    Took the trim off for paint... How do I straighten it?

    I took the trim off my 87 for prep and paint today. The door trim had double sided tape, so although i took my time getting it off, there is still a new arc to the whole trim. I'm worried even I get it close to straight it will still have some waves when I put it back on. Does anyone have a...

    HID Projector Fogs Prototype

    Here is my latest project! I drew up the custom housings on solid works, made them in a SLS machine (rapid prototype machine), painted the whole thing black and the inside of the housing "chrome". I call it a prototype because its not perfect in its fitment, but they work great! The...

    Could someone measure a stock sunroof for me?

    I have an 87 with a crappy after market sunroof I would rather replace than try to fix. Can someone measure the hole dimensions for a stock one? I was kinda hoping it was larger than mine so I could make the change.

    Cruise Control.... wow that was easy

    So I don't know about everyone else, but when I did my 1JZ swap I looked at the cruise control and the 1JZ throttle body and was like "no way this is gonna happen." I ripped the CC out of the car and never thought twice. Turns out its really simple! I measured and cut off a section of the...

    My volt gage reads low (has been for 2 years now) and its about time i fix a couple of the small issues with the car. The gage reads at about 12-12.5 volts and drops significantly when the blinkers are used. It has been reading like that ever since I have had the car. I put in a 1JZ, but I...

    How hard is the passenger window motor to replace?

    My passenger window doesn't work at all. I was hoping it was the switches, but it's not. I checked for power at the motor and its there. It looks like you need to replace the hole thing blind since its inside the door. How bad is it to replace?

    Radiator oil cooler as PS cooler?

    Convert to screw type O2?

    I am making a custom downpipe and I was wondering if anyone has converted to a screw type O2 sensor. I can't find a flange for the Toyota O2 and I figure there are probably some generic O2 sensors out there to use. Any information would help :)
