1UZFE SWAP

[ozzie]

IMO 17s are too much rim and too little tire for the look of these cars, stick with 15s or 16s.

yeah i was feeling more 15 thanks for your opinion it really made me make up my mind i was just worried about finding coils to make it lower or bring up the wheel size to fill the gap

15" look great and still have plenty of options.

I decided i didnt want to deal with the headache of wiring so im sending it out to Limitless Motorsports out in san bruno they do a ton of 1uzfe swaps for like miatas and some 240s they only asked for 550 so no headache for me for wiring

[twotone_ra64]

Ah yes Limitless Motorsports, they do tons of work for swaps!

Just gutted the floor but found this adhesive I'm not too sure how to remove it worst case I'll keep it in

Does anyone know how to remove this like hard plastic off the body?

That's sound deadening, you need dry ice to remove it, you break up the dry ice all over the floor board and chizzle away at the sound deadening. It runs the whole length of the cabin front to back. You can reduce weight a bit if you remove it from the car, but cabin noise will be much louder.

ohhh ok I'm keeping it in then 😂😂😂 I don't think the weight is going to change too much if I remove it or it

IIRC it's like 15-20 lbs if you get it all out.

Sigh... I can't say I endorse you getting the wiring done by someone else. If/when you have a wiring issue, who will help?

[Dr.Jun.Manabe]

^ Agree'd, you do the wiring yourself once (which isn't really that hard) and you will always remember how. If something goes wrong, you will more than likely be able to trace back to what the problem area is, as opposed to a harness someone else built, where you wont have a clue where to start if something goes wrong, then you have to take it all back out, ship it to them, and wait another month for them to get it back to you and pray once you get it that it works lol.

BUUUUUT, if they are professionals then you will have no problems and have nothing to worry about. And, if wiring is not a particular skill that you have then farm it out to someone who does it for a living. Maybe???

they actually specialize in wiring the 1uzfe they do 1uz swaps for miatas and they are only 5 miles out from me  i cant wire for crap  i can put stuff together but wiring i dont even want to try

[ozzie]

I think it's worthwhile to have a company that will properly solder and heatshrink the wiring to do it as opposed to just twisting a bunch of wires together yourself. As long as they do good work, you probably won't have any wiring issues.
