    RSX Seats in an MKIII

    I'd imagine all the RSX's have the same mounting points for the seats... I'm in the process of putting 1G eclipse seats in mine. I had them laying around from my last car and they were in perfect shape. I'm making brackets for them. My stock seats were moldy and faded and in general were...

    best spark plugs for JZA70 motor

    Iridium plugs have a fine wire to PREVENT spark blowout. The finer the tip the easier it is for the spark to jump the gap. A larger tip does nothing but allow more wear surface on copper core plugs so that they have a longer wear life (typically 15-25K miles). They also make fine wire copper...

    ANOTHER wiring question

    Yes that did help. It's the wire for the A/C temp sensor switch.... which is only on the GTE (and may only be on automatic GTE models if I understand the TSRM correctly). It wasn't in the wiring diagram I was using. I had to look at the 90' diagram. It's a little 1 inch long thing on the diagram...

    ANOTHER wiring question

    On my 87 7MGTE automatic harness there's a small 3 pin plug with only one wire going through it at the junction behind the glovebox where all the body plugs are. This plug connects between the engine harness and the body harness It's got one light green/red wire with red dots on it. What is...

    Can the ABS be removed like this? should I?

    Ok, I'll keep the ABS then. I found a working ABS unit and the front wheel speed sensors for a good price. My only holdup now is the sensor hole not being in my transmission. Anyone know what I can do there other than buying a whole different transmission?

    Need wiring diagram for 86.5-88

    I have the diagram for the 89+, but it's different than my 87. Anyone know where I can download one for free for my car?

    Can the ABS be removed like this? should I?

    Nope, my eclipse and MX6 didn't have ABS. It was an option for both cars, but not standard. Yeah I forgot about the R/F wheel, oops. Well, nothing has been easy on this car so far, so another brake line to fabricate isn't too bad. I was more looking for everybody's thoughts on how well the...

    Can the ABS be removed like this? should I?

    I'm in the middle of my 1jz swap and just realized my transmission isn't machined for an ABS sensor. I also just noticed that both of my front sensors have broken wires (right where they go into the sensor, can't fix them). Also, it appears that my ABS unit is messed up (probably corrosion...

    You know you're a Supra owner when...

    You know you're a MKIII owner when..... you can relate more to the guys with DSM's than with other generations of supra owners.

    Article: The Warped Brake Disc and Other Myths of the Braking System

    The layer of pad transfer is pretty hard to distinguish from the rotor itself, except for the pad imprint area (if you really messed it up). When you check the rotor for runout with a dial indicator, it is measuring the rotor AND the transfer layer. Say all you want about the pad transfer thing...

    Do people still really use dial up?

    What can you do on 56K now anyway? Maybe search google and look at the links that you *could* click on, if you wanted to wait an hour for any of them to load.... but that's all I could think of. I remember surfing the dsmtalk forum on dialup. You had to really NEED an answer to spend all that...

    best thing youve overheard about your supra

    I heard a local rumor that my car has 600whp. I didn't even know it had an engine yet.

    Had a run in with a LEO tonight

    I had a cop ask me once if I was drunk and stared at me exactly like that after I said no. I wasn't drunk, I was just in severe shock thinking about what punishment the state would have for me doing 120 in a 55 while racing someone. For me it was about $200 and 6 points (one point short of...

    Found the best ricer mod ever, on my new jdm engine

    It's rice because he was trying to vent his stock bov to make it louder, but instead completely stopped the bov from making any noise or working at all. He hooked it up like this on purpose, because he left the vac hoses connected to the stock BOV (he even upgraded them to bright blue hose)...

    How to lower my ride right

    To the OP: TEMS doesn't change the ride height, only the damping rates. It's not like the factory adjustable suspension on other car makes (I remember an old subaru wagon my mom had you could change from "offroad" to "normal" and the car actually went up about an inch for offroad).

    sticking brakes

    If the calipers (slide pins or pistons) are sticking, the brakes might feel normal when cold, but when they heat up from dragging the pads will swell up and lock the brakes harder and harder as they get hotter and hotter. Ohhh and also, try jacking your car up and seeing which wheels are locked...

    couple auto tranny questions

    Loss of fluid pressure internally from a clogged filter, damaged pump, dirt or metal pieces (from other worn parts) making valves stick in the valve body. Slight chance it's electrical (solenoid, wire, ecu) but if the gears won't engage at all it sounds mechanical. Check all the external wiring...

    greddy turbo timer problem

    Check your power and ground connections. That should help, probably get it working again at least. I had two cars with greddy turbo timers and both of them randomly reset when I hit the reverse lights or turn signals... never was able to figure it out. A bunch of people on the dsm forums had the...
