AW11 MR2 TECHNO TOY TUNING rear toe links unboxing and overview

[@coalhouse_walkerjnr4735]

Thanks, once again! You got me back into an Mk1 MR2 (my 5th) after 30 years. Now, after a failed 4W alignment session this afternoon, you've explained to me how to replace my rear tie rod arms in a simple way. You're the MR2 information gift that just keeps giving. So here's some giving back!! Thanks. Sam

[@d4a]

Thank you so much! Sincerely appreciate it. It's inspirational to hear someone coming back after so long

[@toekneefurareoh]

It’s great you can still get quality aftermarket support for a car this old, many 20-30 year old cars unfortunately require you to fab your own pieces.

[@toekneefurareoh]

I can’t wait too see this car on the road too, been following this build for awhile, glad to see you sticking with it!

[@alycestapleton]

Tony Ferraro not so you can still get parts very easily

[@Limeayy]

Awesome Heim joints/spherical ball joints. They have very good free movement of your suspension. Rubber has Stiction but not as bad as poly and Polyurethane is EVEN A WORSE OPTION! 7:14, Spherical bearings will not outlast the vehicle. They should wear out faster than the rubber bushings all around your vehicle because dirt and debris can get into the joints and so forth. Metal on metal contact will cause wear, i hear on forums Spherical bearings should last like 50k miles before replacing. Still great imo, i'm thinking about doing that on a s2000, all spherical bushings and bearings.

looks like you know your stuff dude! Keep up informing the masses!!

[@petesky007]

If in doubt, coat the vulnerable parts in copper grease and that should keep corrosion at bay.

[@glas5eye]

no lie i just got the front and rear control arms for my aw11 from techo toy tunning and they look amazing! i would highly recommend

[@irvthevalet3328]

How’s the drive ?

[@josephsamsor1698]

I was considering getting some parts from here for my 81 celica.

[@tonycruise]

i have 81 celica as well =)

[@Starfireaw11]

I've got a full set of T3 suspension components for my AW11. I haven't fitted it yet, but a number of the parts have scratches and dings on them and the anodising colour is not consistent. Sure, these are just cosmetic issues, but when you're paying top dollar for aftermarket components, packaging and appearance are important.

Just found ur channel,awesome stuff! Pozdrav!

[@fraymond3]

Good stuff man!

Hey D4A. Love your show! Currently in the process of tearing apart my suspension of my 87AW11 I bought last autumn. I actually sheared one of my front tension control arms in half trying to loosen the 22mm bolt believe it or not, so I know I'll have to eventually replace them both with T3's. Lol. xD I'm sure I'll have to replace the rear toe links as well with the T3's, BUT my question is.... Do the rear toe links take bushings on the one side that connects to the frame?? Big thanks! _o_

[@d4a]

I believe everything when it comes to suspension rust. You'll need to clarify that question a bit tho.

[@kyleoconnor6567]

@@d4a okay I'll try to explain better. On the old rear toe links there are 2 sides, one side has rubber bushings and a sleeve for what I think is a 22mm bolt that will go through it. The other side is like a ball joint type thing with grease. So I guess I am asking... On the *old* rear toe link, there is one side that has *bushings* and a sleeve for a through bolt.... And now compare above mentioned side to the *new* rear toe links and there is *no bushings* needed to be used there? Hopefully you can answer. Thank you.

I was hoping he'd go for the pizza cutter XD

[@trevorcannavo]

T3 offers a 15" and 13" toe links for the AW11. My Aw11 is lowered with coilovers and I plan on fully building out the suspension for track/aggressive street. What size toe link do i need?

[@yotasinthewild]

Do you know what the part number is for these? I don't see them on their website anymore, only the full kits, which I don't need.

[@kylecalobtraceharper]

Hey man I was wondering if you could could give me the length of the threaded aluminum tube I'm looking into making my own set

[@mojosodop3357]

Are you gonna buy all the t3 suspension parts from techno you tunning that would be sweet(;

[@d4a]

Maybe, bit by bit :) I did just rebuild my struts with koni yellows and eibach pro kit springs.

[@nick_parker]

Is the TTT red bar made of steel or aluminium? Are the fasteners metric?

[@KgreProductions]

Mmm new parts

[@cristianpaolocoradocordero6850]

How many pounds weigh the package?? and thanks for the video

[@d4a]

Weighs around 3.5 kg. I didn't weigh it with the packaging materials, so it might be a bit more than that.

[@cristianpaolocoradocordero6850]

thanks

[@anayaj6355]

I'm working on my suspension atm.. going to put polyurethane bushings this week. Already rebuilt the steering rack,new strut top mounts. New wheels and tires. My 2 tends too follow the grooves on the highway and feels very scary. Any ideas on what it might be?

[@d4a]

Did you check the rubber in the steering column for wear? I have a video on it "how to fix steering wheel play". That tends to have the effect you described. What are your camber settings?

[@anayaj6355]

@@d4a yes I saw that video earlier this week. Going to try to fit that in my schedule. And honestly I can't tell u the camber settings. I do plan on purchasing some wat coilovers in a month or 2

[@d4a]

Start with an alignment if you haven't already done one.

[@16bmidniterfoxo]

@@anayaj6355 Did you follow thru with the WAT coilovers? How do you find them? I'm eyeing them as well but am hesitant to pull the trigger...

[@jeremiahhale5001]

TTT is awesome

[@patrickmilanopatacsil8689]

Hi there d4a, My 4age bigport is drinking way too much fuel, what sensors should I check? BTW my check engine light is busted, there is no light when I put the key to the on position. On top of all those mechanical/electrical idiocacy, an error code scanner is not an option because my obd port was sentenced to death by fire.

[@d4a]

Sounds way too complex to even attempt to diagnose in the comments section. You should start with the club4ag forums and the factory service manual. I would just buy an entire good used harness with sensors from a junkyard or somewhere as figuring what you have atm sounds like a serious nightmare. Or even better, just convert it to bike carbs and get rid of all that mess.

[@patrickmilanopatacsil8689]

driving 4 answers I was thinking about executing the bs sensors just like what you did but with no fair trial you "HONOR". I am waiting for you to do another road trip with those sexy looking bike carbs.

[@d4a]

Me too. There will be a lot more road trips once this car is ready. I hope to drive it before the end of August.

[@patrickmilanopatacsil8689]

@@d4a Go to a place where there would be countless amount of caves so we could hear the sexy orgasmic sound of a carburated 4age. Are you still planning to change your loud exhaust?

[@d4a]

Patrick Gomez Exhaust will be changed definitely, but not too soon. I am planning something really cool when it comes to showcasing the sound :)

Damn throw it in your car...wanna see something 😎
