    Water proofing a Cold Air Intake

    Hadn't gotten to this project yet, but would like to make a similar box which seals w/the hood and have some air routed from below. The only thing I can't seem to figure out, is what heat shielding I can add to keep the ambient heat from the metal away from the filter area. Seen 'em on other...

    Someone with a 89+ MK3 answer me regarding rear marker light

    I believe the rear marker lights are fed from the stock tail light bulb holder (light bar)... It is functional and I put LEDs in mine a couple years back. I do have some bulb holders on the shelf somewhere and can take a look later today, if you need a pic (or check the for sale section for...

    1jz Hydro pump or not?

    Since you already have the 2J one, go with that. If you did not have those pieces available and needed to finish the swap and the Hydro wiring/reservoir/cooler was in place, I'd say run it 'til it dies. I have the 2J mechanical setup, but the hydro fan REALLY moves some air and you wouldn't...

    Disassembling door mirrors?

    LOL... MKIII mirrors are a preferred property/environment for wasps. You are affecting the entire eco-system ;-) I recently replaced my mirrors and had to disassemble/change guts/repaint... Out of 6 mirrors, only 1 of them did not have the honeycombs.

    What to look for - Buying an MK3

    Yeah, check the basics that are common for most cars. The old advice about checking for BHG is kinda different these days. Assume you need to replace the headgasket/engine and go from there. Rust, frame damage, and dash wiring is what I'd focus on. The interior/exterior cosmetics is probably...

    Resistor pack???

    ...Don't remember. Do a search on Ebay for Acura resistor pack... A long time ago, I bid and got the 4 cyl one by accident. You want the one that has 7 wires...1 in, 6 out. Wire it in where the same wires split in the Aristo's harness. I am still rebuildingmy engine, but may have the...

    Resistor pack???

    Don't remember the differences, but found that I needed to use the 2JZ (or Honda) resistor pack, instead of the 7M one (I have a couple of spares I did not want to waste). Bought a Honda/Acura one with connectors/pigtails for $20. I did alot of research on SF and it was the general...

    Nice pic!

    This is the closest I've seen it get, as far as most-MKIIIs together, in the last 10 years of the Houston meets (definitely not all are pristine)... Will find the hi-res version and post a link later...

    Coolant steaming up the windshield

    I used a replacement heater core from a local autoparts and the pipes/fittings were sketchy to me, so instead of using the o-rings, I just soldered the other pipes on, like others had done/suggested. No problems, no leaks, and more importantly, no coolant smell in the cabin (finally). Only way...
