WTB: TE72 Power Steering Line Fittings

I replaced my manual gearbox with a power and now I'm looking to make up a set of custom lines for my 82 TE72 power gearbox. I just need the section of the OE lines that leave the gearbox. You could even cut them for easy shipping and you won't have to take the time to pull the rest of the lines/coo...

TE72 Manual vs. Power Steering Gearbox

So my manual gearbox on my 82 wagon has leaked all of its oil out - it stopped dripping out of the sector shaft seal several months ago. Now steering seems to be getting a little harder by the week... Anyway, I'm in the market for a new gearbox and it seems just about the only thing out there is for...

Any Meetups in SF Bay Area? Northern California - Oakland

I made it to the NorCal Old School Import Meet once - which happens the last Thursday of each month at 6pm 3605 El Camino Real Santa Clara. It was a good turnout of some unique rides, I'd recommend it. Mostly Datsuns, but stuff people put a lot of good work into. I've heard about, but not been to: C...

Re: EFI Fuel Tank Options - No Fuel Slosh Starve Starving Su

I had this very same problem on my car when I went EFI, it would surge below about 1/3rd tank. I came up with a pretty simple solution that works perfectly. Like other solutions above it allows you to use the full extent of the tank too. Can be done with a few bucks worth of steel, MIG welder, cutof...

Re: BRD racing

I met Randy in person when I purchased my 82 Corolla wagon from him back in late 2009. He's a super nice guy that eats, sleeps and breaths 3TCs. I'd trust him to do great work.

Awesome, I always keep an eye out for 1st gen mr2 seats in brown, but have never come across a pair. Are these from a first gen? Do they bolt right up?

Thanks,

Re: How I fixed my cracked dash in my 82 Rolla Wagon

Just wanted to post an update. I ended up having a local shop, Alameda Auto Upholstery (510) 523-7551, recover my dash and I'm really happy with it! Even filled in the useless "tray" on the passenger side. Been holding up great for about 6 months so far. Jose, who is also a an import wagon...
