CORONA RT104

If this guy want to spend his money on crap, he deserves it. Now now, at least we actually keep it within the forum, and we don't TROLL onto 'other' car forums like the recent justcommodores.com.au spy we had. I can still smell him. We'll never be as bad as them anyway, because you see, they drive Commodores.

i remember doing a few of them its no fun spose you could let it go on for a while but itll only get worse over time and leak more but as long as you keep an eye on the oil level every week youll be fine 227k isnt bad for a rav ive seen rear mains go with ravs half those klms last time it took me around 2 days to change one and that was an auto obviously if its a manual the oil leak will cause problems with your clutch

Hilux's are unbelieveably tough, these things could drive underwater.

Cause if it does, you really should have it changed as it will fail its next rego inspection. If does not I would wait to change it then. If it leaks bad enough to notice the oil level go down, it should be changed immediatley. i remember doing a few of them its no fun spose you could let it go on for a while but itll only get worse over time and leak more but as long as you keep an eye on the oil level every week youll be fine 227k isnt bad for a rav ive seen rear mains go with ravs half those klms last time it took me around 2 days to change one and that was an auto obviously if its a manual the oil leak will cause problems with your clutch

Does it actually drip on the floor? i remember doing a few of them its no fun spose you could let it go on for a while but itll only get worse over time and leak more but as long as you keep an eye on the oil level every week youll be fine 227k isnt bad for a rav ive seen rear mains go with ravs half those klms last time it took me around 2 days to change one and that was an auto obviously if its a manual the oil leak will cause problems with your clutch

Syncro cost stuff all, even at toyta's inflated spare parts prices $100 would more that cover it. It is huge job to change them though. Sometimes not possible to do correctly when DIY as you need special tools.

That car was on ebay a couple of week ago was it not?

Is it a whine or a clicking noise.

Just buy a Corona, they love water. how big was the puddle? :( well, i got out to push my car n the water was halfway between my ankles n knees? <_< pretty deep, i push it out of the 'puddle' then i pushed it another 10 meters away from the 'puddle', slept in my car coz i didn't wanna leave it. called towtruck in the morning. sorry late reply thats like a freakin pond or lake man..hahaha..what were u doin in there :P

If your car is in a really good and exceptional conditon, by another one swap the trannys over and sell it again. Hopefully you will get your money back. Or check out Pickles damaged car Auctions and see if you can pick up a smashed one from there. This way will get everything you will need and will know how to put it together. Otherwise just by another car and sell the one you have.

The answer to your problem is simple: Stock Tyres and rims= smooth ride poor looks, OK handling Boy racer rims and tyres= great looks maybe better handling but at the expense of ride quality.

Even complete with the tartan blanket covering the seat, Love it. Anymore people out there with classic toyota's?

Toyota may not make the most powerfull vehicles, but they certainly make the most relaiable. Many make engines to last 300K kms, but few make cars that can. Compare any falcon or Commodore to a Camry or Corolla at that milage. The first two, the interior will be worn, the brakes and suspension will be RS and basically the car will drive like crap. The latter two on the other hand, will still drive pretty well Living proof that toyota makes the most lasting cars..what more can u say :P

I reckon Subiota sounds a little better...

As my user name may suggest, I have a Corona 1975 RT104, you can't kill these things with an axe. There is a road that passes through a creek near my house with no bridge, i.e. the road dips down to the bottom of the creek, and whenever it rains it would the water level would rise to about 50-60cm. Anyway I used to pass through this creek everyday to work, the thing used to fill up with water to just above my ankles. I must done this about 30 times, and did not bother it. In my back paddock there was small hill, about 2 meters tall, well I used to jump the rona off that numerous times, and still drive it on the road the next day. I used to burnouts with it like you would not believe, it used to axle tramp like crazy, you would think the dashboard would fly off it would shake that much. These things were built very tough.
