Faulty Gauge - Solved!

Although I promised to myself that on January I will not touch Rolla, this one is an exception coz this is one of the important gauge to tell the driver if the fuel is about to ran out. So, irritated with the not working gauge, I broke my promise and bought some stuffs to solve this matter.

First, the faulty float. Found out that Din's float also in faulty condition. And then tried to fit in my old float from my KE tank, also in faulty condition. The best way is to buy a new float, and got this after ordering it.

This is a brand new float for Corolla KE70. I am using an AE86 fuel tank, and thank you Toyota for making same parts for both car. Almost all AE86 stuffs can be fitted into KE70. How lovely is that. So this float fit nicely into the AE86 tank. And since I am using socket from KE70 float, this is just plug and play to the car.

And hell yeah, I am glad now coz the gauge is working fine. Yeah, my old gauge behind is not working anymore.

Some New Toys..

Three papers down and three more to go before I finished my first semester in the second year of my learning course. Fuh! Unfortunately I'm gonna fail one of the paper due to super-duper-complicated Differential Equations. Somehow my brain really cant understand all those weird equations and derivatives and bla bla bla. Nevertheless, I rather take a short course to make sure my pointer stays more than 3.4.

Sideways with Steelies.

Aah, anyway, Rolla had been running with a broken fuel regulator (Must be the diaphragm worn out due to high pressure)  for a few weeks already and the consumption is really bad. This time; from KL to JB cost me RM70 fuel and then right afterward the Skudai Toll, the tank was empty. Hahaha. Ask a friend of mine to send some fuel and I'm back in campus. Anyway, the following weeks also were bad coz I spent RM50 to RM70 on petrol only and travel less than 200km.

And, I decided to order some parts to replace the regulator plus a few more items that I had been 'KIV'-ing for a long time. There's more I'm gonna order after this. Just waiting for it to become necessary first.
