My brother and I are working on my friends celica, I'm coming to you guys because... well you know your shit! It will shift into gear when the car is off. When it is on, it will not go in. It was leaking fluid below the clutch pedal and from the slave cylinder. Went ahead and replaced the slave...

I tried to find an exploded diagram in the tsrm, but I couldn't find it. I believe this hose goes from the power steering pump to the rack on the right side. I've got an oil leak right where this hard line and hose meet next to the oil filter, should there be a hose clamp here? Thanks in...

I thought I remembered seeing a full write-up for the led climate control mod. I can't find it anywhere! Thanks, Alex

I found a Dodge Omni GLH-Turbo for sale. It's got 90,000 original miles and the engine was rebuilt at 70k. Super straight body and the interior looked really good too. Wants $1500. What do you guys think of these? I know there is talk of the GLHS (shelbys take on the GLH) doing 0-60 in 6...

I believe I'm just getting compression surge. I hear that famous flutter regardless of boost. I have an all stock setup except I have an ssqv, which came on the car. I was going to recirculate it but all of a sudden its not functioning correctly. From what I've read it is probably a bad vacuum...

there is a hose directly behind the exhaust manifold that began leaking antifreeze. I just replaced my turbo and drove 60 miles. Went to drive back and this started. What is this hose from? What caused this? Do i have bigger problems? Thanks

Just replaced my turbo, got all new gaskets and the 90 degree oil pipe is leaking. I replaced that gasket before and it stopped leaking for a few months and then started again. TSRM calls for 9 ft-lb on those nuts which sounds insanely low to me. I guess I will try and get a ratchet in there...

Hey guys, i'm trying to take off my throttle body so i can calibrate my tps. I have been searching for a while but cant find instructions on how to disconnect the throttle setup. Just the thread on removing the throttle body after that point...

All of a sudden my window stopped rolling down. Just the drivers side. I hit the switch and it makes noise as it tries to roll down or up, but doesn't actually move. I'll give this a shot, http://www.mkiiitech.com/forum/showthread.php?p=7710#post7710 but wondered if there's something simpler...

Hey all, I'm taking a simple engineering class. The final was to tear apart a little briggs and stratton 5 horse motor and put it back together. Finished that and need to answer a bunch of questions for a write-up. The only question I don't know and can't find for the life of me, is "Why does...

I took my ssqv apart and don't see a way to remove the 'fin' at the end of the casing. I am planning on recirculating it but I don't see how the fitting will fit in there. How does it come out?

Hey guys, When I bought my car it had an HKS atmospheric BOV. It would often die when going from a high rpm to idle in neutral. After posting on here, I was told to switch to the stock BOV and I wouldn't have this problem. I did that and haven't had any related issues. However, this weekend at...

What exactly am I going to need to buy to convert it to stock? I have the stock bov and I have one piece of the intercooler piping. Does the piping come in two pieces? Anything else I need to replace? Thanks in advance, Alex

Hey all, Lately I've been having some issues. Don't know a whole lot, so looking for your diagnosis. When I'm accelerating, more often in 3rd 4th and 5th, the RPM's will jump up a lot faster than they should, without the car accelerating as fast as it should. It's always when im boosting. And...

Hey all, when I bought her, the mechanism that allows the gas door to be released was broken. Cable is fine, its just the end plastic piece broke off. I can rig something to make this work, but once I do the door is not going to spring open. I don't even know what the spring is supposed to looks...

Hey guys, I replaced my heater resistor. I've replaced the climate control unit. Still only one speed. However, when I looked at the old resistor, the small and medium coils were broken but the high wasn't. Does that mean the only one I have working is high? Just seems like i don't have a lot of...

I bought a new blower motor resistor and I have no idea where it is to replace it. Everyone makes it sound real easy, just one screw and you're done. I'm looking behind the panel thats under the glovebox, above where the passengers feet would be. Not seeing it. Help?

I'm leaking oil pretty bad. Figured out its coming from a metal pipe leading to the turbo (or from the turbo). I hosed it off and didn't see any leaks so I just got a new gasket. Should be a pretty easy job but I haven't had a ton of experience doing work myself, any tips or advice for a noob?
