    need quick help.. int lights & door switches

    well, you got me wondering if i was testing the wrong thing or tested it the wrong way. so i took my dome light back out to the car to plug it in and see if it would work, hot-wired like you said. so, i checked the plug, w/ the door open. i have 12.1v w/ the car off, door open, on the Red wire...

    LED fog lights?

    yeah, indeed... i dont rely on the foglights for any bit of illumination as i explained before. so i just wanted a cleaner, whiter light to enhance the appearance of my car in twilight conditions. i get really agitated by people who get the wrong HID retrofits for H4 housings or go crazy on...

    need quick help.. int lights & door switches

    yeah... i think so. i have a ground thru the Integration relay. but even the Dome light override buttons wont turn on the lights. the buttons on the dome light override have a direct path to chassis ground via 2 of the 3 phillips screws that hold the Dome light assy to the car. i had 12v on both...

    LED fog lights?

    sup Dead... ive been jaded on the MK3 stuff for a while. i just got my black car on the road after all these years so now im motivated to become a little more active. Poodles... alot of the retrofit LED lights are epoxied to be sealed. so i was thinking i would probably just do that to seal...

    lowering ?s

    illuminas would be easier to use. yellows would have a greater range of adjustability and fine-tuning. if you want to keep the ease of use, get the Illuminas. if youre gonna Auto-X, get the yellows. thanks for that breakdown about the spring rates too. i see what you mean

    LED fog lights?

    well, i would only do it locally because my friend at the shop in town sells the kits for $250 each with lifetime warranty on everything. id rather do it in person than have to mail my stuff off and wait for someone else to get around to it. so its $250 for any kit, any color, any style and...

    So ya know how i wanted to relocate the battery?

    well the way you made it sound, it seemed the acid was soaked into the carpet and left a non-drying film on the metal. in which case, coating it in a crust of baking soda may not fully counteract the acid. this is where a solution would be more effective since it WILL wash it out of the shag of...

    Anybody want a Turbo A?

    adam is mostly right. the turbo A wont be EPA legal, ever. the only way to make the turbo A 100% legal to the DOT is to retrofit it w/ USDM parts so it meets the crash test requirements from the date of its manufacture. since that car is built in 88, it might still be able to receive the 3 metal...

    So ya know how i wanted to relocate the battery?

    dont get so butt hurt. its just a little light humor. its the internet; the day you take something said online personally is the day you lose ;) and yes, making a mixture of water/baking soda is more effective as an acid neutralizer since it disperses the molecules and allows them to...

    Add an LED to indicate activity on the Knock sencor circ?

    well one way to definitly tell if the ESC is calibrated in such a way that itd be totally useless for the 7M applicatoin is to install it and free rev the motor. the mechanical harmonics at any given RPM should be close enough to the same noises created when under load. but obviously, there...

    Question on SHOCK+SPRING combination

    i meant for the AGX's. those are well over $40 each unlike the GR-2's. and i have the pro-kit listed as a 1.5"/1.0" drop, F/R. the rates are 6.1-11.2 kg/mm for the front. the rears are 2.2/4.6 kg/mm. for reference, the stock are linear rate listed at 8.2 kg/mm for the front and 3.8 kg/mm...

    yet another wheel question

    thanks guys. i dont think i can really take any measurements like Keros... im not running the stock fender liners, plus my car is higher than stock in the front. but, next time its clean (maybe tomo if it doesnt rain again, i live on a dirt road) i can get some other pics to show the relation of...

    LED fog lights?

    yeah... but my fog lights arent worth $250 to me, especially since id only buy one from NOB or the like. my fog lights have gotten wet, even will FULL under pinnings on the car and they will continue to get wet... so the ONLY HID kit id ever consider is one that is guaranteed to be waterproof...

    lowering ?s

    ah, i just found the table i made last year of all the stock replacment springs as well as the stockers. i couldnt remember if the stockers were progressive or linear rate. according to the info i found on the stock springs (i dont konw where), they are indeed linear. so you can cut them and not...

    Anybody want a Turbo A?

    when is the last time a cop ever verified the vin on your car to the vin on your registration? i personally have never had them do it on a traffic stop. they may be more strict in your area so i guess that would be something to consider for others. and "ummmmmmmmmm" definitly yes. here is...

    LED fog lights?

    so, since LEDs are so cool, have minimal current draw and produce stark white light... i wondered if anyone could give me some input on using LED bulbs for fog lights. i know they will undoubtedly have less lumen output compared to a similar H3 bulb... but as i see it, MK3 foglights are...

    Question on SHOCK+SPRING combination

    i was worried that GR2 would be Softer than a TEMS strut on hard. i thought about getting them for my Turbo2 RX7 but had the same concerns; i wouldnt want to replace it w/ the wrong thing.

    if by "low rear" you mean, tucking tire... i dont want that. i cant stand tucking tire on anything except a sport sedan with big shiney wheels and lots o dish... like a GS300 pounded on some 20" CCW's. thats ok to tuck, but not a stock body MK3 w/ 18's, imo. what about some Tein springs in...
