I do like those mirrors...wonder why Toyota moved away from them? They seem more advanced from a production standpoint than the 6g mirrors...but then maybe I just answered my own question.
Yeah, I fo...

I'd certainly be willing to do some eco-modding, insomuch as it will be a compliment to the other mods. Namely, those modifications that increase overall performance
and
fuel economy. The most attra...

Actually, after doing some research, I'm on the fence about a lightweight flywheel. Being that I would prioritize comfort over performance, I'm concerned that the potential detriments to driveability...

I suggested a 4age 20v because if I were in your situation that is what I would do. I just think it is cool that a 1.6L engine can produce 165 hp, so what if I would have to rev the piss out of ...

The 20V you do have to rev out to get going from what I've read, but you have to do that to some extent with the 7A anyway.
Very true, but there is a difference:

^ Yeah, I realize now that I misread your initial post. I've been reading so much about the 7a-ge lately that my mind just assumed that's what you meant.
Swapping in the whole 4age seems like the bet...

As far as performance on the 7A goes I'd do a port and polish on the head myself and then shave it some to bump compression up a point on top of doing the header and exhaust as well as timing ad...

Yeah, my motor mounts were probably just shot, that's why I would get shaking at idle. I guess some of that is just inevitable from an inline 4 though.
So I've also been thinking about engine interna...

Those seats are nice, and I love the direct fit. I'd certainly remove the rear seats completely; nobody I know is small enough to fit in them anyway.

Awesome, thank you for the input.
Good to know the ST and GT are the same suspension-wise, that will help greatly in finding parts. I know that as far as suspension goes, there is always a trade-off ...

Great advice, thank you. I have a pass-through socket set, I think I'll give that a try. If that fails, I'm sure I'll find a way to remove it.
Also, since I'm reusing old exhaust parts I thought I'd...

Now I get it...I was under the assumption that the sensor was welded onto the flange. If it's just threaded into the flange then looks like it's just a straight conversion from a 95 to 96 exhaust. ...

Are you sure the O2 sensor will fit both setups? I don't think the OBDI sensor has any threading to fit the OBDII style exhaust.

That's fantastic information. So when you say no resonator or cat, you mean as part of the manifold? That is, the 95 models have an extra cat attached to the manifold before the downpipe?

What type of downstream O2 sensor is on the exhaust? Is it a screw-in type? I noticed the exhaust setup for 95 and 96 can be slightly different, even if they're both 7a's .
