    Stock wing placement

    Very sorry to hear that man, good luck with everything and I hope she recovers well. When you get back around to this, don't forget you can put some tape on there to protect your paint and slide it around until you think it looks good. Not sure about how it will effect aerodynamics, but...

    AC and heat not working. Any Ideas as to why?

    I have been told that problems with the heater not working can be caused by the climate control unit going bad. First it can get erratic (you might have to crank it to 85 to get any real heat, and then it blazes), but I think it can also fail you completely and not give any heat. I sometimes...

    eBay H3 fog bulbs, anyone tried these?

    Nobody else huh? Maybe I'll be the guinea pig on this one?

    you guys think...

    Agreed, I've read a couple long and winded threads on Rota wheels, and while I probably would not really want to buy a wheel mimicking another while maintaining with a cheaper build process (heavier wheel), there wasn't sufficient evidence to support the notion that they are bad or will simply...

    eBay H3 fog bulbs, anyone tried these?

    What's causing the yellow? Doesn't look like it's the bulb itself but I haven't looked inside these so i can't tell. Either way, what bulb are you using?

    you guys think...

    I'm curious why? I know you're the rim guru...at least for fitment, and you worked in a wheels shop right? However, even if those things aren't true I'd still be curious. :P

    Stock wing placement

    You could just search for pics, but for starters you need to mention what kind of spoiler you have purchased, if it's the pre-89 it will mount differently than the 3-piece 89+ spoiler. As for a diagram, I can't help you there. TSRM doesn't seem to have info on the spoiler...oddly.

    eBay H3 fog bulbs, anyone tried these?

    They're inexpensive, and come in yellow tints. Assuming this is the kind that will fit the 86.5 fog housing...anybody try them? (I haven't been able to get the rubber off the back of my fog light yet to see what's inside..it glued itself on..tips on removing that without tearing it would be...

    I found a MKIII I'm going to ask about buying...but...

    Thanks for the input it's appreciated! Makes total sense (not to foster a debate, I don't want one in this thread either! ;) ) Really? None of this will get worse eh? The leaks are one issue though, I don't like the idea of teardowns to fix little annoyances like that, and I don't want...

    Obsolete MKIII parts; are there any?...yet?

    Thank you! ....holy poop. I was afraid it would be pricey. I've gone years without this so I'll probably be ok, mostly an annoyance. I'm missing the rubber on my window seal, so water that hits the window just goes down into the door and drains out the bottom. As for the hatch, that...

    advice

    Pics of either? Even though you've decided. Sounds nice man. I have a thread on a 1990 that I was looking at, but I'm waiting until I find a cleaner one. I hope the one you want works out for you! I know I'd LOVE to have a super-clean shell for cheap. If you have enough money to drop into...

    Obsolete MKIII parts; are there any?...yet?

    What's this drip molding I keep reading about? The part on the A-pillar around the side windows? I'm not understanding what piece has to be color-matched...as if it's inside the cabin. Also, can anyone ballpark (in dollars) how much replacing the door window seals and commonly replaced pads...

    I found a MKIII I'm going to ask about buying...but...

    First let me say, sorry for the time gap in this thread. Life got in the way and I wasn't in any hurry to come to a conclusion on this car once I realised the owner isn't really any more motivated than he was before talking to me...most likely. Well today I stopped by AGAIN to see if it had...

    Building a Widebody Quicksilver JZA80 (Now with New pics!)

    Holy crap... So including a 30-40k dollar car...a project like this is easily going to push 70 grand...isn't it? I mean keep going and there's enough money in a supra like this to purchase a pretty nice Ferrari... Well I guess plenty of people own Ferraris, so it's not that crazy. I dunno...

    Building a Widebody Quicksilver JZA80 (Now with New pics!)

    Looks great Jeff! Didn't realize that you were going all-out on this car, at first as I was reading (found this today) I thought it would just be engine work, this looks awesome! What's that paint? It looks like it's changing hues at different angles...is it really or is that just something...

    Compound 7M, first and only?

    oh my...this is awesome! Stumbled across it today after searching for info on oil pressure....SO COOL! Can't wait to see how it sounds and runs, and that graph. I don't know much about compound setups, but I did recently read about a compound kit that I think Sound Performance was developing...

    New laptop time

    I've seen a few people with similar models of HP laptops, one of my friends has a broken up keyboard, the hinge is cracking, and his screen is dead. Uses it as a PC with an external monitor. OH and his wireless card had severe issues. Basically it was a POS My ex had one, it was allright but...
