    Heard a loud knocking after lift. Mechanic dropped oil pan to see worn rod bearings. I purchased some from a parts store but they're not as wide as the ones that came out. Everything matches except the width. Can they still work?

    Thanks for the advice. Car, in km, is at 280k so the coils might be weak by now I think.
  3. kevman77
    I hope that solves the issue. Parts here are really expensive though.

    I haven't modded the car. I haven't checked the fueling components. Next step is to change the coil packs. Thanks for the response.

    Greetings from Barbados. 1. My 2002 2zz Jdm Allex is moving off, bogging a bit, then accelerating smoothly to redline. 2. The idle is steady but the exhaust sounds like the engine has stage 2 cams. 3. The car experiences random backfires when cruising at low speeds. 4. It's struggling to keep up with cars it used to demolish (20v 4age's) I've changed the maf, plugs, filter, and cleaned the throttle body. The car still feels the same. Any suggestions? Thanks guys.

    Hi guys I hope all is well. I have been searching the net but to no avail trying to find a smoked fuel door for a 2002 JDM Allex/Sportivo. Does anyone know wher I can order one? Thanks. Kev.

    Its not very loud at all. No raspiness throughout the rev range. Video soon.

    Pics of the install.

    Removed my hook and got my exhaust installed on the right. Pics soon.

    Yup, the tow hook is welded on and our JDM models have a space saver doughnut that cant even fit over the stock front brakes. A flat up front means you always have to put a rear wheel up front and the little spare at the back. Quite a pain.

    I live in Barbados and we too have JDM imports. I have bought an oval exhaust which I would prefer to install on the right. The main obstruction is the tow hook. It seems it will have to be cut off for a muffler to fit there properly. Apart from that you can install a cannon style muffler at a ridiculous angle out to the right or run some car-width piping over to the left and install your after market exhaust/muffler. Let me know how it goes if you do an install. I cant find pics of the JDM model exhaust installs anywhere.

    Many thanks for the replies guys. Great forum. I think I'm leaning towards the Exedy.

    What about the eclutchmasters stage 1? Are they any good?

Which one should I go with? http://www.monkeywrenchracing.com/product_info.php?products_id=1265

    Thanks for the replies guys but I live in Barbados. Where online and what brand is recommende?. Nothing above a stage 1 as I am only doing light mods. Thanks again.

    Hey guys 2zz Clutch is finally slipping especially in 6th gear. What's a good clutch to buy and where's the best place to order one from?
  16. kevman77
    Post the ebay link so others can see what we are dealing with and advise you.
  17. kevman77
    Don't do it. Save your money and avoid disappointment.
  18. kevman77
    They look great inside the housing but are about as useful as two candles on your bonnet.
  19. kevman77
    That is NOT going to work. Even the MAF sensor is unsuitable both in terms of type and position. Universal junk.

    Great job on the retrofit. I have a 2002 Toyota 2zz Allex and am interested in the projector mod too.

    Did you have any issues with removing and reinstalling the headlights?

    Did you encounter any fogging of the lights any time after resealing.

    How did you get the hi/low to work since Toyota uses ground switched headlight wiring?

    Hope that's not to...

    Hey guys, my car is a 2002 2zz Allex with the h4 headlights. I bought a low beam HID kit and bench tested it and it works. I installed it in the car plug and play and it refuses to come on. Does any body know the headlamp wiring codes/colors? Maybe the plug and play setup on the kit does not match the Toyota headlight harness pinout. I can identify the ground and +ve inputs on the HID kit but the Toyota headlight connector has 3 wires:red/black, red/yellow and red/blue. Thanks.

    Thanks alot for taking the time to respond in the way you did. My car is a 2002 2zz Toyota Allex (JDM model). I posed the question here because I read that many of the regular scanners don't work with JDM vehicles. I read your response and am thinking about just getting an OBDII to USB cable and some software. Can you recommend a proper cable?

    Hey forum. I was doing some research regarding OBD scantools and was wondering if anybody knows which scantool/reader will work on the JDM 2zz Allex. Any info is appreciated.

    Hey forum I hope all is well.Greetings from Barbados. My car is a 2002 2zz Corolla Allex. I am trying to decide on which brand exhaust barrel to get. I want one that is going to be quiet. I plan to just replace the existing end with maybe a Magnaflow since it seems that these are quite quiet and of good quality build. Any suggestions or advice? Also, is the ebay 2zz charger kit any good? Ebay kit

    Thanks for the info. Drive safely.
