[rottie007]

I've got two,an estate and a saloon,the saloon might be for sale,too many projects on the go at the one time.

I've got a 1975 saloon. I've fitted a 4A-GE engine and T50 'box from the RWD Corolla Twincam, along with other mods. Just putting the finishing touches to the mechanicals before doing the bodywork.

!Removed! hell!!! That must shift :)

It's quite nippy, yes.

Got XR2 vented discs, AP 4-pot calipers on home-made brackets, AP brake master cylinder, home-made mount for hydraulic clutch master cylinder under dash, custom made front springs, re-cambered rear springs, Monroe strut inserts, home-made engine and gearbox mounts, home-made strut brace, custom made propshaft, re-cored and modified Daihatsu radiator with Peugeot fan fitted in front, home-made exhaust from manifold back, home-made induction kit, Battery moved to boot to make space in engine bay, modified fuel tank for electric pump, all hydraulic hoses are home-made braided stainless steel.

The front suspension sits higher now, so it could actually be lighter than standard. Bodywork needs tidied up because it sat outside too long while I moved house and built a garage. I've got GRP front wings and have bought everything I need to make moulds of the other panels, but it's my first time moulding so I don't know how successful it'll be.

Can post a photo here if it's allowed.

yes mate ive got one also !! just getting the bodywork sorted at the minute ,, oh and fitting the roll cage , ready for its first rally !!!!!! ill post some pcs soon

[Aaron]

Have you done any work to the suspension in preparation for rallying it?

I am looking to replace all the rubber bushes with polyeurethane and am going to have to remove them to measure them as I can't find anyone listing off-the-shelf ones for the 1000.

I did have a gp A 4K in mine, but it blew a piston at about 115mph, so I decided to just fit a standard, higher bhp engine. Turned out to be a lot more work though.

its goosd to see some people are still using these old horses on the road. ..

ive only got the 993 engine still and its got a valve gone but it goes like stink for what it is

any ideas on where to get valves for one?

[Aaron]

rottie007,

Sorry, but when I moved house, I only brought my spare 4K with me - I skipped my 40,000mile 2K. Been trying to find out the valve sizes in the different K-series heads in case you could get a 3K or 4K valve turned down to size but my Toyota sevice manuals don't appear to give valve diameters.

a friend of mine picked up his 3rd 1000 yesterday! he loves em.... we recently removed the engine from an mr2 which is gonna live in a 1000 very soon along with big arches and a nice pair of fat carbs!!

[Aaron]

I have the 4A-GE engine from a RWD Corolla in my 1000, and there didn't look to be enough room for side-draughts. I kept the injection and even then it was a tight fit - I had to fit the shortest race brake master cylinder I could find to clear the inlet, and I had to fit the clutch master cylinder inside the car under the dash. Unless you go for a pedal box with both the master cylinders inside the car, you might have problems.

ive got a 2k sitting in my starlet 30,000 miles, im waiting to finish my escort before i start on it, i dont need anything to do with the engine, if you want any bits i live in surrey. i dumped a good 2k a couple of weeks ago too.

Got a spare engine for a 1975 1000, you might be able to get the valves from that. Have enough spares to fill a van.

[hotshot 315]

Yes i have got the classic orange toyota 1000 on the road and also got 1974 toyota 1000 1 owner from new with 40,000 miles for spares on the clock and mines just hit 30,000 miles and going strong.

If you check the post dates mate you'll see the last posts made were years ago and these members are no longer active. :(

Sorry, but you are wasting your time here... TOC doesn't really have any 100 owners. (don't tell the mods I said that!)
