What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Hmmmm, something looks to be up with cylinder 1

 

Wondering if they look good

Let me get some better pics

 

Is it white residue? Like a flaky powder

 

It is white but not really flakey.

All of them have a good bit of carbon.

#2 was loose around January, guess they didnt get tightened that much. Fixed it when I noticed it

Put in new ngks, maybe the end of the year I'll have a mild turbo setup on it

 

Ah ok that looks better I was afraid you was burning coolant

 

Something that shouldn’t have taken an hour damn pin was super seized in there

The one that was underwater?

 

Damn suprised thats all that failed to be honest

 

Got my 2.0 SAWs up for sale here

Fresh rebuild on 'em

 

I would think so, just look for any burn spots or anything out of the ordinary.

 

Indefinite distance, Service history is unknown, towing speed limit of say 55?

 

That is a very very very old picture of the truck when it was still 99% stock. I had the original wheels, original fender flares, stock crank windows and manual everything, original Toyota grille and headlights, original California plates, no nerf bars, and most importantly, it’s still a 2WD PreRunner.

It took me and two other people the better part of an hour to put that freakin’ door back on. I never realized how hard it is to align properly and hold it there.

Here’s the door sitting inside my house.

 

Are you still overseas? I have a Hilux question and was hoping you might come across our truck’s overseas twin.

 

Got the dash cut and back in for testing the location of the A pillar part of the cage. Everything fits pretty good. Not perfect but really close.

 

I am still in Manila, yes. I get back on the 1st. I actually stopped by a Toyota dealership around here when the chauffeur needed a new key battery for his Fortuner.

I’m dropping by a auto scrapping district on Monday. Hoping I can find a 3RZ Supercharger or something equally as cool. Wonder if the TSA would get mad if I tried to carry on a 1KZ-TE.

I am curious as to the import rules for auto parts if you’re not shipping them. That would be unfortunate if I did find a 3RZ supercharger, and US customs confiscated it.

 

You may give me speed limits but you shall not take my MODS!!!!

 

What module is that? You sure can - it’s through hole so it should be relatively simple. Once you get into SMD/BGA soldering on more modern devices is when you run into issues.

 

Spoken like a true nerd
