I have been notified of some cars that are or are about to come up for sale. The economy makes them available and me not able to purchase them for myself. One...
I have seen these smaller diameter hubcaps before in Japan. They are plastic. Anybody know the story? http://page13.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r52643962 I...
I can guess as well as anybody, so here goes: All of the Sports 800's came with the full wheel covers (either 8 slots, or 10 slots after UP15-11362). Upscale...
Apparently the seller isn't sure if the part is original or aftermarket. From looking at it I'd guess aftermarket since there doesn't seem to be anything...
Has anyone converted a 'U' engine to a 2U. 700-800. Are the crankcases and crankshafts the same. Is it feasable to convert? Would appreciate anyones input. ...
Cranks are the same but the smaller bore makes the case, heads, and barrels too different to convert. Maybe use the U at 700cc and do a carb, cam, and...
Thanks for the info. I have three 'U' engines. One came as spare parts, one was fitted to the car and I purchased the other through ebay. One engine has top...
Hi David & Bill I am curious about the differences in the two engines. David says that the cranks are the same so the entire displacement increase is done by...
Yes the increase is by the bore only. The difficulty in using the 700 block is the cylinder stud centers are closer than the 800. I had a 700 motor to compare...
Hi David Thanks for the information about the 700 engine. I did not know about the stud spacing difference. Of course, that would make everything very...
Did you see the Maine Line Exotics ad in the Sports Car Market Letter? They have a 2000GT for sale. Price is $450K. Well, asking is not getting, but still........
Congratulations on the new baby! Throw out bearings are available intermittantly online. Check the number, you might get one from a local NAPA dealer. If I...
Some time ago there was a discussion of fuel filters. Michael has a whole set of photos in the Parts album under photos. If I recall right the paper filters...
Well all we are back from the TORC show in Long Beach. Happy to say the truck took 1st place in the work in progress group. Not to bad for my first time...
Curt, it was nice to meet you and your wife, and of course, your car [;)] ~ For me, TORC and Toyotafest is all about cars like yours and the people behind...
Mike, Any leads on clutch throwout bearings for Sport 800. I need a couple (One to pay back Rich). I tried ALL the cross refrences and came up blank. Bill...
Bill, Not much luck lately with any of the parts. Seems we've either dried up our sources or the stuff really just isn't available any longer. I'll double...
Really nice pickup. And I can see that this has been a labor of love. Not sure, but this is probably the only one in the country. I do not know your situation,...
The original rim may not be a problem. As discussed elsewhere on the forum, the early Corolla had a cheapie version, (the Sprinter?) rubber mats and 12 inch...
Hello I have some S800 Clutch bearings, but are number 90363-28008, the early number. I think they would work in Bill´s car. They work in mine. Bill, I...
Mike Looking at the cap you have and the pictures I have seen of other publica's, that is a full cap and I would need a center cap as the rim in the center...
