Found out it's the 98.65 part from the ScionLife tech/repair manual and the list from toyodiy.. gonna see what my ex-toyota employee friend can get it for.. Ugh.

It's my fault it's messed up so I guess that's what it'll cost.

yes is 'Bisi.......the car is a beast,every part of it is built to put the power to the ground too,everything rebuilt to hold together,weakest link probably the drive shafts,but I so wish i had the money to build one like it.....lol

It would be fun to pull up on anything and walk all over it,at least once you hit 3rd gear and stopped spining.....lol

Bought a 22mm socket and an 18in long, 1/2in drive breaker bar at Sears on the way home from class tonight.

I DID IT!

WOOO!

Got that new strut top in and the new front strut bar on, using a temp nut in the front cause Toyota had to order mine, but it's torqued to spec so I'm happy!

Feels and sounds like everything is just fine! WOO!

I feel epic right now.

Thanks Josh for telling me about Tacoma Screw and being my carpool buddy and for holding stuff when I didn't have enough hands!

Well, I'd like to do something this summer too. I"d like to put a supercharger on my TC this year. If you put it on with an under the bumper intercooler how much HP will you have total?Stan

optional

MT or AT? I suspect MT from what you've been mentioning you drove before and all your track time.

Also as far as I know the intercooler pipes will have to be custom made, as there is no kit for it, but it should be good for 220-240 wheel horse power with a tune and a 9.5lb or 11lb pulley from NST.

depends on a-lot of factors. the stock supercharger ecu wont make the cut IMO. but with a different diameter super charger pulley, supporting mods, and engine management you could see some decent gains past the norm.

might be able to push the sc to make better boost.

honestly i would just go aftermarket turbo, like a descendant kit(comes with everything.

i would say ask this question in the FI (forced induction) boards, but be prepared for no help whatsoever from anyone in there.

the search function is your best friend on this site and a good way to keep on the mods good sides. see if it hasn't been asked before and if not post away in FI or send a pm to someone who has done something similar to what you are looking for.

happy hunting!

Fender rolling! t-minus 10 hours and counting!

Mark + Me + CJ + Fender Rolling Tool CJ Borrowed + CJ's Fender Rolling Buddy - $40 = Win!

oh hey a little tip on that, if you use a heat gun while rolling your fenders your paint is less prone to
fracturing and chipping while being rolled. just dont cook the paint, too much heat and it may bubble.

and if it does chip buy a cheap 1 dollar can of wall mart clear coat spray paint. and shoot it over
the chipped areas or bare metal.

it will keep your frame from developing cancer down the road.

heat gun harbor freight 20 bucks, making your fenders look professional (PRICELESS)
