You know if they had trucks like that, and at that price here I wouldn't have bought the Fairlane? I've always wanted something like that to drop the kids off at school with and do the groceries. I think I'd even put some variant of those godawful stick family decals on there just to get the point across. Plus I'd enjoy the hell out of my drat unreliable truck that's always broken when someone needs to move house.

If you want a RWD Corolla, you either have to go 1983 or earlier (E70 chassis and back), or get an SR-5 (AE85) or GT-S (AE86) on the 1983-1987 E80 chassis. The GT-S came with a 112hp EFI engine in the US, but good luck finding one that hasn't rusted to death or been killed by the doriftu crowd. I hope against hope that I'll be able to find a flawless AE86 coup with little or no rust, but I'm starting to think it'll never happen.

I had an '84 sedan, in Alaska. Extremely fuel efficient. It should be able to do mid-40s highway, and high 30s without even trying. Boring on asphalt, but get it on loose surfaces (where the lack of power matters less) and it's a different story. The light weight comes in handy, too. I accidentally drove mine onto hard-packed snow...like a couple inches of crust on top of two feet of loose dry snow...twice. This was weak enough that if I stepped too hard you could break through. I turned around and drove out each time. If you don't live someplace with lots of snow, sand, or gravel, you probably won't have much fun with it. If you do, loving BUY IT.

Infact I had the same model Corolla, but with the 4AGE motor in it, as well as better suspension setup. Kinda miss the old thing even though it was rusting to death (for Australian conditions, which is like 2 on the Sockington scale)

Honestly, with the right suspension (springs and dampers especially) FWD cars are fine for spirited driving, even motorsport stuff. The only thing they categorically cannot do is proper drifting, i.e. sustained powerslides.

I hear that they are pretty indestructible... just huge turds for driving. I am pretty sure the 68 Jeep it has the Continental Multi-Fuel engine.... Which how much of a pain in the rear end it is to turbo-charge the engine or am I asking for a bunch of poo poo to break. From doing a little reading it says that I need to put in a new head gasket. The power wont change much, but it does help it be a little more efficient. Though I am wondering how much of a bitch it is to just say gently caress it, rip out the multi-fuel and put in a Detroit of some kind. According to Wiki, the transfer case is divorced, so I could technically put in a bigger engine and a transmission with more gears.

General_Failure posted:Which bit? Blowthrough turbos on carbs are a thing, but that implementation...uh. Yeah, blow through turbos are a thing. Wayne Dyson was doing 10 sec 1/4 miles with a rx3 weber carbed with garret t04 13B rotary in the early 1990s. And Vlad did 9s with a carbed blow through too. Shiiiit, that was 20 years ago, no one does it now. Nearly every rotary had a 48mm IDA, though some went to 50mm with extended fuel bowls back then. Those turbos were DCOE, I even went crazy with twin 40 IDFs taken from a sprint car. I had a mate that used a 'predator' carb (it was just a bucket more or less to pour fuel, rectangular butterfly, weird thing), and another that tried a holley 650 dp - adapter kit was made with a plate to fit in the standard nikki(12a) or hitatchi (13b) manifold. Got to be insane to use anything other than EFI these days though. But my twin 40IDFs looked pretty cool at least Fo3 fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Jan 23, 2013 |

Fo3 posted:Yeah, blow through turbos are a thing. I'll agree with that. If you are building for performance the only way to go is EFI. If you are having a bit of fun with an older motor, tarting it up with some go faster bits I see no problem with sticking with a carb. I absolutely loathe both Nikki and Hitachi carbs. Probably better engineered than the Holley / Weber carbs but they are such a pain to work on and have wear issues that can't easily be rectified. IDFs always look cool. I've always wanted to get my hands on a Fish carburettor to clean up and put on something. I know the ridiculous economy and power claims are BS, but the more levelheaded ones are believable. It's a neat design though and I'd love to put one through its paces.

After all the trouble a Fairlane's given you, you're still dead set on getting an old Soviet car?  edit: unless they recently became a not terrible car or something.

That's one up on the Fairlane in every aspect. Plus it can go offroad a lot better than the Fairlane, has quarter windows / vents / glasses (depends on where you come from) and provision to use a crank. I kind of want to replace the Fairlane with a Discovery anyway as I mentioned somewhere previously. The only way is up really.

OK, I've been meaning to ask: is your Fairlane a variant of the Falcon, or something else? That's one I'm not familiar with, other than the US Fairlane from the '60s-'70s. e:Wikipedia is my friend. Longer wheelbase than the Falcon, like the Holden Caprice versus Commodore, I think. I'm guessing by your descriptions, that it's a '90s NA or ND chassis. So the 302 is hard to find parts for? Says here it's based on the Canadian variant used in N. American light trucks rather than the one used in the Mustang or other passenger cars, with provisions for RHD. Was it not a popular model or something? Darchangel fucked around with this message at 03:05 on Jan 25, 2013 |

More or less. It's a LWB version which has been massaged slightly but from the rear of the front doors forward it's more or less a Falcon.

Is it just a pain to find parts for the V8, or the Fairlane specifically? The 302 is one of the most common engines short of the small-block Chevy here in the US.

Darchangel posted:You replied as I was editing! That's a good question. I don't think there's a whole lot of mechanical difference between them. Mostly body, trim pieces, taillights, that sort of thing. I know it has a different ratio diff and I'm not really sure about the rest. I do get the impression that there may be some suspension differences. The driveshaft would certainly be different. The instrument cluster too I think. Couldn't really say. because you have the Fairlane which the Ghia is pretty implicit, which seems to be different to the Fairmont Ghia (Falcon based body not LWB), then there's the LTD, the Sportsman (mine), and the Concorde I think. Mostly different trim and options but enough to cause grief for the unsuspecting owner or mechanic. 302s are pretty uncommon here and hoarded. The I6 is common and for a reason. It's a good motor. Oh, I forgot the wagon which I believe is also LWB but with different rear suspension to the Fairlane.

Yep. It's most definitely an imported 302W. Although the exact parts mix is a little mysterious. The non OBD EEC-V ECU programmed totally differently to even the I6 is the icing on the cake.
