waz Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 Ok motor and box out of car pulled the gearbox off to inspect the clutch and got a suprise along the lines of a lightened fly wheel and TRD clutch Yay, also it has a short shift kit as well. Started with the single turbo conversion going to make up a y pipe from the factory manifold which makes out for less work and basically the same gains. Thats all for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waz Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 well its now got a wof, took it away for new years put 1000k on it unfortunately the clutch didn't hold up to the task. The clutch is mush and pressure plate was cracked in a couple places. So new 4 puck PWR clutch going in tomorrow hopefully it should do the job. Also new diff even if it is a locker that will help with sideways action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
