Future plans......
-slamm that shit on its guts!!
-sigma LCA's
-nardi classic woodgrain wheel
-%5 window tint
-fix damage,possible respray
-sports muffler for some noise
-and maybe a pod

But it's basically staying mechanically stock,
just look a little prettier.

I love it!

Yeah cheers....It was a one family owned car so it's been well looked after!
That aside,this will be going up for sale soon if the missis doesn't want to drive it!

Just picked up something a lil cooler and more my style!
I'm sooo stoked!! was looking at buying an mx73 glxi and the mx83 grande's before i bought the corona but couldn't find the rite car........Then this slapped me in the face!!!

Hey is there any way i can get one of the mods to change the heading? or is there a way to do it myself?

i know they used the x8 markII's as taxi's but i don't think a grande falls under the same category

cheers

Sports muffler? Don't run any on it :)

This is a very nice find. Take care of it.

28th July 2009, 12:10 PM
yeah man, as marv said. super good buy. rare car. dont turn it into a shitty hack.

Joshie_Mcslide
29th July 2009, 11:53 AM
hahahaha....got it off ebay,don't think it was listed long?
I'm dead set STOKED! about this car! it's honestly the nicest,coolest iv'e owned!
So def not gunna be a hack! My brother in-law works at a smash repair joint and is pretty tight with his boss....so it's going in after hours to get the damage fixed up as soon as it's on the road!

When i say sports muffler i dont mean a big cannon.....just something tidy,and sorry marvis.....i did just buy some 15x8 0 offset xxr(sportsmax)002's too.......Red center with pollished lip..........Whats wrong with them wheels?
i reckon they look good! shit build quality? whats the deal with em? surly they will be ok for cruising.......this wont be getting drifted!!!
I cant stress that enough!!
thats what the keto's for!
hhehehehehe

cheers guys!

his problem with them is there not a japanese rim i think

Rip it
29th July 2009, 04:35 PM
^^ Yeah, coming from someone that lives in Australia!!
There is nothing wrong with those wheels mate, at all. That comment is soley based around them not being made in Japan.

Joshie_Mcslide
29th July 2009, 04:54 PM
cool....well they look pretty good to me and got em brand new for a good price so i grabbed em!

i'm not Japanese either so it don't bother me! lol

Looks like getting it on the road wont be as easy as i first thought......it's developed a rear main oil leak!
so i've gotta postpone my RWC appointment and get that sorted out....going to the mechanics rite now actually!
Will be back with a professional diagnosis in about an hour.....

SHIT! Wouldn't want anything non JDM on our cars. Can SOMEONE please state what is actually wrong with these wheels?? And valid answers, not just, "oh, you know, just don't like them"

Mate, if your happy with your wheels and got them at the right price, good on you!! Don't be put off by the narrow mined opinions posted in here.

Take this how you will, but who is anyone to tell anyone what wheels they can run on their car, we are in Australia not Japan, so don't give me that crap. And just for the record I have spent 9 months in Japan land and seen more Japanese style cars than most.

Thats my rant, in summary, not your car, let him do what he wants.

Love the car mate, best of luck with it.

Jake.

Joshie_Mcslide
29th July 2009, 09:41 PM
Cheers Jake,
I don't care really.....they will look fat in my eyes!
I mean Ideally i would love a set of ssr meshie's or longchamps or markII's or Hayashi's....or Whatever in the same size.....But seriously,My old mans in America Now,they cost me about $345aud for the set to buy over there and nothing to throw em in the container he's bringing back! Thats a Win if you ask me!

I could buy the set of 7.5" meshies for sale on here atm for $1400 but i'd rather put an age in the rolla!

cheers

hmmmmmmm......

looking over this car iv'e noticed something kinda weird....

it's badged twincam24valve(i'm assuming 1G-GEU)
but the engine don't look twin cam to me and the compliance tag says its a 1G-EU, which is a SOHC,2 valves per cyl?

What engine is supposed to be in my car? does anyone know?
I've gotta do a rear main and i'm wondering if its worth it?
thanks

josh

marvis
30th July 2009, 10:39 AM
Wheels will ruin this car. It's periodically incorrect. Sportmaxx's should be on early 90's riced out civics.

It needs something really nice to set it off. You will be able to fit 10's on the rear easy.. This is a really nice car and it deserves better..

It's like putting china cromies on a top of the line mirc.

Car should have a 1J :P

Joshie_Mcslide
30th July 2009, 01:34 PM
cheers for the insight marv.........a 1j would be nice, but i'd like to get it on the road first!

the xxr's where cheap like i said.....cant get em in aus for under 800 new!
iv'e got an st141 they will fit too remember.....the missis might want them on that yet,she has priority anyway....lol

see what happens ey.....first things first.

To "fix" the rear main: change oil, something thick (25w60) + 1x nulon stop oil leak + can of degreaser, then get the roadworthy ;)
Then 1ggz/t motor later

ThatsHowWeRoll
30th July 2009, 02:50 PM
This is a cool car!!


