Thanks guys. I'll call you David. I'm going to marry the powertrain to chassis soon.... as a get a chance to.

Gravity. What... we can't trust gravity now?

According to the master of plans that was supposed to be foolproof. Seriously, four guys pushing, one with camera, and a girl driving........ not one of these idiots think that this was a bad idea??? I bet you the guy with the vid recorder thought it was. That's why he had to get...

Took my baby out and gave her a good rub down. I was going to drop the engine/tranny in today, but got caught up doing some honey do's. Power washing the driveway and back patio. Other good stuff too. Here's some pics.

Did you happen to read his last post?

You already gave me one.

Is why I'm asking what kind of basecoat and clear it is. And what's with that red car back there. Who did that body molding and paint work on it?

I'm trying to stay out of this because the last time I commented on somebody's paint they got a little butthurt about it. Then half of his groupies ganged up on me, so leave me out. Is this your first time painting? You need to read the MSDS on that basecoat to see how long you can leave it...

That's cool. I'm going to take mine in to Blance Radiator Service to get boiled out. I'm assuming they're going to acid dip it and remove all of the rust. I'm just afraid there's going to be a few pinholes that's going to put this tank out of commission. We'll see soon.

Ok, so stripped the fuel tank so I can take it to get cleaned out. It is super rusty inside. Does anyone have a fuel cell for sale locally just in case they tell me mine is no good? Check out the rust on the old fuel pump & hanger. That's what the inside of my tank looks like. This tank...

Can we get a "FAIL" pic? Nothing to be ashamed of.

Let me see what my schedule looks like and I might be able to help with that touch up. I'll get back with you on that soon. BTW, where are you going on your vacation? Oh, and is that DM 67mm turbo CT26 based, or a T4? What was I thinking? You have a 1J. I see it's a T04Z. Looks like...

You probably just forgot to connect one of your ground wires. Make sure they're all clean too. Might want to take some 180grit sandpaper to the surfaces of the contact areas then bolt it down.

Every Maaco, Earl Sheib, Econo Paint, and other cheap ass places like that have the ability to do the job correctly and use very high quality paints. You're going to pay for it though. They lure you in with their $299 complete car special, and if that's what you want then that's what you're...

Thanks for the tips guys. I'm going to check out that ebay link.

I've been looking at stainless lines and fittings on some popular performance sites. I will need a special flange for the oil return that bolts to the block right?

What have you guys done for oil feed and return for your T4 turbo? What size lines? Are you running a restrictor? I'm not trying to break the bank on some pretty lines. I want something functional, and reasonable in price. Thanks for any advice.

Cool, thanks. Ok, I took the trans off today and put that circle thingy in. Bolted down the trans & starter. I torqued down the pressure plate to flywheel bolts at 14lb/ft. That's what TSRM calls for. That seems kinda low, but I did it according to the specs. Fork and slave cylinder is on...

No it doesn't specify, and it's a genuine toyota part. I believe it is the flattest side to the flywheel.

lol, you mean it doesn't just sit on top of the trans like that? So I noticed my SSAC manifold looks to be a little warped. I knew I was going to have to take it in to get milled flat. I took it up the street to Millers to have them check it out. Sure enough it's warped. They said to...
