Was the plate travel non-linear before? It looks the way the black piece was slotted into the silver one that were made to swing the silver piece faster as you get closer to WOT. I see that kind of thing on a lot of cars.

yeah I'm working on using a colorado AR5 in my car.. you'll have to pick up a pilot bearing from mcmaster-carr or something. getting the shifter in the right spot is also a problem I still have to solve... it's a little more complicated with the colorado trans than the solstice one.

what wheels are those? they look a lot like mine. btw I've bought an 87 and 89, and a random mix of other parts.

made me lol

wow, that is disgusting.

hey, while we're at it, anyone else make any music? here is a drum and bass style thing I worked on recently: http://sentience.rh.rit.edu/dnb.mp3 and some older music: http://sentience.rh.rit.edu/downloads that's all electronic stuff.

hanging out with my buddy's parrot at a holloween party without a costume, but with my favorite shirt :)

the sound of my friend brandons 1uz-fe starting up in a video he sent me earlier today. hey, it's music to my ears. (going in a '92 toyota 2wd extra cab pickup, replacing a 7m-ge)

I've been reading William Gibson books recently. Neuromancer, Count Zero Interrupt, Mona Lisa Overdrive, and now Spook Country.

Hey guys, I got a hold of a really old toyota, I mean oooold, and it's still in great shape. It's been indoors for most of it's life so nothings really had a chance to corrode. It's not a Supra but there's a lot of knowledgable people here so I figured you could help me in picking out...

a real man would resurface it freehand with an angle grinder... to an RA of 30

That's a good point about the seal. I did a bit more work on suspension stuff. *dead links* My adjust bolts finally got shipped from the dealer. There's not a lot left to do suspension-wise besides painting steel stuff with por15 and putting it all back together. I hope everyone who looks at...

Well, I think I'm going to get the r154 tail housing, and then see whether it's easier to move the shifter location on this housing or extend the r154 housing somehow. I'm not worried about needing a different driveshaft as I was going to either get a one-piece or a custom two-piece anyways...

I got some measurements of the housing. It's almost exactly 14" from the sandwich plate out to the tip of the output shaft. I'm also sure now that this tail housing puts the shifter too far forward. http://sentience.rh.rit.edu/pics/trans1.jpg http://sentience.rh.rit.edu/pics/trans2.jpg...

Sorry to go OT: but is anyone else hoping for one of these in their stocking? http://www.race-cars.com/engsales/other/1200038700/1200038700ss.htm :)

Oops, wrong. Ceramic coating piston heads, cumbustion chambers, valves, exhaust ports, etc has all been done. The benefits I can think of, though some might be negligable: Increased thermal efficiency of combustion cooler pistons (a good thing; the point of oil squirters) and valves reduction...

I appreciate it. I'll have to get that measurement when I'm back in town for christmas. (This project is on a super-relaxed schedule thanks to me being in school and/or working ~200 miles away most of the time.)

Thanks cj, I'm sure I'll have some questions. I've been following your thread and it's been helpful. Since this transmission is out of a 2WD Colorado as opposed to the Solstice (only documented AR5 into A70 I know of,) I wasn't sure how the shifter would line up. From looking at it I think...

pictures of car, engine, etc: *dead links* note the hole where what I believe is a factory sunroof goes. the parts recycler and my new AR5 trans with only 30k on it: note hydraulic release bearing. and unrelated: *dead links to 99 3rz tacoma pics* my DD that I saved from a flood...
