Re: Special Feel! Hachi Roku Slide Machine
It's too bad the T50 isn't strong enough, love the ratio Whether the T50 is "strong enough" or not really depends on how much power your engine is putting out and what you use the car for. Stock 3TC + T50 as a daily driver would probably be fine. But for drifting, probably not. If you lik...

Quick 6.7" / 7.5" Diff Ratio Question
Hey guys, So my car has a 6.38" diff in it, 3.91:1 ratio. I like the idea of the 6.7" swap due to LSD and rear disc brakes, but I don't want to have a higher rear end ratio. Is there a factory 6.7" or 7.5" LSD with a ~3.91:1 ratio available in the US? I know there's a super rare ...

Rear out. http://i.imgur.com/tDfN8cWl.jpg its from an early 81 celica with a 6.7" rear end and zenki axles. So the rear axle housing is from an early 1981 Celica? If so, I thought those didn't come with rear disc brakes... are you using an adapter? Also, when you said "zenki axles" a...

I like how you've removed so much from it but it still looks like a fully functional car
That's a lot of wires there; what did you remove?
Good luck with your project!

Re: Binding airmix cable, broken climate control
If you're going to stick with the stock cables you should work some WD-40 into them. Spray some WD-40 into one end then move the cable a bit. But what I found made the most difference was to lubricate the heater valve under the hood (I'd also shoot some WD-40 into the cable). At that point the airmi...
