That sucks I hope you can still hold out and do the W58 swap but that is a lot of work when you need the car to run as your DD. At the very least, since you may consider rebuilding the auto tranny anyway it may make a lot of sense to do a mild torque convertor upgrade. It's not a W58 conversion but will be a bit more fun.

While bleeding my brakes today, my right rear bleeder decided to break. I then tried to extract it with an easy out, and the easy out broke inside of the bleeder.

End result: I now own two newly rebuilt rear calipers

I need to get a license plate that says COSTNME

^^ I bought that exact doriten on thursday. i never knew saito daigo owned a soarer before his monster jzx100chaser/cresta. and the dude's crazy for cutting up his frame like that... it did make me want a mk4 supra rear subframe though.

I drove it around all day. Despite gas prices, it's nice to drive the car around instead of my daily driver.

I plan on washing the car tomorrow since it's covered in dust.
