if you think a mk3 is bad after driving one of those, hop in virtually any re-built car from the 60's-70's and you will have a new appreciation of the supra. The reason so many things feel different is because it is a 20 year old car with 20 year old parts! I've had 2 '89s, one with 160k kms...

shit....at the rate I'm going, my car is still going to be an empty shell when that weekend rolls around...maybee next year.

um, have you confirmed that both low beams haven't just burned out?

where did you get the impression that the cams are made of soft aluminum? pick one up...and you will figure out that you are holding a piece of steel.

best 8 months of my life.

a few pictures from today: re-finished front subframe w/new lower control arms more control arm mk4 rear vs mk3 rear brakes the new parts room (unimpressive, yes...many parts are boxed)

i like that idea...hopefully that is all I will need. edit: so you are saying that toyota's reccomended plastic hammer won't cut it to remove the driveshafts? lol

I spent 4 hours with my parts car and an angle grinder and cut out the entire floor pan. My body guy took care of the rest.

i tried the impact wrench on it for a little while and got absolutely nowhere. I think I might have to fab up a steel plate to bolt the diff side of the axle to and go about it that way.

First order of business: subframes. assembling the front and rears right now in retrospect, not removing the 32mm axle bolts while the car was together was a mistake. Not sure how I'm gonna secure the half shaft to break 207lb-ft + 18 years of corrosion.

including the cost of the car, roughly 22k has been spent so far. There is still probably 4k to be spent before the car gets put back together, and then another 2ish if I deem it necessary to upgrade the turbo...which I probably will.

the effectiveness of sway bars is based upon torsional stiffness - adding anything that does not create a rigid bond with the inside of the tubing is useless, it is just adding extra weight. Either go for solid bars or thicker walled, larger diameter ones.

my suggestion would be to use an alloy spring steel, something like a 6150.

1995 Toyota 4runner with ABS has a 1 1/16 bore and the correct ports - this is what I'll be going with

none for now. I'm home from Australia/New Zealand/Tokyo in a week so things should pick up soon.

if somebody wants to send one to me, I'll tell you what it is...might cost you a manifold though :)

what new laptop has a 2gb hd? I think you may have misread...hell, many flash memory cards are greater than 2gb.

what happened, did the cheap supra owner in you rear its ugly head? (don't deny it - the cheap supra owner exists in all of us)

The stock master cylinder itself has a 1 on it as well...

if you've cut the rubber off already, get some vise-grips and clamp the screws. You should be able to put enough force into them to get them out....or bend the sheet metal trying. FWIW, yes, those are a super bitch to remove - I think i removed 3 and let my body guy deal with the last one
