Center Tunnel Cover

Recommended Posts

On mine, the center tunnel is covered by 3 aluminum sheets, each attached to the sides and top of the center tunnel by a bunch of self tapping screws.

 

 

 

Are the later cars the same way? For the Locost, they have one sheet folded over twice to form the tunnel sheet. Looks much cleaner.

 

 

 

I guess alot of people have carpet over it, so it doesn't matter.

My 90 has the multiple pannels which was great when a spring broke where the shifter ball fits preventing me from getting inot reverse. the Toyota folks by the way said that is a common thing to happen.

 

 

 

I know the bottom of the car coveris a bitch. I'm removing the differential carrier unit to change the gear ratio and it'covered with one piece with lots of pop rivits. I was able to disconnect the drive shaft and move it forward and hopefully I can get the carrier unit out without having to disconnect the axle from the frame.

I noticed that about the rear bottom cover. Mine is riveted as well.

 

 

 

Joe, what rear ratio did you decide to go with? I know you had something super high in your car.

 

 

 

Also, are you aware of any suppliers that make anything lower than a 4.10?

I got a original Supra rear from one of the list folks. I have to take my TRD LSD out of the old one and put it in the replacement. I think it's a 4.10 which might be a little better than my 5.33 that's in it now. I have a little trouble running out of RPM in 2nd gear on the autocross courses. Right now I start out in second and it spins the 10" Hoosier slicks pretty hard.
