    which year/model do the t series lsds bolt in to on the t18?
    also which year sigma control arms are the ones that people use (ball joint bolted in i think)

    Yeah they are ball jointed/ press fit ones. Know that the GJ (1980?) definately has the right arms. Pretty much any of the older models with the quad headlights. The earlier Scorpions had the same arms as well I reckon. If you saw the "newer" models arms you'd know straight away that they look nothing like the AE71/86 ones....

    Interesting...how much modding is needed for the mounts and hoses etc?

    1979 GE sigma are the control arms to go for, both models fit, but the 2pc control arm gives way too much camber. your after the single pc press in ball joint control arm.

    Are there any things that aren't the same (apart from engine, gearbox etc.) between the KE70 and AE71? And do they have any external differences?

    And is there anything mechanical that isnt interchangable between the AE86 and the KE70/AE71?

    I have only heard that the suspension isnt a straight fit. Is that right?

    i was about to ask the same question, cuz i was just at my local wreckers taking out 2 non aircon tubes from ae71's (as suggested on the previous page) for my 86 and my gf's 86 and while i was taking them out i had a look around the ae71 and the suspention looks just like an 86. Has any1 bolted ae71 front strut into an 86?

    Last weekend I was fishing around for the loom clips to suit JDM power mirrors (under dash loom connector from mirrors to main loom) and discovered they are identical to those in the power mirror circuit of a mid 80's boxy Corona. The reasonable looking one! Not the one that had a holden engine(?) This also had the same power mirror control switch as JDM AE86's. Don't bother with the one at pick a part Kilsyth as they aren't there anymore.

    If you have a JDM park light switch but need the loom plug to suit, it is the same plug as the male side of this power mirror loom connector. i.e. the under dash loom connector, NOT the power mirror control switch.

    For what it is worth, after fishing around under dashes of KE70, AE71, T18 and this Corona, the heater boxes, heater fans and definitely the aircon bypass tube all look identical to that in an AE86, re my earlier response in this thread.

    Yep they are I reckon and the disks are a shade smaller too. Pretty much everything else is a bolts up tho (panhard rod, swaybar, etc)....

    The strut towers on the AE71 are about 5cm wider apart than the AE86 as a matter of interest.... same track I think, just different angle....
