After looking through the internet I came to the same conclusion as everyone mentioned. I have already ordered a new thrust washer, a heavy duty bearing cover plate and billet 1-2 shifter fork from Marlin Crawler. It appears the standard bearing plate flexes and the design of the oem thrust...

Thanks John, that would be much appreciated. I am not using the air con or power steering and have all the other pulleys and idlers sorted, but the tensioner, due to its odd size, was the only on I could not find. Warren

John, The plugs are from the engine loom, so I would say toyota or their supplier. I probably confused people by saying not OEM. I should have put not from Toyota/Lexus dealer spare parts. I was thinking Sideshow for the parts, I was hoping he would replay and I could get his new contact...

I am about to do a new engine loom for an aftermarket ECU, but found the hacked up harness I have is missing some plugs I need. I don't want to butcher the engine harness in the car so I am after a supply of plugs(preferably new ones) to make up the new loom. So can anyone suggest a supplier...

Would anyone know where I can get an 8 rib idler pulley to replace the idler pulley on the tensioner. The only place I knew where to get one appears not to be in business anymore. Thanks Warren

Thanks for your help. I have some 1.55mm material that should be OK.

I am about to throw some parts together to make a dummy engine. I have no used head gaskets so I need to know the thickness of a compressed head so I can make something out of a Klinger type gasket material so I can bolt the heads to the block and have the correct height for the inlet ports...

Thanks for your suggestions. I checked out the wreckers and found an identical socket from a 7MGE Soarer. Also I found that a early 90's Mitsubishi Lancer has a similar socket on there ECU that is available from Dyiautotune that would have worked as well Warren

Does anyone know where I can get sockets similar to the ones on an early Crown ECU(stand alone motor ecu). I want to make a lead up to plug into the motor loom and then plug into a aftermarket stand alone ECU(Adaptronic). I don't won't to strip down a working ECU to get the parts. I was hoping...

There is no vibration, all the other gears appear to be OK although there was a rattle when in 3rd gear, but did not sound like a gearbox noise. I havn't used any excessive force to hold it in first gear. I was thinking maybe the first gear thrust washer, but no noise from the gearbox. I will...

I have a R154 gearbox bolted to a a stock standard 1UZ in a car that weights about 1150kg that is not wanting to stay in first gear. As soon as I take off it comes out of first gear. Even when I hold it in first gear it still wants to spring out of gear when I drive off. Before I pull out the...

Rod, The donor car for the build is a BA/BF XR8 or GT Falcon. The dash, consol and arm rests are from the Falcon and the seats are SAAS recovered in leather to match the colour of the dash. Warren

Justen The exhaust pipe shop that did my exhaust uses this technique for mufflers where the need for ground clearence is required. JBrady The inside of the football shaped pipe is were the auger is attached. The car is a Cobra Concept replica. The motor is a quad cam 5.4 ltr Ford with a...

I had mufflers made up for my Cobra that used about 3.5 inch tube with an auger (that is used in wheat silos) welded in. In the picture they are the four pipes after the x pipe. They reduce the noise to about 97db. If you can fit similar style mufflers in along with you other mufflers it could...