If the wheels look good they look good....who cares if they are correct or not.


Good luck with it man...

marvis
5th August 2009, 12:37 PM
Yes!

You are starting to think straight. 14's will be awesome.

Here is some inspiration.. Even with some MK1's, lowered it looks mint.

I dont really like what they did to that green one.....But the tyre fitment is nuts!,i love it!.....probably go for a fitment close to the white one in the first pic,but not mark I's....probably go for a nice mesh if i can find the rite 2 pairs when i've got the cash,what ever I get........Red centers all the way!!!

picking it up at 2:00.....killing time,killing time!

josh

Joshie_Mcslide
5th August 2009, 04:51 PM
Got it home!
App there was a blocked hose in the crank case(not the pcv) that was causing the engine to build up pressure! Probably the reason why it sprung a leak in the pressure switch and ran dry in turn killing the rear main(it was obviously ready to go)
so...once they fixed the rear main,after coming back from a test drive it left another oil puddle under the car......the excess pressure from the blocked hose was making new leaks where ever there was a weak point!

Anyway...they fixed the blockage and the other oil leak for an extra $40 on top of the original quote! so there was a reason for the lateness and probably something i would of missed.
I'm happy!

7th August 2009, 09:27 PM
Picked up a Nardi classic steerer for this beast!

Cost about $190 inc postage to get it from Japan...its the wrong colour compared to my interior so i'm planning on staining it to a dark oak!

I've got a post in the tech section......but what boss kits would fit the Mark II?

otherwise...nothings really changed,put a sticker on it....lol, it says Bare feet not allowed in Japanese...bit of a laugh.

Corona's low and legal! got it registered yesterday....post a pic up tomorrow

Thats been the Game plan the whole time!
Check out my second post.....I want my car to look similar to that,but with red 14" wheels and a rear window louver.......there the side skirts and lip i want though!

Keeping the rear mud flaps on with NO rear spoilers at all!
Iv'e got it drawn up in my head anyway!

Probably not the way you'd approve of Marv...lol,cutties until i get some AJPS coils next month.
Done a Decent job on em though...had it up on blocks all day,taking measurement's etc...Hung all 4 coils up in my home made spray booth and painted them all cherry red.....so they look legit,pedders spec!!,hahahahaha

Nah i just finished it then......we'll i thought i'd try and fit a pair of ke70 rear shocks while i was there....Worked a treat,cunts are like 4" shorter than the markII ones.....and there brand new so it's heeps stiffer in the ass now,old ones were pretty shagged anyway!
Nice cheep upgrade!

Anyone know if XT130/AE68 have the same size stub axle as an mx73 cressi??
Basically,i wanna know if my brakes will bolt onto corona struts?
If so....Another cheap upgrade!!
Love this thing!

They will get me through the RWC for now anyway!

He's borrowing my wheels until his meshies arrive...When JustJDM imports container comes in next month!
Dunno if you can tell...but i had the Sharaks polished up on the weekend,his is the first car they've been on since.....and he spilled rust dissolver on one!

LoL
For those who said i should go lower!
Measured up the lowest points today.......110mm at the rear of the sil,100mm up front,front chassis rails are 80mm and the exhaust is 70mm!
there abouts anyway......dont think it needs to be lower!

But with the 14"s on it an 75 series tyres it brings it all up around 60-70mm....hehehehe
Sized up one of the 15's beside a ke70 13" with 75 series tyre and the 15" is smaller...lol!
Gotta love stretched 195/50's!!

I want this so bad.

I don't even know if i'd even sell it....I've thought about it,but i think it's worth more to me that it's cash Value!

On that note though....Marvis,you might be able to shed some light here?

What would it's cash value be roughly?? and how rare are they over here?
I mean...I'd never seen one in Real life before mine,I was looking for an MX73 Cressi and my mate spotted this for me....didn't think too much into it just bought it!
Bloke selling it said his mate(was selling for him)payed $5000 for it 12 months ago!

Cheers man

It all depends on who is buying and selling I guess. It's like an AE86. To the normal person it's a shitbox old toyota. But to some it's worth more then it's weight in gold.

21st August 2009, 06:12 PM
how much did you get it for? haha

stahlz_ae86
21st August 2009, 06:34 PM
Short answer, it would not have been much, as it didn't get a lot of interest at the price it was advertised at for a few weeks. I was seriously considering buying it:P

Joshie_Mcslide
21st August 2009, 08:05 PM
the pics in the add were shit but...and it was advertised as a Grange

What it owes me is more the point anyway......Which now is far more than the initial purchase...lets just say that!
lol

Basically thats what i thought......It's not for sale unless the rite offer comes along!

cheers

needs a manual conversion to do skids anyway....some more power wouldn't go astray either!

I can't get it to spinn up at all! LSD grips and it just takes off!
Although i did manage a donut at the end of a no through rd in the rain!

I just love Cruising in it!
Keto's for skids!

