Part 2: AE82 Quick Steering - Making the Corolla FX16 stiff again!

Рет қаралды 9,970

3 жыл бұрын

The Corolla FX16 GT-S is getting closer to being the ultimate touge monster it deserves to be! I also take the AE82 steering rack to Techno Toy Tuning to be fitted for custom tie-rod ends. Plus, I find out how bad the door hinges were and how I fixed them.

The new steering rack is from a ZZE-110 with a steering pinion from a JDM MR-S transplanted into it. (KOYO rack) It seems to shares the same width as the AE82 steering rack so the factory tie-rods should bolt right on. But keep an eye out as Techno Toy Tuning might stock upgraded tie-rods!

I've been watching your channel for years. Always come back for your unique content. From the days of your touge battles with your friend's Civic to your recent ECU and COP upgrades. There's not much AE82 content out there and yours is topnotch. It's such a shame most of the FX16s have met their demise and they're so overshadowed by the AE86.

If my FX wasn’t as original as it was, I’d be dropping a BZ-R 6-speed/blacktop combo like your GT-S has. My FX feels too original to take apart, and the single cam is in really good condition, as in it shocked me how responsive it is.

That’s great! 1st like to video, 2nd comment and definitely a long time viewer. Each video further pushes the envelop of bringing back old cool cars with a new lease on life. I know it’s not altogether initial d but would you consider running it to my Subaru Impreza Wagon ?( classic Impreza gf body similar to gf8 sti wagon ) I need a good reference point and I feel that the fx16 is suitable considering that I can’t find an ae86 owner to run it up against. To me these cars for their time are the benchmark.

That being said, I’m looking to maximize it’s potential in every way possible while being able to still daily it without messing with power directly.

I know you're already done, but I would recommend a riv-nut next time you're working in a tricky area like that.

I considered the rivnut option but preferred using a bolt with a washer to give the brace the best chance to work. I was pretty close to abandoning that preference after monkeying around with it for 2 hours :)

I seriously debated going rivet vs bolt. I ended up going with the bolt option with a big washer because it was going to be stronger than a rivet. I really didn’t want a rivet to pop out from a big pot hole. Thanks for the comment!

@slohachi6433 3 жыл бұрын

I was thinking the same, a rivnut would have been much easier. But using a bolt and large washer combo provides a lot more surface area for sure.
