Alright sounds goods. Thanks Rick.

Oh, metric fitting for the oil drain back on the oil pan. Because 1" is too big and 3/4 is too small to fit into that threading on the oil pan. And to think I was going to fire it up by friday. I guess I gotta wait until tuesday since thats when the part I ordered will get here. btw, I'm having huge issues with the motor mount inserts. I'll figure it out though. I just have a really bad cold since I've been working on my car in a non heated garage for the past week or so.


Been there and saw his working environment.....agreed......hardcore Will....any way 4:30 is fine in my book..."just in case" I gotta work til 3pm that day...
Looks like Ger is going to be racing down there. Hey, do you want to meet up at like taco bell and then go to the MOA together?

if you try jacking the motor up you're gonna hit on the power steering rack. you have to disconnect the front mount and tilt the motor it's a pain in the ass but it's the only around to getting the rear apart.
ALready took the front motor mount off. Should I jack the motor up from behind to tilt the motor forward? How will I tilt it?

X2 on the front mount.
I also have a trick to easing removal and replacement of the rear mount. You have the two bolts and nuts holding the steering rack in place, you need to loosen one (passenger side) and take the other side out completely. This enables you to be able to push the steering rack up slightly and giving you the much needed room to squeeze the rear mount into place. Its a lot easier this way than other methods I have used including slightly dropping that large center cross member that goes from left to right wheels or jacking the motor excessively. So try the steering rack method and see!

Lol.....yeah. Taco Bell is fine...around 3:30? So the two white Celi's show up as a pair....pimp....damn...yall make the 5sfte sound hard, but simple to build.....
3:30 is perfect. I didn't even have to touch the motor mount. Well I did have to move the cross member for the oil pan, BUT I removed both front and rear motor mounts to put in the kirkosaurus inserts in. I discovered that my rear mounts were completely shot, but I put the inserts over them anyway. Good news, conicellli toyota finally shipped my oil drain back thing. I was expecting it next week, but if it gets overnighted I should get them tomorrow hopefully. I want my exhaust done and a good tune.

Flag football sounds fun....but I grew up street football, anything goes with some restrictions....BTW got my 18" white ADR rims....yeah yo...!
I saw the pic you texted me. I grew up playing real football all the way up until last year. But since I'm no longer playing organized sports why not play a little flag. AT least this way you won't get hurt.

I play street football too lol I've seen people play flag football before they play rough don't let the "flag" confuse you a lot of pushing and shoving is involved. smile.gif

Dude, its nothing compared to real organized football. Although I would have to say that the guys who play flag are soo much quicker.

how is your car coming along Will
Still waiting for that 8 dollar piece from Toyota. I should get it on wednesday. I'm gonna for sure go to MAP to get my boost gauge tomorrow. I keep procrastinating. I went to the car show saturday and said that I would go to MAP to get the gauge, but didn't. But after class tomorrow, I'll go for sure. I'm dieing to start her up. I miss her soo much. I just want the car running so I can get the exhaust done and get her tuned.

How bout your car Rick? Have you been driving it at all?

no driving yet...I'm waiting to go to Map i gotta save money up though unfortunately. i just forked out 70 bucks to autometer to replace my defective oil pressure gauge that stopped calibrating. booo. i'm gonna mess around with a little tuning tomorrow i think.... so i can have a decent idle to get it on and off the trailer.
Are you going to have your car tuned before the meet? Because if you give us some lame excuse that you won't be able to attend due to not being able to tune her you better let us know now. So we can do a donation. lol...
