    Hey guys,
    My name is John, I am 45 years old & very much a newby to the forums so please be patient with my terminology/lingo as this is all new to me.
    I am a proud owner of a 1984 ae71 corolla P/Van (Winowless :p)
    I've had my baby for 10 years now & yes she still has the good old slow & once was a realiable 1.6L 4ACE engine.
    A couple of months ago I bought a 4AGE 1.6 20v Black Top together with a SC12 button clutch, Gilmer modified to go with the Gilmer Drive Kit.
    This is my first "Toyota" project & I am a bit nervous with this one as I am so used to working with the older engines but I have started on the bodywork & bumpers.
    As most of you can tell, I'm not good with the Toyota lingo, I have read some of the posts on the forum & the Tech talk, there is a lot of head scratching going on on my part :eek:.
    This is a great forum & I'm hoping I can get some great information & help from the professionals for my new project I want to start. My ae71 Corolla Panel Van.jpg 31102011235.jpg Super Charger Front.jpg 4A-GE20ValveBlackTop.jpg
