I'm going to try extra caster. I have it at the max OE spec right now. I'm also going to try to set it to the max OE toe in, right now it's near zero toe. I never touch the sauce, lol.

Still not happy with the steering in my car. I've determined that what my car is doing is probably not related to any worn suspension parts, or the fact that I've lowered the car, or the steering damper being removed. I think it's a classic case of tramlining. I can hold the steering wheel...

It only bulges like that if your dash is delaminating, and it will bulge even if the ash tray is there if that's the case. Mine looks fine.

I believe you should check your "lamp out" module. IIRC that will cause some of the rear lights to not work when it fails. They should have equipped the car with a "lamp out module out module" to let you know when the lamp out module fails. Then they would have needed a "lamp out module out...

The come with their own top hats. They are rubber mounted though, not pillow ball. Rubber mounts are better on a street car; they last longer and are quieter.

Don't do this. Unless you're going to do it while you run around with scissors. Then go ahead.

The AFC neo fits in place of the ash tray very nicely. All I did to my car today was wash 90 pounds of mud off of it from the damn parking lot at the damn bloomsburg fair. What a mess.

Haha.... The 3rd most popular page on the site is the rod knock diagnostic thread. The 5th most popular is the 2JZ swap how to thread. The rod knock page beat out the popularity of the main forum list...lol. It also seems that a ton of people view jeffs corolla page. Huh?

If you want spring spacers you can make them from 1/4" steel plate. Just use a plasma cutter or torch and cut out donuts that fit between the upper spring isolator and the upper mounts. A machine shop can probably do them out of delrin too. 1/4" spacer at the spring is equal to about 3/8" of...

There's a reason they use studs and not bolts. Bolts will loosen up. Better drill those bolt heads and safety wire them if you don't want that to happen.

For anyone doing this that doesn't have a sensor already... a 91 landcruiser has a speed sensor that screws onto the mechanical part just like that Marlin Crawler thing. I just got one up the yard. I was thinking about doing this with a mkiv speedometer. Just need to find one cheap enough to...

Wasn't this the first month of export production? The car was pretty well rusted out. It was a hardtop non-turbo W58 with pretty much no options added.

Find someone parting out a car or try some self service junkyards. There are plenty of junk supras out there. Also the proper name for it is the steering intermediate shaft, according to what I understood from the toyota parts system anyway. Ever since they took all the pictures offline it's...

I just got some Korean sweet seaweed to try... I haven't opened it yet though. I know it's not a food, but D&G Jamaican Ginger Beer..... oh man. That stuff is good. I have to stop myself after two bottles because it has so much sugar in it (more than Mountain Dew). You have to get the real...

Most people think our cars are FWD already just because they're a Toyota.

I was digging at the junkyard and found a 91' Landcruiser has a speed sensor that threads on between the speedometer cable and the speedometer drive on the transmission. It's a 3 wire sensor just like the MKIV speedometer uses. I bought it. I also found a brand new OEM speedometer cable in a...

I saw a car that someone recoated the trim with spray bedliner. It actually looked really nice. That's what I plan to try on mine now that my first idea of using wide electrical tape is peeling off from the sun.

Haha. I got stuck once because of one of those cheap ass blockoff caps.

I found out that people have swapped the MKIV speedometer in there, and Marlin Crawler makes a sensor that fits onto the trans for the VSS signal since the A340 sensor I had doesn't fit (although I swear I had one at the shop that did fit... from some sort of toyota, possibly from one of the...
