Re: What did you do to your car today?

I made a big ass shift knob. It's an 8" long pry bar handle with a eBay shifter extension pressed in inside, so it's threaded inside. I've got about 20 bucks in it.

Re: DIY seat brackets????

I took my seat apart today. This is gonna work just fine. Why pay close to $200 for one set of seat brackets when you can make you own!? Morgan can I get those Nagisa brackets? I think they will be easier to use than the big L aluminum I got, maybe I can return it, or make something else.... Anyways...

Re: Oil everywhere

Thanks Mike! I've already done it, the big O ring between the two oil pump halves was leaking, so I didn't have to take the main body off, which meant no oil pan or exhaust removal. It took me almost 8 hours cuz my impact gun exploded on the crank pulley, so add 3 trips to Lowes lol. What really suc...

Re: Carbureting the 4AGE essentials

Roy that reminds me I have a big filter box I need to modify. It's made by Ramair, it's for a BMW 2002 with twin DCOE's. It is spaced right, but the clips were pressed in from the wrong side. I gotta modify it to work. I'm running open stacks right now.

Re: How to remove rear tow hooks and where to buy tow hooks.

I don't know where you read that. The USDM rear tow hooks are just loops welded to the bumper brackets. I had to cut one off to fit my exhaust, I used a cut off wheel on a Dremel.

Re: 4ac to 4age swap

I started with an SR5 with a 4AC. Had fun with it, then swapped in a 7AGE with carbs. The fuel system is easy, you'll need a low pressure fuel pump, i using a Holley red label pump and regulator. For electrics I'm using a 4AGE dizzy, MSD 6AL and MSD coil. All of the information you need to do the sw...

Konatrueno can you give me an estimate for an oil pump job on a 97 Camry 5SFE? Just labor for R&R oil pump drive gears. I'm trying to convince my wife the money I saved on labor should be blown on car parts. :lol:

Got my metal today. It's 3/8" thick 6061 aluminum. I think it's overkill now that I have it in my hand lol. I have read DIY seat mounts on other forums using 1/4" steel stock, so I figured a little thicker aluminum would do the same job with less weight. I will probably cut away a lot of t...

Re: Opinions? Itbs vs carbs

FCR carbs (as I recall) are not a bolt on affair. You will have to fabricate an intake manifold. Side draft carbs have the same type of mounting flange and there are several off the shelf options for a manifold that will accept those carbs. I have a TRD shorty manifold with Mikuni 44PHH carbs. They ...

Re: Opinions? Itbs vs carbs

Carbs are cooler, ITBs are betterer for ease of operation. There are two ways to look at carbs: one way is you HAVE to do all the tuning, the other way to look it is you GET to do all the tuning. I have carbs on a 16V bigport because that was the easiest, more cost effective, and most fun engine swa...
