1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

They do not have pistons. Trust me. I’ll rebuild. But my pistons are so pitted it rolled the square cut seal and wedged it. Hence why the pedal goes to the floor and nothing really slows down

 

I didnt know what year


my bad. Rears… reading are hard sometimes.

 

I know I am. Perfect choices would have saved me a couple grand. I am a questionable decision maker however.

 

Thinking of getting a second gen............

That's a Turd Gen, thank you very much. It goes 1st Gen, 2nd Gen, Turd Gen, Third Gen.

 

They turned cantilever into "can't I lever?"

 

I don't dare venture outside of first gen forums here so I wasn't completely sure which gen it was. Lol.

 

You're technically correct because Toyota calls the 2007-2021 2nd gen, but the 2014-2021 earned the Turd Gen moniker from you 1GTs, and I'm not gonna let some turbo V6 steal that from me.

 

Hell yeah.

 

Is there a MR2 forum? You can go there, but you can't share your sexy voice with them.

 

Did you go in an entirely different direction than the custom diamondback covers?

 

Where's that brine truck at?

This was clean Monday morning.

 

I like that the fella that built this was like, "We're going to do some rad shit with no rad parts." And then fucking killed it.
I bet that thing weighs 2-3 tons with all that steel. But it's super cool to design and execute your own suspension like this.

Wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to dual real caliper that thing? One pair of custom brackets, one pair of Wilwood 4 pots, one pair of Wilwood parking calipers. Then, you can do Wilwood 4 or 6 pots for the front and with all those calipers and brackets and rotors, still be under 2200. Hell, even a prop valve is ~$100. Or go full race and dual-master that ho.

 

Why slow down? You'll just need to speed up again later anyway.

Mockingbirds. Those bastards are the worst. AND they're protected species so you can't do shit in retaliation.

 

@daveeasa did you weigh your truck to learn what it really weighs loaded the way you’d like to run it, or was that +400# based on a guesstimate of the weight of the equipment you’d like to carry? Deaver is more likely to help you if you weighed the truck, front and back separately, and told them those weights and that you’d like to carry 400# without squat. I bought a HD spring pack from Deaver… someone else’s order that didn’t get picked up and I was in a crisis hurry for the same pack… and it rode stink bug high when we first installed. But less gear weight than I spec’d leveled it. Knowing exactly what the truck weighs is a necessary to build the leaf pack you want— and even that, I’m thinking, isn’t a sure thing. I think it’s a bit of a myth, gaining a bunch of lift via leafs but, as @alb1k alluded, the better trade-off is to get as much lift as you can, assuming you want it to perform well, then you can put heavy stuff in the bed if you want it to look level for picture day.

 

Found it!


i know its photochop, but the theory stands.

 

The brackets to do that with the ultralite Calipers is 2250.


Wilwood has increased prices since the pandemic like everyone else

 

What year is the Mr. Too? I see lots of rear caliper options for several year models. Surely something available out there could work. Not sure which exact setup you have/want though.

 

I will never understand people who do this. It's the most bizarre form of laziness I can think of. Judging by the junk and condition of the barn, the guy just looks like a slob.

 

I will say though, I've had some pretty incredible "time capsule" level scores from people who do stuff like that.

I've also SMH more than my fair share at people who've let "time capsule" level scores disintegrate into unusable garbage doing the same, though.

 

my novas been sitting for 10 years or so… i used to have friends that would come by and help with stuff, but moving to the hill country and becoming a hermit means im juggling all my irons over a much smaller fire.

but yea, im a total slob. Most of my junk is hidden from the street, but you have to dance over junk in and around my shop.

 

OOF.
I meant to make your own brackets.

But if you can do BBK all around for ~$2250, that's not bad at all. Your original post lead me to believe you meant $2250 per axle.

 

Yeah, I kept the fiberglass tonneau on there. The rack setup I got was too low and too narrow, so I've been working out how to raise it and get a wider stance. The Diamondback would give me that rear hinged lid; for a while I was going to cut my tonneau and hinge it, but I now think that would be a rabbit hole I don't want to do down.

 

How many doors and cylinders?

 

2 door 355 lt1/th350/3.73 10 bolt. (Double hump lt1, not the 90’s lt1)
Lunati cam
Weiand contender intake
Demon 750
B&m trans w/ 2500ish stall
Some sort of lsd
16” iroc wheels…

super cool in its day for a highschool kid. Didnt have time to tinker with it when i had a real job and couldnt afford stuff when living with a gf.

kinda lost interest when i got into sportbikes. Figure i’ll get back into it if i cripple myself.

my best was 12.6@112 on slicks showing threads.

willing to trade for cool junk. Looking for something with a flathead v8 or wankel.

 

Exactly. I can somewhat understand if someone doesn't want to(or can't) drive a vehicle. What I don't get is letting it just decay to the point it's useless. Starting something once a quarter and blowing the dust off is not that hard.

I had a friend that inherited some motorcycles and just stuck them in his crawl space to collect dirt. Claimed he didn't have time to ride them.

 

Yeah those GF can be pretty spendy.

wish I had the space, but where I'd have to put it it'd be liable to get stolen. For the same reason I don't have any of the willing-to-trade stuff.

 

Yea, i bought land so id have room for junk. That part is working out swimmingly. But, now ive got all the junk. And spend ‘too much’ time at the river, on motorcycles, and doing yard stuff. Drained my pond before panhandlemonium, and still havent refilled it.

 

I've got 3 cool junks I'll trade you. I'd just have to find a new place to lock my bike up....
