"The illusionist" "300" Don't forget to try independent and foreign films. "The lives of others"

Are they originals or copies?

Nickel Chrome resistance wire. Oh my _od!! We use nickel chrome wire at work to cut Styrofoam blocks for mold pours. The wire gauge is just about right as well. Kudos jetjock! ---------------------------- I was able to get some nickel chromium resistor wire. I removed the wirewound...

^^^ I would say 20 yrs of age and condensation (corrosion). The factory low speed resistor wire was very brittle. OK, you guys are shaming me into going out and fixing right. :slap:

Well after fixing the low speed setting on my AC several times I took the original fix and modded it a little further. The AC blower fan speeds are controlled through a resistor pack located underneath the glove box in the blower motor housing. The resistor pack has three coiled wire resistors...

Wow that's an old model. At least from the 70s or early 80s. The compression sounds good because it is even. Make sure you check the gear lube oil on the lower unit. If its white or foamy than you have water leaking into the lower unit gear box. If the outboard has only been used in...

I don't know squat about cars but I know about speeding tickets. Get yourself a traffic ticket attorney. Search the yellow pages in your area or the area where you got the ticket. They do all the legwork and you lose no time from work. Somehow they beat the ticket 65% of the time or get it...

Do you happen to have the number on the front of the scion HU faceplate for future reference. Thanks for the info.

I'm planning on getting rid of the stock turbo elbow\downpipe and cat. The catback exhaust is first on the list. I'm getting tired of having exhaust come out from underneath the drivers seat. Living in FL whats your opinion on aluminized vs stainless or even ceramic considering our climate.

Alright you all convinced me not to give up. Well my first mod will be a re-torque on the factory HG. My second mod would be my catback. My present one looks like swiss cheese. I've been doing some looking around and I think I am going to go with the Raptor dual tip. After that the supra fund...

I mention it not out of disrespect to the supra community which would include myself. I mentioned it because the 5.0 is not a turbo car and the power curve or torque seemed to start from the get go or a dead stop. The supra is my first turbo powered vehicle.

I would think the stock toyo harness would just plug into the scion radio. Why don't you try to PM member 86.6mkIII and ask. Let us know his/her reply.

Well I finally got the backbone to post this question. I've done some reading about turbo engines and turbo lag or boost threshold but honestly that ride from 0 rpm to 2500 rpm or 0 boost to 7 psi seems so slow. Is this normal, or better yet what should I expect. Can I do anything to reduce the...

6' 1" The head room is fine. Just lower the seat and maybe recline the seat a tad. Better work on your squats and lunges though. Getting out of supra especially if its been lowered is a uphill climb.

I still think the only good or valid appraisal is one certified or required by your insurer. An appraisal company or appraisal expert can paint a real pretty picture but remember he / she are in the business of making a living with appraisals. Call your insurer and if they don't meet your needs...

I miss my 89 5.0 notch back mustang. She blasted of the line and ran strong. No turbo lag. Parts are cheap and plentiful. Damn the bastard that pinched her.:cry:

Are any of these "appraisals" worth a hill of beans to our insurance companies? The KBB or whatever they use is always so low.

This reply doesn't really cover your question about the vacuum pump type but I think it might be helpful with your project. The pdf file is a TSB (technical service bulletin) from Toyota with specific instructions on retrofitting r12 systems.

PADI certified Too many dives to mention in the FL Keys. Wreck diving in Ft. Lauderdale and then some. My parents moved to the keys and became conchs. Diving and boating was the norm. Honestly we got tried of using all that heavy equipment. Free diving with a weight belt, fins, mask and...
