I've been talking with Paul that used to own Avalon racing and he spoke with JWT. They believe the clutch will work, but not the flywheel.

Keep up the good work and by keeping us informed of the differences of our new 2007's. It is going to save me a lot of time and $$. Thanks for everything! and keep posting what you find
Thanks we are figuring it out as we go.

The trans is different. We will have it out this weekend so maybe Sharif will have some feedback early next week.

Update: Big Brake kit and Coilovers are going on yesterday and today. Very excited.

APS Racing 6 piston front and 4 piston rear with drilled/slotted rotors

Please ! Put an aps tt on it ! Let’s see if the stock block is as strong as some speculate ! Also I'm waiting to hear if the rear diff is the same as earlier models.

I wish I would have read this before ordering the crawford hi-flow cats.... i tore the car apart yesterday and realized the flanges didn't it and got pissed up....what a messed up time I had with it... now i'm stuck with these.. I wonder if I should take this to a muffler/exhaust shop and have them weld the flange from the 07 cats onto it..?

I'm pretty sure FireFox will open them.

I would take it to an exhaust shop and have them weld the flange on. Forged did it for me and it works fine.

1) Forged and I are curious and want to play with the new HR and Trans to get information out on the new parts to the community.
2) I want to paint the engine bay the new exterior color of the car. The motor and trans will be out for at least two months while I finish the body work and interior work.

As to the plans. No real motor work while it is out since there are not any parts available. I might do some powder coating of engine parts etc...but that is about it.

We will look at the TT option once some vendors start making parts. Probably the end of 07.

Yeah Sharif, please post info about differences with the HR motor, I'm especially intersted in knowing if you can use clutch and lightened flywheel from previous models, as well as if the rear differential can also b swapped from previous models.

Thanks.
