Re: Avensis- What to look out for

the good thing about them is they look pretty cool, that is all they have going for them.
the engines die and have issues, the headlights are prone for melting the back off them.

Re: Help: Mounting racetech seat in AE101 levin

unpick the factory seat mounts and start from scratch. if its a competition car, that is what one should do anyway as most factory seat mounts (particularly the rear ones) will shear off with a good impact

Re: Wrapping a bonnet

its cheaper to carbon wrap it than it is to paint it. Did it on the rx7 a few years ago, came out pretty sweet, most people that see it in the flesh think it is proper carbon.

Fuel economy around town isn't great but on a trip its fine, most likely better than you'd get from a GT-T Caldina.

Re: AE92 Vs AE101 for Clubsport

I'd take the AE92 given the choice. IMHO they are a slightly better platform than the AE101. the weight may be the factor but to me AE92's just seem to handle that little bit better than AE101's do.

Re: Share your E## Gearbox knowledge here.......

alot of the parts would probably be swapable but i think you couldn't just change the whole guts across as i'm pretty sure the 'crownwheel' is offset differently between 2wd and 4wd boxes

Re: Got a manual Rav4?

the strip them on the shaft which has the 'pinion' cog machined into it.
I'm pretty sure you cant do what you are hoping to do, you will need to find a 2wd rav4 box to do it with. As the offset of the 'pinion' and crown wheel in the E250F box is different to what it is in a 2wd E55/56/58 type box ...

E250F is the box commonly found in the mid/late 90's rav4's, they are known for spinning the spline out of the centre of the 5th gear cogs.
they come std with either a open/lockable transfer box, and some have a viscous centre diff.
