ripped er off... there was oil on the inside of the bellhousing and on the shaft??
thought it was all supposed to be dry in there

rear main is dead most likly

Still having coolant problems. What headgasket should I go with on an n/a? a Fel-pro? stock bolts? 72ft/lbs?

arp studs and bolts
i've heard the stock toyota one is a great headgasket
but the fel pro is ok too
if u get the gasket kit from toyota you'll get every dam gasket you'll need while you are in there

Not really going for the bling parts on the N/A, Looking for a turbo motor to rebuild instead but in the mean time I need my car haha.

just get one that is cheep and do it right and you will have no issues

The "Topline" gasket set on ebay is like $90, think il just go with that, The motor needs valve cover gaskets, valve stem seals and a timing belt anyway. Theres also a set made by "Stone" I hear they are decent quality too, $80 for that set.

Its perfectly fine to torque the stock bolts down to 72ft/lbs though right?

just get one form world pack or some thing since you live in mill bay go to malahat auto and auto a gasket kit form them

that kit is good and has every thing you need and price very fair

still need help with your struts and springs? I can come over to Ryan's place and lend a hand (done them on my car way too many times ;) ). Besides, somebody needs to whip Ryan into working on his car!

yea i still gotta do it...im goin into lordco to get some front struts this week but im busy on the weekend...im fine to just use kyb g2's with my lowering springs right?..and does sumtime next week work for u guys?

next week sure i guess



kyb yae you can use em there better ones out there thou if you don't have tight buject

well i already have the rear kyb's...i could take em back if it was really worth it..but if these will work i guess il keep em

Bilstein and Eibach is the classic supra setup. I've run tokico blues but with shitty intrax springs...I'm sure KYB's are fine, they are pretty popular. But hot damn Lordco charges you through the nose for performance parts.

I finally decided to bite the bullet and bought a set of used Tein HAs from Japan. I think with all the shipping they came to $700?

really i getting set of new set of jic's when that day comes around

kyb's are tad soft compared to tokio bules or blistain

JIC2's are awesome, the quality is really good. I didn't buy those simply because the spring rates are so high.

If I were to do it again and build a more sporty/track car, I'd probably go with Cuscos. The half set I had were top notch and weighed next to nothing.

jic does have the lux line nice and cumfy yet sporty but i havbe not herd much reviews on them

have some audio stuff im not using, looking for some wheels/tires or interesting Supra stuff.

two JL W0 10" subs, no box.
Alpine MRP350 mono block amp
cheap wiring kit.
Soundstream 6x9's

also have a 3" stainless test pipe laying around, useless for my n/a.

Chris?? You still in Vic??

- Rick

how long and how much $?

just build an exhaust system toby that will be fun day

looks like another shifter sold eh? how many left now?

ordered the front struts from lordco yesterday..they were only 75 bucks a piece with my discount...the same that i paid for the rear ones obv...they said tehy should either be here tomorrow or on monday..so what day works best for u ryan? monday? tues? wednesday?...this weekend im goin to paint the springs and shit..what kinda paint should i use just to bomb them?..arnt they dipped in a paint with plasitc or sumthing?

Man, hey Rick! Yeah, still in Vic. How about you?

Wes, do you really want to paint the springs? What kind are they? Spray paint just flakes off...and you can't see them anyways.

fi you want to paint them use trimclade rust paint shit will never come off take a bit to dry


you will find it at crappy tire in the houseware paint section

they all way's hide the good stuff


and yesterday i was going to park on your hood at the theater but i felt like being nice heheh


as for time if chris want's to drop on over it up to him since i have all the time in the world

thats the paint I used on my yota frame, been holding up for 2+ years and I just brushed it on right over the dirty shitty undercoat and rust.
