Tis true but to answer the question again (we've been down this road before) crimped joints are superior if done right. That means the proper tools and terminals. AMP PIDG is pretty much the standard in aviation where other than in avionics soldered joints are generally prohibited in aircraft...

You're not in Alaska so I wouldn't sweat it too much. 50/50 will do ;) I use G-05 in all my vehicles including the Supra. It's a long life HOAT chemistry I consider superior to others: http://tinyurl.com/hakgu Course, you can't go wrong with Toyota's stuff either...

^ 2 gallons? Isn't that near the system's capacity? More is not better when talking about antifreeze, especially when it comes to freeze protection: http://tinyurl.com/ys7ltj

A gadget (which iirc was invented in Oz) that can run the engine without petrol using Orgone energy. Life force stuff. Serious ooga-booga if I ever saw some. Goggle it ;) I do know people who run H2 or HHO (Brown's Gas) generators in their cars to boost fuel economy though. I'm told it works...

Lies. He's using a Joe Cell but is afraid to admit it ;)

Hmmm. By any chance are you Polish? ;) Assuming you're using H4 lamps it looks OK to me even though you're using more wires than I would have. You should have been able to get away with only one brown and blue for relay control. Are you removing sealed beams to install H4s? If so do the stock...

http://tinyurl.com/5hjxm Are those 5 pin relays with a normally closed 87A terminal or are they the standard 4 pin with just an 87? Depending on what you mean by "headlight pigtail" that looks OK but if you have 5 pin relays don't use 87A. You don't need it. There is also little point to a...

Yes, the combo switch controls the integration relay which in turn controls the headlight relay. Without it there could be no headlight auto-off feature. If you're doing a rewire to improve lighting performance and want to keep auto-off you'll need to use that output to drive a new relay while...

Well, they don't *always* have power. The integration relay controls the power through the headlight relay via the combination switch. For some reason I'm unable to view your schematic.

^ I find it interesting someone building a 525 hp motor would ask such a basic question but OK, without going into excessive detail: The O2 sensor is the primary emissions control device on the engine. It's sole purpose in life is to serve the catalytic converter by keeping the exhaust stream...

Bravo. All excellent comments from people who clearly know what they're talking about. SM at it's finest ;)

Nice. Considering air pollution each year contributes to the illness and death of thousands of people that pretty much sums it up.

Damn cj, it must be second nature to you by now. I didn't think there was anything to that claim. I've heard from some pros even if there was a risk they still prefer autos to avoid flashing from nearby coworkers. Someone recently gave me one of those cheap bench top bead blasters. I'm...

No pix at the moment but I'll see what I can do. When I say weld cans that means butt joints with them flattened or end to end. It's not skill as much as having the right equipment. Inverters typically produce very smooth arcs and mine also does sloping and pulsing. The torch (...

The Millers mentioned are good choices for linear machines but I prefer inverters. They offer more advantages than just light weight. I own two Thermal Arc inverters, one multiprocess for SMAW, GMAW, and DC GTAW, the other is AC/DC GTAW and gets used the most. Problem is inverters aren't cheap...

^ That doesn't make any sense because no part of cold start system is monitored by the TCCS in any way but hey, whatever works. I'm guessing it was your EFI coolant sensor wire that was busted. That'd cause it. Vlad: First determine if the loss of rest pressure is within limits. If it's not...

fixed again ;)

fixed...

It was nice of you to mention that little detail in a prior post.

Some loss in that time is completely normal. If it falls within Toyota's test limits (see the TSRM) it's OK. That said loss of rest pressure (Toyota calls it residual pressure but I prefer the Bosch term) can be from external or internal leakage. External leakage is self explanatory...
