ok then it will be the first method that you will need. If the clutch needs to be engaging/disengaging closer to the floor I think you'd need to screw the pushrod in.

Can I just say I had the pleasure of going for a ride in Bens SC AW11 on the weekend, it was, amazing, I reckon it pulls a lot more than a Gen 3 3S-GTE! Loved it....now do I turn away from the SW20's to the dark side...I must say SC's seem a little addictive.

im having dramas of my own. Ive had the driveshaft seals replaced but the gearbox still seems to be leaking oil (hope its not a cracked case again) i went around a corner today and the damn thing open wheeld the whole way. grrrr bloody shitty gearboxes its costin me a small fortune in oil too.
How did everyone else mount their gearbox when they did their s/c conversion?
I used the n/a left gearbox mount. Ive heard that people had problems with the driveshaft touching the a arm but i seem to be having no such problems and the engine and gearbox sit level. I wonder if this may be contributing to my problems.

Doods,
Some excellent AW11s !!
I have two, an NA that i have had for 15 years and an SC that i have had for 6 months.
Have been thinking about going GTE, would love to hook up and go for a spin with someone who has one of these beasts. What is the possibility of meeting some of you Sydney siders.
125 kw at the wheels if fun but 150 plus sounds like mooore fun !

Im about an hours west of Melbourne. Before i bought mine i put a post up on the mr2 forum asking if anyone had one for sale and the previous owner e-mailed me some details etc. Nice car, but no T-tops which is what stoped me from looking at the car in more detail. Also saw it at last years aniversary run in melbourne.

Andrew who told you your steering rack is gone? or what is happening with it?
I got some opinions when mine started to shake a bit all the places said yeah its fucked needs a rebuild, but after looking at a few AW11 sites it said a common problem is the inner rack bush. so I pulled mine out, had a look, in the end (left) of the rack there is a plastic bush that wears out, I pulled mine out got a new one from toyota for $7, put it in and presto, no more steering shakes. took me about 30mins to change over.

Well,
My '89 SC Hardtop took a turn for the worse last night - careering off an embankment, hitting a tree, rolling and coming to rest on another tree.
I have had the car recovered and its not looking too good.
Ill keep you updated as to if it can be salvaged.
Anyone got a spare rolling shell? (mine still runs)

Yeah guys the part number for the steering rack bush is T/4552217020 According to my recipt it acctually costs $9.20 it only cost me $7.25 cause I now know my local toyota blokes by name and they give me trade prices, hell I have bought enough shit off them over the last 4 years, they do an awsome job .
Starfire damn man what happened or don't you wanna disclose that info, bummer about the car you haven't had it for long right?

Thanks for the help, will give it a try, i am new to this stuff.
How is your beast going ??
I have the Eibachs in mine now, the springs are a bit weird in that 3 to 4 coils actually bind up, is that how yours are ??
Also i am going to race the State supersprint championship, will be in Wakefeild on 17 April it would be good to see you there .

If you guys only knew how much time and swearing went into that manifold you would be shocked
Now that i have some time to piss fart around i might try to make another one. I borrowed a t28 off my mate and i have my old block here so i can position it the way i want and knock one up
Which reminds me, i still have to finish my new dump pipe 
i'll probably be selling my old manifold when i get my car back so that will be up for grabs.
In the mean time, my car will be back at the end of next week so im hanging out for that..........

My turbo is a t28 so yes it will fit. You can also use the a/c as well but you need a fairly tight dump pipe. but hey, mine worked out fine and still made good power.
Hopefully i will see it by next friday so fingers crossed.
The old manifold is with my car so i cant get it back till i get my car back. So as long as you arent in a rush it should be good.

Doods,
Still waiting on an invitation for someone to take me for a spin in a GTE, anyone in Sydney got one on the road at the moment ??
Would love to compare it to my 94 GZE, motec equipped beast ??
I am keen to get some ideas for the future, GTE sounds very good but want to feel how they drive.
Furthermore anyone interested in an AW11 get together, let me know i would be happy to organise one.

Would love to compare it to my 94 GZE, motec equipped beast ??
I am keen to get some ideas for the future, GTE sounds very good but want to feel how they drive.
Furthermore anyone interested in an AW11 get together, let me know i would be happy to organise one.

Yeah I think near everyone on this thread has been for a ride in the feral by now. I was impressed that the little beast still pulls nicely with all that added weight from the kit and subs... and spare tyre rack!
