i have tried rust electrolysis in soda solution but wasn't very pleased. rust flakes went off but metal was still rusty (but acceptable for rust converting paints). maybe i didn't leave it there long enough.

speed-source. their shipping selector is broken and so only the most expensive shipping methods can be selected, so I had to do it via virtual address provider

Re: Mk1 Supercharger Conversion Engine Mount Strengthening
just ordered my poly mounts. is it enough to reinforce just the front mount right? i believe the front mount is the one that gets shock-loaded after vigorous launch.

Re: Problems after ST165 brake upgrade
The closest rotors to what you need are ST165 celica fronts or SV21-25 camry fronts. I went with the camry ones as they are +-0.1mm the same height as MK1b fronts. I didn't account for pad carrier thickness increase though so that's maybe why ST165 rotors might be the best fit (they sit 1.5mm closer...

Re: Alternator problem?
if the rubber boot looks like an odd bell, it could be intended for vacuum sensor that sends signal to "economy"-useless meter. uk cars have voltmeter there on dashboard so you don't need it

Re: 4AGE 16v Cam Gears, Valve springs, Cams
