lol too late, just rug docta'd them last evening. water came out BROWN

After cleaning them I looked at them a bit closer to inspect them (closer than I really should have)

A couple of the bolsters on both seats, that of which the foam is fine, the fabric seems to be worn/thinning and doesnt have the same texture as if were new. Not really noticeable from a arms length, and It doesnt bother me as much as it would if it were the confetti fabric (which is flawless) Capital Seating UK sells the SRD fabric if I ever feel the need to replace it


also these guys came in

I plan on getting a full set of Recaros one day but it's relatively low on my priority list at the moment. Definitely jelly.

It was low on mine too, but then I had one of those late night ebay searches and found a local set....which is a rare thing

I'm curious to hear how them end links work out for you, we're you using the st185s previously or stocks? See what the comparison is like.

Im excited to try them out, I have the TwosRus endlinks, these dont have that spherical ball mechanism so they might be pretty solid

Lol you guys are nuts, I have the spherical ones right now and helped tighten things up front. Your new ones look very solid and will help for your auto-x for sure. I've looked into them before

Mine did as well when I first installed them. But after the 1.5 year that I didnt drive the car I got back in it and the steering felt more loose than I remember it NOT to be haha.
It could have always been that way

It may be a bad toe setting, but regardless it will be addressed this weekend.

I just dont like how my Fit feels more precise with its steering than the Celica frown.gif

hopefully they perform as good as they look!


Sadly, I had to remove the oil pan (which I had sealed like a champ) to remove the entire oil pump assembly.

The two bolt holes that hold the oil rotor section to the whole oil pump were stripped clean, retapped one, but wasnt able to drop the engine enough to re tap the upper hole.
The re tapping didnt look very clean and I didnt feel comfortable running with it.

SO I ordered an new Aisin oil pump. Lets see if this will finally resolve my leak.

LOL also I just ordered the pump last night...this morning went to check on my order and on the catalog the pump increased?!
I paid $77, it now is being sold for $85 what goes on here?

I feel like I should reinforce that mounting bracket on the control arm. I heard of them snapping off before and I'd rather that not happen to mine.
