It fits, it works. You can't grease it unless you disconnect the shaft and bend the yoke out of the way, but I never greased the original joint and it lasted 25 years. The u-joint clips will work to hold it in. They actually fit perfectly. I staked it too, just to be safe. I've heard the OEM...

You can wire up the low oil sender to a light. Might be nice to know early in case your oil pan gets punctured or you get some major leak that drops your oil level fast.

I was a little off, they make a couple hundred ft-lbs though, about 400ft-lbs from what I figured out in my head (5.42 final, 3.09 1st gear ratio and 20ft-lbs of engine torque roughly). Your Supra makes well over 1,500 ft-lbs of torque at the axles though. Torque is multiplied by the trans and...

I have a feeling I'm being talked about in a thread just like this one on another website. I'm usually the guy who won't race some other car. Unless the road is dry, I'm in a good mood, there's no traffic, the other car is worth it, and it's an area I'm reasonably sure is clear of police...

I didn't get the one I ordered yet, but here's the pic from the website. It's a press fit joint, the ATV one uses internal c-clips which may or may not be any use on the steering shaft. I'm not going to use them, I'll be staking it in place the same way the old joint was held in. Our original...

See post 18 and 19 for a better and possibly cheaper solution to this. I found out that the u-joints in our steering column and steering shaft are the same dimensions as the u-joints used for the driveshaft on a Kawasaki KLF300 Bayou 300 4x4 (years 89-04). Dimensions are 16mm cap OD, 40MM...

The Chevy Corvette has been running different wheel diameters for years. They ran a 17" front with an 18" rear for a while then stepped up to a 18" front with a 19" rear. When you increase diameter of the overall tire you also increase the length of the contact patch. The goal is to make the...

The rear springs are softer than the front. When you sit in the car they sink down more. If you have the car setup to sit level with nobody in it then it will sit lower in the back than the front once you sit in it (and it will sit really low and bottom out constantly in the rear if you put...

PPS racks have a solenoid on the side of the top where the hoses go into it. If you have PPS, keep it. Don't swap to an older rack. I don't know if it's even possible, but it's not worth even trying.

A bad slave cylinder will leak fluid out. If it's not leaking, it's not bad. A bad clutch master cylinder can cause what you're describing. So can a bad pressure plate (but that's rare). So can air in the system. Clutch systems can be very difficult to bleed and there is more than one...

If you stroke a 1JZ, it will sound like a 2JZ. Because a 2JZ is basically a stroked 1JZ. A stroked 1JZ isn't going to impress anyone; most people will still see it to be substandard to a 2JZ. People tend to heckle 1.5JZ builds as being pointless already, doing the same thing via a more expensive...

Yeah I'm running 8.0 degrees caster now, it did help. Still a bit hairy, but tolerable. I plan to mess with some steering rack mods in the spring.. play around with spool valve changes. Taka21, changing caster without changing camber... that doesn't require anything out of the ordinary. The...

Not everyone is rich, some of us have to budget and spend our money on the important parts first, then worry about the rest of the car. A hood liner is not important. It saves the paint and reduces noise... that's it. Yeah, whatever Toyota charges for parts for a 25 year old car is fair...

If you have the correct sensor head you can just use any MAF housing it will fit into and tune it with a SAFC. All you need to do is set the SAFC to stay on the low map and use vF tuning to tune the map. Google "toyota vF" if you want to know how to vF tune. Basically all you're doing there...

It's pretty tight, it depends on how good you are at fabricating stuff I guess.

I'd delete this thread if I were you, or ask a mod to move it.

Is your driveshaft installed? Because if it's not the fluid drag in the transmission will spin the output shaft (and speedometer cable) even if the shifter is in neutral. If that's the case then your speedometer is working normally, and not like a tach. Get a turbo cluster and see if the tach...

Doing a job multiple times will definitely cut the time down. I can change the clutch in this car in 45 minutes now. I know all the torque specs by heart, lol. I'm hoping to never be that familiar with dashboard removal.

I don't know about everyone else... but these are the ugliest ford probes I have ever seen.

Only one way to know for sure.... tear it out and pull the cases off.
