QUOTE (njccmd2002 @ May 23, 2014 - 1:39 PM) pretty, why did u decide not to paint inside. it will prevent rust... Because the powdercoat has a certain thickness to it, I didn't want to coat the inside for fear that the poly bushings would fail to go in properly. I was thinking about a few quick sprays with paint to help prevent rusting. -------------------- |

I wouldn't worry about painting the inside.
The grease on the bushings will prevent rust. Looks sweet mang. -------------------- |

^ No worries.
Need to create some type of blocking plate for my MR2 E153 LSD. Does anyone have any tried and true suggestions - with photo? Would my best bet be to weld an aluminum plate? Thanks. For reference: MR2 E153 unmodified shifter:  Now with FWD selector installed:  Camry E153:  -------------------- |

Just went through the last few years of work and I'm really impressed, man. I got a quick question for ya. When you got the Timken wheel bearings, did they come with all the proper seals or did you have to order them separately? I saw wheel seals on your part sheet, but I'm not doing a 5x114 conversion and I dunno if those seals are specifically for that.

Would have to get a really good snug fit, then maybe some sealer as extra precaution?

The wheel bearings and seals are the correct ones for both 5x100 and 5x114. So order with confidence. This post has been edited by Fate: Jun 29, 2014 - 1:44 PM -------------------- |

Well I went to my local pool store to pick up some expandable rubber plugs and begin test fitting. I then went to McMaster-Carr and ordered the correct size in silicone as it can withstand higher temperatures. I imagine it will hold up better over time.

Nothing too crazy to update - inner/outer tie rods, rear sway, lightened flywheel, clutch and LSD transmission, installed. Will have the front end finally off jack stands by the end of the week, then to tackle the rear.
PHOTO DUMP:  Photo comparison of stock inner vs. Deeza brand tie rods. Very impressed with this company based out of Turkey, high quality.   ACT Prolite Flywheel (p#: 600390) with ARP Flywheel bolts (p#: 203-2801)  South Bend Clutch, Stage 2 "Endurance" (p#: K16062-HD-OFE)  Converted MR2 E-153  Change of jack and done.
