i joined it would seem back in 2010 lol My name is as you may have guessed jamie. i run a toyota tuning parts company, we design, manufacturer and supply performance parts for peformance japanese cars. we currently specialise in the mr2 and celica range, but some parts are...

im sorry where is the "give" you talk about in a spherical bearing?? the only movement it has is on an axes that the gear linkages dont use... if they did then they would lock up when brass bushes were used.. The fact they can pivet in a direction the linkages dont move in does not give...

no dave, what im saying is these are designed to have give, removing that give will cause it to go elsewhere. if something has a solid link it should stay a solid link if not then it shouldnt be changed to one. Keep using solid bushes in your cars and it wont be the smell of sales patter youll...

Jelly ones now there is an idea lol getting a mould would be the hard bit lol and what flavour to choose lol drag application yes you want changes as sharp as you can, to be fair if you are noticing that much boost drop off at a millisecond, for one you can count very quick lol and secondly...

i dont understand your comment, spherical bearings are solid units in the way they have no give or movement where it is required, the only way spherical bearings would be different is that they had a rotational collar but that doesnt effect the bushes or linkages as they only have one axes of...

again i dont mean to step on anyones toes, i only want whats best for the cars and the owners. if i need to buy traders status to continue on this conversation then i will, to keep everyone happy.

how do the sperical ones effect the gear box synchros with them being solid bushes. we have done over a year of testing with all types of these from brass ones to bearings to our poly ones. we found that any of the solid bushes caused premature synchro failure, as they have no mechanical...

no worries, again i appologies for any impositions.

yes im afraid, but im not here to advertise my wares, im simply trying to enquire if our parts will also fit the starlet as we were asked the question and didnt know if it would or not, i appologies for listing the links above, but just thought your members would like an alternative when that...
