Just get a new one from Toyota. I drive an auto so don't have much advice for clutches. My Celica GT-S I used to have was a stick and I replaced the clutch in it with OEM one. That's all I know :icon_bigg
got the pistons out today, all the rings looked fine along w/ the rod bearings. looked like very little wear, even the crank journals look fine. im starting to think i shoulda left this motor together... DOH!
im just wonderin how the F im supossed to get the crank pulley off now ....
pics tomorrow

At least buy a replacement clutch disc, that way you know you've got plenty of miles left. The only concern is that you might not have a perfectly flat clutch cover surface.
i know how you guys here LOOOOOOVE paint pics. well stay tuned, engine bay is gettin painted today. WOOT! :boobies:
I like those rims....any chance you could hook me up with them in the future? :naughty:

haha yup, fast food 3-4 times a week. 6'0" 150lbs im a regular Fat Albert :biglaugh:
you should se the rest of the garage.... its a friggin mess. my brothers golf kart that hes puttin a CBR600 motor in takes up so much space when i was workin on the motor i had about 1 ft in front and behind the car to move around...
as for the rims, yea i can hook u up w/ em, i just wanna burn the tires off 1st cuz thet dont hold air longer than a day. no centercaps tho.
^^ thats ok i could find center caps. I would probably want to powder coat em some nice color, depending on what color my supra would be. And i would burn the tires too if they were mine haha. If your garage is that bad, you need to clean and organize it dude!! :biglaugh:

What color is it exactly? I can't tell because of the light but it seems to look ok. Maybe a little too much metallic flake, maybe. I need more pictures. I'm not dogging it though. It's better than red, he he.
Personally i love the color, But i think it'll be a bit much on the body with all that metallic. Picture it. Still looks awesome tho!! :aigo::love:
the flash makes the metallic more noticable. paint code is 1C6, Graphite Grey Pearl, used on new toyotas, and lexus'. looks really dark (almost black) in the shade, but looks lighter in the sun. i couldnt decide between black and graphite so i went with both lol.
sprayed a couple light coats on the hood to see what it would look like, can still see some primer spots as i ran out of paint and didnt wanna mix more just yet.

I CANT wait to see the whole car done!!! :evil2: Are you using professional tools like spray gun, sprayer stuff like that? When do you think it'll all be done?

yea i have a decent gun i got on ebay last year for about $110, and i have an air dryer system so no moisture gets in the paint. nothing really specific on the engine bay, just a good clean and scuff. however since it didnt hide the red too well i may just primer the outside of the car black 1st so i dont need as much paint for full coverage.
as for the paint i got it at a local sherwin williams and so far i like it. looks like some quality stuff.
^^ Oh okay. Yeah i agree on the primer. So you think you'll have everything donw by the end of this month? Like running and all.
i think so, and i hope so. im thinkin about just goin APR head bolts w/ an OEM head gasket. im not planning on making big power with this i mostly just need a DD. i think i should be ok w/ the non MHG if i dont go over 350hp. i really dont wanna have to get the engine machined. everything looks like its in good condition, just need new pistons, rings, and bearings.
