What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

[zei20l]

Replace the gearbox and transfer first mate, that will fix the fault...

[pipster11]

somehow this has found its way onto my driveway...

[ironpaw]

U bought a corolla?

I changed my oil today, used Motul 8100 Xcess. While I was doing this I replaced the stock sump plug with a Greddy magentic sump plug, and also installed a Greddy oil filter relocation kit. A Greddy OX-3 oil filter is fitted to the kit.

Now to go for a test run later to see if I there are no leaks. I know If there can be a problem, I will have it.

unfortunately, has the best 4 cyl petrol motor toyota had to offer tho (4age)

100kw + 1000kgs = 6.2l/100km (highway)

Couple of shitty cellphone photos of my headlight job. Have since polished the lenses, look 50x better.

car went to chasers on saturday to get the emanage back in. had a slight missfire with the emanage in but have been assured its fine and made 180awkw so everything appears to be in order! car pull so much stronger and cleanly now. love it.

Put a dump pipe on the car yesterday and mated it to the factory front pipe and then into the Kakimoto rear. A nice little increase in power and response I think from my butt dyno readings.

Kakimoto R?

[richzx]

Sure do.

[Sunkist]

Sure do.

is it the R?

probably the best exhaust i bought!

[richzx]

Yes it's the same as yours except I need to pull the monster 5" pipe off the back!

[Sunkist]

lol i did that! and put the white sticker on the pipe.

Also bent the pegs so the exhaust sat abit higher..

came up like so

It looks much better imo

[bigkevracer]

lol....one day you'll get it done!!!!

I thought you had an AR-X for some reason!

Nope, RS. Didn't want an AR-X, not a big fan of the plastic bumpers, and reading here made it sound like it was a hassle to change the suspension.

Broke my gearbox

Broke my gearbox

oooops!!

do you know why/how it broke?

[bubba]

Yeah, mostly me being a dickhead.

Cooked it proper like, think I have broken the tranny oil pump too which caused it to cook even more.

Was beating up on it for a couple of hours through the hills, then dropped a skid on some semi slicks no worries. Went to drop another skid but I think a combination of hot engine, hot box, hot semis, really didn't go down well Then add in the fact it was 1am, I was tired and cranky coz it wouldn't light up so I probably tried a bit too hard

Now there is a dull rattle from the bellhousing, HEAPS of fluid in the pan at temp (with a nice burnt smell) and can't get any gear (can see the selection on the dash though). Diagnostics said Shift Solenoid B and Overrun clutch solenoid but I highly doubt those... the fact that there is a rattle, heaps of fluid in the pan and can't get any gear leads me to think the oil pump is busted. Got a spare torque converter from a 34GTT but not a spare box

Was it hard? Fitting mine tomorrow lol any tips?

[Commsman]

Fitted nice white LEDs to cabin lights (standard) plus white LED strips to footwells both front & back.

Wired them to come on with door open (not running all the time) which gives a nice ambience when you first hop in.

You have to choose colour, brightness and method of operation carefully. It can be a fine line sometimes between classy and RICER .

Pics?
