Drifting, clutch kicks, welded diff, burnouts, etc. will easily roast an sr5 rear, even a gts rear...

Theres another oem one that works too. Its black and I believe made out of hard rubber. (It's shown in the parts diagram for ae86.) I don't remember part #...

However, the the blue ones ae86kai posted are far superior imo (much preferred over the others).

Yeah, i had the same problem with just power knuckles and aw11 rack (also 15x7 +0 195/50). Its becausebthe bar isnt the same shape as oem.

The spoon inserts are basically collared washers which are designed to take out the play/gap between the mounting holes on frame/x member, and the fasteners. As result they center the fasteners within the mount holes which centers the x member, in theory... as long as frame is straight. 75w-90 is a ...

Glad you got the suspension issues sorted. (The x nember centering issue makes me think the spoon cross member inserts might not be a bad idea.) I used conventional valvoline 75w-90 in 2 different t50s without issue. However, i might splurge and get some gl4 next time since the oem calls for it. (It...

Minimally equipped foreign cars are worse. After ditching ac, switching to manual rack, levin front/jdm panels tge car is noticeably lighter up front and less stable at higher speeds. Even worse if the car has a mild drop, or at stock height (gasp) like me. Rear spoiler alone will just make the prob...

You can also remove some of the springs so the load up / ramp rate is less aggressive.

No experience with trd, only heard theyre slightly less aggressive and stout compared to cusco/tomei/kazz /etc.

What you described (buying complete pumpkin) will be easiest as long as its in good working condition - lots of variables with an old used unit though. Plus, you prob want to at least replace bearings while out, and that will require hiring a pro unless one can do it themselves. If you like doing th...

Side note: considering you liked the oem unit... if the car is driven on the street and your not trying too drift... i recommend having a new lsd adjusted from its new/default setting before install (at least talk about with a pro). New lsd units are setup for racing/drift and are often adjusted to ...

The inverted rear is a new thing I guess and they havent updated their spreedsheet. (I wondered the same a short time ago and came to this conclusion.)

^should work now. Been that way for a short time

I ordered from them once... Overpriced door panel cups. Faded brown within six months. Plus they charged over $20 for shipping (they're maybe a 7 hour drive from me) and it took 3 weeks. He sent the first class mail (2-3 day at cost of $3.XX - pistage on box. Best part was that it was a flimsy box j...

Have yyou jumped the diagnostic port to check for cel's?

The lack of cold start injector likely explains the excessive cranking, and also possubly the hard start. When you 'clutch in' you basically mean neutral right? (In other words: idle is really low and fluctuates some, even when warm?) Tps abd ignition timng wiuld probably be a good place to start - ...

Does it only happen for a short period of time after a cold start, or always?

It will be best to run a line to the sump for a drain. Even in rwd layout it doesn't drain enough when the roads start to get twisty. Ost even offers a service to add a drain to the largeport head in the same spot. I speak from experience. On my stock engined gts I was burning at least 1 qt. oil bet...

I only want one for ease of use in regard to belt tension (one person using a pry bar on oem setup is ridiculous, plus intake has to come off...) In my mind the oem steel bracket should be stronger than an aluminum turnbuckle with small fasteners (heims), althouth I doubt it really matters either wa...

What's the diameter of the front sway bar?

Its basically the sub harness for the ac evap and also is the idle up circuit for the fan. You also need the ac amplifier, but its probably still attached to the evap box.

Can your bracket be used like this?:

Also, are you sure it's rubbing the inside/firewall? You've observed the rub marks? If so where exactly is it making contact?

Im interested in the oil cap but the pic doesn't appear to be workinf

Hey thanks for the feedback. I've been editing the original post to make it more clear/concise. To clarify, before adjustment IDL E2 had no continuity on both terminal tests. After adjustment I now have continuity where I'm supposed to but perhaps too much... (It probably doesn't matter.) All the ot...

My ecu throws code 11. It's been this way for years and the engine has always ran good and passed emissions. In lieu of much talk about code 11/tps recently on the forums I decided to attempt adjusting my tps to spec via the procedure in the service manual, but was unable to do so, i think... TOYOTA...

Did you check for cel/codes? Most seem to throw code 11/tps (unless previously serviced) which doesn't allow the ecu into diagnostic mode, and thus, you won't be able to set the timing as per the service manual. However, you can use a timing light to see if ignition is at 16* btdc - without the the ...

Its October , bumping this thing.

It sounds like you basically got it.

Fwiw mine throws code 11 but runs good and passes emissions. I haven't attempted to adjust the tps sensor yet.

Iirc its the smaller one with 2 terminals. Connect the terminals with a test wire. The rest of the procedure is in the kouki service manual floating around in pdf.

Bride fg goes lower. Nagisa and memory fab have some that that go slightly lower than bride, but the sliders aren't dual locking like bride. Also, try taking out the butt cushion on the seat, if applicable. That's how I rocked my recaro pole position and spg = extra head room and better fit to seat ...

There are 2 yellow pig tails on the firewall harness near the wiper motor and charcoal canister.
