Wow man, The car is totally different since I had it! Good luck with everything! Hope it turns out well.

If you still have that little temp probe pressed against the radiator, it may be moving slightly during high G turns, and giving you a weird reading. It sounds like you have done a bunch of stuff to it since I had it. I took it on hour long trips to the lake for the weekend and never had any...

Same thing I was thinking. :sarcasm:

Yeah, I switched to Redline MT-90 and it made a crazy difference!

Yeah, I used the omni clear on the tails.

I actually bought the car without a majority of the mouldings. I then just purchased a set and did a rough sand, and painted them, and the followed with clear coat. I love the outcome of the tail lights though :love:

To answer multiple questions, I think im going to ask like $5,500 for it, but take offers. Its an 87 turbo, JDM engine w/ ~50k miles. All new seals on the front end of the engine, new intermediate steering shaft, PS pump rebuilt, brake calipers rebuilt, new Toyo Proxes 4 tires, 3" downpipe...

Yeah, it does have some orange peel. I buffed and wet sanded it for like 2 weeks. after doing it for so long I figured thats all the better I could get it. I bought a leveling lambs wool pad for my buffer, it helped out quite a bit. not perfect, but it just cost me like $250 plus my time.

Yeah, Defiantly the prep work, and then doing the wet sanding and buffing took the most time. The color is 1E0 I believe, From the Scion TC, called Flint Mica.

I don't have a bunch of before, but here are two, and the a pic of the taillight after i sprayed clear coat on it.

First time I have ever painted a car. Looks pretty good I think. I bought it and it was spray painted flat black over the tan original color. Took about a month an a half, but looks a lot better then it used too, especially for my first time painting too. Unfortunatly, I am going to have...

I replaced the JDM sensor with the USDM before i changed out the gauge cluster. And still didnt work. I have 2 gauge clusters, 2 boost pressure senders, 1 jdm OP sensor, 1 USDM sensor, 2 fuel level senders. I have been mixing and matching with the same final results. Must be some wires...

I always use premium in sports cars. Its only like another $3 total on your fill up to use it. If you can afford $3 you prob shouldnt have a 20 year old 6 cylinder sports car. :biglaugh:

Anyone else have any ideas? Could bad grounds cause this? :1zhelp:

Yeah, In the first post i mentioned that i replaced the JDM sensor with a USDM sensor, still didnt work. I have checked and replaced vac lines. The coolant, Tach, and Speed gauges all work great, just the three gauges on the right side don't. I really just want to get the fuel gauge...
