Somewhat normal. Usually the valve stem seals fail on that side first because of the heat and oil leaks down causing the buildup.

You have the oil pump to clear. It's quite tight.

Shiny dashes are bad, that's why most serious cars (super cars, race cars, etc) run suede dashes to kill the glare.

NASCAR doesn't run 3.73:1 rear end ratios either. Vehicle speed =/= drivetrain speed. Not to mention harmonics take time to cause the failure, so drag strip isn't a good judgement either. Doing top end runs through the desert is very different from drag strip. Not to mention many cars run...

No.

Pics? Not sure what you're talking about.

Yep, did it on my car.

Sensor is the same between the lexus and stock AFM (though it's a different part number). The housing is the real difference.

Funny, most of the high end cars and race cars you mentioned use torque tubes, which is an entirely different animal... Heavy trucks run multi piece driveshafts, so your point about power has zero merit. I wish I could find the thread on here where the guy had a catastophic failure at speed...

Yet again, dumb idea as it's 2 completely different metals. Not to mention welding on the head is stupid.

reader =/= viewers They're talking about the manga. Speaking of that, I left out a good one, Battle Angel Alita (known as Gunnm in Japan). The anime is very short and good, but the manga is still going.

100+ lbs for a 2 piece? :rofl: Apparently you've never removed yours. The support bearing is holding most of the load, hence it's name. Catastrophic failure is the main reason the 2-piece was used. The bonded rear section and dampening around the center support bearing are for comfort. And...

Torqueflight is an auto, won't happen on an auto :p All manuals are prone to it. Just storing it that way usually doesn't do it unless it's worn, but if it gets an impact, stuff will move. Has to do with the detents.

Correct, it's 2.5" where it attaches to the factory elbow. The elbow is the main choke point in the system.

Don't see why it wouldn't work, an internal wastegate is an internal wastegate...

Been a number of solutions over the years. Running an external WG setup (either through a spacer on the turbo, or drilling and welding the flange to the turbine housing), shimming the wastegate actuator, helper springs (works on other internal WG setups, should work on ours), and replacing the...

What, 5 pages and still no pics? DT is going to be sad :p

Gears can shift in ways they're not supposed to, locking the transmission. The change on the slave cylinder is a 91/92 thing, one of the perks of owning a rare year :p
