lol, my car has had a ton of body work done to the rear quarters, but I know the way it was done. That part of the quarter panel was not touched, and I think it would be more noticeable had it warped significantly from welding. I guess I'll have to wait and see until the next time I'm out at...

a tad shorter would be ~5 mm, not visibly noticeable when the cars are side-by-side. Although, I can't see why toyota would manufacture two different sets of slightly different tail lights. (tooling and mold-making = spendy)

see if there is any gap between the tail light and quarter panel. A high-res picture would probably answer this better for me.

rinse with a petroleum solvent, not water. Also, air the tank out for a day before doing anything, this should provide enough time for the fuel/solvent to evaporate. Clean things up with a magnet and then solvent.

thats what I'm thinking. I may have to dig up a USDM tail light and do some measuring.

no, nothing has shrunk, there is approximately 3 mm clearance between the end of the tail light and the quarter panel.

Does anybody know if there is a difference in length of the 89+ tail lights based upon chassis (GA/MA series)? The reason I ask is that I have a set of JDM 89+ tails (not the dark ones) and they seem to be a bit short. Now, I can't recall exactly how snugly the tail lights fit when I removed...

that's a strange thing to say...

shit, i feel bad about scratching a fitting when installing it because someone might notice...I've never seen somebody use a hose clamp on a braided hose before. I do want to see pictures, however...

For a competent welder, this should be easy. For somebody that thinks they are a good welder but does things like cool off freshly welded parts by dunking them in water, this could be a nightmare.

Nothing wrong with that price. Hell, i bought a set of new fno1r-cs with tires for $1500 and thought I got a hell of a deal.

The word is encrusted. It is unlikely that the wheels were looking after diamonds for somebody. That, and what the hell is wrong with wheels and new tires for $800? Last I checked, tires aren't free.

Do a google search for instructions on how to assemble aeroquip/AN hoses - there are plenty of sites with information on how to install the hose fittings.

that would be a case of function ahead of form.

I used POR-15 rust paint as a base layer with a topcoat of chassiscoat black (2 coats each). The finish is extremely durable and is UV safe. edit: the subframes were sandblasted prior to painting.

Mine is currently sitting on the engine stand full of oil...

I'm waiting for a rain-induced powerslide into something solid

how I feel.

learn how to spell douche...douche.

that is a giant hot side....
