Oh, so you have about 2 extra gallons then stock. Does it use an internal pump? (New to me) -Tom

How big is your fuel cell?

WTF! Not cool in any way, shape, or form.... This is an ignorant idea and should not be carried out. But, to each their own. -Tom

Aww, Scott. no more center consol, where am I to put my beer? :-p But really, making good progress. is this just still a Mock-up, or is it finaly coming together? Does look good though. -Tom

+1, Miles Fox has great write ups on Trashwagon.com. I used his Oilpump/T-belt guide the first time I did that job along with cam seals. To bad he doesn't seem to come on here anymore. He used to be local (In Madison and Milwaukee WI) dunno where he is now (Hes a Fox, slinks around lol) Nice job on the Cressida, looks much better white (Is that a genuine toyata color?) Boast all you want, I too wish I had skills like that (Just something you don't see much of these days) Anyhoo, haha yep I see he's your little helper Wet seanding or just dry? I just did a dry sand with 400grit on my fenders and it worked awesome (Some things are just over kill) -Tom

What I did today: Removed A/C radiator, Fabbed two metel brackets one is bolted to the hood release bracket, Then mounted my set of 118dB Hella supertone horns to that, then added the second bracket to the back of the two bolts that hold the horns to the first bracket. It acts how a strut tower brace would (Keeps my horns from vibrating all over, basicly strangthins the first bracket) I'll get a picture tomorrow. now all I need to do it wire them up along with its relay and I'm done! And yes, all this fits behind the grill, I backspaced the first bracket a little (hence removing the A/Cs rad) -Tom

HAHAHAHA! Must be a Wisconsin thing lol.. I can't beleive it! someone else from WI!! Whooot! what do ya drive? This is ground breaking jrfan, hey looks like you had a good time. your stepdad looks like a kind guy Clean Cressida, Everytime I see one around its got cancer really bad. So how did the engine swap go? should have been pretty easy since you didn't go with a carbed EA82. -Tom

Mudduck, Yes that true lol. just wanted to see if there was anything, I'll check around at prices and such As for painting the pugs black, I had them powdercoated white for a reason Lol, be kinda a waste of $300 don't you think? Hehe. I understand you arn't aware of them being white (Just razzing thats all) :-p TF, Yes thats what we have on the Blazer Ceramic pads. I want to see if they have those or these organic ones you speak of (Next time I do brakes, next spring sometime) Thanks for the input guys, answered my questions fairly well -Tom

Oh thats good, Getting hot enough then. Righty hoo, -Tom

Oh it does! I suppose it makes sence. I just figured it would incress stopping power (But its not a performance vehicle, like you said) Wonder how much genuine rotors are? As for pads/shoes, is there any low dust types for these cars? -Tom

So you installed a 180* Thermo in? Now ok, it runs cool. But running the engine too cool will cause issues (never getting the engine up to operation temp isn't the best) I run a 192* in my EA82 Seems to work just fine (Even in extream hot in stop and go traffic, gauge onlys gets to half way mark during that) -Tom

Anyone know if theres a company that makes Drilled/Slotted Rotors for the EA82? I'm thinking next spring to change out mine since they have a slight worp in them and are starting to crumble. Is there such a thing as an upgraded rotor thats a direct fit? Also, looking for low brake dust/ low espestos pads and shoes aswell. I know they make them, just dunno what brands do. Casue I'm getting tired of all this excesive dust. Thanks for any pointers! -Tom

Can anyone say "Hachi Roko" That looks cool! Needs some gloss though.

I'm diggin' the trimless look! Almost looks like an AE86 sprinter. Keep it up! -Tom

And into the fender Lol. I dubble checked with Connie on which way it gos (Was nervous 1st time hehe)

Intriging

I replaced both V-belts today, due to the rear belt failing. All is well now! -Tom

Glad we could be of service I was suprized how quick it work the first time I did, (Thank you Connie) Best'O luck -Tom

To get your crank bolt loose, take a long breaker bar with the proper socket, then make sure the breaker bar is touching the ground on the drivers side, and just give the starter a quick jolt, and that will loosen the bolt easy as pie. Ask another person is you feel. Many do it this way, sometimes an impact won't do it. -Tom

Geez, that why I'm taking the precautions now, so I don't end up like this in the future. Thats just shocking though, I mean man, the frame rail is gone where it curves up! Wow.. -Tom

I gotta come out to IA and go wheeling with you guys!

God! Wonder how that feels when going only 25mph! its got to cause alot of vibration, Kinda sucks you'd need to trailer your rig to the wheeling area insted of driving it there. But that is a nice soild shaft, no need to worrie on breaking those yokes! -Tom

Well, its Yellow. That alone adds 10hp :-p -Tom

Update: I got a reply from the guy selling the adapters today, he said it'll an extra $35 to ship from AU to US. so $59.99 + $35.00 shp/hdl. I'm not buying one at the moment -Tom

Yep JEGS has it for $42.99 45000volts! Been thinking of getting on my self. -Tom
