Re: My new to me 87 sr5

Re: "new" 83 SR5 tunning

in regards to the stuck wheel, just bash it. i had the same problem on my wife's '91 4x4 toyota pickup last year and thought something must have been wrong but it's just because corrosion builds up between the rim and hub. i wound up using a sledge and, after full swings at the tire and rotating the...

Re: thanks to all who made it to ToyotaFest!

i know the one you're talking about TT. i'd love to do it next year, just depends on scheduling. we're going to do burning man again next year and that's a big trip in late august and early september, so i don't know if i'll be ready for another roadtrip so soon after. we'll see though. if i feel i ...

Re: all of a sudden, it dies at idle...

seth, does it die at idle regardless of being hot or cold? if it first happened at a stop sign in the middle of a drive i imagine it happens even when it's hot but thought i'd ask, just to try to narrow down the possibilities.

Re: thanks to all who made it to ToyotaFest!

I'll bet dcn is gnashing his teeth about not being able to enter - but NS is a long drive to WA. i thought that too. we should start a fundraiser to fly dcn and his terc out in a pimp-ass helicopter next year. spotlights, wailing guitar solos, ladies in bikinis, and a hot f terc dropping from the s...

Re: thanks to all who made it to ToyotaFest!

you guys didn't happen to drive each others tercs, did you? i'd be really curious to know how each person felt about synth's barto lift if they had a chance to try it out.

Re: Official Invite to the Puget Sound Toyota Owners Festiva

Re: new paint for ron!

the fenders are chipguarded. we also did behind the rear bumper. i removed the rub strips and more or less followed the body line from the front fender to the line that runs along where the top of the rub strip was, over the rear fender, and around the back where the bumper sits. incidentally, to re...

Re: Couple of Weber Questions

be sure to check for hood clearance before you bolt it down. as for the rest of it, it's pretty straight forward. and it's soooooo nice to get rid of that stupid space ship air filter housing and mess of vacuum hoses. i finally just completely removed my EGR and did the EGR-to-PCV conversion so that...

Re: header: should i or shouldn't i?

no worries oznad, i wanted to gather opinions on here so all are welcome! the PITA vs. benefit of a header on such a small engine was why i was asking. i imagined that if you have big powerful engine spitting tons of exhaust fumes, a header would def benefit you, but with such a small engine, would ...

Re: thanks to all who made it to ToyotaFest!

great pics petros! your terc looks much sportier than i had noticed in previous pics, i like it a lot. is that original paint? i've never seen one in that colour. and it looks like barto has some competition in the adventure wagon category! i'll see what my schedule is like next year because i'd obv...
