Continued repair - Toyota Corsa, 1.5 liter, 1990
The car overwintered in a snowdrift under the window, there was a lot of snow this winter, almost covered with a roof.
I began to prepare for spring back in winter - new distributor caps, runners, castings, summer tires, Eurolight, seats from Mazda RX8, a hood, a turbine, a bypass valve from a turbo starlet were bought. As soon as it warmed up, work began. Collected the distributor, started the car. Then I solved the problem of starting - the car started on a cold one only from the 3rd 4th time: on the control valve of the injector XX, the wires were stupidly mixed up in places, and even closed to each other. I put the valve from the donor along with the connector — it started with half a kick! Also, the engine did not want to work under load at a speed of more than 2500, and at idle more than 3500 - the problem was solved by replacing the switch (thanks to the starlet club forum - I would have broken my head myself but would not have guessed.) - now the car is driving, and quite briskly;) order under the hood and made the inlet.
In mid-May, with a dismantled Corolla-2, I bought a set of brakes from BZR, converted to el31, elongated studs on the hubs, exhaust on the 63rd pipe, front fender with pipes and blueoff, front fenders, rear door, body kit and other trifles. First of all, I installed the brakes, then shod the molding in rubber and put it on the car, digested the mounts and installed the seats (now sitting is a pleasure!), Replaced the hood, installed a contract turbine, installed the front fenders and bumper, new modules in the headlights, aligned the line of the wings , headlights and hood.
The leaking cooling radiator was replaced with a Civic radiator.
Well, since it was not very good to drive a multi-colored car, she went to the tin and painting.
Thank you for rating! The work is not finished yet, soon I will write about body repair and painting.
There are no particular difficulties with the brakes from BZR, the calipers fit like native ones, the diameter of the brake discs needs to be reduced a little so as not to sharpen the spacers for the calipers, and a 6mm spacer is placed between the hub and the brake disc, well, in addition, elongated studs (I seem to have from a cruiser)
Job well done! Saddles from the RX-8 look great.
I am just now studying the topic of converting brakes to BZ-R ones, did you have any difficulties / features?
The whole body kit (2 bumpers and sills) is a tuned body kit from AE86, brought from Japan, reworked for EL31
