if somebody really wants to know...and I mean bad...you can send me a sample of body steel from a parts car, and I will tell you. (using XRF spectroscopy)
it is exactly what it sounds like. Increased pressure (thus leg effort) is required to disengage the clutch (higher pressure plate clamp load) - this can bend the firewall and not fully disengage the clutch for the same "apparent" clutch pedal movement.
for those wondering about carbon and kevlar together, like clip said, they are both fibres, and they can be interwoven and overlapped to gain the desired part properties (impact/tensile/compressive/etc) when combined with a specific resin.
Toyota set is actually pretty cheap. You can't get the front lower control arm bushings separate though... (i've got an entire set of new toyotas on my car, including new front control arms - i think it came to about $550)
The difference between the non-abs and abs hubs are that the hole for the abs sensor is not drilled out of the casting on the non-abs hubs. If you want to completely remove the ABS, you can get the lines from a non-abs car, remove the ABS pump, clip the wires from the wheel sensors and it will...
there is a good chance that your problem is the starter contacts. If your car won't start, try boosting it with a running car. If it starts, that is a good indication that your starter contacts are toast, not your starter.
You would nitride the crank, not the block. Nitriding is a surface hardening treatment applied to steel in order to increase wear resistance, fatigue resistance, and corrosion resistance.
By the way, the block is cast iron. You do not nitride cast iron.
