I read on another forum (don't remember which one) that 2nd & 3rd gen seats will bolt right into a 1st-gen. True? False? If I have to do a little persuading, like SV said, then that's fine. Also read that Supra/Camry/MR2 seats fit with some light modification. Anyone try that? My first car was...

::Correction:: Rear springs are assumed to be stock. There are only 2 per side and they're pretty flat. The extra height for the tires was achieved by use of shackles.

Missing details, my fault. Torsions have a slight crank on them and rear leafs are stock. Forgot about dropping a bit of tire pressure. Good idea. Anyone else? Thoughts?

I've got an 86 5spd just recently finished: rebuilt engine & trans., rear diff, suspension (u-bolt flip, Bilstein shocks, diff armor, shackles), electrical and interior. 32" Yokohama ATs on Tacoma alloys. Built as a light expedition/camping vehicle for the Southern California deserts and...

Thanks for the welcome and input BucknutBob. I have a hunch it has been geared, probably not for 33s though. But since I don't have a stock one to compare it to, guess I need to open the rear end and start counting teeth. Or could I get away with counting driveshaft-to-tire rotations? Either...

I agree, RockinRunner, 33s seems a bit large to me too. I'm thinking of 32s or 31s on some nice Cragar 15x8s. But she runs like a champ. Rough MPG estimate is around 24, mostly highway driving. Hey TOY2G, you mean I could have saved myself the expense of a new head and just thrown a 3rd head...

IT LIVES!!! *evil laughter* So many hours and even more dollars later here we are. Rebuilt 22R-E (did you guys know that milling the head way past the stop mark and using 2 head gaskets doesn't work?:wow:), new clutch, new carpet, new dash, new stereo, muffler, catalytic converter and the...

Hello all- Name's Andrew and I just picked up a white/brown '86 5spd on 33s. Even came with a vicious engine knock >.< I'll post some pictures after I get it back from the rebuilders. Looking forward to talking with all of you. BTW - If anyone has any A/C related questions feel free to ask...
