el_bandido John - what's the timing belt like on the 1uz, just out of interest?

Black, it's got teeth and it's about 30mm wide. About 2m long?

I knew you would say that, as soon as I realised how I'd phrased that question.

If you meant changing it, it's basically the same process. Only the intake cam is belt driven, so I think the only difference is there's one extra idler.

Lifted the garage door and was not surprised when it fell off its hinges and smashed onto the floor - for a second I though the car was in the garage, lucky Heather had taken it out earlier in the day.............

New garage door needed. Just another thing to add the the house renovation list.

[COLOR="DarkOrchid"]Well .. some silly idiot chucked a £100 at me a few days ago and demanded I buy his parents a Christmas present from him! ... He has known me 25 years.. and you'd really think he'd know better than to try this one..

So I spent ages pondering what they would like, what they've had in previous years, what were the possibilities and then saw Garage Whifbitz were having a one day sale on their purple engine pulleys !!!! I wanted these so badly when I was building Sachi but just couldnt stretch to another £200 for something I didn't really need ( No-one understands how much I REALLY do NEED purple ) but at a bargain price of £107 including vat and delivery.... well... I used the money most efficiently!! I am currently watching the doorbell like a hawk waiting for the delivery Smile How exciting.. I hope his parents will like the boxes they came in Smile [/COLOR]

[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] [COLOR="DarkOrchid"]That symbol on the side of my door.. Definition by FirebirdPhil 'Translated it means -
"try to overtake - go on give it a go I dare you......." [/COLOR]
I'm not an Outlaw; I'm a Poutlaw! Purple Supras are the bestest! I love purple .. a lot lot lot Smile
