You follow the path
fitting into an infinite pattern.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment
before the closure
when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.


:flashfap: Oh he got the BEST Soarer, though.

Is the 1UZ's starter in The Best Spot Possible(tm) on the UZZ32 just like the rest of them?

it is but i don’t get why people make such a big deal about the starter motor since 1) in nearly 20 years of owning multiple 1UZ-engined cars i’ve never once had any issues with a starter, and 2) it’s really not much harder to take the intake off and have it right there on top of the engine than it is to spaghetti your arms around exhaust manifolds in a tight engine bay

It’s really not a big deal.

I jest in my case because I did the job on a Celsior/LS400 in a hot Texas parking lot, and though the intake plenum was very easy to take off, it took me a bit to find the wiggle room necessary to get sockets down to access the two long bolts that hold it on. I am blessed to be lean and compact, I found that day. There was basically just enough room for me to slip the spanner and twist it over the bolt head to get it loosened, and not much room to actually turn the wrench...later I bought ratcheting box-ends and those save my *life.*
