    I just got the interior in my car back together today! It was still in pieces from last year's paint job. Just a couple more issues to handle and I will be all set! Are there any local get-togethers planned? I should be up and running my the end of the month.

    Interior restoration questions/ sunroof help

    I just got done converting my after market sunroof in my 87 to a stock one from a 91. Talk about a big job! Anyways, I learned a lot about sunroofs along the way. There is a "gutter" system in all of them with a drain hose in each corner. If you have leaking problems, don't blame the seal around...

    Woot! grats man! you can argue HP vs. $$ and 7m vs 1jz all day long if you want. My 1j doesn't feel like its gonna explode at 5k rpm and I couldn't be happier with it ^^

    Yeah, I used the energy set. It is nearly a full set, just missing 2 for the rear,steering rack bushes, and sway bar. I wish I would have had a little more lube tho tbh

    Recalibrating stock guages

    None of them are Key'ed in any way. They should slide off or turn on the metal shaft they are on if pushed past their extent. I "zero-ed" my tach with this method. Works fine :)

    Reinforcing the rear toe arm...thoughts?

    Good call. I did just have those trailing arms in my hands about 4 months ago... But i didn't check for welds. Well surely we could design a full length gusset that is both strong and doesn't interfere. I have only seen a slightly belt trailing arm, but it was bent reasonably close to the...

    Reinforcing the rear toe arm...thoughts?

    Do we know exactly what kind of steel the stockers are? I hope we arn't hurting it by welding... If you have a bunch of material, why not just make 2 strips go the length of the arm? Assuming you have flat stock, make the 2 holes and radius the ends. Then, slide it right over the existing...

    I drove my 1jz swap from Longview, tx to my house in Oconomowoc when i graduated last year. No A/C ftl haha but it was a fun trip! My buddy had a quick 02 WRX so we had some fun on the way.

    My 87 is torn down for paint atm. I have an 89 bumper and wing installed. I guess i have to buy some new moldings cause the door ones get messed up when you take them off >.< The fun part of my build is the sun roof. I had an after market one that was crappy, didnt look sweet, and didnt work...

    GM 3bar Map Sensor Question

    Thats what your doing indirectly. Your Safc modifies the Map signal going into the computer in order to do the adding or trimming of the fuel.

    I think I need an aftermarket performance radiator! If so, what to get?

    I am a fan of electric fans personally, but don't have any experience with a car at that power level. I wonder if your fan clutch is just bad? Have you checked it?

    Took the trim off for paint... How do I straighten it?

    I took the trim off my 87 for prep and paint today. The door trim had double sided tape, so although i took my time getting it off, there is still a new arc to the whole trim. I'm worried even I get it close to straight it will still have some waves when I put it back on. Does anyone have a...
