slngsht Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 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.
solder_guy Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Did you look at my car? Maybe mine is the same or different? Rob Mitchell, Atlanta, GA
slngsht Posted January 5, 2006 Author Posted January 5, 2006 not sure. I don't recall if yours was the same. But I did talk to dennis, and he said the later cars have a 6 piece design. There are 2 panels for each side (front panel and back panel)
Old Yellow Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 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. Joe Worsley
slngsht Posted January 5, 2006 Author Posted January 5, 2006 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?
Old Yellow Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 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. Joe
solder_guy Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 I got a original Supra rear from one of the list folks. That's the one that was mentioned about 4 months ago? Rob Mitchell, Atlanta, GA
