To on it external that is .. I haven't even got to drift yet .. Cuz my diff is going out .. So I was cruising it till next year .. But now next year I have to rebuild the motor. fully. so sorry diff you'll just have to wait it out longer ..I will be opening it tomorrow see what the knock is.. Maybe I can make two silvertops to one.. Hopefully.. :/

So sorry to hear Anibal. The motors ARE old when we put them in the bay and many of them not well taken care of before we get them unfortunately.

One note Mckenney and I found out, is that the brake boosters for coupes are different then hatches. Oreillys part number is for the hatch only

Yeah and I did end up
Getting a slave cylinder from a 82 corolla and it was the right one for my 85 gts .. So Autozone/ O'rillys do have the backwards .. Did install the 82 corolla on my 85 and I had to bend the line to make it fit . It work but was horrible cuz it was a little short ..I did it cuz I wanted to drive it already ..

I will agree here about trusting Mckenney, he does know his stuff. I have known him about 9 years, and if he says he got it covered, he does.
