    Jaguar_5's 87 Turbo Build

    That won't even cover the sand paper and tape... So I'm a little disappointed with how the paint came out, but it's purely due to my shitty 'paint booth' and contaminants floating down and embedding itself in my paintjob while it's trying to dry :icon_evil These photos actually make it...

    need help just got an 87 turbo dont know if turbo is bad

    Any SolidWorks users?

    Not professionally (though I would love to) but I did take a class on Solidworks and thought it was just awesome to work with! If you go down to the bottom of the page and look at the Similar threads, mine appears as the first one and has a very outdated image of a '7M' rotating assembly I was...

    fuse panel buzzing

    So, it occurred to me, that these flashers increase speed when one of the bulbs is out, correct? So considering i have none of my turn signals hooked up currently, I'm assuming this is the cause :biglaugh:
