Alt swap 85 to 99

My 85 GTS has been swapped with a BT20v, new wiring harness to accommodate the old 16v accessories. My 85 alternator just went bad-has a circle plug and im now trying to swap in the (bench tested) 99 alternator that i received with the 20v which has a oval plug. Cross referencing while i bench teste...

Re: a 'stock' brake master upgrade?

Be careful bleeding the brakes..... DON'T bottom out the pedal!!! Either tape a 4x4 under it, or something but do not bottom out the brake pedal. Why? A seal can get slightly nicked, the pedal will allow you to bleed and it will get hard... but as soon as you start the car, and then hit the brake p...

Re: a 'stock' brake master upgrade?

yes, something is amiss. i was wondering if it was somehow the booster. For normal stopping street driving, it seems to work fine. when i have to really stop fast, i have to push unusually hard. the wheels will eventually lockup. What could be the cause of the fluid not moving thru the fwd fitting?

DOOR REPLACEMENT ques..

does anyone know the weights of the Seibon carbon vs. VIS FRP door panels?
It's $1000US difference in price, but how much in weight?

Seems the FRP also has the OEM mounts for side mirrors, i guess i'd go for the mini F1 style mirrors if i ended up with the carbon doors.

Re: a 'stock' brake master upgrade?

noted thanks. i eventually got the 'coupe' 13/16 unit and got it in. IT of course wasnt w/o drama. even after using WD-40s new penetant, i snapped the flare wrench on the brake hardline and started to strip it with a regular wrench. ended up removing it from the other end and taking the old unit out...

a 'stock' brake master upgrade?

my 85 GTS brake master has a leak. (bubbles can be seen in the res when cleaning the bay with shop air) And wont bleed correctly. I ordered a new master from Oreillies after telling them- 85, Corolla, GTS, hatchback. they gave me this 7/8 unit- http://images.oreillyauto.com/parts/img/medium/dor/m394...
