a treat, the power isnt amazing and especially so being an auto but if you use the gears it can move good enough. The handbrake is by far the best feature and a full credit to touyota for putting it in the right spot ''unlike my camry''. i can slide ''Ruby'' right into my carport no worries.

Thought i would share my current efforts on making my new/old rolla look a little better. Has low kms but the price was good because of the paint and dings. It's never going to be perfect but it will look a little more tidy, It had really bad paint peeling on the bonnet and roof. Before After. Not perfect but i will be the only one who will notice. Next week maybe some paint.

Well i should just get my cat to ***** in there. I will have to think about something like that for the long term. I heard mothballs can help too. I just want to know how they get in to the thing.

When the rats were in the blower motor it would have been like one of those spinning gravitron rides. I can just imagine all their little faces pinned to the walls as it goes around. HA.

The wife mostly drives it so i don't know. It shouldn't happen either way but i actually told her earlier to leave it closed. I looked over the cowl today but it's so tight and very intact i ruled it out as a possible cause. I am beginning to think maybe they come in through the bottom of the car or around the boot?

My mum gave me this car about 6 years ago and since then i have had multiple rats/mice breaching the cabin. I often kill them off but for the life of me i can't work out how they get in. They are coming and going from the car because i see bamboo leaf litter in there and in the nest in the blower motor fan macadamia nut shells. View from above the blower motor. Cleaned. This ***** i got in there a few weeks ago. As you can see he isn't small so a decent sized opening is somewhere. Any help would be appreciated. I have owned many cars and never had this problem.
