What's going on with the FX16?

Күн бұрын

The Corolla has be living the garage life for the last few months. What started out as a light aroma of radiator fluid turned into a puddle of fluid. So it's been out with the old and in with the new cooling system. All of it being custom and not plug and play. Luckily, most of the hard stuff has been sorted out and the FX16 will be singing in the streets soon enough.
And what was that at the end??? :D:D:D

I really find car builds like these more amusing to watch and very informative. Its just very subtle but full of detail and not super crazy. Nice to see an update on this corolla hope to see it in a small track next time around

I saved a video from 7 years ago, when I first started to fall in love with Japanese cars. It's been a treat for me to go back and watch you driving some 4age on camera. Crazy. It turns out that after so many years, I only still long for and love the sound of that video. I've been mocked for talking about it, as if it's not so heavenly like maybe I think it is. Well! Earlier last year, I watched more of the fX16 content, and I was very excited! I regret to say, it took me all up until now to subscribe. I think I'll be glad I did, because you're still doing it! I love it. Hope to see more

Cheers. If you haven't gotten the Li-Ion battery yet, I'd recommend going for a LiFePo4 one, they handle temperature better than the ion ones and most importantly, they don't burn. They cost about the same but if I recall correctly the LiFePo4 ones are a tad heavier, still far lighter than a lead acid and far safer than a Li-Ion.

Been watching these videos for a while now... inspired me to get a 4door twin cam 16 ae82 here in Australia. Currently painting it, and I've now swapped to a silvertop 20v but am stuck in the wiring. Appears to need the body loom and the loom for computer/ignition spicing in. I ve added the original Ae101 loom to engine plus the silvertop computer in passenger footwell, but from here I'm stuck! Did you have any tips or diagrams for your conversion?

Depending on where your cluster temp sensor is located, you can put in a T or Y fitting for that fan controller sensor, or tap the manifold. It looks a lot cleaner than cutting a hose.

Surely you could get someone to weld on a bung for a radiator fan sensor relay straight on the radiator instead of having those janky inbetweeners? Don't know exactly what its called in english but its like a temp sensor but its a thermostat sensor, meaning that it doesnt let through any voltage until a certain temp, where it lets through the signal to the relay.

@sushpants Жыл бұрын

That’s a good idea, I’ll look into it

@Tobberobbe97 Жыл бұрын

@@sushpants it was called thermostat switch, you can prob take the one from the adapter thing and if you know the thread, just buy an aluminium bung and find some guy near you that welds aluminium. This is the same method as I will do on my n13 pulsar sr20 swap later when I find a new job and garage again.

Оно бывает в двух исполнениях medium (purple series) и hard (black series), возможно на короллу есть что-то подобное и оно может быть более компромиссное или жизнеспособное.
