FYI, we have a donor for cp-e and they are going to start development on a MAF conversion kit for the 3.0. axon of YotaTech is dropping the 4R off next month. We'll let you know if they find horses hiding in there. (they expect 20 - 30 wheel HP.)

Then my guess is valve body.

Is there still trans fluid in there? Did you check the level? If you have a trans cooler like my old 'burban (I'm new to the runner) then it could have all leaked into the radiator leaving you with no trans. If you find it's bone dry, fill it up and then look for the leak. To my knowledge...

Yup. Unless you have someone drive there for you... :cool: Should be about four weeks if you're far, 1-2 if you're close (so you can come back for the production fit. Thanks for the tip. Just joined yota.

I talked to them last night and they are focused on the MAF conversion project for now. If there's interest, they'll make that. Here's the deal: It's not just an intake, it uses a MAF sensor instead of the VAFM (much more flow) to talk to the ECU about what kind of air you're getting. But...

I'll compile whatever I get into a wishlist for the shop. Thanks for the input. (sounds like you know what you're talking about!) BTW: From their past work I'm bettin' that they'd lose the VAFM and rig a MAF. They did it for another car and got big gains. I forget what model though. I'll...

I'm in the process of getting proto for my '04 Solara. I'm getting an intake with a MAF adjustment processor that leans out the mixture and a transmission shift kit from a shop in MD. When they found out I bought a T4R they were jazzed and asked if I'd trade cars when they're done with the...

G2 is flush with them folded down. Wheel wells stick up about 4-6" only. I can measure if you want. You could rip out the rear seats and build in storage to fill the gap. (killing two birds...) Shouldn't be too hard to do since the lower part swings forward and the upper part is hinged...

I have the moon roof so it's really two "map" lights each with a push button just over the rear view. DOH!!! Okay, I'm a complete moron... just went out to check and sure enough, there's a dome light way back there. Never saw it because the only time I thought about it was when it was...

For the Brake trouble, I'll bet dollars to donuts that you have air in your system after the caliper replacement. Bleed the line 'til you think it's clean, then bleed some more. There's always that tricky bubble that just won't come out until you've wasted a quart of DOT3. I have a neat...

Damn that's a sweet lookin' '94. Pretty impressive overhaul so far too. I'm new to the 4R but my old 'burban had wasted ball joints that caused a really loose front end feel. Also made it ineligible for alignment. Maybe if you take it to the local rack when she's back together they could...

Kelly BB was $8K, I paid $7K. Private sale was $6500. eh.... not the best deal but it'll last me. There was no sticker for the timing belt so I'm taking it on faith. I have to get the repair manual. If it's like the Camry, it's easy to pop off the upper cover and check the condition. CV...

Great, she checked out! Would have like to get a compression check but as I'm sure you guys know it would be 1-2 hours of labor to do that. I should have know, because I have the 92 Camry 3.0. Looks like the same engine sideways. Now to ditch the old rusty 'Burban... I promise not to let...

Just picked up a '95 w/ 104K miles on it. Sweet condition but I still have to take it to a mechanic for the check. Dealer wanted to seal the buy and gave me (in writing of course) the right to reverse the sale if we find something nasty. Engine's great but Tranny concerns me. Seems to...
