I think you will find it is 2121 Or is it, what is the model code?

Just imagine the epic noise when you throw the rest of the Lada in the pit at the dump

Bog is a man's best friend, just slather it on and send it.

Just go down to Instant Finance or similar and get the cash tomorrow. You won't regret it.

Only other thing to consider with filters is the bypass pressure setting. I doubt it is listed in the datasheets but supposedly different engines are designed for different filter bypass pressure and Toyotas can be quite sensitive. I can't wait for the day we all have electric cars and don't have to worry about this crap.

Position is critical, if you have it pre-throttlebody you will need to compensate with a lot of awkward blending with coolant temperature to estimate temperature of the air actually getting into cylinder. General consensus (except by toyota) seems to be that you want the sensor as close to the cylinder head as possible

I was having a yarn with Ralph Nader about your car's fume issues the other day. He reckons the best way to fix it is to replace that flat six with a Leaf motor.

I really don't see the point in getting the car painted, better off putting that cash towards petrol to get to education

That engine looks like it is about ready to be a boat anchor. Are those jet valves supposed to look like they've been burnt out?

Then just paint it whatever colour you want, it's not like you're fixing it with genuine Toyota steel

None of my bikes have shrouds on chains and I still have all 12 toes

Did you open it up and check that it is actually an LSD and not a lincoln locker?

Two things to consider: 1. Bypass generates a lot of heat and also limits the amount of oil going through the bearings so could decrease oil life 2. Way too high pressure can supposedly erode bearings, but I guess that will be a self clearancing system

Mate, what are you doing? At that price I would be knocking down the doors of the nearest money lender and buying that fine specimen right away. There's no way you could get more car for your money and to top it off that is an appreciating classic. You couldn't possibly go wrong. Just imagine the pure joy you will get from the big V8 burbling away at traffic lights.

Cool project but, man, what a strange set of constraints you are setting yourself. Why not just get it certed for RWD and save yourself major ballache?
