Didn’t find the alignment paper. I think I need to ask J0nio to help me with the info, he’s the tire/alignment master 🙂
Drove around a bit and man the car is pulling into every direction! Now when I’m thinking it and just making notes how the car handles, it feels stronger than before. There is nothing wrong with the car (except a weird clanking noise from the passenger side) but somehow I seem to find all the bumps and stuff to make car feel extremely twitchy.
While at the garage, I noticed the total kilometres: 108108 😀
I didn’t plan to do anything special, so I started to look for the AT transmission drive shafts. I have one slightly bent CVJ cover in the car and that could add some unwanted vibrations. I checked that the transmission end CVJs are the same in both AT and MT, which meant I could just order the cover from Toyota and I would get the right one.
Then I found out something weird… in the box where I had the CVJs and driveshafts, I had the bent CVJ in a bag. I took it out and cleaned it and then I started to look the second CVJ if it would be in better shape. Now, I cant understand this: I remember having three bent CVJ covers and one thats ok. But the second one I had in the box was in perfect shape! I cleaned both and took a picture to compare them:
The one on the left is a AT CVJ and the one on the right is MT. Only difference is the color. Just add a CVJ seal 🙂
I’ve always wanted to swap the heater controls and radio and this time I just started doing it. Here I have already taken the heater controls off. SW20 has the heater controls and radio already swapped so why not do it in AW11 as well. Obiviously I fiddle with the radio a lot more than with the heater. 🙂
…and here swapped, but not attached yet:
I need to build a new bezel around the center console, the one I had was in bad condition. With some cutting it might have worked. The extra gauges I have will be built into center console and I think I’m going to mold them into the bezel.
