    Is the 7m-gte a non-interference engine?

    My timing belt is looking like it's "time" fairly soon. Just to check we're talking apples and apples, this is if the timing belt breaks, the pistons and valves will NOT occupy the same space? Right? I'm going to be shopping around for kits to do the whole lot, wondering how much time...

    Knock Sensor code after all this time....

    I've had my car 3 years (turbo, 89 bought it ruined) and my final code left is knock sensor. Had it since the start. One KS was missing. Just installed a replacement (got from someone on here btw) and the code comes back after maybe 60 seconds of running. The car sounds good and is...

    Replacement sport roof.

    Got an 89 turbo. My roof leaks on the passenger side when it's raining. Cant see the damage in the seals, and my roof is a little damaged anyway. So time for a new roof. Toyota gave me a quote of around $400 (IIRC). Are there carbon fiber ones for sale anywhere? Would make moving it...

    R154 trouble with shifting. Any ideas?

    Recently had 89 turbo swapped AT to R154. Everything has been fine for probably 3 months. This morning shifting into first and second has been very tough (from a stop and I think when moving too). Clutch feels lighter than it used to. Reverse grinds when shifting into it. From...

    LSD (differential!)questions.

    From wikipedia (sorry) I read that mark 1 and 2s (some of them) had limited slip differentials from the factory. Do any mark 3 models have them? Any easy way of knowing which cars have them? I'm assuming mine doesn't (89 turbo AT) but am interested in the possibility of having one, how...

    I got a new clutch kit and bought a used fork from someone here. However I can't see how the fork matches up with the bearing. It doesn't match either side. Am I missing a part?

    Failed emissions. Was fantastic last year.

    So I failed pretty bad. I'm hoping its related to what happened yesterday. Engine was misfiring pretty badly. Turned out water (LOADS) had got under the valve cover. I had a horrendous water later from the heater control valve hose (subsequently fixed). Emissions tester guy said it may be...

    Audio advice.... what can I do with my car?

    So a few months back I got a new main unit installed. A nice Kenwood kdc-x590. However the mid and high ranges are fine but the bass is practically non-existent. Even if you ramp it up with the EQ. I'm guessing it's to do with old father time. The car is an 89 turbo. Or is there another...

    89 turbo w/abs. Have found a tranny in a nearby yard. However I know I need master cylinder, flywheel, pedal assy, drivesahft. At that same yard they have a full NON-turbo car. Could I use those parts from that car in my turbo? Is there anything else I need? Thanks.
