    Cassette Tape in Engine Bay... wtf?

    Off subject we have gone lol but yes you are right on both accounts... I am for sure not anti-military or anti-killing if the situation calls for it, but I have a hard time supporting butting our nose into other people's business... who made the USA the hall monitor of the world??? The money and...

    Dyno Day in Eastern WA

    It was a clean and very nice looking truck, so I will not take anything away from the awesome job this guy did with his truck... I will add one comment that I saw on someone's sig (can't find it) But it said something like: "Japanese Muscle - because I like to go around corners fast too"...

    EGR B/O kit - EGR Cooler plate removal / modification????

    Thank You! They are Foose Speeds... I was not sure if I would like them, but once they were on the car I loved them... My next go around with this car, it is a DD (35k a year) I figure another 5 years I would like to do a frame up re-build, then go to an AEM stand-alone like you are doing...

    EGR B/O kit - EGR Cooler plate removal / modification????

    LOL Yeah if you are going stand-alone definitely a different story... So back to your 1st question... IMO I would use both BOPs (head on exhaust side and Plenum) and remove the cooler, as I personally think it would gather heat in that area if it had no where to go...

    EGR B/O kit - EGR Cooler plate removal / modification????

    What he said... IMO after extensive reading on this forum and some additional articles in relation to the Toyota EGR system and after buying the block off kit from Drift Motion and mind you installing them... I pulled them back off and put my EGR system back before completing the motor. The...

    Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

    I think your highest risk will be front rubbing on inner wheel well when turning... IIRC the Eibach is less of an issue than stock for interfering in the rear... I have plenty of room everywhere with my setup right now... I plan to lower front 1" to 1.5" nothing on the rear at some point and...

    1.8MM MLS Headgasket. Anyone use these?

    Back to a previous question I think I asked you... Do you have a TRSM (Toyota Repair Service Manual) for your year of car? The on-line one that is often posted on this site, is for IIRC a 1989, for 90% of everything it works just fine, but you should have your correct year manual (1987-1988)...

    Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

    That is close to what I have, so do not think you will have an issue, is your suspension stock? Mine - Front 18x8 +40 235/40/18 Rear 18x9.5 +40 265/35/18 I know that 18x8.5 with same size tire with a +35 offset will work, we are only talking 1/5" so I am thinking you should be good...

    1.8MM MLS Headgasket. Anyone use these?

    While I do agree with you, as I am using a 2.0mm since my head has now been decked twice, to get back to stock would be 1.9x something, so was imo close enough to not have to special order, anyway not my point or question... Do we have any idea what Toyota would do when you blew a head gasket...

    1.8MM MLS Headgasket. Anyone use these?

    No Problem at all, that is what this site is for, I am very much in debt to this site and doubt I will ever be able to give back what I have received... Let us know how it goes... Do you have a TRSM for the 87-88 car? You should be able to find your torque questions within the links...

    1.8MM MLS Headgasket. Anyone use these?

    Thanks GrimJack for your more thorough description, I was and hopefully was clear about just sharing what I did know without endorsing any of it as facts or recommendations... Not to disagree with your statement about thickness, as I 100% agree, I am just wondering in the OP position of...

    1.8MM MLS Headgasket. Anyone use these?

    Your question is valid and one that I can't answer with surety, hopefully someone who has done this before will give you some direction. Sorry I can't be of more help. I am pretty sure there would be no interference, we are only talking about .5mm = approx 1/48 of an inch, I know there are...

    Didnt put any fluid in Torque converter!

    If IJ says it should take 8 qts, stop looking at the dip stick. It says it is too full, because it is sitting in the pan, instead of all the other places it belongs... but unless it is full enough to get into those other places you will get no where... I am no automatic expert nor is mine an...

    1.8MM MLS Headgasket. Anyone use these?

    FYI - Completely flat imo is not enough for a MHG/MLS gasket, that is why it requires an RA value (based on maximum distance between the microscopic peaks and valleys on surface) so it is not the flatness, it is the smoothness that counts. I guess I am not seeing a reason you can't just go...

    1.8MM MLS Headgasket. Anyone use these?

    I am not certain as to the SIP racing portion of your question (what brand are they selling?), but in terms of MHG in general, My measurements put me at a 1.86mm and I am running a Greddy 2.0mm from DirftMotion, IMO Figure it is safer to go that way than it is the other... With all the work...
