    Alternator wiring problem

    What's your basis for the conclusion that there is no wiring issue? Have you tested for shorts? http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TEWD/MK3/

    Looking for fan options other than stock or electric...

    I know which fans you're talking about Reign... I'm pretty sure someone over on SF is running one, I just can't find the thread though. Something like this, right?

    Differential Question

    The car that happened to me on was a parts car. I didn't have to worry about that. I can't recall is if there was a way to access it once the diff. was out.

    Eliminating the Dist.

    It'd take some creativity, but anything's possible. I was actually musing about doing this earlier tonight myself. It's possible... how easily it can be done.. dunno, I haven't gotten that far. Switching over to the GTE electronics has it's downsides. While the package is all ready together...

    dash Light problem on my brothers car

    Regarding the keyhole light: Does the ring around the ignition cylinder light up when you get in the car? If so check the switch attached to the driver's side handle. Set your dome light so it comes on when the door is open. Close the door and lock the car. Pull up on the driver's side handle...

    OK, I need help, regarding my hatch window

    Sounds like a real nice pinch... Failing a local having something for you I'd look for a complete hatch at a junk yard. Swap the hatch for the time being. Couldn't tell you what it'll run, but around here I think I could get the whole deal for under $100.

    dash Light problem on my brothers car

    Have you made sure the ignition cylinder is turning all the way to the off position? It may be the ignition switch as the Acc position powers 15A Cig. and 7.5A Radio. Test those when the ignition is switched to the off position. If it's not the ignition switch: Since the clock only has 4...

    Rebuilding your own door locks with pictures

    I haven't had mine apart either. Typically there's something thrown in to make disassembly harder. When you pull it look for a push pin or rivet that'll need to be drilled out.

    any people in COLORADO??

    Colorado Auto & Parts usually has one or two. You missed the big MKIII meet they had there. seven or eight MKIII's a few months ago. Got me two SuperMonitors, spare switches, a VSV and door trim. They're not terribly far from me, but their hours suck. The pricing's quite fair though.

    Differential Question

    That's what I'm thinking... Alex - Is this your car you're pulling the diff from or a donor? If it's a donor you could try cutting the bolt, cutting the surrounding metal so you can get to the nut, or drilling a hole and hope that you can pack the area around the nut with enough JB Weld to...

    Starting issues

    After cleaning them put some dielectric grease on the contacts to help prevent oxidization and to keep moisture from getting back in there.

    Car Security/Keyless Entry Systems

    Clip, what strobes are you talking about? If you're going to be putting them on your car make very sure you know about any related legal implications in your area. --- How can a thief tell the difference? There are a number of ways. 1st, half of the keyless systems out there don't flash...

    Car Security/Keyless Entry Systems

    No sh!t... I've read a lot of similar responses to the suggestion of getting a full alarm system that say pretty much the same thing: "It's garaged (while I'm home)". What about when you're not home. It only takes a good thief a minute or two (some can do it much quicker) to get your car started...

    NEW ENGINE!!!

    http://www.angellabsllc.com/ Well, I'm intrigued... I've seen vaguely similar concepts before that turned out to be either too weak for the power the engine was trying to make or just too costly to build and in some cases very high maintenance. The opposing piston design (seen in some...

    Differential Question

    I vaguely remember that happening to me before, I think it was the same bolt. IIRC, the nut the bolt screws into is spot welded in place and had broken loose. If that's what I'm thinking of we had to cut the bolt. Sorry I can't be of more help.

    How Is The Radiator Support Attached?

    I've got one... now I just wish I had all the fun tools and somewhere to use them. My friend who originally bought the car was wonderful enough to throw in a TSRM, TEWD and MKIII Collision Repair Manual.... and a Haynes. I guess he was trying to make sure he had EVERYTHING covered.
