    Fog Light Problem

    No. You have parking lights already. I think johnthaon1 was doing the same thing, or something similar. You need diodes to direct the current one way when you start splicing.

    Fog Light Problem

    You need to wire it so the switch completes the circuit on the relay. From Toyota, they run the power from the headlamps and ground from the switch. Move those. I would draw it out, but my printer is not here. What year?

    Exhaust IDEA! looking for oppinions?

    Seems like this would be really loud. The fart pipe lovers will be all over it. edit: To clarify, I don't think it would sound like a fart pipe, it would just be loud.

    Dumb hydrofan question

    You need a fan shroud for maximum cooling. It pulls air over the entire radiator.

    Dyno looks like EKG

    What did the dyno operators say? Was it strapped down tight, were the wheels spinning? You are losing power, and there are only two choices, the car or it is slipping.

    My key broke in the ignition...

    It has been a while since I took out a Toyota igntion. Like 9 years. Anyway, seems like with the key in it, you push in the side pin and the assembly comes out. Just so you know. edit: Brad, that is a bad ass looking car in the sig.

    Tax question.

    3 means you have 3 dependents, including yourself. So in the end, you don't have 3 and will owe. On the other hand, I don't put down 0 because that is giving the government an intrest free loan.

    oil disappearing, help?

    How much? A quart in a thousand miles? I suggest the owners manual. They print it for a reason. What they touch on the manual is why the oil level drops so fast after a trip of good distance. The oil heats up, and the additive pack goes to work. And all the garbage that dilutes the oil is...

    Well, gravity doesn't push the oil upwards around the oil control ring, into the combustion chamber, missing the flame front, and up through the threads.

    Fog Light Problem

    If you really have all that power then you don't have ground. :) On a more technical note, the fog light switch gets power from the headlamps. The ground side of the switch goes through the headlight switch. The foglight switch only controls the relay.

    7mge crank in 7mgte?

    Yep. The "6M" or older 7M crank not being fully balanced is a tired inaccurate statement.
