My speedometer cable is broken, I hit a tree limb on the road and it pushed the sheathing up against my downpipe, which cooked the grease and seized the cable and well... *snap*. My cable is sort of in the way of my downpipe anyway, so I was thinking about doing a conversion to an electronic...

I was going to put a veilside MKIV in the first post.... but I wasn't sure the opinion of that kit around here. I'm not much of a fan of their outlandish crap myself. At least that one is silver. It could be yellow... or orange... or bass boat rainbow metal flake. Wait... there HAS to be a supra...

If the frame is ok but the amount to fix the car is over the amount where they will total it then ask the insurance estimator (the body shop in this case?) to keep the estimate under the amount that they would consider totaled. You will get less money, but you will get to keep the car. If they...

Fog light opening + silicone ducting + factory backing plates (my 87's are ducted so I assume they all have that?). Pretty easy. You could also put a pair of NACA ducts under the front lip. That's how most of the high performance Audi's feed their brake ducts.

I was expecting more talking dogs and colors in a thread about an LSD problem. If you swap the LSD out for a used one, you'll need a Toyota Service and Repair Manual (TSRM) to set the rear end up properly. It's a little different than a FWD car. You need to set the ring and pinion up so they...

Just take the bottom screw out that's in the hole in the bottom of the housing, then push the glass upward and pull it out. I was just looking at one of my spares.

I feel like I'm missing out with my custom tank that has no sensor.

You can take the mirror and motor out of the housing by taking out a few screws and then it just pops out. My drivers side mirror was doing that and it was just because one of the ball sockets popped out. I was able to just pop it back together. Solid as a rock now. It was a real pain to get the...

W means it has the internal wastegate, that's all. Otherwise it's the same turbo. Same goes for any holset model with the W at the end. I run an HY35W on my car and it's a good turbo. I've heard that the HY35 can't max it's compressor out because the turbine housings that are available don't...

Well, I can tell you for sure that the HY35 Holset would not meet your goals. I expected spool at low RPM like you did with your RS-51... and I ended up with it reaching boost threshold at 3000 and major spool-up around 3600. I was surprised because a few people with eclipses had run them on...

Check out the 1JZ fan page on facebook. There was a guy on there running MS and I'm 99% sure it was with a stock igniter. I think his name was Bob Moon.

You can adjust Koni to be as soft as you want, but unless you swap to softer springs all you will end up with is a bouncy ride. The stock shocks are (somewhat) stiff so they match the springs.

Yeah I guess that chance doesn't come up often, unless you belong to a local car club just for the type of car you have. Most cases though if you can at least get your hands on them to make sure they're not seized or leaking you'll be fine, or at least get some good pictures to make sure...

Some people just have horrible, horrible taste. I mean, people bought the Pontiac Aztec. I do suspect that most of the people who own the cars in this thread likely are the same people you see wearing things that make you wonder if they are homeless or just colorblind.

Yeah, sorry, you're right there. I also found out the basis for my argument was invalid too. Interestingly enough, it seems that adding 2% water to ethanol or methanol fuel actually INHIBITS corrosion of aluminum fuel system parts. Go figure. Water as a corrosion inhibitor... It's also...

Wow... who knew that putting a BMW grille on a MKIII would result in a Pontiac Grand-am. That's just awful. The Accord tails aren't too bad in comparison. The red car looks like an origami project gone wrong.

Don't buy used coilovers unless you can test drive them before you buy. 99% of the time they're completely worn out and all the adjustment sleeves are seized. If you have $600 you should just spend another $100 and get the Megan EZ-Street coilovers for $700. A lot of people here have them and...

No, once you get dirt in there it's screwed. Just buy a filter. They're $6.

1. Yes, but it's expensive. There is also aftermarket for the side trim that wraps the whole car. The lower trim and window trim is OEM only but is still available. Weatherstrip, I don't know. 2. Yes the 7MGTE should have the R154, but the W58 will also bolt up, so either is possible on a...

You need to upload pictures big enough to see. Those are tiny. If you're using a cell phone, turn the camera quality to max and don't use zoom. Then use photobucket to upload them. If you have a smartphone they even have an app. Maybe post some pictures of the hub kit you got too, so we can...
