that was a month or 2 ago..

then had a mega hard gutter hit, turned my whitline adjustable p/h rod into a bananna... is currently labled "ban stick" at ajps.....

all she needs now is new idler arm, front swaybar and rebuild the box then a good wheel allignment and she will b mint. untill the next gutter comes outta no where anyway....................

^ lol yeah ill need that seat back in the near future brutha...
lol @ ya for rocking up with a farked drivers seat

[ae71]

one thing i love about steering box is the massive lock you get for free!!! woot

i perfure the feeling of rack and penut but for the mucking around a reco'd steering box or a mint condition one should be good enough, once you get used to it its fine. my mates t-18 has mass steering play, when i first drive it i was wondering how the hell he kept it on the road but now im fine with it..

wtf did u steal my car lol

looks the same in avatar!!!

black dish meshies ftw!

[Bustin_86]

yeah, Aaron is talking about my t18 lol.

You just get used to it, in my opinion the fucking around isnt worth the hektik rack and peanut points yo!

I think you can also tighten up the steering box? To eliminate freeplay?

Im going to have a fiddle this week with mine because it is pretty sloppy. Im just used to it though, doesnt effect me.

Yes steering boxes can be adjusted, but they become very darty, even harder to keep on the road than a sloppy one.

just kgo reco'd one.

[RobertoX]

box ftl

no wonder toyota changed all corollas for the better from the t18 on

[Bustin_86]

Yeah fair enough.

Quick, lets put shitter diffs in! Oh, those 3tc motors, way to powerful. Make it 1.3, but keep the shitty pushrods. Crossflow? Thats for pussies! REAL gangsters have the carby sitting right on top of the exhaust. Inlet temps? No problems, not like the car makes more 30 hp anyway. Oh, while were at it, lets keep the wack square front lights, but add two doors and a body that looks as mismatched as a bucket of playdough at a colour blind kids convention. Woo! improvement!

Narr just playin', corolla's after the t18 did have some improvements, namely rack and peanut and a stiffer chassis... but they also went backwards in a few ways... unless if you mean Sprinters, which I suppose are a improvement all 'round. I AM biased though...

Love them or hate them, t18s are fun to drive http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[stouty]

I love my T-18 and it is a rust bucket piss of shit that sounds like a deisel, the radio doesnt work, makes so many squeeks and groans, is fking near impossible to drive in a shopping centre carpark but it gets side ways and no one else in my town has one or understands why i have a piss of shit. But thats why i love it.

[paulie]

t-18s have the batter motors out of the lot... thats about it... they are the ugliest ever corolla... jay if u want a good slider, go rack and peanut....

[kewagon]

steering boxs are great in my opininon, you get use to them and when i first drove a ke70 i was liek whats with this steering, why is it going were i steer it when i steer it??

you tighten steering boxs with the nut and the bolt with the cut in the top of it but dont overtighten it cause if you do the box will seize up so only do it a little at a time and test it, keep the box, dont get a rack

[RobertoX]

shitter diffs i will agree with that but not like it makes a difference

i ran my turbo with ke70 for the whole time no issues

4ac is a step up from 3tc, not 'xf' flow but OHC, , even my wagon drags off jhs 3tc with weber and exhaust

the ae71 had proper headlights with h4 bulbs

2 doors = practicality etc



to quote wheels in 82

'the t18 is the type of car to please posers and dissapoint drivers'


case closed steering box ftl

[paulie]

^^ a compelling piece... of shit is a ca18

[Jayman]

allthough LAWSON word on the grapevine is that c1's new STOCK creme'a beats ure ae in a drag hahahahahahahahahaha

leaning towards rebuilt box atm as it is only 150-250 unless c1's research proves to b cheaper......

[RobertoX]

word on the grape vin not even

about 200 for a rebuilt box

but its like 500 to rebuild a 4ac, when a 4age is 900
you dig?

[Bustin_86]

yeah if ur gonna spend that much coin get a sprinter rack.... mounts arent hard to fab up....

Or, just get a better one that isnt slopped out!

Lawson, much laughter from the ca edit http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[paulie]

LOL nice edit... i gonna sort this debate out on da jerry springer.. damn whore u is lawson

[ae71]

hhmmm, i still dont get why yo cant skid with a steering box..? sterring box would be more suited to sligaty than rack because of the lock, grip would be more suited to rack because of the responce but less need for lock...

[Bustin_86]

Steering box = wak but useable for lazy fucks ( like me ).
Steering rack = Better without a doubt.

Arguments settled!
