    Let me see your trunks!

    I like to do a lot of mountain road driving..... aka roads which aren't ideally maintained. I have AAA Plus (100mi free towing), but i'm STILL keeping my spare. Fullsized spares are nice, and just incase anything were to happen out of cell phone range, i'd rather limp back to a town then be...

    Speed's Completely Unspeedy 1JZ. 56k is so 1990's

    I was looking at running it through the trans tunnel hump thing, but didn't see a way to get the carpet up without tearing it. *shrug*

    Speed's Completely Unspeedy 1JZ. 56k is so 1990's

    Yay Wiring :aigo: The left harness is for the alarm, the center is for the stereo, the right is for some relays. Ran the alarm harness up along the driver's side door sill. If you take it apart, theres a nice little cubby for wires to run up and down the car, just slid the wires...

    Speed's Completely Unspeedy 1JZ. 56k is so 1990's

    Mike, Yes, I have every mechanical gremlin under control. Only "issues" left are getting the tach more accurate, bodywork, exhaust and interior/electronics. Oh, and getting the camber adjusted. In the near future I'll type up a post over viewing everything thats gone on thus far, so its in...

    go a little easier on the contrast, makes my retina's bleed! :P One thing i've noticed with people trying night time HDR, they expect it to magically lighten up the cars so they're not underexposed. HDR doesn't do that, you still have to have the car lit. No amount of software effects can...

    Expensive intercooler or cheap intercooler

    well, if you're going to buy a full 'kit', get a properly engineered one. Get the expensive one. If you're willing to do the fabrication yourself, get a universal piping kit that has a bunch of bends, straight peices, etc (you'll need to plan the layout first, then see which kit has the peices...

    1jz and 2jz throttle body

    Power Steering Pump Acting up, Looking for answers

    Well, I got my replacement pump from tlo86 (thanks again!), got it installed.. and no more noise! I also talked to toyota, and they said dex III is okay to use in the rack, but he wouldn't go with anything else (just dex 2 or 3). Man, its good to not hear that whine.

    How important is the P/S pump Air Control Valve?

    Ah coolies. Eventually I'll fix it, but my main goal is to get the car drivable, and if its functionality is so minute, i'll get away with it. Thanks for the reply guys :)

    How important is the P/S pump Air Control Valve?

    what do you mean, fix it like a vac line? (heh, that sounds like a shitty song that would be played on the radio - kinda like 'shake it like a polariod') *cough* does all it need is 1 vac source? Can i block off the broken nipple (it broke all the way at the housing), and reroute that line...

    How important is the P/S pump Air Control Valve?

    How important is the P/S pump Air Control Valve?? In swapping mine over from my bad pump to the new one, one of the nipples broke off. Do I need to whip out some plastic welding stuff and get it back on, or can I just bypass it?

    Here's a pic of the misc body parts I picked up: The doors need paint, but thats okay since the whole car is getting painted. Whats important is that they're rust free, the windows are in good shape and the window tracks are straight. My driver's side door has rust around the broken...
