    My last and final attempt at ice cold AC...Lots of pictures

    In the US it is illegal to vent CFC12 to the atmosphere. It is perfectly legal to recover/recycle CFC12 provided you keep records of where the CFC12 goes. The EPA wording is.... Technicians repairing or servicing CFC-12 MVACs must use either recover/recycle or recover-only equipment approved...

    Driveshaft Decision. I'm torn. Advice from experienced?

    BMW M3 series is out of production? Infiniti G37, kaput? Lexus IS350 terminated Audi R8 (verboten?) Well this could go on, but hopefully the point is made.

    .25 amp parasitic draw through dome fuse

    My interior light dims in steps too, always done that. Working as designed. 250mA draw is way too high though, you'll find it.

    Posible short ??????????????

    That's just the noise filter caps charging up. The ECU and Alarm draw a little current with everything off, but its not much. If your battery is giving 10.5V open circuit, then it is basically dead. Charge it up or replace it if it cannot be charged.

    Overpressure in radiator system + ABS and Tracs problems + odometer?

    I know it is in sweden, but it was still in a big accident. You need to make sure the repairs were done right and that the car is not bent. You could start by checking the wheel alignment.

    Overpressure in radiator system + ABS and Tracs problems + odometer?

    The car was declared a total loss. That means it now would have a salvage title if it was still in the US which would seriously reduce its value. If you are getting it at a low price, and can validate the collision repairs then maybe its worth it. I personally would not buy it, but I know...

    3P's TCCS Disassembly/Analysis

    As you may know, I am working this project with a partner who is focused on the MR2 side of things. The later MR2 ECUs use 2 processor ECUS (like the JZA80) so we have been working on getting the software in place to support both the 2 processor daughterboards and the single processor boards...

    Any of you Moog guys have any long-term data. The rubber boots didn't make it past 2 years on the parts I bought.

    aftermarket tie rods

    Do the Moog's come painted, or are they going to turn bright orange after a month like my aftermarkets did? Also, can you get the 14 ft-lbs torque on the clamps, or are they too flimsy and weak like mine were.

    aftermarket tie rods

    Had the original tie rods for 19 years, but replaced them because my alignment guy compained they had rusty threads and were hard to adjust. I bought some Raybestos/Spicer aftermarket tie rods that were about 1/3 the price of Toyota tie rods. Should have known better... First off, unlike the...

    I just bought some Diamond Audio D364.5 6.75" component speakers. I'll report on how they sound once I get them installed, but unfortunately they are now discontinued. Mine was the last open-box set they had. http://www.crutchfield.com/p_114D3645/Diamond-Audio-D364-5.html

    Engine overheats on highway with AC on

    In his defense, if he was going by the TSRM instructions for compression testing they are pretty awful. The GTE refers to step 7 of the GE instructions, which doesn't exist, and there is nothing about keeping the throttle open either...
