    Aftermarket HU Randomly reboots

    Replaced the JVC head unit with a Sony recently. Every once in awhile, the JVC would just appear to turn off and then back on. Then just stopped doing it for a long time. I installed the Sony a few weeks back and just today, it rebooted 3x on my way into work. By reboot I mean it appears...

    leaky tail light?

    Tha tail light gaskets are only about $16 each and you need one for each side (they are side-specific). Dunno what the hatch seal costs, but have seen universal weatherstripping used before. I think that JC Whitney's carried a bunch of different types. Either way, plenty of options to keep...

    Passenger window Idea

    Rough-installed the DEI 530T window up/down module today. Meaning I haven't hidden/fastened things up yet. One-touch for up and down of both sides is nice. I am definitely gonna like the features. The only issue is that when I use the alarm to close the windows on "arm," the driver's...

    leaky tail light?

    Just the gaskets... anything else will not totally solve the issue.

    Replacement front Seat belts

    I've got some shadow grey ones and they are droopy. Figured aftermarket (universal replacements) come in black and are much less expensive. New they're ~$125 each (from Toyota). The last time I bought and tried to use a universal set, they fit well, but did not have the electrical connector...

    Replacement front Seat belts

    Anyone have good success with new, aftermarket ones? Specifically, those that still have the seatbelt-fastened sensor/connection, like stock.

    leaky tail light?

    People have used Home Depot foam weatherseal stuff, and some ppl use a bunch of silicone (does NOT work), but for abot $37 from Toyota, I'd starte with the tail light gaskets. If the hatch weatherstrip if FUBAR, then you can start there. Tail light gaskets worked for me.

    Passenger window Idea

    Thanks, I know that the switches are very different... Goingto get/install the 530T. Integrates with my alarm and has some other features I'd like. Was speaking more ofr simplicity of just replacing the switch. Dunno how much hacking up would be necessary, but the alarm module will be more...

    HIDs... Housing question

    I got the bixenon deal and some e-code housings. I don't like how the light's dispersed, so would like to know/see how others may have installed their HIDs, where they are VERY satisfied with the results. If you used the Hella housings, please post pics/feedback. The housings I used are...

    Passenger window Idea

    I've got an alarm module (DEI 529T) to close the windows when I arm it, but I believe there's another module which will do the up & down (DEI 530T). Have not installed anything yet, but am thinking it may be just as easy to put a driver's side switch on the passenger door. I may get a...

    Passenger window Idea

    I was wondering this myself, just earlier today. Yes, I am that lazy (if that's what you want to call it). When I drive into the garage, I want to hit both switches and have both windows go down, without me having to hold the passenger switch. While it's going down, I can then turn off my...

    Electric vehicle conversion

    That was the biggest mistake the US automakers made... Imagine where the technology would have made it by ow, if it hadn't been suppressed. Saw the video awhile back and thought of trying to do it to my spare 1990. Can probably do for under $5K, but still limited distances/speeds (since the...

    Custom center console - Input please

    I was able to find a few examples on the net. Most are for show and have a high-gloss, custom paint finish. I'm still undecided on the finish, but will not be too flashy. Lots of good ideas for the tuck-away cupholders. I may get started with sketching some designs out, then posting up to...

    Custom center console - Input please

    It is, but that's what I want to make sure mine does. that it has some better/modern lines and looks like it was designed to be there. It's my daily driver and I don't care what ya'll don't do in your cars, I take my 2nd cup (w/lid) of coffee to work in the mornings and sometimes a cup of...

    Custom center console - Input please

    So, I hate my center console. Only good for resting my arm on. I would like to customize it (maybe using fiberglass), so that it would have a functioning cup holder (away from the shifter) and maybe a couple of spots for guages, warning lights, etc. So has anyone seen something custom...

    Guys That repainted thier car: Window molding suggestions. replace, repaint?

    Mine have had a bunch of the stuff peel/flake off the back mouldings. That's just there for looks and should not leak into the cabin because of it. I am planning to remove mine and prep/paint. Awhile back, I read a few articles on doing them right. Once I get to the point where I'm ready...

    Auto-to-5 speed Shifter insulator/bracket

    Okay, Can't figure this out. I have the 5-speed shifter and the rubber boot/insulator deal, but the bracket's holes don't line up with the holes that the auto-shifter did. I want to use the rubber insulator to dampen noise and keep out debri, etc. Anyone else do something that effectively...
