    Next question- What replacement antenna for the 89+ wing?

    My antenna appears to be shot- both the mast and the motor are dead. Was looking at Metra and Hirschman antennas, but was wondering what other people have used in place of the oem antenna. Are there any concerns to be aware of, regarding the retracted height, on the 89+ wing? Or am I just...

    You mean the trim adhesive? Autozone sells it in the exact width necessary-1/2". Just cleaned up the outside of the car today. Hoping to register it tomorrow.

    Project: Git'R driving...a VERY short build

    3 out of 4 aint bad... Installed wiper arms, connected reverse light, and installed the heater hose. Also filled and bled the brake system. Then took the car for its very first drive. Just to the top of my street and back. She did just fine, no issues. At first, the idle was unstable and it...

    Swapping oem radio for another oem...what are the possibilities?

    Got the new deck in, seems to work well. It also got rid of all the buzz and noise of the old unit.

    Swapping oem radio for another oem...what are the possibilities?

    Got it in today. I think it looks pretty good, and the feedback/ buzz/ hiss is gone now. Question to Silver Mk3: There is a third plug socket on the back of the unit, is this what you plugged your aux adapted into?

    Mountain build!

    A good looking car. Ask92 makes a good point about the heft of these cars. If I might make a suggestion: perhaps drop the 7M, and go with a 1UZFE. Now I'm a diehard 7M guy, but for you power goals and planned car mission, I really think a 1UZ would make a lot of sense: You get extra down-low...

    Project: Git'R driving...a VERY short build

    Okay...Replacing springs on the rear of a TEMS car SUCKS. I had to half-remove the rear seat side panel, as well as the rear hatch plastic, just to get the TEMS cover off! So now I'm halfway done with ONE side of the rear... Then, when I got the old spring off, I found that the oem bumpstop...
