GB: Toyota E153 -> BP adapter plates (CLOSED/awaiting delivery)

[therieldeal]

PS: I can still powdercoat them for the additional $25 if any of you guys want a color.

That's awesome, thanks Jon and everyone else who bought one! I was going to go with that anyway.

siiiiiiiiiiiiiick

gun metal powder coat with free coating for me please !

this just gets better and better

[SgtRauksauff]

excellent, as that's the finish I was leaning towards. zinc ftw over nickel, basically, from a few internet searches on the subject, especially for what we're using it for.

tracking info confirms, $$ was rec'd yesterday morning. waiting for an email reply to confirm lead time, not sure how much time the zinc plating might add to the 2 weeks he previously estimated. the quantity also increased by 50%, that might affect things too.

will keep the thread updated!

BUMP final payments due 2/19

[therieldeal]

The adapters are headed out for zinc plating today. Might get them Friday but most likely Monday.

As soon as they are done it's just a matter of transit time before i'll have them in my hands to ship out to everyone.

Those getting powdercoating will have to wait a couple of extra days.

toyota e153

Im late for the group buy. Was out of work, But want the plate. will i be able to get one in the near future. Also its not possible to do the awd camry trans to the bp??

[Turbo Escort]

Also are you going to do the clutch group buy?

[therieldeal]

i dont think the clutch group buy is going to happen, but i outlined in the how-to what you need to do for the clutch. basically its a 93 toyota 2wd pickup truck disc, with a mazda flywheel and pressure plate. use the TOB that goes with the transmission you use. there will be no pilot bearing.

i'll run the group buy again when it seems like there are 10 more people interested

[ryan1]

is there any spots on the gb for the plate still ?

[therieldeal]

nope...

the plates are already paid for, machined/welded, and are currently at the zinc plating facility

[therieldeal]

final payments rec'd for all adapter plates

they will ship as soon as i receive them, i'll be sure to post a picure when the pallet arrives
