    Dustcaps from ae92s fit sprinters front bearings. I tried alot of different corrola models and they were the only successful ones.

    maybe, i lost low and high beam tried wreckers no one had switches for the sprinter!! found out later it was the same as ford (EA).. any way to fix mine i pulled the swith out and apart, then looking at the circut card i noticed the solder had dried out and cracked - a little bit of heat and solder and then i had my lights back

    some trade secrets....

    for the guys that are cheap skates like myself..

    ht monaro rear shocks bolt into ae86's, they are short stroke, being design for a heavier vehicle the are fairly stiff. I picked up a pair of Koni adj. for less than $300

    rav4 front shocks will fit ra60 struts, not sure about ae86's but if the inside dia. is the same they will fit. They are not short stroke.

    st165 gt4 celica front shocks are short stroke and will fit ra60 struts, same deal with 86's, check inside dia. they will require a spacer at the base of the shock (ie large washers to fill base of strut, the cap that holds the shock in is threaded so it will prevent the washers from floating around).

    XD to XF series falcon rear springs can be cut down to suit the rear on ae86's, 2.5coils cut off is a good ride hight. siffens the rear to approx 6kg/mm

    Apparently the SV21 Camry has adjustable trailing arms that fit or come close to bolting into ae86's although i have not been able to confirm this yet.

    Twin cam 16v GE heads will bolt onto a 4ac but will drop the compression rediculously low (i think 6:1), but i could be possible to deck the head enough to raise the compression or just get some GE pistons. One of my mates has made 110rwhp reliably using this set-up and twin solex carbs.

    AE82 boss kits fit ae86's

    4afe alternator bracket bolts striaght onto 4A blocks

    if i can think of anymore i will let you guys know..

    cheers

    The SV21 trailing arms thing is close but not correct. I don't know the model numbers but they come from the widebody Camry right-rear locator arms. To make them fit you have to do some serious modding. Then the brackets have to be modified aswell.

    I had a huge Celica st185 Alternator floating around from a half cut i had, fits perfectly for a 4age, and can deliver 20 amps more current.
    But i suspect most toyota alternators are a common size and plug ???

    KE70 heater boxes and fan assemblies fit in, but you need to re-wire a bit of the loom to get the fans to work on the correct speed and not fry the resistors in the fan.

    I know T18 alternators fit but need the end cut off the bracket. And I know T18 hatch strut things are close but too big so they dont fit.
