Re: Project Lex

Tiny update: And yes it's held in place with it's own hardware, jackstands were just used to help me keep it level while I jacked it up with a floor jack.







And some pics before it went in all put together. So nice and clean!




This one you can kinda see the cleaned up diff cover bolts, and the cleaned up diff to subframe mounting bolts. Details...


And last one shows the homemade poly diff ear bushings in place. Basically goes subframe, large washer, poly bushing 1, diff ear, poly bushing 2 (stock metal insert is reused in the middle), then the stock concave washer cleaned up with a coat of silver. Thanks again K-dog

Re: Project Lex

Suspension is on. New rotors are on. Calipers on and bolts are TIGHT (for those who were on the fall cruise haha). Tightened up everything!

My cam cores came in, so I'll be sending them off to get reground tomorrow. The 2 missing bolts for my lower control arm showed up so will install them tomorrow as well. Then basically just need install the driveshaft, bleed the brakes, install exhaust, attach rear wheels, and fire her up and take it for a test drive around the block

You gotta 2jz? no shit!!

And lol, Jet, there's still a lot of shit I gotta do to the front half of the car now. Once this rear end is done, the motor/trans is coming out next. Ideally the longblock will stay assembled, but I want to replace any gaskets/seals that I see are leaking. I bought some BC valve springs that I'd like to install, and also these regrind cams. Then some other misc stuff like weld a drain fitting to the pan vs. the current bolted fitting.

Then start working on installing the new trans. That will probably take awhile and a bit of cursing.

Then install the IS300 ignition setup, and then build my FFIM.

Then when that's all done, do a little body stuff, paint.

So lots of stuff yet!

Re: Project Lex

Went out to button everything up. Found out the driveshaft won't bolt to the new diff. Research fail on my part, apparently I was supposed to swap out the flange from my old diff onto this one. Oops Diff has to come back out. Just the diff though, not the whole subframe atleast.

I'm trying to be the white Cee-Lo.

Also just took it for a spin around the block. All seems good! I actually really like how this diff feels with the 5spd. Gears feel a little longer than they used to. I've never driven a TT Auto rear diff 5spd combo, but hell I'd rock this rear end in a heart beat with a 5spd as a cheap alternative to a TT Auto one.

Only thing I notice on the test drive was the exhaust kinda hits the subframe every so often, which it did before. So that is something I think I'm going to address as well. I hurried myself too much building the exhaust, so I'm going to redo it and make sure I do as good and clean of a job as possible.

So with the test drive over, and rear end seems to be good as new, I'll be moving on to tearing into the front half of the car now
