3SGTE's have no issues with crank walk so those are a waste of money (meaning money better left in your pocket)

I dont think they actually fitted it up solely for crank walk.
Either way, I have a girdle w/ studs and spacers I'd probably look at selling. If the engine ever gets back together I will be running the caldina pan which means this girdle will not work. Have been considering making myself a custom item but we'll see.

also finally got the rest of my braided hoses to finish off the coolant and w/a overflow lines.
and regarding the girdle, its more to prevent the flex through the block, causing cracks in the cyclinder walls.

I think i paid roughly 280-290 ish for the set from mvp motorsports... you may find them cheaper elsewhere from the US though..

yeah i will be at the next meet, however the mr2 wont be, still gotta finish painting it, get a dump pipe done, then get it wired up and tuned, plus iron out all the small bugs...
I am hoping to have it done by the end of the year, as I am away alot with work, so I get as much done as I can when I am around, and only on weekends though..

got a small bit of work done today:
- the tein flex were pulled out so I can rebuild them
- I've got a set of TEIN's SS, one of them needs rebuilding, how much would you charge? Just kidding, how does one go about rebuilding coilovers?

darius, in regards to the rebuild of the coilovers, I ended up getting a rebuild kit from a guy that use to do coilover repairs down here, but has since moved to England, but unless you can be that lucky and find someone with a kit like I did, i think the only other option for the teins is to send them to fulcrum to get them looked at..

i got the car back today with the new cold pipe and dump pipe made up, looks nice, fyi, i am yet to still heat wrap the dump pipe hence i told the mechanic not to worry about smoothness.
Also i am planning on wrapping the exhaust manifold and have a heat shield to go over it to protect the cold pipe from the heat.
