    Tryin to figure out why my car has been running so rich.

    I like posts which supply their own answer. ;) Start with the knock sensor then post back. Also, what wideband and gauge are you using?

    My New Toy...

    Nice parts car. You're going to love having the 2JZ out of it in your MKIII. Before you crush the shell though let let me know what you want for the seats. ;)

    ^^^ROFL The thing that gets me is all the people who buy them to "fix up" and "rebuild" yet they don't do ANY research until they've already got the car in their garage with half the contents of the engine bay sitting in a large unlabeled heap next to the fender and new set of cut springs.

    Definitely, and there's really no better way to make sure the oil's pumping short of removing the big pan thingy on the bottom.... but it's too hard to get to.

    head light relay/ sqiurters

    NO = Normally Open. When power is applied to the coil then it closes and current flows through the switch side. When the power is removed the switch opens.

    fuel pump resistor wire colours

    You keep blowing resistors? Are you running the stock pump on the car? I'd start looking for the cause.

    Just got Exhaust on!!!

    Understandable, most cameras have horrible built in mic's. It does sound raspier than I like... I know most N/A's do. :nono:

    head light relay/ sqiurters

    To control when they function, just install a NO relay which closes when the headlights are on. It's simple, you connect one side of the coil to the low beam wire and the other side to ground.

    Looks good, but I'm definitely sticking with my Borla. ;)

    fuel pump resistor wire colours

    That one's from an '88 GTE. If you're talking about the smaller plug which actually goes to the resistor I don't know of any reason why it shouldn't work regardless of which wire connects to which. I'm pretty sure it's just a resistor (no diodes or caps inside).

    writeup: MAFT Pro install for 7M-GE

    To the best of my knowledge there's still no one else running the MAFT Pro on the 7M-GE TCCS. I am still planning on setting up for speed density, but it's going to be a little while. Too many projects going on right now and I'd prefer to find a MAP sensor at a salvage yard ($5 versus $70)...

    How to Raise Secondary activation?

    Yeah, start with checking the vacuum lines, then test the VSV, then pull the upper intake manifold, clean it out real well and test the valve and the actuator. Chris89, there really shouldn't be a flat spot. My car pull fine at 4000 (granted I really don't remember how it was when the system...

    I might sell my soul for Prosport Peak and Hold gauges

    It's still probably not a bad idea to make sure they're wired up properly... the night mode is supposed to be dimmer than the day mode. If it's wired backwards it'd make the day time visibility worse. To check if the illumination is wired in properly go outside when it's dark and turn on the...

    some weird rotors we have here

    I imagine a steel band could be employed in much the same way that the rubber bands are, except for long term use. Naturally, it wouldn't dampen vibration as much.

    Rack N Pinion Rebuild

    I think they're usually around $250. As for other places to buy a rack from, there's always Toyota, but you won't be happy. ;) You could try some of the big online parts vendors, but I don't know if they give core discounts.

    Some ideas I've got (LEDs, washer stuff, etc) - give me your opinions!

    If you want to do the TEMS display, it uses LED die laminated to the board. Use a small razor blade to scrape them and the laminate from the PCB. Then I recommend you pre-tin the copper pads where you'll be soldering the new LEDs. You'll need a VERY steady hand to place the replacement LEDs...

    Some ideas I've got (LEDs, washer stuff, etc) - give me your opinions!

    FYI - The door's key ring uses a 12v LED. The column key ring is a bulb. The master window switch comes apart in a couple steps. First is pulling off the transparent nylon back side of the enclosure. Then you need to remove the two buttons, there are 4 screws that come out of the front of the...
