im doing a 7mgte w58 swap here soon
To use a W58 with a GTE you need GE flywheel, clutch, throwout bearing, etc. The R154 that comes on the GTE cars uses a "pull" style clutch and a different flywheel that won't work with the W58.
Master is from a MA60 Celica-Supra, but others will work as well
Slave is from an MA70 Supra
Pedal is from an AE86 (direct bolt on)
You can also buy a whole pedal assembly from here:
As well as a clutch line

Ever since I bought the car the HVAC controls have been very hit or miss. There are four fan speeds: Auto, Off, Low, and High. Off obviously worked, but Low never did and High was intermittent. Basically to have any fan at all I'd have to use Auto which varies in speed depending on the temperature in the car. So I overheard somebody talking about a blower motor resistor pack. I'd never heard of it so I googled and low and behold it could be the issue. So I looked it up at work and it was a whopping $12. Discontinued. One left in the country. Bought. Installed. Fixed.
Here's the old one. Several broken connections, deteriorated metal, and generally garbage condition.
Here's the new one. So shiny and functional-looking.
SUCCESS!@thedailydownshift

I swapped out the front parking light peanut bulbs for some LED's and holy god are they bright. And awesome. I did the same on my MR2 (euro dual bulb housings ftw) and it just looks awesome.
Tomorrow my skid plate should be arriving, but more importantly weather permitting I will probably be putting the car in the air and pulling the diff out to investigate my clunk. I'm almost positive it's the spider gears. I'm going to bring the diff into work and have one of the mechanics look at it (the guy restores vintage Land Cruisers, so he knows a thing or two about diffs). The fix will consist of either new shim washers to get proper clearance of the spider gears (like $10), or a spider gear kit with new gears (like $165, with only two left in the country last I checked). So hopefully I'll be rid of this awful rear end clunk relatively soon.@thedailydownshift

Anyhow, I got the diff out today. I think there are some clearance issues with both the spider gears AND the ring/pinion. Neither are terrible, but I think a combination of the two is leading to too much play. I'll be taking it in to work with me tomorrow. Hopefully one of the techs will be able to help me sort it out.
Also, this came in
