Get a corrola from the late 70s early 80s .

U will probably get it for $500 or less and u dont even need to pu oil or water in it and it just keeps going.

Unless u thrash it round the corner at 60 and throw the right wheel off by 5-10 degrees and the whole thing shakes like crazy. :oops: no i didnt.

3months later its still going.

yes mate still have it.

I am replacing the battery and power steering belt probably tomorrow.

The belt went yesterday and my bright young brother left the lights on..

as I said, it's a pretty good car for that kinda money.

Engine does not blow smoke and works fine.

The seats are really clean cause they have always had some ugly seat covers so the original material is in good nic.

Body is mainly straight except for the occasional parking bump or scratch.

The paint is the original 16 byear old paint and is fading in some areas but if you can be bothered to buff it out, it would be cool.

I'm looking for a Toyota Sprinter. The AE-86 model, preferably with a dead motor so me and my uncle can wack in a 20V 4AGE.

It can be my daily car and then I'll go nutz on the R.

Silver-Arrowz :D Nice choice!

I've been thinking of doing the same to use as a run-about to drive to work, shops, etc. in if I ever get around to owning a Skyline. Drop a 20v 4A-GE in and leave it as a low-key sleeper with those old Supra or Cressida wheels and fresh paint - Sweet!!!

    • So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House  
    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
