Wow this thread is very informative!!

Any automatic trannies to fit my 12R engine? I'm tired with clutches!

Recently I tried to find an good upgrade to my stock rt105 front springs and I was told that an early 70's trucks? was good candidate for this this. knowing this I'd be lucky to find one. Then I stumbled upon a ford Mazda courier from the early 80's. They have the same size o.d. of 4 1/2" but with much thicker coil. Also the ford is much shorter by about an inch. Here's the comparison:

Here she is with the drop cut of 2 coils:

Thanks,

rt105 or rt115? the same car as mine? if so, no you cannot use the celica as they have mcpherson struts. totally different from celicas.

well unless your rt115 came with mcpherson struts then yes.

Thanks, I did some research and yes Celica suspension will not work. What kind of Ford truck where you referring too the front springs?

ddf101 · 10-17-2009, 10:05 PM

the early 80's mid-size ford/mazda courier trucks. They have a much thicker diameter coils than the corona.

When I got my rt105, it had a messed up signal and wiper arms and no hazard lights when turned on.. Then a friend had a 77 celica gt and I took the whole assembly and and to my surprise its a plug and play unit. Now i have a complete working unit and hazard light working.

Did so with the sun visor but it was too long.

My local parts supplier is coming up empty handed for brake hoses for my 74 Mark II.
Anyone have info on another model to cross reference?
Two front and single rear brake hoses.

[dB] · 11-28-2009, 02:18 PM

Thanks, 73GTV but I do not do business on ebay.
I'm looking for info on what other models use the same hoses and/or manufacturer name and part #'s that I can order directly.

i bet later model toyota's will work, just make sure the length is the same, or better.

i use a 78-81 celica rear brake line as a clutch line, if you need a really long one get a 79-83 4x4 rear brake line.
