on an N/A you shouldn't have to remove the clutch fork, it's a different type of release setup than the turbo version. the N/A's use a push type, and the clutchfork/throw out bearing setup is the last thing in the tranny, and when you pull the tranny apart from the motor, you should be able to...

shift fast anyway;) -shaeff

you don't even need the whole tach, but just the driver board. i just bought a turbo tach board from Jeff Lange (i believe it was him) and popped it in there. 2-3 wires, a few screws and you're done. ;) -shaeff

perhaps the sensor in the resivour is stuck half mast. -shaeff

to check for rodknock: pull plug wire #1, start car, still hear the noise? shut off car, plug it back in. do the same for the rest of them, pulling one at a time. if the noise doesn't go away, then it's not rodknock. if it does when you pull one of the wires, that's the cylander you have...

i'm assuming you're talking about the '89+ mounts, right? a lot of the 1jz guys do this. :) if not, then carry on! (well, carry on anyway, as i'm interested in any information you can provide. :)) -shaeff

bishop, i've relocated my oil filter to the passenger side tow hook, and am running an 11x8 B&M oil cooler, and 180* B&M thermostat. would i hook that up to the relocation kit near my tow hook? or right off the block. there's not much room off the block, as the lower I/C pipe is right there, and...

hey suprabad, long time no see! welcome back. :) when i hook up my oil temp gauge, i'm going to drill a hole in the drain plug, and locate it there. :) (always in the oil) -shaeff

the '91-'92 door panels are identical to all other door panels, except that the opening for the speaker is just wider. (you can do this yourself with some metal snips of some sort. CRE, if you look on ebay, they pop up quite often. i can't bring myself to buy them when my erector set works...
