When in Okinawa, I remember seeing alot of those types of holes, closed up with maybe a bolt/cap. Since I plan on occasionally swapping to the stock spoiler back on, I am going to find a "flat-headed" bolt that I can use to temporarily seal up the holes. I am using a whaletail, which hides the...

Good info... Any issues with clearance to the ground (standard Eibach Sport spring height, w/18" wheels)? As many times as I've scraped the subframe/oilpan, I wanna B sure I don't damage it some way that will leave me without oil (rodknock or seized engine on side of highway).

...would also suggest you look at or replace front main seal while you're there.

Common to have a cracked subframe in the early Turbo MKIIIs. If you have the opportunity to upgrade to an 89+ subframe cheap (they usually run less than $150), get it (if you have a turbo anyways, dunno about cracking w/the N/As).

Dunno about cutting into the metal, to get to and replace/weld a new nut, to then weld the cut metal to close things back up. What would that cost to do at a body shop? Lots of folks swear by heli-coil and it seems trusted for work, similar to this. They swear it's stronger than it was...

^^I'm figuring I'd be swapping in another set of slotted/x-drilled rotors and powder coating the calipers (blue) to match my paint scheme... once I have everything. Before I powder coat the calipers, I'd be rebuilding them anyways (no need to pay more for a rebuilt pair, but we'll see)...

No update in a couple of days... Did we get enough ppl signed up for the group buy, so that things can get started?

I used this thread's info when I redid all of my A/C stuff. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?44138-HOW-TO-Charging-your-A-C-air-conditioner-conditioning-system-at-home. A dryer/receiver can be had at most autoparts for around $30. I ordered mine from ACkits.com (~$18), 'cause I...

The dryer/receiver should be changed almost anytime you open the system up. First, it's many years old and probably has captured/filtered all that it could... Second, once you open the system up (and leave open long enough), it captures moisture from the air. Third, especially if U R changing...

Very nice!! Good job!

One of my front seat belt anchor points are stripped. Looking to heli coil and wondered if anyone else has done it already and knows the drill bit/insert sizes to use. I also need to heli-coil one of my hatch bump stops' bolts... Please add other areas where you've successfully used...

^^not to mention the leaked oil that builds up in there, sometimes fouling the plugs.

^Mine didn't. Had to swap/test. Replaced one (rear) CPS and all got better (seal was broke and oil in it).

Check the things that don't usually trip a code... Vacuum lines, CPS connections, etc... Good luck!!

Me too, interested.

Dunno that there is a specific sequence. Don't remember seeing it in the TRSM. I replaced my SF bushing and have some pics/write-up in this thread... Starts at around post #99. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?89326-GB-MK3-Front-amp-Rear-Subframe-Poly-Bushings Hope it helps...

Sorry... Updated the sticky on another forum, but forgot about this one... I had changed hosts a few years back... The new link is http://www.g099521.net/MKIII/2JZ_SWAP/pinout_test.xls

I had the same issue and it turned out that the thick black/orange wire (B1 connector) was not making a good connection, within the plastic connectors (I had already swapped ignitors, ECUs, etc, etc). I unpinned the wires from the plastic connector/housing and joined them together outside...

Not going to track on Sunday? 9:00 AM Having breakfast at Tropical Island Cafe. Cuban/Carribean food. Come get your Pan Cubano, huevos w/almost anything, omelletes, cafe con leche, espresso, & some good company. http://www.tropicalislandcafe.net/contacts.html 10:ish AM Track 21 Indoor...

My car definitely feels better with all of the suspension changes (poly bushings, new springs/struts, SF bushings, etc). The wing definitely provides a certain rigidity that I can tell is not there w/targa off. Because my suspension is fairly new & stiff, I can still feel some flex in the body...
