I'm getting close to buying a daily I think, the Porsche is running a little weird after driving it for the last week since getting it back from the workshop.
I might go over it Saturday completely myself, see if they didn't tighten something and double check things. Tempted to remove the CIS and do all the gaskets this weekend too, but I have to be able to drive it Monday. Sucks.

Since I'm taking forever to just get a daily, I'm keeping an eye on a used long block for the Corolla.
Remove engine
Remove power steering components and rack
Clean bay
Install manual rack
Install new engine
Get old engine rebuilt
Rebuild extra diff
Swap in rear Swift springs 4.5k

Damn, that sounds like a decent list!
What is the benefit of no power steering components, does it clean up the bay a hell of a lot?
Did you have any pictures of current bay setup? I'm interested!
I've just found a little guide for removing the CIS without doing an engine drop, it actually sounds relatively simple other than a sore back. I just have to do it though I think, I have all the gaskets I need to replace everything so that is nice.
Now need to sort out the tools necessary.

No power steering does clean up the bay but mostly the function of manual steering in a lightweight car just gives you more feedback overall. Some people just remove the pump and reservoir while installing a different size belt, and looping the line back into the power rack. The PS rack itself is a lot heavier so there's more weight loss.
I have pics somewhere but the bay is basically all original minus plug wires.
There's a bunch of other shit that needs to get done but that's the basis of getting the car back on the road.
Once I do that, I'll reward myself with some 14" RPF1s.

They're pretty good cars to be honest. My mom has owned a 93 and a 97 both went 250k+ with minimal maintenance. 2 starters, 2 alternators and a shitload of oil changes. They never did well because they were marketed during the heyday of Honda and Toyota reliability.
