I wish i knew more about how a motor works, but leanring every day. I should of remembered the compression, maybe it was like 225/180/225/180 or something. Thanks for the compliment!

those cathode tubes are so fragile its insane. i was worried when installing a set for clokwerck, difference
was his has plastic housings around them (thank god), but instead of wiring them in i used clear silicone
to make mounts. worked great and helped a lot with vibration.
i think cliff has them now.. funny how things work out. lol
but they look really good when done.

He means instead of drilling more holes and using wiring to wrap around the back of them, or using the wiring at the tips as the sole point of mounting, he used clear silicone to hold it there.

Installed a trd rear sway bar and changed the front sway bar end link bushings with the energy suspension bushings ( best cheap mod that can be done)Amazing how much better the xb handles now.

Oh yeah? I was going to go for bushings in my next batch of mods too, I've got a lot of stuff lined up haha.
Currently offering up on a Tanabe Concept G in the Classifieds, and I've got the underdrive pulley to install, but want to get the rest of the set so I don't lose any alternator output.

well today i had to replace the header gasket because the new one i installed a few months ago had some burn out and so far so good, i had to buy the stock header gasket so i am crossing my fingers that this one holds up for as long as the first one from the first header lasted.

x2 on the ebay brad! Erik and I both drove the grey car like crazy and autoxed religiously until the day she sold and you have us beat on gaskets and headers. weapon R's 4-2-1 was the bees knees though. Buuuut we do have you beat on Tires and wheels

LED's I ordered for the license plate lights didn't fit and have basically stretched the oem socket so that normal bulbs don't fit as well either... so i've got to get those sockets replaced... and while back there my third brake light just fell into two pieces.
The seal holding the lens to the lights was all dry and cracked like it failed or something.. totally lame. Emailed 'partsdomain' on ebay, I've heard they're good about this stuff, we'll see.
Also broke a clip that holds the front bumper on next to the passenger headlight while putting on my doctor isotope radiator panel, oh well, have to go to toyota to get another set of clips anyway!
oh yeah, also while working on the brake light and the leds, the hinged clips for the rear body panel of the hatch broke off on both sides.. so now those are broken too, yay!
gogo tC!
