Energy suspension bushings are the least expensive option available if you're going aftermarket, and they're certainly cheaper as a set than oem.

Congrats on all your work. And I see ALOT of opinions and advice on "which way to go" with your build... 1JZ, 2JZGE..WTF? You're doing it right, dude. Get it running on the 7mge, and enjoy it! Then if you want to upgrade to a 7mgte later, you can build one up while you have a running car. I...

Firesleeve. Use what you will for the actual hose, then firesleeve it. It's what race teams and aircraft manufacturers use. I used it for the oil cooler lines on my MR2.

You can buy a brand new cps plug from Driftmotion. $5.00.

Yes, there is a ring gear- it's bolted to the other half of the unit, not shown in the pics. and yes-the LSD is held in by two bearing caps.

Yes, or they make a special paint in red , yellow and prussian blue.

Just to show what I've been doing: Installed a Weir Performance "maxgrip" kit, stage 1. Basically all it is, is a set of various spacer shims, and an additional "assist" spring, which mounts inside the original spring, to increase tension. The new breakaway torque should be around 100ft-lbs...

Gotta go to Spain during the first week of September, so I'm hoping any meet will be a bit later than that.

Nevermind, guys- I found the problem: Old front pinion bearing, "new" front bearing... The new one is obviously the incorrect part(thanks, Rockauto), as it is at least 5mm too shallow.

Hey guys- I'm trying to reassemble my spare diff, using a solid shim spacer. My problem is that while I'm trying to properly shim for preload on the pinion, it seems like the pinion flange(where the driveshaft bolts to) is bottoming out on the differential case! I don't understand how this...

really? nobody's ever filled or repaired their urethane bumpers??

I did notice one small problem from the newer style trim- When you spray the windshield with washer fluid and your windows are open, it's coming inside. The oem style's raised edge prevented this from happening to some extent. Not that this is a huge problem, of course.

Dear Lord, I hope this turns out well for you.

Hey guys- I have some gouges in my header panel, as a result of sun damage. They look like someone pulled a comb through the top of the urethane, and made some ~1mm scratches in it. I was wondering- can a polyester bodyfiller be used, and would it stick, or do I have to worry about reaction...

Good job!

Are you ECU grounds connected under the intake above the starter???

a guess would be a boost leak, obviously.

Since we're talking MR2's, this is what I did to mine:

Datalogging, nitrogen coilovers, AEM EMS...and stock brake calipers? Seems like you'd want more stopping power than stock.

That sensor going to the back of the tranny is either the reverse light switch, or the abs sensor. And make sure there is a good ground between the engine and the chassis, otherwise electricity will start finding more expensive paths to take.
