    Doc's Viper Vs Doc's Gixxer

    Cool Ass Dentist! And musical taste is dead on too. BTW was Boost recently at The Wharf in Orange Beach for the Live/Collective Soul concert? There was a very nice Viper there in that same outfit if not.

    Color Chop/Change Please?

    OR.... a complete Black I kinda like the look of the black/white, but the hood makes it just a bit too much black on the white car.

    ForcedTorque's 3E5 has Arrived!!!!!

    I have now done some diagnosing. I am not getting anything out of my starter wire. So, I'm assuming that either the wire I used was not good, or I did a poor job connecting it. Either way, I gotta fix it. I'm assuming that my clutch safety switch is fine, and it is harness related, because I...

    ForcedTorque's 3E5 has Arrived!!!!!

    I did say that. But, it has been a while since I have done that. So, I guess it could have been bumped into gear, but that simple question somewhat answers the clutch question. A quick turn of a wrench should let me know if it's in gear then. If I only knew how to think for myself.

    ForcedTorque's 3E5 has Arrived!!!!!

    Approved! Oh, and guess what else is back????????????? You two guys go ahead and get yours locked down and out of the way while I finish my car. And back on topic............Could I have possibly installed my clutch wrong, and caused a locked situation?

    She is. You just don't know how much will power it took to not take the money out of my paint fund to match the offer he had on the body.

    ForcedTorque's 3E5 has Arrived!!!!!

    Now it's the weekend, maybe I can get something figured out. I'm gonna start by checking current thru the starter wire. From there, I'm gonna add my gear oil, and install the shifter, so I can be sure it's out of gear. If this doesn't work, I'm gonna bench test my starter out of the car. If it...

    ForcedTorque's 3E5 has Arrived!!!!!

    Well, I know the motor turns, cause I can turn it by hand. Since my last post, I've started wondering if the thing may just be in gear. My shifter is still out, because I need to top off the gear oil before putting it in right. But the fornt end is raised, so if it's in gear, maybe it wouldn't...

    ForcedTorque's 3E5 has Arrived!!!!!

    Minor progress. I got help from Ken and Jim to teach me how to usre my multimeter. I know, I'm a dumb ass, and yes, it took being told twice. I found that my battery is good, but my positive cable was not getting good contact. I fixed that, and now my new starter is doing the same thing the old...

    Supra on Pinks!

    I always said Mach 3 until I was corrected. It still seems uncomfortable saying mark 3, so I use MKIII most........em kay? EDIT*******And if Shawn would stop by every now and then to answer some of his questions, maybe things wouldn't have gotten out of hand here. I salute his success.

    Tookwik's 3E5/7M is FTW build, Pt. 2. (Actual progress occurring regularly)

    Are we waiting on new body moldings as well? Car is looking like it should be displayed in a glass case.

    ForcedTorque's 3E5 has Arrived!!!!!

    I have swapped the relay, and that made no change. As for disengaging the alarm, I will search for the proper way. I think Ken talked me through it a while back. The car also had the aftermarket alarm. I have cut all ignition related wires from it, so I think I have it disabled.
