Ok, finally took some pics of the finished product. It's been running now for almost three weeks, and I've finally got everything cleaned up - all the extra wires back into wiring loom, built a mounting bracket for the MAFT, and put in my new windshield washer nozzle to replace the one I snapped...

So, I figured this out. It's a bit embarassing, but I'll take the hit so that people can figure this out in the future. When the manual says to use Dexron II Automatic Transmission Fluid in the power steering, they are absolutely serious. Regular power steering fluid just doesn't work so...

Personally, I hope they go the Atom route - put out a car that doesn't have any luxuries, is light as hell, and has a horsepower that is small - until you compare it to the weight! That way they can go after the younger market, instead of the old bank execs and oil shieks.

Yes, a delay would solve the up ... down ... up ... down issue. Wouldn't solve the fact that your lights would want to turn on after being in shadow for 15 seconds or so, even on bright days, though.

I can get the memory usage to pop up pretty high if I work at it, sure. Like browsing and downloading 1600x1200 wallpapers... especially if I open a bunch of tabs. But whatever, I'd rather buy more memory than put up with cleaning spyware off my machine every few days.

If you post up your AIM screen names, the 'players' will send you an invite when they are online. Usually gets a party going pretty quick. :D

It died off several years back with SOGI. The problem is that people usually need the thicker shims, so you end up with a bank of thin shims. :(

This is normal. The turbo is spinning faster, but so is the engine, and with the stock turbo at higher RPMs, the engine can suck in more than the turbo can put out. As for your second question, that's just the way turbos work. When you rev out of gear, the engine isn't really using much...

I wasn't! I feel left out... someone was looking at porn and I didn't get to see it. :(

Hmmm... there is this wonderful thread in the FAQ section that explains exactly what is required to hit what HP levels. It's a bit out of date, as you can likely replace the fuel pump / injectors / fuel computer and replace it with a MAFT, but it's still a damn fine guide...

Heh... 20MB isn't low at all. Check this out - notice what is taking more memory? :D

If Toyota gets back into the sports car market, it will not be to make money. It will be to prevent Nissan from owning the market completely. I believe that Toyota is fully capable of supporting a car that loses money for them from a manufacturing perspective just to maintain a presense in the...

I must agree here. Tolerance is a requirement - if you believe that someone else's failth is incorrect, that's fine, but they must have the right to choose their own path.

I still can't get used to it... I keep thinking I'm not me, and I am dead. :D

Ha ha! Suze, that's great! I took some pics of mine after it's all finished and buttoned up. Enjoy.

I don't think it's feasible off this circuit - it only detects direct sunlight, so driving in things like the shadow of a mountain would turn on your headlights. Plus, everyone with pop up lights wants complete control over them. :)

That's DAMN nice Jeff. Especially the car in it. ;)

Ya, I was reading the TSRM today and figured this out. I'm wondering if my steering computer is plugged in... I might have missed it when I plugged the wiring harness back into the ECU, I guess.

Well, it won't be #3. I just rebuilt the engine... it's only been running again for 2 weeks. Valves are cleaner than an engine out of the factory. I rather doubt it will be #2, either. I had all the injectors cleaned and tested when they were out for the rebuild.

I'm there. And so are some other people, for once!
