Prothane bushing for the Ae86/Ke70

 Got this set of total bushing kit for the Ae86 from Battle Garage.

Motion in control

Full PU bushing kit for the corolla aging chassis. 

Can't wait to fit it on the car and feel out the difference. 

Dope oil

 

Testing this dope oil for more smooth n powerful engine. Supplement for the 20v engine 

Never ending exhaust issue

 After a short stint of running the fujitsubo regalis r, found that the power and response of the engine is considerably muted just like the sound. Probably due to the huge muffler and piping size.

Not wanting to sacrifice the nature and response of the 4throttle 4age 20v, I've decided to throw all the quietness out of the window and go all out with the power. 

Found a jdm Trust Beatmax Ti muffler with 2.38" Inlet, which is much more suited with the power of the 1.6 NA.

Bought 1 of the muffler event hough the seller got it as a set from prolly an oddysey. 

Went to the exhaust shop again to install my new found exhaust. 

Taking off the fujitsubo muffler 

Aligning the new Trust Beatmax exhaust into my 2.2" piping. 

Completed the installation of my new exhaust. 

After taking the car out and driving home. Found the engine power n response were much better than before but with the sacrifice of louder exhaust noise intruding into the car cabin. Not an option. 

Exhaust time

 Due to the loud exhaust noise from my raw and unobstructed cabin. Decided to change to a bigger and quiet exhaust.

Managed to find a huge fgk fujitsubo legalis r type evolution. 

Inlet 2.7 inches and outlet 4.5 inches. 

Length 24.5 inches width 10.5 inches. 

Taken out from a subaru legacy 2.0T.

Cross fingers hopping for the best. 

Comparison between the old and the new exhaust. Huge difference! 

Kinda huge compare to the previous exhaust 

Aligning the new exhaust to the piping. 

Sounds much more quiet with bassy sound on high rpm but power n response are considerably reduce. Hmm. 

Cusco spin turn knob

 Got my hands on the drift knob from cusco.

Now it's e-brake time.

Red spin knob for toyota, mitsu and mazda.

Dial cam

 After installation of the Tomei Poncam.

I did not set the cam in proper position. So figure out the best way to optimise the cam is to dial the cam. 

Send it to a dial cam specialist called deng dial cam to set it proper. 

Found out that the center line for the intake was slightly off at 124' due to head was skim w metal head gasket. And exhaust was set at 102' by previous mechanic. The specialist advance it to 110' for the exhaust to optimizer response and high end power.

Work in progress. 

Only dialing cams. 

After the work done. Power n response is much more better but still need touch up by tuner to retard the timing and probably a dyno to fully optimize the power. 

Starter issue again

 Having some cranking issue with the starter.

So decided to just swap the starter which I have service last time with the old one. 

Newly service high speed starter from ae111. 

Swapped out Old starter from ae80. 

New starter back in the engine. Hopefully no starting issue after this. Need to place a heat shield to prevent the hot manifold from failing the starter. 

Installing the new starter 

JDM Corolla grille with lamp bezel

 

Got this original Corolla logo with chrome grille and lamp bezel.

Installed the new face.

Looks proper.

Previous grille and lamp bezel doesn't look great. (Taiwan bezel)
