    Engine woes...

    Okay. I have a better idea of what I need to do to get this 7M-GTE up to par as a daily driver. I've had a few issues with the fluids, namely radiator and oil leaking, and I took it over to a stealership to take a look. I found a guy knowledgable with Supras and MR2s, and from spending a few...

    Bearded dragon

    I owned a beardie for 7 years and they are definitely an experience. The gaping they do under heat lamps is to thermoregulate their body temps so they don't overheat. Tell your friend to make sure he has a cool place to get to to hide from the heat as well, at least 20deg. cooler than his...

    Rear light bulb indicator warning light - gettin' irritated...

    :rant2:Well.... that was semi-fruitless.... :3d_frown: I found out that the front marker bulbs were touchy, and although I replaced the bulbs with fresh ones, I had to wiggle the blessed things a few times to get them to make contact with the wires, so now both front side markers light up...

    RIP 308 mk3's.

    That officially sucks, but don't forget. Some stealerships were offering the gov't incentive on ANY vehicle, WORKING OR NOT. If you have a Sube' that has a hydrolocked or otherwise blown engine and can tow the $%^&in' thing to the stealership, they'd give you money for that too. Not all vehicles...

    Rear light bulb indicator warning light - gettin' irritated...

    Awesome writeup!!! But first I'm going to check the spoiler lights tomorrow and see if they have any carbon scoring, then go through each wire back there and make sure all the connections are tight. I've never soldered before, so if I run across one that's literally hanging by a thread I have a...

    Rear light bulb indicator warning light - gettin' irritated...

    This has started to light up whenever I tap the brakes after starting the car and never goes off until I turn the car off. I removed the rear panels and checked all the bulbs for scoring or carbon, all bulbs are intact. I also checked for loose wiring to each bulb and found one that looked like...

    Red Soup, White wheels?? Yey or Gay?

    Huh. That actually looks better in bronze than I would've thought. I kept thinking gold for some reason.

    Red Soup, White wheels?? Yey or Gay?

    Nope, can't see gold-bronze on those wheels, don't think it would look right. I'd go with either the white or black with red border around the rim, black spokes. THAT would stand out. :evil2:

    TEMS question

    I've been told that if your shocks are in that bad of a shape, it's cheaper and easier to ditch the TEMS system and just get 4 normal shocks. You can get really good performance for less money on 4 shocks than you would getting one TEMS-compatable shock, and you don't have to worry about whether...

    Eclipse CD5030 headunit - A+++!!!!

    It does if the car is on, but I don't think it does when turned off. I'll have to check that.
