    Tems

    I believe the tsrm has a section in it on what orientation of the tab dictates the shock damping.Either under tems r & r or in the suspension section.

    Tems

    The tems shocks have a tab in the center of the shaft(top shock bolt)my tems shocks came with these little plastic pieces that slipped on top of the shock for non-tems cars and held the tab in the correct orientation for the setting you chose.And no it doesn't affect ride height.

    Hidden hood latches for carbon hoods?

    Maybe a modified tailgate handle relocater for a pickup truck(flips the handle inside the gate)have the handle back behind the bumper and just a couple tabs on the hood and corresponding ones on the core support w/a rod that slides through them.

    Supras in the snow

    I had a '93 bonneville that was incredible in the snow,but my prelude and accord sucked bad.My mk3's didn't do all that well,but being lowered didn't help.Every mk2 I had did great,as do my old cressidas(except on the red & white one when I got lazy and left my 18's on.Wide,35 series tires don't...

    Supras in the snow

    It's all in good fun ;).I have owned 53 vehicles since I started driving,16 years ago.IMO there are a lot of other factors that affect seasonal driveability.I have had several FWD cars that just plain sucked in the snow,even w/snow tires,but same goes for some of the RWD cars.Personally,between...

    Sure,I will do it later.I just went and kicked the heat up in the garage so I can go out and work on it.Only took pic of that side 'cause I haven't done the other side yet.Got the other side all measured out though.I will take some pics of the bottom when I get that done also.

    New 87 mk3 owner with some questions.

    Correct,that sensor should be in the top of the dash in the far right of the defroster vent,supposed to have a plastic piece and cover that clips into.And yes,the heater core leaking will cause your radiator to empty itself,wouldn't drive 'til you get that fixed.

    Vented hood

    Thank you.I have done metal work for quite some time,but just recently learned to weld good(instead of blowing holes in the metal).Opened a whole new world of possibilities for custom work.

    Vented hood

    Basically.The "flaps",or sides of the openings are part of the hood itself.The openings were trapezoid shaped before bending,then took a piece of thin angle iron and clamped it underneath between the skin and frame to use as a kind of dolly to bend the metal and leave a nice radius,then just...
