    Tinting Hatchback?

    Make sure you do a good job on it, as if you have to remove the tint after it sits you can pretty much kiss your rear defrost goodbye.

    89 harness in a pre-89 body questions

    Friend of mine is doing his GTE swap in his 87 car, and his harness is from an 89. Obviously the harnesses do not match up. What can be done about it? Are we looking at repinning most every connector between the 2, or is their another easier way? I haven't had opportunity to investigate...

    Starter not turning over, lights dim when key turns

    Could be the wire between the starter and battery. But that wouldn't explain an intermittent issue like your describing.

    In real need of electrical help!!!

    You most likely arced the battery off and cooked it. Have you had the battery tested? I've accidentally hit both terminals before and it did no damage, but your battery could of been in worse health than mine was at the time.

    Question regarding Various Side Moldings

    It is, but you'd have to replace the center section in the rear, as the molding is made on to it,and that would also cause you to have to upgrade to 89+ tails. I'm actually preparing to do this very thing, but with good shape used moldings.

    Trying to plan out my future suspension setup

    While the suspension gods are watching, I'll ask my question along the same line. What spring would you suggest for me, as a semi-dd, with a Kaminari kit? I plan on running whitelines with a set of the Illumina II's. Also, would a JIC lower arm bar and possibly mid bar not be worth the effort...

    Trying to plan out my future suspension setup

    Subscribed for this very same question. Linear spring rates stay the same stiffness regardless of how compressed it is. Progressive springs get stiffer and thus more harsh the more they are compressed. Progressive would probably suit our needs the best, as they are softer when cruising.

    Looking for skilled electrical help, I'm clueless

    Could have almost no amperage on the white/green. Are you sure your grounding is good? I tried looking for the diagram of how it worked, but electrial diagrams from the online TSRM are a pain in the ass at best.

    ? on water bypass lines thru TB & ISC

    What if any gains would we get bypassing all this? I know the TB will be more prone to icing, but honestly, is that an issue with the 7M?

    Tint options in NC state, need some input NC guys!

    Before it is said, PLEASE, do not mention any inspectors or stations. I could see that going very badly for the inspector. I myself have not received an inspection ticket yet, but I would be a very mad inspector if a thread on SM caused me to get a ticket. If you have a hookup, PM the guy.

    Tint options in NC state, need some input NC guys!

    Highly incorrect. The only law exempting any cars from inspection is the 35 year rule. If the car is 35 or older it doesn't have to be inspected any more. The only tint law excluding anything is that if it is considered a truck, suv, or van you can have as dark as you want behind the drivers...

    Tint options in NC state, need some input NC guys!

    If the cop is having a bad day, he can pull you for tint. But, if it doesn't look like you got a can of spray paint and painted your windows, he will most likely not notice unless you are being a jackass. The technical rule is 35%, but their is a 3% margin of error for the tint meter, so...
