Hey folks,

Great weekend digging up in de car.


I bought an oil catch can and Strut bar from TSC.
I would highly recommend TSC to anyone, de man dependable, delivered when he said he would and the parts are great.


First, the Oil Catch Can was very easy to install and I don't know if its me but the engine sounds a little different after.
Oh yes, get ah Dremel power tool, that helped alot over the weekend.

I also reseted the ECU after, BIG difference, Its actually idling much better.

Second, The Strut bar.

EVERYONE, should install a strut bar in their rides.
It REALLY improves handling and cornering.
The car now sits on the road better and the sway on corners is very little.
It just feels much more SQUARE now
Also, it handles the rough road and speed bumps better.

To in point form:

Installed and Oil Catch Can
Reseted the ECU
Installed Front upper Strut Bar.

So de car coming along real good.

[D3monic]

Nice Stuff there Yofoot, glad to see things looking up holla at me when u have time to check the back cover for me like a sunday or something anytime that good with u good with me.

[nipples69]

using the three point original strut brace is better in terms of camber alignment, as well as working on that beast of an engine. it bolts to the two counter sunk holes that you drill out.

[Yofoot]

Hey fellas,

Well de car by the mechanic.

I am upgrading the Brakes and suspension and engine mounts.

I am putting larger Levin Air cooled Spindles in the front and dics brakes in the back.

I got some used After Market performance Shocks and springs.

I will also install the rear lower anti-roll bar and the front lower tie bar.

Yes, major upgrades, this should go a long way to improve the handling of the car.

Oh yes... and I might get a PWR/MANU Switch too!!!!!!!!!!!



I will try to take some pixs... will keep you guys updated.

Where that air filter is pointed , alot of the hot air off the engine will be drafted onto the filter and this can play havoc with your air /fuel mixture strength and pressure since hotter air has a lower pressure and has a tendency to move fast In my ae90 the battery has been re loctaed to the back to aloow the filter to point straight down inside the appron to a cooler area .It also helps the filter to be less impacted by the heat which could shrink the packing.

grEAt stuff man hurry an post pictures

(when ah get some more cash!)

the good thing is its something i can do.

[AllTrac]

top work there yofoot!

[rolling_hard]

what after market performance shocks and springs u using?

[Yofoot]

I will post the specs and pics when i get the time to check.

I just know that the spring and shocks are yellow.(I know that does not really help)

[DownesDigital]

you under gearbox?

what is the purpose of the catch can

[Yofoot]

no automatic.

De oil catch is to catch the oil from the head that usually just goes back into the throttles.

[Zeriam]

it have a filteR u could use too but i'd suspect thE oil catch might be bEttER in thE long run

[D3monic]

Way is all that goin on there boy Yofoot, glad to see things going good with the ride hope u could make it to the next toyota lime so we could get a glimpse of your second wife lol

[Zeriam]

we go call 1 when i come back out on thE road nah i refuse to drive that b13 for any kinda long distance

[Hook]

the filter is more widely used, but the catch can is better....for proper crankcase ventilation, you need a PCV valve between camcover and manifold and a separate vacuum line from camcover back to the intake

the OCC placed in series with the intake hose traps the oil vapors before they get to gumming up the throttlebodies without compromising the operation of crankcase ventilation
