    anyone else click New Posts all the time?

    I use it all the time. Hell, my shortcut to SM is to the new posts URL, not the main forum listing.

    heater control valve what goes with it?

    Nothing else goes with it - unplug the wiring, unbolt it, reconnect the hoses, and you're done. Brand new? Or hasn't broken yet but is 20 years old? If it's brand new and you're not asking too much, I'll buy it.

    ohms. can i change them??

    Yup, that's the stuff I'm talking about. I run HiFonics series VIII gear - not *quite* as good as the HCCA, but the shop I worked at only carried Kenwood, Rodek, and HiFonics, so I got hookup deals. I'd have had to pay full price for Orion gear.

    Looks like fun! Take a camera and bring back pictures of what you can drive now.

    ohms. can i change them??

    Well, the fuse is a decent indication if they are blowing it all the time! ;) My system is awfully similar - only 350W total. Of course, my amps are from the days where they were hugely underrated for competition.

    ohms. can i change them??

    In my experience, either one should work fine.

    ohms. can i change them??

    Most speakers can take some clipping before they die. Mine have taken lots in their 20 year lifetime, and they still work fine. Clipping also doesn't care what your power rating is on the speakers. Here is a good graph that explains clipping: Clipping happens when your AMP runs out of...

    Willfish: Post in here when you're NOT drunk

    Well, if he's here he won't be posting in THIS thread very often! He hasn't even been on for over 2 weeks... (Last Activity: 02-12-2008 04:27 PM) well worth a call to see if he's ok.

    Dipsticks

    If you get a new one from Toyota, it will be very easy to read. They changed the design on the dipstick. Well worth the investment for everyone.

    ohms. can i change them??

    Years ago, when I was into car stereos, the only real difference between a 4 ohm stable amp and a 1 ohm stable amp was better cooling and different marketing materials. I haven't kept up on the field, so things may well have changed since then, but I seriously doubt it can hurt to wire it in...

    Crutchfield says that this CD changer wont work in the supra with the stock head unit

    WTF are they smoking? Even the description says, "any FM car radio". If it doesn't work, I'll eat my left shoe.

    Question about intercooler

    I'd seriously suggest a kit that includes new hardpipes at the same time. Check out the offering from ETS, it's decent and includes all the stuff you need to mount it up.

    what would cause this

    No, there is nothing you can do without taking off the head.

    ohms. can i change them??

    I would probably wire the system up for 2 ohms mono and set the volume lower than normal... and keep checking the temperature on the amp. If it gets hot, turn down the gain on the amp some more. However, I'm old, and rarely play my system anywhere near full on anymore. If you're young and...

    Which rims?

    Bolted wheels are awesome. Except when you need to clean them, of course.

    Prosport gauges in the stock cluster (w/pics)

    Spray the white plastic backing on the original cluster flat black. That does a LOT to help with bleeding, I did that for my in - cluster boost gauge.

    Can someone please identify this part- Flush/Fill connector

    I've heard that another model of Toyota uses the same valve that's cast out of some metal instead of plastic. Mine has yet to give way, so I haven't tried to dig up a part number yet.
