If you put your other DMM lead to the temp sensor body (grounded part) do you measure 0 ohms?

Mainly because if the receiver gauge resistance is out of spec when measured at the waterneck leads, you won't know if it is the wiring or the gauge unless you then measure at the gauge. But I agree that you would only do that if you measured high resistance at the waterneck leads first...

Imageshack host lost them. There are placeholders where they should be in my albums. Not sure why, incompetence maybe?

I A/B compared the 4" and the 6.5" after I installed the first 6.5". My ear said the 6.5" was less efficient (not as loud), but had better high frequency response and stronger bass, but defintely not outstanding. I plan to run AudMes on it at some point and really figure out what the frequency...

I agree. The pistons are an amazing engineering marvel. I think they are worth the price to get them from Toyota.

I tried to buy the connectors from Toyota, but they are not listed according to Jeff. You can get the 91+ connectors, but they are different and won't mate to the 87-90 door harness.

Using the Kevin M pods I recently installed Diamond Audio D3 6.5" components in the front doors. Mostly straight forward except I chose to mount the tweeters in the door panel since they are blocked by my 90 grilles if mounted co axially on the woofer. Also, the ridiculously large crossover was...

Have you verified you can actually remove your cam bolts? On my car those things were perma-rusted to the bushings and had to be cutoff. For the fronts I had to saw off the lower a-arms to get the bolts out.

For the rears, the speakers sit in a well in the box, so anything bigger than stock is going to be jury rigged to say the least.

Yeah, I'm wondering if its pushing the piston in a little, which is then only hanging up the front circuit. Have you considered getting the rebuild kit from Toyota for the master cylinder. I bought one a while back but I guess it could be discontinued now.

Uneven illumination. I use them for the license plate lights and side marker lights though, and they work quite well there.

This stuff can remove night-shade, if its not been on too long. Try a small patch first to make sure it doesn't damage the plastic lens.

Are you sure its not the brake booster sticking on?

If by LEDs you mean a standard halogen bulb swap with an Ebay replacement LED bulb, then that will never work. However. dedicated LED headlamps are starting to appear, and in a few years I suspect will improve enough to replace HIDs on high-end cars. They've already taken over the night time...

Beach anyone? :-)

The high impedance bosch ev14 injectors ( I can't tell what the DM ones are but they look like EV14s) have a lot larger deadtime than stock injectors. The factory ECU code will not work well with those injectors, even after you delete the resistor pack. Also, that price is ridiculous, those...

No, the cams won't be worn at all. The aluminum bearing caps on the head will be worn (think egg shaped). They can be lapped back to spec.

sometimes written plastigage.

The couple of 7Ms I've had a part all had worn cam bearings that get looser the farther you go from the front oil feed. Trying to adjust your valve clearances when you have 6-10 mil slop in the bearings is a pointless exercise in frustration. First step should always be to plastigauge your cam...

Years ago Jeff Montigny made a LED bar graph that connected to VF.
