I'm anxious, ideal!

I wouldn't waste my money on regular DPs now that the DDPs are around... BIC or raptor racing would be excellent choices, both fit. as far as I know the china ones are copies of raptor racing's mk2 DDP and will not fit the mk3. I've heard nothing but good things about both these company's...

not a hyrbird, they're subcompact cars with a 1.5 litre gas engine that is good on gas. it's a derivative of the vitz sold overseas...a continuation of the echo name here.

congrats Pete, overall the car looks to be in pretty good shape, despite the fact that the previous owner was a complete moron. I wouldn't stress about the diff too much unless it's making loud noises. your wheel hop is most likely contributed to the combination of worn rear shocks and tired...

I know sawbladz submitted his too. I used my bestest of the best pics and wrote up my story. hopefully it works out! I need the prize badly for my engine build. I'll mail out some Pb&J samaches for you haha! may the best man...err car? win! good luck to all.

new toyota HG is on it's way...I had a closer look at the ebay HG I have...I think it's made of pure shit....I can't trust the thing. AFM and intake bought from tubbie too! no more junkyard hunting for me now, just new parts! I need to cut the useless stuff off my harness and re-wrap it/clean...

I think everyone on the planet does. It should probably be classified as hazardous waste now...

this was taken at the end of last summer. I'm the farthest left with the trophy. and following the theme...me drunk!

I just cleaned my oil pump and the cressida oil pan. It's still yet to be painted. I inspected the oil pump as per the TSRM's directions with feeler gauges and everything is on the tight side of clearances...so that's good news! I plan on just replacing the bypass spring to insure the pressure...

wow! this keeps getting better and better! you've done a great job cleaning up the engine bay parts too!

good work so far man, this should make your car MOVE!

haha! thanks guys! mk3 runner - completion time is before august, in the car, running. absaloute goal is to be broken in and kicking ass by the big supra meet in toronto...mid august. vids will be taken most likely on the first start and first drive. in car, flybys, burnouts, probably...

submitted! two mk2s back to back? I doubt it....but I hope it doesn't sway your decisions!

got a box in the mail today (the first of many in the next few weeks). expensive, but worth it! shame on you for thinking I'd have an ugly engine! :D

couple teaser pics! bottom end off to the machine shop! the machinist visually inspected everything and said it all looks great. Of course, he still has to mic the pistons, and gauge the bores. He said the oil pump drive bearing "looks" good and will check it. Overall he said th block...

"the right stuff" is better, in almost every situation. the only place I wouldn't use it would be hot parts, such as the exhaust. That being said, I've had good luck with all of permatex's FIPG products.
