Plug wire sequence, and I would make sure the igniter wasn't unplugged as well. All those new plugs won't get any spark at all if the igniter isn't plugged in...

I understand that motivation is both precious, as well as fleeting, when it comes to cars you've had for a long time. That's the boat I'm in as well. Wish we had decent weather year round...

Appreciate you sharing these scans.

If you can build your own harness, that might be your best option at this point. Yeah, the time cost is a real factor, I get that. I spent something like two months of my evenings to de-pin a Miata harness and remove unnecessary circuits for my Exocet, all so I could have as compact a harness as...

I had no idea they had changed the oiling system in the least on those engines. Learned something new today. Have you considered using a pan from a 6M or 7M?

I forget the measurements, it has been nearly a decade since I was messing with all that stuff under the car. I'd recommend using a ball joint style end link. Heim links / rose joints are going to wear out sooner than later and will make all sorts of awful noises. There's a reason you don't see...

Anyone try the Nutter Butter cereal yet? Not bad.

I'd be on board for a meet, weather permitting. I know the Colorado Supra group has an annual meet, but I'm not on Facebook so I usually miss the timing on it. You're right on the LS being a good daily though, just picked up a 2000 IJM LS400 after thanksgiving. Fantastic car to pile on the miles. :)

Check through the stickie'd threads in this section, might find the info you are looking for. Wiring isn't my specialty or I'd be glad to help. Good luck!

Maybe it is simply a way to confuse bidders so they don't actually know how much they are bidding?

Little piece of tint over the display should cure that brightness issue, if you can get it to stick. If not, can use VHT Niteshade, just make sure the display face is absolutely clean before you spray... As far as the temp itself goes, are you sure that's in celsius? That's a touch high for...

I live where it occasionally gets that cold. Historically ran Rotella T6 in my 1j, which is a 5W40 oil. Never had any issue with starting or oil pressures when it was that cold that literally affect all cars when it gets that cold. Oil analysis regularly returned healthy results too. :)

I had forgotten how much of a pain in the butt dealing with the CT26 was, as far as hardware goes... Penetrating oil will be your very best friend if you decide to start changing out components! As for the "cascading upgrading syndrome" that was mentioned, my car became a regular Ship of...

Pros: 92 White package Turbo Sunroof (!) Very nice condition from the pictures Cons: Auto Looks like a used tampon Why, why, WHY was red such a popular color for interiors in the 70's and 80's??? Is it so the cocaine was easier to find if you dropped it?

David, I don't think that my car would be legal to even show pictures of in Kalifornia... it has Wyoming plates on it. We love our freedom too much. :p Seriously though, can't even flat bed a car that isn't smogged? How do you transport cars that are non operational?
