Hey Supraman, is your vehicle a pre-89 as well?

Come to think of it, I'm pretty familiar with the units wire colors since I just hacked the harness in half and spliced in a plug for quick disconnects. There are a total of 10 wires. There are 2 black wires and 2 black wires with white stripes. I about shit when I realized this since at first...

I recently wired up my HKS TEMS controller and just like the OP stated, it does not have any additional power wire. Just the main 2 plug harness and a ground wire. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet since my car is currently in the build-up process. Why do some of these units not have...

It's looks cool. That's about all can I honestly say since I haven't driven with it or even installed the seat to see how it feels. I should have the seats in shortly tho (Corbeau 3 point harnesses with retractors come in next week) . I've thrown it threw the gears a few times and it is very...

The gas tank was such a royal pain in the asss to strip, I'd never ever consider doing it again. I went through like 5 wire brush heads and couldn't close my hands for 2 days. There was some rust on the outside of the tank, but the inside was fine. I just decided to refurbish the whole thing...

I just realized that I don't have any pics posted of the undercarriage, firewall or gas tank deadening that was done back in the day. I figure I should post them up since after all, this started as a sound deadening thread before it evolved into an interior color change thread. Undercarriage and...

At idle, yes. I've been told the facory alternator only supplies like 15 amps at idle. With my electric fans, piggybacks, gauges and power hungry amplifiers; I'm goin to need too squeeze as much juice outta that alternator that I can. I'm running a deep cycle Optima Blue Top, so I want to keep...

Don't know exact dimensions off the top of my head. The alternator appears smaller in every dimension. Mostly side to side circumference; not so much front to back. I tried to figure out what vehicle these alternator cores where sourced from, but the only distinguishing marks are an "ND" on the...

I almost finished up the targa top. Surprisingly, it was one of the easier things I have done. I just rubbed down the factory fabric with a clean cloth and alcohol and just kept on rubbing until the white cloth was no longer turning brown. Once that dried for a day, I taped off all plastic and...

Accomplished a little more over the last few days. I sourced some open cell egg crate foam to place behind the door speakers to aid in cancelling the free-standing backwaves. The main concern was to prevent mold from forming on the foam from the many showers they will take over the years. I...

Both MR2 and Viper alternators are going to be a good 20% larger than the factory alt. Several months back I bought one of those $89 130amp advertised alternators off of ebay and it's a good 30% smaller than my factory alternator. Bolts up just fine, but just don't expect it to put out 130amps...

For some reason I can't enlarge your thumbnail pic, but from what can see; it appears your holding the 14 wire plug and 2 wire plug that come off the same harness that plugs into the little white climate control box. Both of which plug in right behind the glove box. If the climate control box is...

Broomhilda Funquita? My wife put me on the couch when I told her that's what would be going on our daughter's birth certificated. I don't know, I guess I just always wanted to say "Hey Quita! Get yo ass upstairs and clean your room!".

Rare is an uncracked cup holder, (they're almost always cracked in the spot; like some idiot went around cramming big gulps into each one), with the fold out lower brace still intact. Still aint worth shit tho. I'd hurry and see if you can get your $2.50 back :biglaugh:

I'm not trying to dissuade anyone here. However, this is a very time consuming and expensive process. At least, to do it correctly. If you cut back on the number of coats applied and opt for cheaper paints such as Duplicolor or Krylon, the cost should drop dramatically; however, I wouldn't be...

Be sure you paint in a well heated area. Get your garage up to room temp so the paint dries properly. Make sure both paint and panels are up to temp. You may find it helpful to keep your paint cans in a climate controlled area at all times so they are warm when you need them. Throwing cold paint...

Uh, yeah; keep telling yourself that :evil2: Probably the biggest pain in the ass out of all of this was installing the new carpet since it wasn't pre-molded (even tho the seller advertised that it was). It was barely big enough to fit and extrememly hard to cut since the backing cushion was...

Not really sure how to answer that. I intentionally try not to get exact figures since the amount will surely depress me :( Are you talking about everything? Including stripping off of factory asphalt deadener, costs of seats, seat belts, carpet, dozens of cans of paint, prepping and finishing...
