    stupid... stupid question

    Naturally, no matter what type of connection you're using you want to keep the splices as minimal as possible.

    Electric Radiator Fan, Yes or No?

    On an N/A it'd probably make a bigger difference than it would for a turbo engine, though. It can be done relatively inexpensively if you go with a used fan(s). The primary issue most seem to some up with is wiring failure and no warning system to let you know the fan's not operational. It...

    Dual outlet vs. single outlet... which is quieter and which has a cleaner sound?

    Good to hear. I'm looking forward to getting these installed, I'm still looking for a tip though.

    writeup: MAFT Pro install for 7M-GE

    Well, it wasn't cheap. I did get the MAFT Pro while it was either on sale or before a price increase... can't recall which, just that I did get it for less than it runs now. But, it's all pretty easy to add up. MAFT Pro - $399.99 LS-1 3.5" MAF - $79.99 (or, you could probably pickup a used...

    Solder shouldn't add any noticable resistance... unless you can't solder worth a damn and you're using very old wire. ;) Are the unions clean and solid junctions?

    Jump? Would you mind be a little more specific as to the details?

    writeup: MAFT Pro install for 7M-GE

    AFAIK, the current MAFT Pro software doesn't support a Toyota MAF... unless you're referring to the GTE's AFM. The GTE's AFM should be doable. I seriously believe that MAP on an N/A is overkill. Hell even for an N/A-T the LS-1 MAF is overkill. I wasn't out for the WOW factor, just getting...

    Dual outlet vs. single outlet... which is quieter and which has a cleaner sound?

    Thanks, I didn't even think of using a twin tip.... I did end up ordering a single outlet because I couldn't find a dual in my price range. I still over extended myself a bit, but I've gotta get a muffler back on my car ASAP... cops are circling me like sharks. I'm sure a twin tip doesn't...

    wrong indiglo gauges should i use?

    Sure, if you can find one the right size. This is far more than Mr. Hatter needs to worry about. The simplest solution for him would be dropping in a 160MPH guage from another MKIII and not having to worry about gearing or recalibration. As for the displayed mileage on the new guage, that's...

    wrong indiglo gauges should i use?

    D'oh!!! Gotcha... that too! Yeah, the mileage recorded will be off if you switch guages. If you recalibrate for a different face the odometer's reading will be off, as in one mile won't represent one actual mile of travel.

    wrong indiglo gauges should i use?

    WTF?! How is that even remotely helpful? FYI - You can swap one MA70 speedo for another and they'll still be accurate. When you change the diff or transmission gearing you need to change the speedometer sending gear which is in the transmission housing. The speedometer can be calibrated to...

    wrong indiglo gauges should i use?

    You don't need to calibrate the speedo if you're just swapping it out for a 160MPH speedo. You might be able to recalibrate the 150MPH speedo, but your odometer and trip meter will be off.

    any people in COLORADO??

    I'm buying a muffler and resonator online. Does anyone know a shop where I can get mandrel bent pipe and hangers welded on in the Denver area? Any chance I'm going to be able to get this done for between $100 and $150? I'm looking for 3" (since I'm planning on going turbo in the next year, and...

    reseting the odometer

    Actually, I didn't have to disassemble it or drill any holes. Like I said, it's kinda scary how easy it was.

    Need Serious Advice ( semi tempted to sell mk3)

    When the Clutch master cyl. is leaking the fluid usually ends up on the inside of the fire wall running down from just below where the clutch pedal mounts. Check there and feel to see if the carpet in the driver's side footwell feel oily. Welcome to the community!

    reseting the odometer

    Okay, seriously though... I just pulled a speedo out of one of my spare clusters and DAMN! If you know exactly where to press it takes seconds to zero one of these out. Makes me glad I don't only look at mileage when buying a used car.... that's scary.

    reseting the odometer

    Oh wait I've got an even better idea. Just gut the odometer and tape a black and white print from your inkjet with "0000000" in the vacant opening!

    wrong indiglo gauges should i use?

    He has an aftermarket speedo? I think I may have missed something. If he's got the stock guages with the 150MPH speedo, he can just swap in a stock 160MPH guage from another Supra and put the new face on that... they're plug and play.

    wrong indiglo gauges should i use?

    The guages are different. If you're familiar with the local juck yard you could just go look for one there. I got mine for about $10 (the entire cluster).

    I like it. Count me in! I usually don't take my MAFT Pro out of the car unless it's going to be parked for more than a couple hours. EDIT: Anyway to make it a learned code? (I know it's possible, just not if you're willing) ;) . EDIT 2: Oh, better yet... set it up so that the...
