I just did the driver's side hub, the tie rod came off easily enough with a tie rod fork & 5lb hammer. DONT hit the threaded section unless you plan to replace the entire outer tie rod, which ISN'T a bad idea if it's original. As for the spindle itself, you have a fun time getting that out of...
No real news lately except purchases....
Bought a 130amp alternator, set of BBC springs for the valves, new oil pressure sender, bought into the Probe piston group buy, and just picked up a Kaminari whale tail(always loved it's subtelty over the Bomex version).
Will have new pics up this week...
OK- that is awesome. I was thinking that the future of the valvetrain would have some sort of slide-valve technology, to get rid of the up-down reciprocating mass, but roller valves? Brilliant.
Here's the deal:
Back about a year ago, I went to an auto parts store to get a turbo alternator. Inventory showed that they actually had two of them on the shelf, so I got one, went outside and bolted it in. Then I realized it was a nonturbo alternator, in a turbo box. Undoubtedly, someone like...
LMAO! That's not a vibration problem- that's just the Supra trying to shed some of the shit bolted to it!
J/K- couldn't help myself...:naughty:
Hey- Did you resurface the flywheel before putting the new clutch in? Generally, a clutch will chatter if it's bolted to an uncut flywheel, at least...
No, just a little bigger, but I've got an FPR line right behind it, and I didn't want things to squeezed together back there. I read that it'll fit with no real mods at all.
Um, I didn't get the impression that hes was trying to remove it, just add a switch that allows disabling when desired, as well as the fact that it's supposedly going to be a rally car. Maybe someone can tell me- Do race cars-aka- NASCAR, CART, Formula 1- use ABS? I've never heard.
PS-...
I just ordered the 130amp alternator from Egay.
I imagine it is simply a rewound, stock alternator, or maybe they use a different type of regulator or IC's. I had planned on doing the MR2 alternator, but didn't want to deal with squeezing that oversize badboy in there with the fuel plumbing I have.
[Michael Jackson music in the backround...]
That bolt is really stuck- it's simply not fair-
It's supposed to be removed but it don't seem to care
You better hit it up with more than just cold air, so-
Heat it. Just heat it.
I'm sorry- I was bored.
ANYWAY- Use a propane torch to warm it up
