My whole property's been burnt out but luckily it didn't quite reach the house. Been on the fire truck all weekend. I'm farkkkked. The corollas are safe!
I've had tires going flat on me before from sliding around whilst they didn't have enough air in them which let dirt get into the bit that seals and they would get a slow leak.... Maybe there's a bit of dirt in around the bead where it seals onto the rim?
I've got n12 pulsar seats in my 30. Had to modify the ke30 seat rails a bit to make them fit but they are a huge improvement on the original seats, way more supportive.
It's been a while since i took mine off my car so I'm not completely sure but from memory once you have taken off the black plastic covers there should be two bolts underneath the ignition barrel just undo those and it should come off.
I'm not too sure about the hoses and things but you could swap over the motor at the same time your doing the gearbox all in one go. Might save a bit of time from undoing all the bell housing bolts and you will have the more responsive motor.
If the radiator hose splits it may lose some water/coolant. So therefore the sender wont be in the water/coolant and will not give you an accurate reading. So the gauge would read cold but the engine could be overheating because there's no water in it from the split radiator hose.
