it's the imoc way mate

Yup i've got like 15k posts and i'm still asking dumb questions

People buy these things with intentions then never manage to do anything.

They are such good tires.

basically you're all saying i'm heavy handed and broke mine because i'm impatient..

That exhaust is a thing of beauty.

What colour is the smoke? do the cylinders smell of fuel when you take the spark plugs out? If it is water/coolant i would say headgasket issue. If this is a rev1/2 then it'll have the paper/fibre head gasket. rev3+ it'll be metal If it is the stem seals i would imagine it would be oil in the cylind...

didn't want it to leak i guess, i'd have thought they might have installed it the same way as the front window.

good call, honestly no idea why toyota made it so difficult.

it isn't a fun process and the chances of smashing the glass are high, then you've got not only to tidy up all the smashed glass but find a replacement.

Yes toyota didn't want it removed, but if you're gonna paint you'll want to get it out without damage.

Good luck

So i'm thinking of getting a replacement front stock suspension and sending the Tein to them and see how they get on unless I see a set of used ones or anyone has some for sale..? Dependin...

Well at least it is a simple fix, you can get that done and hopefully reach your goal

I've not had anything with midland turbo's

I did have a CT20B rebuilt with a steel impeller many years ago by Turbo Technics. They weren't too bad
