    Machine Shop in IL?

    I am in the process of changing my head gasket, and while I have the head off, I was looking to do some work on the head, decking it, maybe a port and polish, etc. I was wondering if anyone knew of a good machine shop or speed shop to get the work done at in the Chicago/Northwest Suburbs areas.

    clutch problem?

    I had something similar to that happen to me. For me it happened to be a leaking clutch master cylinder. So I would start with checking that the resevoir is full.

    No, I don't know anyone who owns a supra. I have seen a few mk3's around here, maybe I have seen you. I have seen a super clean red mk3 a couple of times.

    In real need of electrical help!!!

    Well, I know of the fusible link in the main fuse box that bolts in, I have had to replace that before. When I bought the car, it was bare wire that was barely touching together it was so short. On electrical wiring diagrams, it shows another fusable link before that one, and I was wondering...

    In real need of electrical help!!!

    I have that website bookmarked, I just have no idea about anything electrical, so me reading it doesn't help much, lol. But, yes I do have a meter, my headlights are already up because they were when I was working on it, and can I use a piece of wire instead of the paperclip?

    The fusible link in the fuse box under the hood is fine, no sign of being burned or anything. Does anyone know how to test the main power relay and other relays to see if they are working properly?

    In real need of electrical help!!!

    Where exactly are both of those fusible links? I know of the black one in the main fuse box under the hood, which fusible link is that? And I didn't arc the battery directly, I arced the terminal on the alternator to ground.

    In real need of electrical help!!!

    Ok, to start off, I made a pretty big mistake. I don't have any power to anything in my car right now, and I can't figure out why. Here is the back story... I was loosening the bolt on the alternator that is the swivel arm for the alternator. I forgot to disconnect the negative battery cable...

    Recommended Exhaust System/Muffler

    I have an N/A 86.5 and I got a Magnaflow muffler. I went to a muffler shop and had the guy essentially make a custon catback for me, w/o the cat. He put a resonator in and put my muffler up too, was relatively cheap, but he did good work. My car is still pretty quite under idle and normal...

    Starter questions....

    Is this wire a black wire with a yellow stripe and a female crimp type connector on the end? And after checking the battery, check the relay, and then check to see if you are getting 12 volts at both terminlas. If relay is good and you are getting 12 volts, starter is bad.
