Do not go near the new PC with your welder



thanks for the laughs, made my day

Personally I would replace the column as the thought of the steering wheel going around and around without turning the steering sends a chill down my spine

Have you measured at different places around the hub ? You may find that measuring diagonally across two studs will give a different reading and this can happen if the studs have increased the the diameter of their holes by too much, the metal has to go somewhere and it pushes out thus increasing th...

The Corollas that we had at a rally school had base mounted Sparco sprint seats on lowered welded in cross members. The base mounts were adjustable fore and aft. As you can imagine the seats had to accommodate all shapes and sizes and never once did we have to turn anyone away because they were too ...

Use a new locking tab and no thread locker will be needed.
I guess you would need to use thread locker if you are using the rack extender spacers.

Opinions??

Just use a new nyloc nut or buy genuine Toyota tie rod ends that should come with the correct fittings.

I did some drifting the other day....
What is all the fuss about ?
Was far too easy, got bored, went home

Have you driven the car with the engine in yet ?
An extra 20psi in the rear tyres is likely to make just as much difference as an extra 20hp which is about all you will get in the real world

I'm not using any kind of smoothing on the display, is such a thing available ? In the LC-1 software there is a setting that allows you to choose a level of smoothing. It basically averages the samples over a specified time and then outputs the average value to the gauge. The settings are either in...

As you are re-locating the sensor it may be worth spending a little time testing your sensor. I tested my bad sensor by holding it over a steaming kettle, the AFR was jumping around all over the place just as it did when I was trying to use it. A good new sensor performed as it should and produced t...

Can someone please tell me if they get Isuzu and Subaru adverts in the header above please.
Is it just a coincidence that I do a lot of work with both of those brands and their adverts appear on my header or something more sinister going on ?
(My history, cache etc. is emptied on a regular basis)

Hey totta... I like how steady that display on the LM-2 holds, basically no random jumping around at all. Do you have selectable smoothing or averaging of samples to get it to hold steady like that ? Whereabouts in the exhaust did you install the sensor ? I think mine is too close to the head, and ...

"The problem is that there is already too much misinformation or biased marketing out there. If you are going to try to add to the knowledge base you should know enough about what you are looking at to know all the variables and present all the relevant information." I merely posted up the...

Unlike some I don't use these forums as an advertising medium as I have nothing to sell so I fail to see what relevance the price of a product has over its performance. I posted the videos as information for people to view and they are free to take from that what they like. I'm sorry to the people o...

Would be worth checking with AEM if you intend to use the stock 20v magnetic cam / crank sensors with the EMS-4 In fact you would be much better off getting a crank signal from a hall sensor when using an AEM EMS Sadly the AEM forum has disappeared, there was a lot of info. regarding sensors on it b...

From my earlier post.

If I was building a 200hp 4age or a boosted engine then I would have it professionally mapped.

You can see from the videos that the DTM unit closely follows the LM2 and you can see for yourself that it does indeed measure values between 16-11 AFR there is nothing 'trick' going on here. I had access to both units and thought it would be interesting to do a comparison. Both a narrowband (DTM) a...

Firstly Jondee i would like to thank you for offering a sensible non opinionated reply, I have posted the video's elsewhere and have had nothing but abuse ! Really what I wanted to show is that a narrowband sensor can read values between 16 and 11 and whilst it is fair to say that the sensor is more...

Here are a couple of videos that show a comparison between an Innovate LM2 and a narrowband sensor display. The DTM unit can 'T' into the stock O2 sensor and display what it is reading. The 1st video shows the engine idling and under load so it gives a better representation of what the AFR's are. (N...

I can't speak for the LC-1 because I am using an Innovate LM-2 and whilst the unit works ok I have never been able to get the simulated narrow band output to work correctly.
Considering what Jondee says above and my experience (and others, do a search) it may be best to use two separate sensors.

About 1 degree negative each side can be achieved by heating the axle tubes and bending them at the diff. end. It can be done with the axle still in the car by lowering the outward end of the heated tube gently onto an axle stand. Definately not for the faint hearted :shock: and it might be worth st...

Yeah, get the Toyota one

A genuine Toyota one will probably give you another 29 years of service.

Hi welcome. In order to run itb's you really need to use a after market ecu and once you have that sorted you might as well put a decent pair of cams in to make the most of the itb's. The 4age is fairly reliable up to around 8000rpm so 272 degree cams are about the maximum on stock internals. A ligh...

You can find the duration of the cams with a 360 degree protractor and a dial gauge.

You need a bigger budget or a more realistic goal.
How much does a Mustang 5.0 engine weigh ?

Ask yourself this question:
"would Toyota have designed it this way ?"
No ?
Then do the job properly and use the parts that fit correctly in the first place.
Your life (or someone else) may depend on it......

oil pressure sensor ?
