I'm almost 100% sure that the 21R/RU was never federalized in the US. It definitely was not a warranty replacement... That it is a 2-liter motor...
Hmmm... why go to a 21R? IIRC, 20R > 22R > 21R. The 21R is a non-USDM version of the 2xR engine series that importers brought in as a cheap...
The water pump housings are a little different. Not sure if it matters but the RG water pump housing has a bigger diameter bypass hose (the hose...
Do you have an 18RG block? In theory, you can build an 18RG from an 18RC "just" by swapping heads but then you need to find all the 18RG specific...
Best bet is to find the factory service manual for your year. It breaks down each circuit in the carb and test procedures for them. Second best...
That's good to know. I don't plan to do the ball joint flip and plan to use 16s. Didn't see any decent 15" tires in 205/60 or 215/60 sizes... I'm...
What size wheels do you have? I want to install the lowering spindles so I need to know what size wheels to plan for. TIA
Or... If you're good at metalworking and handy with a welder, you can try widening one. Been watching a lot of those customizing shows on cable....
LOL
Looks good. If you want paint but don't have the steady hands needed, you can "cheat". What I did many years ago was to mask off a pinstripe line...
Just from personal experience, mismatched studs probably means the truck's PO lost some studs due to vibration. I lost a few nuts AND studs (I...
@Rafa Your problem us not like Joe Barrios'. He had 300,000miles on his engine and yours is rebuilt. At 300k miles, burning oil is not unusual,...
I hear/heard this a lot about the Weber conversion kits. That's why I go back and forth about buying the smog legal kit for my 1979 Celica.
I agree with Fred Heath. You should make sure you have a solid foundation to build on. Fix if necessary or move on if you can't (or don't want to)...
"Grandpa Truck" LOL I like that. You should try to find a GT badge off of a Celica and stick it on the truck... Oh, and nice truck!
Ah, yes. I had forgotten about compliance in the bushings. But you can always get Delrin bushings and those heavy-duty H-welded shackles...
Re: leaf sliders... Just spit-balling off the top of my head: 1. Interesting idea but that slider mechanism needs improvement. Maybe okay for a...
The hole on the bottom washer looks much bigger than the other two. Does it fit over the shock mount and go all the way to the shock body? If so,...
I have to agree with you... about the stupid project part. LOL I'm just pulling your leg. Actually, I'm always in awe of people who see a car in...
Try: "side body moulding" (from my Celica factory service manual). The reason you don't see them often is because: 1. They're usually installed...
