    AC delete thread

    There are very few Mk3's that don't leak water inside the cabin... this alone makes the AC well worth repairing as soon as you put the heater on in Winter you're sitting in a Sauna and can't see shit, AC on windows clear in seconds = :)

    Thinking about 2uz swap in a 89 mkiii

    1UZ "might" be cheap for a base engine, anything above that is a joke price wise, I'm involved with 2 of them at the moment in a Bud's cars, 1 is a 112 blown SC400 the other an NA 1Uz with a 650e in an early Cressida, can't say I'm overly impressed with either.. (I've been doing the majority of...

    All well and good but some of his "information" in other threads has been wrong...If I'd realised he was a 2nd year I'd have laughed it off as a joke and not bothered replying... Sure I'm cranky, can't help it after 10 years of knownothingdouchebags thinking everything is "easy" after...

    The "Danger" factor has stopped me going ahead with it, it's remote here and if I screw the pooch I'll probably croak before I can get to town ;) (ended up at the ER 3 times since I moved here)

    Thinking about 2uz swap in a 89 mkiii

    What have you actually done that's of note? I built and ran one of the most highly developed 7M's for roughly 13 years, had 25K in engine management alone, wrenched on a real Group A team back in the late 80's. My history is quite well known here I've spent the best part of 10 years...

    How many pounds of boost can you run on a (mostly) stock 7M-GTE SAFELY?

    "How long is a piece of string".... Toyota specced an asbestos based HG way back, it required 58ft/lbs, they changed to a non asbetos gasket but didn't address the fact it needed more clamp to achieve the same seal. As for the Rod Bolts, if you change them the rods need resizing, if...

    Ride Tech air ride?

    Downside with AirSuspension is once you jack the car up higher the spring rate increases and there goes any comfort, even at normal ride height it's going to have a much stiffer rate than stock so most shocks aren't going to cope and you end up with a Pogo Stick ride.
