Connecting a 1985 radio to an old Corolla
Warning: The original language is Russian.
Итак, всем здравствуйте. Я гордый обладатель старой, но бойкой Toyot Corolla FX в кузове хетчбэк/AE82 в комплектации SR на правом руле. И я загорелся идеей привести его в адекватный вид. То есть поставить туда кастомное и оригинальное оборудование, отвечающее духу 1985 года.
Мне повезло трижды. Первый оказался при покупке, так как хозяин отдал инструкцию по эксплотации и журнал обслуживания. Второй раз был, когда я нашёл оригинальный рекламный каталог, который давали в дилерских центрах перед продажей авто. В этом буклете была найдена магнитола для проигрывания аудио кассет, которая шла, как опция на мой авто. И наконец-то третий произошёл совсем недавно.
Я получил её и она была снята с божественной AE86(в моих краях довольно редкий, но вполне осязаемый зверь). Да-да, вы скажете, что можно и без этих трудностей поставить современную аудио систему и наслаждатся музыкой. Но есть пару моментов. Я живу рядом с Японией, и могу слушать японское радио, даже AM диапазона. И я хочу получить аутентичный вид. Ну еще я могу записать пару аудио кассет, а блютуз кассета позволит подключится к телефону(благо Китай от меня тоже не сильно далеко).
Сейчас я пытаюсь срастить магнитолу и радиолу вместе, так как для их совместной работы они соединяются проводом. Подключение к проводке осуществляется сначала в магнитофон, а уже от магнитофона идет провод на радио. И меня смущают два провода, что аккуратно вынули из коннектора и закрыли термоусадочной трубкой.
Поэтому:
Люди добрые, помогите кто чем может. Куда провода эти ставить, чтобы пожар не устроить?
I might have to sell my AE86
I bought it with the intention to restore it completely and slowly work on it as much as I could, but with college and not really having the best place to work on it, it has sat untouched for a few months. It is a 84 sr5 hatchback, and the interior is in kind of rough shape, but I've managed to gather a decent amount of the parts for it. I will be honest when I say that it needs a lot of work, and has a small dent or two on one of the doors.
I might have to sell it because it is 1. being neglected and just sitting, and 2. the place where I was keeping it, has decided that it is no longer alright for me to keep it there anymore, and they say that if I do not move it within the next few days, they will start charging me everyday that it is still there.
It did run fine, but since its been sitting untouched, it now is having an issue getting fuel to the engine for some reason and so it doesn't run. It will crank, and start briefly with starting fluid, but I think either some rust that settled at the bottom of the fuel tank might have clogged the fuel pump, or the fuel filters that the previous owner put on there are just clogged.
It has a shit ton of miles and I know I overpaid for it. It's located between Austin and San Antonio, TX, so if anybody has any interest, please comment or reach out.
EDIT: I added some photos gathered from me and my friends of the car, next time I am at it I will take more. The interior is rough like I mentioned, so I don't have really any photos of it. Important to note there's not any bad rust that I am aware of. I also have a few parts that are extra with it. I have 2 decent condition door cards that are in the trunk of the car, I have new replacement taillights with gaskets (pictured are the old ones that are still on the car), and I also replaced the shift knob with an oem one. I have a 80s toyota radio that will fit where there isn't one, I have a car cover designed for it that can come with the car, too. The AC runs in the car, that got fixed, it has power steering as well. The rims are from an old celica, and sadly I do not have any other wheels. All the lights work, and the pop ups flip up and down.
It cost 100$ and 9 dollar a gallon to fill my Trueno with Premium in Belgium (Europe) I want to die
I can do 375 miles with one tank of gas.
Anyone have more screenshots or official photos of Tsuchiya's Levin from Pluspy?
Planning on building a model kit replica and i'm trying to find more reference pictures
SCAM ALERT. Please be extremely careful with some websites. They are clones from real dealerships and they're not real. Careful if you're looking for an 86 and see this particular one.
Love free parking garage pics
Rolling up to get grocaries in the cyber corolla.
PS: I currently have some LED modules in stock if anyone wants some cool headlights for their Levin :D
Watanabe R type and Replica mud flaps installed
Got my tires mounted and replica mud flaps installed. Really happy with the fitment!
Would it be valid for me to treat a Trueno as a daily commuter?
(I might get jumped after this) I mean like, I know damn well that the Toyota Trueno/Levin is classified as an Economy car, with the original pricing being as near as Kei Car pricing, and since there's a liftback body, I could use it as a Grocery Getter.
Some shots from ORP open track day
These pics were taken at Oregon Raceway Park a few weeks back. Super fun to drive on track. That f20c screams!
Highway pull 180kph with my Sprinter Trueno
What's the difference between these two engine harnesses?
I was on the GR Heritage site for the AE86 and wonder what the difference is between these two engine harnesses and which would be the right one for my AE86.
