Great....swapping turbo is not easy as it looks lowering the compression and tuning the ecu is most difficult....stock ecu never works right .
You know I'm not too much in honda.
In toyota engines where F comes it means economic and where G comes it means something our type
And 2zzge give great mileage in a light chassis..

[umarabdullah]

Yep, I was initially thinking to go for hondata but then thaught I'd be better off getting an aftermarket ecu, but there is a long while left before any of that happens, primarily a 2zzge is more reliable and will do more than fine stock, but I haven't seen one truly clean ae101 for a sane price, the only clean ride I saw was for 12 lacs​, so I thought why not Honda, and the ae101 is suddenly losing spares availability pretty rapidly, so it will depend on what is there then, at least 12lacs are needed after a year or so for a good build that is 0-100 in sub 6 seconds, pata nahi tab Tak Zindagi wafa karti hai ya nahi?

[umarabdullah]

Anyways I am waiting anxiously for word on what you found in the shipment @xipingo bro

[Hassan1991]

masla hi to zindagi ka hai
why not ae80 .......Ae101 is expensive but hell awesome for a build.
yep parts of old corolla's are getting extemely expensive and rare even ae101 parts are cheap in comparison to older breeds.
Now Eg's and Ek's are easy to maintain because of easily available parts.

Workshop owner is sick let's see when he will be able to go for engine.80% of Denting work has been completed will post pictures when denting will be completed InshaAllah

[Hassan1991]

will be waiting

[umarabdullah]

Now that you've mentioned ae80, there is this awesome meter for sale, but don't know how to get it to Pakistan, I don't have anyone coming to Pakistan,.

[umarabdullah]

Also get your car anti rusted in the meantime as Karachi is a rust paradise

[Hassan1991]

Looks like ae86's or ae82fx meter....but not of 4age variant as RPM gauge ends at 8k.
Models having 4ag under the hood had 9k.

[umarabdullah]

Yeah, the seller claims it is off of an ae86, he has two, I wanted to buy it but don't know if it will fit as Good knows if he is Telling the truth or not , I am not so good at older and more classic cars, and I don't know but could be off of a normal left hand drive Rolla which won't be good

[Hassan1991]

Yep left hand drive. Fitting will not be any issue.
Bhai GT's meter is better than this one.

[umarabdullah]

Yeah but the best part is that this guy wants 20 cad for this, he has two and is ready to give them up for 30 cad , but I don't have an ae86 to stick this in and it's impossible for me to check if they work as I have zero experience with electronics, and how to j get them to Pakistan? Otherwise I'd be glad to share one with you

[Hassan1991]

haha thanks.....ask him to send through any courier service....but these are left hand drive....will feel a little awkward in right hand drive cars....

[xipingo]

Denting is completed now the painter will start his work by making base at first after that engine will be swapped
Lip kits have been ordered

[xipingo]

Purchased these rear lights
Will go for smoke headlights for front have to go to market tomorrow maybe for that

[Hassan1991]

Also painting the bay? In same colour?

[xipingo]

Yeah Bay is also going to be painted but looking for colour options

[umarabdullah]

If you like you can install a fog lamp in the rear bumper like

It will look great, I saw it in a build here by a user, you can run neat wiring from the rear dim lights to make it convenient, and this is a great colour aswell

[shery_leo]
