Any recommendations?????

I was thinking of either
a) jamming the bolt in there and putting a poop load of jbweld.
b) using a thicker bolt
c) selling it and trying something else
A) wrong its your set belt bolt and is a safetly equipement device that should not be hold on by jbweld
B) thats going to make the thread worse on the nut side
C) thats cool i might buy it lol or trying something else is cool

what i suggest to you is getting a new bolt from toyota... and getting a tap and dye and re-threading that nut to take a new bolt if you still wana try using it..

bring it on wed. and ill check it out...

Does anyone have a tap and die or a helicoil I could use?

*On a side, I love the mmw rear brace!!!!!! I can turn with more confidence now. The car doesn't feel like its going to tip over. wonderful mod. Not sure if the front strut did much, but every little suspension mod helps, i'm sure. I should have done my suspension mods, monthsssssssssssssssssssss ago, dammit, lol.

Dam, I wonder how your car feels, lol.

I just had an epiphany

Next time, I get a car. I'm definitely doing suspension 1st, and speed later. I love going fast and all, but its so much more fun when I can turn with confidence, and know that it turns when I want it to.

I'm thinking of getting one of these:

Twin scroll + VTG

Amazing!

I knew about each turbo technology individually. But it seems they've combined them. This probably spools up hella quick.

Charlie the unicorn is great lol

Ok guys, i dropped off the car today. While i was looking at it it appears as though the weapon-r header gets in the way of the goddamn gearbox which means it MIGHT have to be removed to get the gearbox out. If thats the case, im putting it back to stock, selling the weapon-r header and buying the DME one.

cool thanks guys, gonna go pickup that tranny fluid.

^ for a complete flush and refill you'll need about 1500ml aka 3pints. I'm using the motul RBF600 stuff from the stoptech stage 2 kit, came with 3 bottles of the stuff at 500ml / 1 pint each.
