    Dash Board Removal

    One afternoon, if you take your time.... plan on an hour to remove (use a small power screwdriver - makes it easier for all the trim screws), a couple of hours for prep, paint, and dry... and maybe 2 hours to reinstall. Once you've done it a couple of times you can do it in alot less time...

    Dash Board Removal

    I can give ya to some general steps, but you have to take pics along the way. That way, we can use the pis in a write-up, to show the different steps and locations where the dash is fastened to everything else.... Actually... while pics may be nice, I did see the dash removal steps...

    Clear turn signals?

    I've heard of others getting them for less, maybe Ebay? I got mine off Ebay, but ProCarParts was the seller... Just got 'em for a few $$ less than directly from their site. Good luck!

    What should I look for on a 1JZ swapped car?

    Looks like you get a few goodies as well.... I'd pay $5k... If everything else is mint and it runs good, just looks like a little cleaning up should be all it needs. You can always go back and check/re-do wiring if ya need to. Average 1JZ swap is easily near $4K alone. It's got an 89+...

    Need help ASAP, supra is down for the count?

    Sounds to me like something basic... like the ground wire to the coilpacks, loose connection at the igniter, etc, etc. I'd take some time to just make sure that what "looks" connected, is actually connected and making good contact. The CPS wires are the trickiest that way. I used to have to...

    What's this connector?

    .....Man, I swear this MKIII has finished off, what was left of my mind... I thought it was the alarm horn too.... HOWEVER, I found a small grey 2-wire connector below the plenum (which others have said they have unconnected as well), which I swear was connected to a short connector, which...

    What's this connector?

    Okay, so I never play this game, but I guess I need to. I'll have to include a pic later, but here goes.... On the engine harness, where it comes to the firewall, almost behind the intake cam cover.... There is a white 2-wire connector that has a yellow/blue wire and a white one(w/brown...

    Need help getting front TURN SIGNALS off.......

    You will need to remove the "grill" sections that run along the same line as the signal lights. There is a small screw holding those on, that is tricky to reach from behind them (where the power steering cooler runs). Remove those, them you will have exposed another screw that holds the...

    hate this car, brakes dont work

    I have a very spongy feel to my brakes and the pedal goes way low.... Air in the system, right? Well, after many bleeds and alot of frustration, I don't think so. I've been searching and have found nothing different in the TRSM or anywhere else that tells me to bleed it differently for my...

    Seized tie-rods

    Actually... the tech at the shop broke it, while trying to finish the alignment. Car's been sitting for a long time, so I can kinda see it. A different tech was there today and it was raining, so I wasn't gonna try and change it in the parking lot... I let them do it and they charged 1.5 hours...

    Seized tie-rods

    Okay, so went to get the alignment done today and the driver's side tie-rod was siezed and ended up popping off of the knuckle. So, I basically need to replace the inner and outer tie-rod on that side. I have an inner tie-rod from an '88T... is it interchange-able with my 90T? Are they...
