The rear seats really don't weight that much, they're just foam and cloth/leather and they insulate the back of the car from road noise significantly. Plus then you can't carry stuff in the cargo are...

If oil is getting into the cap that'd do it, though that's usually only if the shaft o-ring seal tears. Though the way the distributor is mounted on these, if I recall correctly, perhaps via that gas...

Not to be rude, but this is easily found with googling "Toyota OBD1 Codes". That said I'm nice and will tell you that code 12 is for missing engine speed signal, so something is wonky with your distr...

The S series is more than strong enough for the power you'd want to go through a FWD layout, if driven properly. Wiki has a good page:

So it's completely fine up to operating temperature? It was also completely fine at all times before the distributor died? If all that is so, I'd lean towards the distributor being out of time. On ...

Check the oil pressure when cold and as it warms up, general rule of thumb you want 10 psi for every 1,000 rpm. Oil pump could be going out or weak.

That or perhaps all of the aftermarket water/meth injection pumps out there, surely one of those would work.
Wouldn't be plug and play, but short of another ST205 pump I don't think anything will.

Not very many 8" mid speakers available, there was a Pioneer that was rated really well but I think it was discontinued. There are these Rockford ones though:

I'd go with Exedy or Aisin when available. If you want an o.e. experience and plan to replace the clutch with something heavier grade anyway then just go with the o.e. replacement for $120.

Something seems off with the bumper and hood, if it's not been in a wreck then I guess a sumo wrestler sat on it during his break while working his part time job on the docks over 20 years ago.
