they're aluminum. i hear ya. i live way north in cali. the closest place for me is three hours away on this hell road to redding. or 5 hours away to santa rosa on our wonderful 101 hw. i called the place in santa rosa and they wanted 100 per wheel just to remove the chrome. i'm thinking...

i have a set of cobra rims that the chrome is peeling off. i was hoping to find a good way to remove it. there isn't a chrome shop around here that can remove it properly. i have heard of so many different ways like sandblasting, bleach, oven cleaner, brake fluid, purple power, using a torch but...

sorry but i don't buy it. both the tranny and engine in my mk3 have been built by me. i have a good amount of experience though. to tell someone over the internet that rebuilding a transmission is something the average joe car guy can do is just misleading/

um........i wouldn't make it out to be that easy. most guys don't have press, vice, variety of snapring pliers, bearing spliters, vblocks, large bench space, let alone the understanding/knowledege needed to do a successful rebuild. jusk like if some noob goes to rebuild a engine with out any...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats news to me. he was the master at finding supra parts. :: wah :: when all the local chp's know you and your supra. when as you pass 100ft+ black strips of rubber that you've layed down you get a big grin on...

i'm pretty sure you put a wrench right here.

lookin good. where did you get the brake set-up?

i don't know if i missed it but how many miles have you put on the T61 paradox?

WOW. being able to drive over to IJ's house for a hand is so cool. we're all so jealous of you paradox. :biglaugh:

AWESOME!!!!! love to see that you guys go out and enjoy your cars. its a clear sunny day down here and i'm just about to take mine out. :biglaugh:

i'm glad everybody like it. first time i watched them i LMAO.

^OMG!!!!! just use a stock hg already. felpro, ishno, or oem w/arps will be just fine. and i agree anytime you tear down a block get ready to whip out a grip of cash...

why did you have your block sitting around like that without the oil pan?

i'm betting it will be fine. try to imagine what all those jdm engines go through on their trip to the states. first they get yanked out at the scrapyard and if you have seen how those guys work they don't really give a shit about the parts they pull off. then they cram shipping containers full...

my buddy has this kit on hit 88t. other than he got it off ebay from cxracing i think. its the same thing. its fitment is pretty good. my only complaint is how the ic outlet is on the other side. not ideal for a stockish 7m set-up.

if they have enough meat on them have the machine shop polish the bearing journals to get rid of the scuffs.

^put it in park and the parking paw should keep it from spinning. set the e-brake though too.

all i can say is be careful. because when they do catch you its a pain in the ass to swap all your mods back to stock. i guess it sorta depends on the setup but yeah. no fun especially when you have to drive 3 hours to the ref station and get a hotel room cause they only had an appointment at...
