so now it seems like I found my electrical issue and fixed it..its time to start replacing my other issues.
I am lookin to find some front brake rotors. I don't car if they are stock and used. I just need new ones that aren't warped or carved up and don't have the money to go buy brand new ones.
anybody have anything for cheap?
I also need shocks... BAD
they creak and thunk and its the same situation as the brakes. Which is I am broke.
or if you guys know of a place where I can get that stuff cheap that doesn't suck.
I've done some online searching of my own and can't find much of anything for very cheap.

I would recommend just going to a junkyard.

Not a single one in town has an ae92. I've been to all of em.

What about turning the rotors? Around here the NAPA store has a good machine shop that does it reasonably.

ckosoff · 06-19-2010, 12:51 PM

they are beyond that point. and we have no more Napa's.
They all got shut down a few months ago.

Sorry I haven't been following any of your threads so I don't know what car you have. I do have some of the sedan/SR5/early GTS rotors that came off of a hub/spindle assembly I bought from someone. (I bought a full early GTS brake conversion but won't be using the fronts since I'm going with the bigger 90-91 GTS brakes) Anyhow I never threw them away because I just don't like throwing away good stuff even if I can't use it. Unfortunately rotors in general are heavy and the cost of shipping could be prohibitive but otherwise you can have them for free. They do have surface rust but I wouldn't have any problems putting them on and letting the pads clear the rust. If those will work for you I can measure them and weigh them so you can see how much it will cost you to have them shipped.

Ok, gimme a few days to "mic" them and weigh them. Maybe I'll take a pic.

I did a little research online when I replaced my rotors and was able to order a pair of Brembo rotors on sale cheaper than having the old rotors turned...

First off this probably wont help much but the GEO PRIZM is the exact same car on the out side unless its a GSI model then its like a GT-S couple
The reason i mention this is because most junk yards keep the GEOs in domestics and the Toyota's in the import section

But second where on earth do you live that your junk yard doesn't have any ae92's? my junkyard always has several sedans they have even lately had a LE and a SR5

ckosoff · 06-29-2010, 12:43 AM

lol I live in selah right outside Yakima area and they crush cars after about a month. and the yards also in general just don't have the corollas. any kind at all. occasionally i'll see an early 80s

drawsemaj · 06-29-2010, 12:49 AM

wow that simply amazes me to tell the truth maybe you will have a little luck finding geo prizms

ckosoff · 06-29-2010, 11:41 AM

maybe. those are all probably newer than the 6th gen to! this town sucks man! lol

drawsemaj · 06-29-2010, 12:50 PM

lol and and i thought i had it bad here i just cant find the coupes and higher end models but they did make a prizm with the ae92 so i would make sure to look

and honestly the 7th gens shared alot of the same parts

ckosoff · 06-29-2010, 12:56 PM

oh i didn't know that. haha
my parents ordered me cv axles and new shocks.
one of my axles broken goin through town yesterday.
That was scary, didn't really know what happened at first
