Re: AE86/AW11 4A-GE Oil Pan
There's a few versions over the years. Some have the oil return for the oil cooler, others don't. Then there's the update in the latter years where the shape changes slightly. The earlier are rectangular, while the newer have a cut-out on the side. Seems like you're just talking about swapping the e...

Re: 4age 16v car keeps trying to start without key
I've seen this when the timing is off. Verify the leads all go to the correct cylinders and see where its set at.

Re: Throttle body plate used and surging idle
There should be a set screw with a nut that stops the plate assembly at a "closed" point. you can adjust that, if needed, to have it close a bit more.
That's if adjusting the throttle cable doesn't work.

Re: Replica New AE86 hatch body shell coming ?
The issue in the states is that a VIN is required for importing, which these don't have. I haven't looked into it too much, but at a 5pc minimum, if someone was to buy all that, only to have them send back after arriving at customs... but yea, this place is a ghost town. more spam registrations, no ...

Re: Question on Digital Gauge Cluster (sensors)
the oil pressure sensor is just a dummy light style, on/off. most 90s toyotas will have them, including the 20v's. The coolant sensor, I forget what I sourced for my friend, ill look into that...i believe its the same as the oil, on/off, no actual gage reading?

Re: Need tire size help...
I hade 15x8.0 +0 years back, with 195/50R15s. It rubbed slightly up front, the front bumper corner wears out quickly where it bolts to the fender. 205s will be way too wide. The rear arch lip is folded up and it touched the tire occasionally.

A bolt goes through the backside of the fender (circled in your pic) to the bracket on the bumper. Kouki & zenki are different. i have a zenki trueno template if it helps

Re: Does anyone have a step by step guide to remove / install dash?
DID YOU GET IT OUT ALREADY?
The tips I can give are: theres a bolt behind the far left pass vent, pull cluster and push bezel out from backside, theres one behind the clock bezel. All speaker panels, glove box, and center console stuff need to come out to get to all the bolts as well.

Message me an email address to send it to.
In terms of timeframe, really depends on the state of each car and how quickly you can get all the parts out. If just the body harness, it wouldnt take more than a day if youre familiar with removing all the interior parts.

This is a swapped FX16? Does the cluster have a CEL/Engine light?
