And the other.. https://www.123bearing.co.uk/bearing-038KC68-NACHI.php

Found one: https://www.123bearing.co.uk/bearing-TR080702J-1D-KOYO.php

Let me know if you find them

Do people really buy them from Toyota / Tuning Developments for £140?! Surely there is a pattern part available somewhere?

Will only go on one way

The diff worked, but not very well. I wrongly assumed the plates had been ordered to make it tame. Not sure on running in, it may get run in on a rolling road. If it costs the same as a track day, might as well do it in a controlled environment!

In my previous post I suggested that I'd be sending my Kaaz LSD to 3J to be serviced, I also said I'd like to fit the engine at the weekend. 3J suggest a 1 to 2 week turn around, which might mean I wouldn't have the LSD back in time, and ultimately scupper my plans to fit the engine. With a small amount of spare time this morning, and after 3 confidence inspiring beers last night, I figured I'd at least have a go at re-ordering the plates my self, what's the worse that could happen? After an early, and cold start I headed over to the unit to make use of the vice. First of all, this isn'

Pretty certain my car is the Snow Version, which apparently came with a beefy alternator and starter motor. I'd like to try and find out the differences in weight between the snow version and the normal alternator and starter. I'll weigh mine this week, anyone got an alternator or starter they can weigh for me to compare? Thanks

With the engine nearing completion, it was time to pay the car a visit. It's looking a little sorry for it's self currently, covered in dust and generally looking unloved. First order of business was to have a good tidy up and sweep under the car, and lift the bonnet up and out of the way. Much like the entire car, the engine bay is already pretty clean, just covered in a few years of grime, and a few months of dust. I set to work removing bits and pieces, some found their way back into the bay this afternoon, others removed forever. I also detached the wiring loom to help with clea

With the engine mostly built, it's time to start fitting ancillaries, and checking things for size. The first thing I did was give everything a good scrub with Gunk and a Atlasta brush. I didn't get any photos of this process, it was dark and drizzling with rain, I just wanted to get on with it! After 24 hours to dry out in front of a radiator it was time to start fitting things up. Here you can see the inlet manifold which being honest looks much better in photos than it does in person, but it'll do. I also got around to refitting the oil filter housing after it had a good clean, and o

Before I start this, I have another progress thread, but it got messed up when I changed image hosts, so here's a new one.. 13 months, it really has been that long since I've actually touched the car, 13 months! But with the exception of the last month or two, nothing has changed. The engine came back from CAS in Northallerton, March 2016 and it sat waiting to be assembled until about October. Some drama followed, another set of bearings were purchased, and I finally got around to putting the bottom end together just before the new year. I'm not really one for new years resolutions,

Cheers, was unsure if there was a waterway in the thermostat housing from that pipe which needed to be filled? Without taking the recently sealed housing off my head it'll be hard to see for myself. As for the mist and fog, you'd be surprised how well fog-x works. I've done a couple of cold and wet track days and never had a problem with the screen misting up!

I've had my heater matrix deleted for a while, when I did it I just joined the coolant out from the water pump, to the coolant in at the thermostat housing. I wondered if someone smarter than I can tell me whether or not I can just plug them up instead of running a hose between them? The one circled red here, and it's friend at the thermostat housing?

Anyone got one laying around they don't need? Thanks

Yes

This is a normal H-Pattern shifter, it just replaces the standard plastic thing. As far as I'm aware it makes shifting shorter, and a more positive experience, never used one, but similar things from other manufactures get rave reviews. It will also allow the shifter to by longer and closer to the steering wheel too, oh, and look bad ass.

I was at Autosport International yesterday and spoke with the guy responsible for CoolerWorx shifters. Currently, he doesn't have an application for our cars, but seemed interested to work with me in producing something for the starlet. >http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGQrFlxPi3s&ab_channel=MusabAljbory I have a spare shifter I intend to send him, and see how things go. Is there any other interest in these, to give you an idea, they had a special offer on shifters at the show for £300, so expect to pay that for one of these.

Around 23mm of thread, is that right?

That'll do it. My woodruff key stayed in the crank when I removed the pulley. It should slide over the top of it, or at least mine did, and new one now does.

The lack of photos of this car sideways with smoke pouring from the back tyres makes me sad.

Hi, Would you be able to give it (the bolt) a quick measure. Does it have a captive washer? Thanks!

Cheers Matt, see if anyone steps forward, or I come across it at home before taking you up on that offer!

I didn't, the one I had was too big to get in behind the sprocket to pull it off. I ended up prying it off in the end, which resulted in a sprocket looking like this: Didn't want to risk it, so bought a new one.

Seemingly, the only bolt I've misplaced is one of the two longer bolts for the oil pump. Does anyone have one? The one that goes in the bottom left.

I damaged my sprocket when removing it, pain in the ass. Replacements are £30 from Toyota
