    Lug nut broke off the hub!!!

    No. Only harbor freight retail store will honor their net price. Sear isnt' going to give you their quality 80 bucks tool for that price. harbor freight stuff is cheap but at least better than just a nut wrench.

    carputer fitted

    I have enough space because I trim the bottom part of the screen which is the silver part in your picture. If you haven't open the screen out, that part (the buttons) is a separate board from the main board. I taped the button board behind the monitor and relocate the IR sensor so I can...

    Best Place to tap into power.

    Exactly. On the note, if you prefer to have power on in both key possition (IGN and ACC) but a diode on each line to switch the relay. ACC ------|>-----\ IGN ------|>------|----- Relay coil + Because ACC doesn't has power during crank, while IGN doesn't has power in ACC but during...

    I think it's a better idea to run power directly from the battery as a main power source for the PC unless the total power usage of the PC+monitor is within 7-10Amps. I ran my with a 10GA wire off a distro block which come off a 4GA wire from the battery. The amplifier also getting juice...

    Shifting with out a clutch?

    I did it all the time with the 85 Supra and so does the 89T. My left angle hurt too and I can't really use that often. If your engine RPM match with the tranny input RPM you can shift it in and out without hurting a darn thing. Ask those semi truck driver. How the hell do they shift thru...

    So who's gonna be the first to try these?

    BS on those review. If they didn't pay those magazines, I don't think the magazines is going to mention their name instead of review. If the claim a just little, it sound believable. Too much, it became total BS. How can I satisfied with the product if I can't event use it?

    Supra CarPC anyone into it?

    There are few option for PSU. DIY: Yes possible, I did it. Do a search for Mastero/Sproggy on mp3car Power Supply subforum. That design is base on the Maxim chips. The problem is it's hard to get a hold on those regulator chips. M1/M2-ATX: the M1 is good for VIA mini-itx board and/or p3...

    The "frame" on top of the HU faceplace is the Metra Late model Ford Kit 95-5812 or kit Ford 99-5807 as seen in this picture I used epoxy to glue them together. Filer material is SEM: Bumper Repair #68422. You can also use 3M Automix flexible bumper repair (cost more and better). This is the...
