Get the TRD clutch and flywheel man, cos i am looking one too, ring some parts in hk and quoted me around $1100 for both, but need shipping and may incur tax if not lucky, if you are interested I can ring and ask for any discount for 2

I'm almost inclined to say congratulations on needing a new clutch!

Haven't you had issues with it anyway? While it is an expense at least you have some good options available.

the exedy HD clutch with pretty much any good branded light weight flywheel is a good combo :D

Everytime I ring a place enquirying about an Exedy sports tuff heavy duty clutch I get "Why would you need a heavy duty clutch in a corolla?!"

Dude if your girlfriend/wife drives the car as well then the HD clutch may not be the way to go.

if a female can't handle an exedy HD pressure plate, then she shouldn't be driving a manual.

The pedal's usually lighter than stock.

i heard somewhere (probably i heard from this site) that its not necessarily the best idea to put HD clutches in stock cars, cos its moves the week point of the drive line to the tranny or something..... im not entirely sure so, im just sayin... please fill me in if im wrong or dnt have the whole idea

hahahahahah yeah these types of guys crack me up ...... was funny i rang up autobarn for a hose to go to my BOV n the dude was like "wat car" .... "why BOV" .... was in totally dis-belief that i was off my nut .... lol ... so i went down there to pick out the hose i would need ..... needless to say i had the entire autobarn staff out the front with my bonnet up ..... the look on their faces was mastercard material ..... that attitude just ****s me ..... in all honesty like ive said before .... my automated response is im not a sheep and im not planning to be like everyone else ......

anyway back on topic .... black turkey the exedy HD is by no mean a clutch thats going to start stressing everything else but its the simple laws of mechanics .... strengthen the weakest point and u just made something else the weakest point ..... this is something thats not avoidable ..... that being said ive been driving on these clutches for 80K km's no probs.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
