this will probably only work for the clutch cable itself like am using rather than the dogbone cable though. i just use a small hose clamp to make sure the cable stays in the slot too.

Re: t5 swap question
hardware store clevis and pin, with a slot cut for the cable. need to grind two flat spots on the ball on the end of the cable too. i dont have pictures handy but my bell housing is sitting on the bench out in the shop so i can snap a pic easy enough.

Re: Turbo headers
all tube headers will eventually crack, just the nature of the beast. that said it can be improved by changing the bracing, what it comes with is all wrong.

Re: Fuel line AN adaptors
a plain old compression fitting works very well too. had to use those on the lines coming from the body because the double bump they have makes those fancy fittings not work.

Re: learning to weld - advice welcome
That is probably a decent enough welder if you do not plan on welding more than about 1/4" thickness. I would recommend going to gas as soon as you can, fluxcore is actually a bit harder to weld with and makes a huge mess. As for learning, wire feed is pretty darn easy, its point and shoot! Jus...

Re: De powering via pump.....
having been there done that, i agree with others, it is not a fun time. maybe if you could find the unobtanium manual steering rack with a more friendly ratio, but with the stocker it just is not fun.

Re: Supra Diff Install with pictures
the rear mount is still worked on a bit (when i have time to work with John, buying a house takes up sooo much time). one recommendation i would give is to make sure to do hard poly bushes (or even better, solid mount) on the two main beam mounting points. if the beam can move around at all, it will...

Re: Outer tca bushing check?
just grab a front wheel and try to move it to the front and back. if it moves any significant amount easily, the bushing is bad. but easier method; if they have never been replaced, they are bad.

Re: Paint in Cylinder head?
do not bother with a gasket on the exhaust manifold. the factory didnt use one and for good reason. a small leak due to lack of gasket is better than a large leak when the gasket inevitably blows apart. if you really think it needs to be sealed, a small amount of high temp rtv is enough.

Re: Paint in Cylinder head?
yeah that looks more like carbon buildup to me. in either case its not going to cause any problems.
the carbon buildup is evidence of leaking valve stem seals or bad pcv valve or similar though.

Re: New xr4ti issues
there are various options that work "ok", including intercooler with bov. but to get to something that works well, the only real option is a standalone ecu that uses a map sensor (speed density).
