    I'm definitely being very generous with the seals, one side was already poorly sealed when I pulled them apart. Gotta get these done tonight!

    This spring I will and I'll wrap it in a black Wheelskin.

    I had aspirations of adding a Celica GT or Supra GT steering wheel (black of course) but I can't seem to find one that doesn't require selling my house to fund.

    They needed to be resealed anyway, and it made it a bit easier positioning the bulbs. It wasn't necessary but worked out nicely

    Tranny? No filter just a screen.

    Fairly easy in that it's not very technical but it can be a bitch just getting the pan off. Other then that it's just bolts.

    Anyone heard of a ECM update for our first gens? I had a 4Runner guy tell me that after he had his timing belt changed his idle was a little different, slightly rough when idling. He said he took it to the dealer and they had a computer update. Ever since then his idle has been smooth and back to normal.

    It seems the same thing happened to mine after I had the timing belt changed about a year or so ago. Just curious if anyone has heard of this?
