wow. I'll just stop visiting the site when hungover...

go 3JZ

There is no disagreement that targas "flex" more with the roof off. The disagreement is that you can permanently deform the car chassis by driving it "hard"(this is not flex, it is permanent deformation). You will not "bend" the chassis over time from driving it hard. This would be called...

You are going to have another failure in the near future, and there is a good chance you are going to damage something else with the flywheel not sitting true to the crank. With the flywheel wobbling, you'll be putting some funky forces on the transmission input shaft as well as the #7 main...

Um...no. sure, you can feel the chassis flexing with the roof off, but that is as far as it goes. I have never EVER had a problem with the screws coming loose on the roof, and my car gets driven pretty damn hard. If you bend the chassis of the car while driving, you are doing something very...

these cars don't just twist on their own....chances are the 90 targa had been in a pretty good accident.

holy fretting damage! You are going to be hard pressed to get those parts to seat correctly for any length of time now. The fretting damage will prevent the solid engagement between the flywheel and crank surfaces, allowing movement when everything is bolted up (no matter the clamping force)...

89 year can have either the early or late model front subframe. my 89 has the earlier.

search the faq section, there should be some information on the springs in there. As far as I remember, the stock springs should have a yellow or red line painted on them.

Compression is not the same. turbo block also has piston oil squirters whereas the NA does not.

Why would you even be trying to have us diagnose your car without having simple stuff like that fixed first? I'm going to start giving half-assed answers as it seems most looking for support tend to half-ass their own work.

is the harness soldered and shrink wrapped, or does it use new pins in existing connectors?

they're likely only prone to degradation if they have experienced significant corrosion or heavy abuse. otherwise, the springs should still be good. Slight "sagging" might come from the degradation of the rubber isolator on the upper shock mount.

:rofl:

There are specific chemicals for use with aluminum. Ultrasonic cleaning also works wonders.

i don't care how much you "marked" the cps position. Did you re-install it as per the TSRM specs? If not, re-adjust and get back to us if your problem persists.

well, they do allow you to adjust the color of the mounts from stock/rusty to anodized green...

If the head is assembled, and you don't want to disassemble, all you can really do is put some elbow grease into it and clean it by hand using solvents. Use compressed air to get the shavings out of there. Do not pressure wash it. If it was apart, I'd say take it to a machine shop and have it...

6th runner. It is extremely easy to drill in to and tap. I'd avoid drilling in to the turbo at all costs.

I didn't realize oxygen in Japan was different from the rest of the world. (oxygen sensor senses OXYGEN, nothing else...why would it be different?)