Spoke to my brother inlaw(the panel beater)today,had a bit of a look into it......No intrusion bars in the doors!
That makes life easy!
Looking into skinning some cressida doors,well the front should fit ok...back door could be a bit different?
Need to look into that...But either way,jobs 100 times easier = less work = less $$$
Cant wait to get it straitened out!

Front Shockies n springs are on ther way! Cheers Dave!

Sigma LCA's were a flop!....tried fitting them yesterday,didn't happen!
Could probably still be done but i didnt have the rite parts....Maybe some "new" Tie rod ends before i attemt it again?

Or Maybe just some camber tops....hahahaha!

Dunno if i mentioned it earlier....but iv'e been looking at a cheap upgrade for the rear shocks......its got std hight ke70 items in atm(3.5" shorter than gx71's),looking at getting some 95 series Landcruiser items.....Should be a decent upgrade i think,nice n firm...and there slightly shorter again than ke70 shockies!
What ya's reckon?

83' Camaro Shocks. Firm but not uncomfortable. Shorter than stock E7 ones aswell.

Joshie_Mcslide
4th September 2009, 10:36 AM
really? i've got a par of impala coils in the back of my corolla!

Works out good cos my old man has Chev's!
He just sold his z28 camaro though....I wonder if he's got anything laying around?

Did you have them fitted in an 86 though? cos the marky would be at least 400-500kg heavier......Would that make much of a dif?
The ke70 ones are kinda soft,but better than what i had in it...hahaha

It will be running 6kg springs & exel g's in the front....so i wanna match the back up better

7th September 2009, 10:25 PM
Fitted the New shocks n springs in the front today....

Raised it up by about 1"-1.5" maybe8|
might need a trim....but it will be so sad to cut new springs :(

Wonder if they will fit the Rona???
Hmm

Josh

7th September 2009, 10:40 PM
lower dont cut em sell em and get lower ones

Joshie_Mcslide
7th September 2009, 11:05 PM
yeah i thought of that......maybe someone will swap for a shorter pair??
there only 210mm 86 springs :p

Putting stockies back on soon to pass rwc......I'll sort something out when it goes back......might try to get it to sit 100mm at it's lowest point with the 185/75-14's on........so then once i put the 15's back on after it's all Legit in my name,should sit about 50mm(there abouts) off the chassis rails!!!
Might need to mod them mudflaps then!!
The mudflaps need to come off for rwc anyway.....so once it back low,i'll take some pics on its rails with no mudflaps....For Marvis! lol

How it sits now with AE86 210mm 6kg front springs!
Might have something to do with the Ke70 spring saddles i used?
Looking into a pair of 86 saddles atm.....see how it sits after they go in?

Does anyone know if you can get a vented disk to work with the twin piston calipers in an xt130 corona??

Josh!

The Kid
9th September 2009, 11:56 AM
RA60 discs maybe? Vented and 22mm thick I think, might wanna check though. Cars looking good though, lower at the front and maximum winnar.

Joshie_Mcslide
9th September 2009, 02:01 PM
Cos i was thinking if i can run a vented disk with that setup,i could then run xt130 struts in this...would be a slight upgrade i'd imagine and would increase neg camber and possibly offset.....there for eliminating the need for sigma LCA's??
Might look into that one!

Will be going lower after it's registered in my name! getting the rwc done saturday!
should be done next week!
At least i have Exel g's in the front now!
Josh

Joshie_Mcslide

Scored a lenght of 3" pipe today with a y piece and 2 dump tips :P

should replace that 3ft muffler nicely......What you's think?

also droped the front down again(used the stock cutties)......stockie's back on tomorrow and it's off for rwc!
Hope i pass! hahaha


Josh

Joshie_Mcslide
13th September 2009, 06:04 PM
stockies are on and fudflaps are off......still looks low in the pics but the chassis off the ground by 110mm now,so plenty legal!
I'll argue the point too if the RWC guy tells me otherwise......Bloke wasn't open like he said he would be on sat,so it's going in tomorrow now....here's how its sitting

-oil leak(sump needs a tighten and a wash)
-Muffler(it's fucked)
-Ajust front wheel barings
-front brake hoses need replaceing

lil bit too easy!! lil bit stoked! too bad about the muffler though,have to pay for a new one just too cut it out later.....grrrr!

OK.....So i'm all legit now!
Bought a 3TGTE for the corolla,was sitting in a t18.........I decided i'd swap all my gear into the t18 and build that! so thats the plan for that.......But the 3T,I done a lil reasearch.......the 3T bellhousing will bolt upto the 1G in this! the 3T flywheel bolts upto a 1G-GTE......so not %100 it will bolt upto a 1G-EU? but i'm gunna find out!!!
So plans are....Source a pedal assemblly,lil more reaserch........I'm gunna need to get the tailshaft lenghtened,but hopefully the 3t flywheel,clutch etc will all fit....master cyl's all seem to be the same or similar,so that shouldnt be a problem?

But yeah....Near future,Fuckin 5 speed baby!!!
