Got the wheel bearings replaced and that did not make one bit of difference other than knowing my wheels won't be wobbling around and falling off now. That horrible buzzing/bearing roar was still there. I had already had it scheduled for the transmission shop to fix a leak which turned out to...

Well I got the new diff in and wow what a difference. The driveline feels very tight now....but...with new things, old worn out things become very noticeable. Both wheel bearing are shot so I ordered new ones and the shop called today and its ready but I won't be able to pick it up until Tuesday...

Good information. I have been thinking I may need to replace my rack as well but need to do further investigation though. I have significant slack in the steering that showed up immediately after replacing my engine a couple of years ago. I had planned to drop the subframe to replace the...

A little update. I just said fuck it and bought a rebuilt diff from Piratetip. It should be here tomorrow. I also put a new center bearing on my two piece driveshaft and had it professionally balanced and I will be re-installing that with the new diff and removing the one piece drive shaft. I...

Lookin good!!!

:wavey: How goes it Jay?! I'm still lurking. I need to update my build thread but it's just too depressing :nono: I've had diff issues out the wazoo!

Well last year I was not able to drive the Supra to Vegas due to multiple issues, which all of those that existed then have been taken care of. This year I swore I would have it ready for this years Supras in Vegas but since I leave tomorrow and there's still a problem, it looks like I'll be...

Did the steering damper come with the new rack? I'd like to find one if the dampers are available without having to buy a whole rack n pinion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh I cannot say a big enough FUCK YOU to Photobucket. They want $399/year for third party hosting. Hell no.

My steering damper is completely blown. Do you know of anybody who rebuilds those or is there any comparable part number that will ffit it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Stock boost is around 6.8lbs. You should torque head bolts to 72 ft/lbs for a stock application. Do not use any kind of block sealer. Just don't. I'm having trouble understanding your post but after washing your engine it's missing? Then you took out the spark plugs and found coolant in the...

I was there and stared at this car a lot!! The song Jizz in my Pants kept running through my mind. Ken's car and several others made me ashamed I had to drive my very non supra Mercedes to Vegas. I would've won the distance award had I been able to drive mine dammit.

Oops sorry. I did get my engine back finally and have it almost ready to go back in which is good because I leave for Vegas a week from today so with my work days excluded, I have 4 days to get the engine/trans in, the one piece driveshaft and my new HKS exhaust. Then I just have to hope and...

At least you have some help. I have none. Doing all of this solo.

Jay I've had back, neck x 2, and a shoulder surgery. You have no excuse not to have that 2J in your car haha. Gitter done! Well maybe wait till it cools off a little. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well I had to admit defeat and say fuck it. I was going to replace the front subframe bushings but will do so at some other point in time. I did get it lowered but with the heat, mosquitos and all the aches of my 47 yr old body I just threw in the towel. However, I did replace the upper control...

Yep. You'll notice I did NOT remove the ac compressor with the engine. It'll make putting the engine back in a little more difficult, especially if I have to do it alone, but didn't want to have to have the system evacuated and blah blah blah. I did get the new speedo cable in. Today I'm...

If your thermostat housing looks like this then try unplugging the middle sensor (the one with white tape in the picture). Mine is bulging out and sometimes the fan comes on and unplugging that turns it off. New sensor on the way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
