    Where's the best place to buy LED's?

    ^^^ I couldn't agree more. Radio Shack sux. I tend to favor DigiKey, but Mouser and All Electronics aren't bad at all either. But if you're buying more than 100 you can't beat those guys from Hong Kong on Ebay... granted I usually go through ebay for smd sizes. EDIT: I suppose at this point...

    Where's the best place to buy LED's?

    Or, if anyone wants I can email you a copy of a PDF with a good artice on building your own... then just buy the LED's in bulk off ebay, a few diodes and a resistors and you're set. You also need soldering skills and a dremel helps.

    Advantage Using GE pistons on GTE Engine?

    Before someone else chimes in on this: The GE doesn't have oil squirters either.... but, IIRC neither did the Group A turbos.

    Car that runs on distilled water?

    True, using a simple electrode to split H2O is terribly inefficient when using a car's alternator (current technology anyway). From the sound of it they're using some sort of catalyzing agent. It's a great idea, but it's not a new one. If they prove this unit's effciency I'll be all over...

    Pssst. Look what I got done for 50$!

    At least swap out your filter with a high lfow OEM replacement. AFAIK, on an N/A the snorkel isn't really much of a bottleneck, it's the filter. You probably haven't increased your airflow much, just opened it to more hot air. On another note: Can anyone tell me what that hose, I mentioned in...

    Door lock stuck

    Oh, the dustcap on the cylinder? Well, they are replacable. I'd try using a jewler's screwdriver to reach in on the side opposite the hinge and pry it open. It the little door bent? I'd pull off the door panel, take the lock cylinder to a locksmith and have the dustcap & door replaced.

    Pssst. Look what I got done for 50$!

    It looks very nice. Definitely cleans things up a bit. I'm sure this has been asked before but, is there any noticable difference? I'm sure it'd look great with my Apexi regardless. On a side note, I just noticed something. There's a hose connected to the throttle body that I'm sure my...

    electrical problems, lights etc.

    Have you tried measuring your chassis against the battery's neg. terminal with a multimeter? Any trouble with the battery loosing power? A short in the dash harness is the only thing I can think of that *most* of your issues could have in common. The window switch, I'd bet is due to faulty...

    Kenwood MP-4028 (had to have something with a darker face.... I'm not liking all the chrome on most decks) Aux input for my handheld and/or laptop Kenwood 4" (cheap-ass) speakers in front Stock rear speakers (need to replace those soon) Infinity Basslink II Not the coolest system around...

    Mesh or no mesh?

    I like the mesh just for keeping the crap out. Mine's all flat black aluminum, it's not in there for show. Also, check the open area if you do decide to go with mesh. Most of the stuff you find out there has less than 50% open. I found some nice honeycomb patterned stuff I plan on replacing...

    First drive in my supra EVER.

    I understand how you feel. Driving's always been a bit of an escape for me, whether it was in my old Camaro, POS Escort, '93 MR2 or my MKIII.... but the MKIII is definitely the most enveloping experience. It's not in as good a shape as most and needs a TON of work, but it's by far my favorite...

    electrical problems, lights etc.

    Eh? What's that mean? By the way, I don't think these problems are related. While they do share a common chassis ground, there are other items which would also be out... I suppose it is a possibility though. Have you checked the wire harness behind the dash for shorts or disconnected...

    sun > hot interiors... electric tint?

    UV is creates the majority of the radiant heat, but not all of it. In regards to the LCD tinting, one of the biggest downfalls is its sensitivity to temperature. Get it too cold and it'll go solid black on ya. I've heard a lot of complaints about that in regards to its employment in...

    electrical problems, lights etc.

    Is your car a pre89? The two wire connector by the hazard switch is for the headlight sprayers which, I was under the impression, wasn't on 89+ MKIIIs. Have you tried jumping the passenger side window's wires? Could just be a faulty switch. I just tore mine apart and cleaned the contacts with...

    Clutch going out? Or something else?

    Yeah, to me as well. I just want to make sure that's it. There's nothing in the tranny which would slip is there?
