    Heater Core kicked the bucket?

    Ugh. Everything except pipe 87156-14030 is still available. I suspect I just got one of the last remaining 87156-14040 though so if you need one order it soon. The clamps and o-rings are 'standard' so no worries there.

    Turbo inlet size????

    What kind of adapter are you talking about? The most common adapter that people use is the MAFT-Pro. There are many many threads on the board that talk about setup... With something like this you would use a GM MAP sensor in place of the stock/Lexus AFM so there would be no 'upgrade to Lex..'...

    I have the last one in the world!

    *wipes the drool off his chin* I'd LOVE to come across something like that. The parts of my harness that aren't brittle have green crap in the wires. Gonna take the time to rebuild mine piece by piece with some weather pack harnesses in strategic locations when I get a daily.

    Power steering hose replacement?

    I've had the DM line for over a year now (daily driven) without issues.

    Dies at idle

    Just an update. It appears to have been a combination of a weak alternator and CPS wires that were in need of repair. Been running for 4 days now without a stall after rigging the wiring. Even sat in line for an hour waiting to get into a show with 0 issues. Should have my weather pack...

    New car! wooo hooo

    Congratulations. Not getting into the faster/slower debate but I prefer a 5 speed myself. If you want you can always swap it later.

    I know its a stupid? But i have got to ask.

    It's not recommended. That being said I too have reused a crush washer or two in a pinch. When reusing I heat them up to red hot to soften them back up a bit and then let them cool.

    Dies at idle

    That's only one side of the plug. I've have my CPS apart previously and would prefer to completely replace from the solder to ~10" past the plug given it's current state.

    Dies at idle

    New alternator is installed and charging at 14+. Seems to be a more stable cold idle. The CPS wiring is definitely shot though. Had to wiggle it again to get her started and the idle drooped when I dropped the hood. Once I get that wired up with a new plug (just gonna grab a 4 wire auto plug...

    Wiring Harness

    Might be a lucrative business coming up for MKIII harnesses. I know that once I'm able to get a daily beater and have the spare cash (6-9 months) I'll be pulling my harness as I'm sick of random wires breaking or going to rewire a plug only to find the wire filled with green corrosion.

    +1 for stem seals. I had the exact symptoms and after replacing the seals during a BHG job I've yet to see ANY smoke.

    Dies at idle

    The alternator will be here today. The local Supra meet is tonight so I'll be getting the alternator on, verifying that it's charging, and running to the meet. My best guess though is that the alternator will not be THE fix and I will still have some troubleshooting to do this weekend...

    Clutch safety/sensor

    The clutch safety switch is simply an on/off switch. If the wires are missing the previous owner may have spliced them together to allow the car to start without pressing the clutch.

    Is there a way to replace the speedo shaft with electronic one? (Like in T.Aristo)

    I believe you are looking for THIS LINK. This is the Marlin Crawler adapter.

    Cops love our cars

    88 Hyundai Excel, maroon 96-98: 3 speeding tickets 85 Celica GTS Liftback, black 98-99: 0 speeding tickets Pulled over for no seat belt. The cop had me get out of the car and walk around the back to talk to him. Had been to a rave the night before and had just dropped a buddy off...
