Restoration of Corolla 1994 & 7afe Swap

[brownrose78]

1997.
Currently odometer reading is 226K but you know Karachi roads specially in these 20 years, it has become worsen day by day

Better to replace shock absorbers now, alongwith shock mounts, after inspection.

Thanks, yes sure. I will take his car along with Uncle on weekend for 2nd opinion and then see the condition myself, then will proceed the work as Shah Jee gave expected Time for completion in 2 days after complete installation & Testing

[ahsann]

avoid shah jee by all means. Identify the parts that need to be replaced, get OEM/ New parts and get them fitted by your trusted mechanic.

@ahsann
How is their work quality now? Their rates almost 4x higher than the market.

They have multiple branches in Karachi with always flooded work with them.

Also giving 6 months warranty of all the work they did wether new or Kabuli

[capsat]

since shah ji had an stroke and stopped to supervise the work himself his name is used by scammers.
Stay away from any Workshop under Shah Ji Name & Thick Fat Moustache picture across Karachi. All such business operate with crooked practice crime to con the customer.

Hello bro sorry for the late response.
Got this car imported directly, its everything is super fine condition, idk why today i got the culprit as the injectors installed were red colored tip with part number 23250-16160, which actually are designed for 7afe. I replaced with original 4afe injectors with equivalent flow rate, green colored tip with part number 23250-16150.

Issued solved, fuel average, low end torque, pick everything is fine now, just a bit knocking on sudden acceleration.

Sir does every car require valve lash adjustment like a 5afe.Does it mean adjusting tappets in desi mechanic,s language?

[iamahmedishtiaq]

Aoa , can you please compare the KYB shocks and agriauto shocks. Performance, price, durability etc

[ahsann]

They do every thing quickly.. but what they actually do just take out every suspension part of your car and replace it with parts repaired and also taken out form some one else vehical. In my experience for suspension just identify the issue, get the new parts sources and get them installed. Used parts never works. new parts lasts a long time even if they are Chinese in most cases.

[brownrose78]

@ahsann
Exactly, that's my point
42K is not small amount for salaried class people and just this is their way(Shah Jee Axle wala) what i understand that they will open all parts(wether they are worn out or not)

Then they will install all parts new (By new means replacement with either Chinese part or Kabuli part aka repaired part or Original part whatever it is available with them )

In this way, obviously when all parts will be fresh, it is easy to give 6 months or 1 year warranty cards)

[ahsann]

Yes... agreed !

[Xulfiqar]

Dont get any job like that done, only have worn out parts replaced with brand new ones or with professionally rebuilt ones. Shahjee axle doesnt have the quality you are looking for.

[humayun.chughtai.7]

Reliability wise both are equally good. As per sellers, KYB's are a bit more on the softer side than agriauto.

Jazak Allah,

Go to Faisal axle Saddar near chullu kabab old shop of shah jee axle

[humayun.chughtai.7]

New battery. Upgraded to 65 amp battery, previously had 50 amp one.

[chbilalnasar]

Dry battery?

[axd.axd7890]

Humayun bhi . I have 4afe ( 3rd generation ) engine ...

As you said in this forum newer generation 4afe and 7afe engines have timing sensor and non - adjustable distributor.... and you have 2nd generation engine ..But in my case i have adjustable distributor and have no timing sensor ....

Is in 3rd generation timing sensor has removed ?

[humayun.chughtai.7]

Naah ... regular wet battery
