Definitely use loctite on the flywheel bolts. I think the pressure plate bolts come with lock washers?

Sure, give it a try! Measure about 8 in from your stock location. That's where the shifter will be with a stock solstice trans.

Thanks for all the compliments guys!

Yah, it's getting 4WD! Frame sections FTW.

That and the 7M is coming out. I've had it with my engine. It can sit and think about what it's done while I work on my Mazda.

Try Dawn dishsoap. The grease melts away and you aren't left with that gritty feeling that other soaps have.

Performance: This should be easy enough to evaluate with some old Car and Driver Magazines. However, I think you may be dissappointed. Though the old Camaros and Mustangs where piles of shit, they were still decently quick. Driveability: Tough to evaluate, I don't think you'll find many...

Lol, my car isn't going anywhere for a while. If you want to borrow my setup for some "capacity testing" I'm game :)

Lol @ the thrust washer. If it's the AR5 design, it'll have the triple-cone synchros. Jeff, do you have a way of deterimining the input shaft length? Dr, just curious. I'm pretty much stuck with what i got.

At least 2005 and newer, maybe more. I think it's mated to the 2.7.

I'm working on this as well. Option 1: advance adapter bellhousing, chevy flywheel, toyota clutch disk, chevy clutch housing Option 2: novak adapter, chevy everything else Both options require a custom pilot bearing. And you have some options on flywheels, clutch sizes, throwout...

Anybody know about the R155 transmission in newer tacomas? Looks like an evolution of the R150, as 2-4 gears are the same ratio. This could be an honest Toyota version of the Aisin AR5.

Greg, looks like the solstice is about 4" further than the Soarer. BTW, where'd you dig up that pic? I'd never seen that before!

Yep, M12 x 1.5. Style depends on the rim.

Blah, indeed! I'd be embarassed to drive the thing out of my driveway. My goal for the summer was to drive the Supra to Woodward. I did, but on the way home I made a lot of enemies. I make cropdusters look like childsplay. Where you at on the beast?

So, it's pretty obvious at this point that it's in, eh? The good news: It shifts like a dream. Like a honda. I like the extra gear in first. Gets me moving. I say the gear ratios are just fine for a heavy 7m powered car. The bad news: The engine runs like shit, and I'm blowing...

Rebuilt engine, no this is not irrelevant:

Under car pics:

In car. The only clue it ain't an R154 is the shift feel:

More pics. The Solstice driveshaft and flange I didn't use:
