I used to have an A1000.  Not sure if you've noticed, but they are kinda loud.

i doubt 3:73, however in my haste to get things together i never actually counted the teeth...though it was marked 3.08 :D
i changed from 3.90 so it wouldnt have changed things much going to 3:73, and its substantially different now...i have to elevate the car this weekend to adjust the Ebrake, ill roll the diff and count the turns to verify, wouldnt that just be messed up to get improperly marked gears after all the other troubles i have had in the last month .....

oh and no....this is the first time i noticed the A1000 noise..... ::)

straightened and repainted the rear bumper, its not "perfect" anymore...but most people will never notice, I will...but just going to have to live with it until I chance upon one that is better, which ya'll know isn't easy to find....I am still very amazed at how it withstood that impact, how the car managed to escape panel damage and at how i managed to collect my senses enough to not get myself put in jail...

Looks great.   I'm glad such a beautiful car wasn't destroyed by the hit.

in the sun the color doesnt match as good as i would have liked...but silver metallic is hard to match, you can hardly tell in the shade, but in direct sun its a bit darker, still looks better than it did all beat up and cracked paint, eventually ill repaint the whole car, at least it will be lookin good for DGRR

now its just little things project wise, finding tires, sorting out the speedo eventually, might upgrade the brakes, but honestly...i dont know why, the gslse brakes stop the car pretty hard....if it was a track car, yeah they would probably suffer fade, but as a street car that only sees hard braking occasionally, i have never complained.

also to come will be the conversion to the r154 toyota transmission, it doesnt need it yet...but i want to be ready if(when) it does break the T2. ill document that best i can for those in mind to add a beefier trans, because i intend to use the T2 bellhousing, therefore the mod will bolt to a rotary should anyone still have one.
