LOL!! That's funny.. Haha yea you're telling me...I was so used to driving my 1J with wider wheels and different suspension for so long, that I didn't have enough of a chance to find/avoid the breaking point of this new one I think.. But as they say, "This too shall pass"...

I know guys, I know...But I AM KEEPING IT AND FIXING IT!! Now she will finally get that much deserved re-paint :naughty: I found a shell in MD, thanks to pogoism9, pretty cool how quick I can make moves with everyone's help! :biglaugh: Yes, I am very fortunate that I didn't slam...

PM Sent! :naughty: I hope you are right about the bold'd part above..

Not sure if I made this timeline clear enough, so here it is: I purchased and drove home this car on Sunday, 12/14 I crashed the car on Friday, 12/19, with ONLY liability insurance, which is basically not having insurance in this situation...so I am indebted to this car for the long haul...

Well, it has been an interesting week or so..here's a quick rundown ( for cliff-notes, read the bold areas): - I sold my white '88 to Ben (TurboFreak) last year, and had my eyes on his old '89 7mgte dark blue metallic hardtop :love::love: I remember saying that I wish this thing was still for...

nice job! that looks really clean from the front side. something to consider

no i didn't.. would have been a good hint as to what model it actually is. i didn't gawk at it for too long lol, it was really cold, about to snow, and I had someone in the car who probably could care a lot less than I did! haha.

LOL!! funny it is a tacoma too. I think there were two handicapped spots next to each other, both vacant, to give these two toyotas some credit:sarcasm: Yep you're right, that parking lot sucked!! Still interested in who owns the car, especially if you are local! Would be...

I saw a really nice Black NA>T MK4 Targa at the Best Buy in Fair Lakes around 4 or 5 on Saturday, 12/6. Just wondering if you were on here, because your car looked really good, especially if it really is a NA>T!! Tags= 2JZGE1T 2JZGE IT? 2JZGE/T? ...

Ummmm, I think this is an understatement? HAHAHA. I am 23, and I cannot even begin to imagine your spec sheet for another decade!! LOL Props for sticking with the 7m, and going for a SICK twin setup!! Oh and by the way, if you haven't figured this out.... :ttiwwp: ...J/K, keep us...

I couldn't see the hole at a good enough angle, since the hole is up above the rear tranny mount...could have stuck a mirror up there, which I can do sometime. the new sensors are ~$114 from Champion Toyota IIRC.

well I got the plug removed over the weekend, and my used sensor installed, and I still have the same problem, but do suspect that the replacement sensor is at fault...anyways, my pliers did NOT help one bit! LOL Below is the way to do it, and is the only way I could see getting the job...

nice! are you talking about getting the pilot bearing out properly??

I'll post up the part number on the pliers if anyone is interested. Craftsman, found at Sears next to the snap-ring pliers..

so after two visits to Sears, I found what I was looking for: a pair of reverse-clamping pliers, which are shaped like a deformed lower-case "r" at the tip, so that they are able to grab outwards on a surface (or plug:naughty:), which may be recessed juuust a hair. I also bought a very narrow...

only thing is I JUST replaced my trans fluid with MT-90, and don't want to drain and replace it already. (not much for re-using fluids once they hit a drain pan, even if it is clean) unless I am wrong, and the trans fluid will stay in there when removing the extension housing?? is the...

hmm it does sound risky. maybe if I had a small magnet pen in holding the plug (for assurance) while I tap one side of it?? just thought of another idea-- maybe I could have someone weld a small piece of metal (such as an allen key), to the inner surface of the plug, and then just...

interesting...I can't get any of the part number links to open to see more information (maybe because I am at work); I would like to see how they look. I am going to do some searching on this today. any other suggestions? thanks

problem is I want to do this without removing the trans, and IIRC, it didn't look like there was ANY room for a drill, let alone a slide hammer :aigo: my theoretical pliers (from above), at a 45* or 90* bend, would do the trick...lol

will do, thanks. I think I will try to hunt one down..or go with the extra switch. the car is a pre-89, and has the pictured on/off switch. what I am looking to replace are the buttons on the steering wheel, for resume/accelerate or whatever is included. GrimJack's idea (I believe) was...
