looking to lower my 32gtst,but im worried if its too low

my tyres/rims will hit my gaurds when HICAS is involved.

how far do the rear wheels actually move?

18x9 265's are my wheels.Theres still 1 1/2" of clearance from gaurd to top of tyre

but id like to have the guard sitting over the top of the tyre.

opinions please...

try a search.

it would tell you that the wheels only turn to +/- 1 degree.

It would probably suggest you that you should remove / disable the HICAS

I guess you could disable it like the previous owner of my car did - cut all the wires to the control unit.... Probably not safe though.

I would think that If the FRONT of the car can handle full lock without scrubbing, the back will be fine.

If you want the gaurd over the top of the tyre (1.5 in?) you need to consider alot more than merely tyre scrub.

The car probably won't handle. again, search (because I've read that on the forums somewhere, but don't know where).

The suspension setup is not made for it.

only -/+ 1 degree hey,cool i thought it would be much more cause it sure feels like it sometimes.

no i dont want my guard 1.5inch over the rear wheels.

what i was saying is there already is a 1.5inch gap between the tyre and guard that i want to close up.

havent found a conclusion about removal of HICAS in a 32gtst as yet

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
