[TOYROTA] Regular Location: A.C.T Registered: July 2002	Re: POLL!!! Most unreliable Toyo Engine ever! Wed, 11 December 2002 10:15 I have nooo idea what you guys are going on about??? You all reckon the starefire is un-reliable, yet i have been hillclimbing my corona for 5 years now strapping the absolute shit out of it, and i haven't had a problem yet! Sure i have to agree it chews more fuel, water and oil than i chew food, but i have never had a "reliability" problem with it yet. And b4 anyone tries to suggest i drive like a girl, i'll kindly inform them that i have actually blown both the BORGE WARNER diff (one tooth)AND have stuffed the 2nd gear syncro in the corona 4speed box! Mostly from snapping second gear while on a 'strap-fest' than the actual hillclimbing itself. ohh and did i mention i've snapped four axels? (however that has a lot to do with the current locked centre) I know this just sounds like a driveline thrashing test, but beleive me the motor has copped a hiding during all of this. As i also used to use it for bush bashing, most of the suspension was bent before i realised it didn't have an air-filter in the box haha and after inhailing all that crap it's still going strong(ish). Fuck it's slow but. And onto the second part of the question, i'd have to say that the most reliable engine i've come across sofar is whatever is in the KE70 corolla. I was given an example that housed the remains of it's oil rings in the sump, therefore i couldn't remain stationary for very long before the entire cabin filled with smoke and i choked to death! Obviously not one for the road, i took to the bush for months on end, topping the oil up more regularily than the petrol, seriously, it was soo bad. i strapped the crap out of that too as it was pretty much a shell on wheels, and after over 4 months of driving with no rings (the compression was that bad that when you let the clutch out to bump start it on gravel, the wheels wouldn't even lock up),i ended up selling it for $200 and it was still running exactly the same as it had been the first day i got it. By the way it's top speed was around 54 to 56km/h so even as a bush basher it wasn't much fun, it pretty much stopped if you hit some loose sand lol. Anyway that's my story.
