Hey all, I'm rebuilding my engine and need new wrist pins for the lower compression pistons I'm installing. My local dealership just told me it's going to take at least a week to get them! :3d_frown: I figured others must have been through this but I can't find anything in a search...

Hey all, I'm replacing my HG after it started leaking. So while cleaning up the head I had it inverted and was rotating the cam to get the valves out of the way when i heard a delicate, metallic *plink* two times. Given that I wasn't listening for it I'm not sure of where it came from but the...

I've got a contender: (From another site) Won't even pay the $1.20 the dealership would probably want after a small discount of the list $1.80 for a new one... what's worse is he won't even pay shipping for one! I mean, WOW!!!! MKIII owner of course. :3d_frown: There's a WTB thread too:

So I'm sitting at a traffic light about to pull onto HWY285 and I see a slightly battered, white MKIII with a CF hood... no, wait, it's just a black hood.... lol! Anyway, so this guy moves over and pulls in behind the truck that's behind me. I'm thinking great! a little fun on the highway, this...

So I've been thinking I'd really like to get an eccentric throttle cable pulley for my TB. I don't know if anyone makes one already or if I'd have to get one fabbed. My low throttle angle responsiveness is just too sensitive for my tastes. So, the questions that remain are: Does anyone...

Well, I wasn't going to post anything, but I owe having a place to work, invaluable assistance and excellent moral support to one guy here I am. I spent the last two weeks working with SupraRX7Nut on replacing my heater core, rewiring some stuff, adding an oil cooling system AND adding a...

Well, just finished a LOT of work on my car with the help of SupraRX7Nut... Thanks Andy! Heater core, N/A-T, alarm rewire, oil cooler and thermostat install and other small things. I picked the car up from Sparky's awesome, huge garage last night. I ran the car to make sure nothing was...

Hey, I've got a GTE here with a Turbonetics upgraded turbo. It's got a dual reference wastegate (NOT a poppet though, it pushes open not pull). Anyone here able to tell me real quick how this is plumbed? Do I just plumb the outer to the manifold and leave the inner open on a filter? I need to...

Ok, so I'm on my way to work this morning and I get on the highway. All of the sudden I notice smoke billowing out of the passenger side heater vent. It's not coming out of any of the other. It's not horribly dense, about like a freshly puffed on cigar. It only lasts about 30 seconds and it's...

I need to make an adjustment to my LC-1's setting. I just need to change the response rate. When I do that do I have to recalibrate? I seem to recall it asking you to calibrate whenever you try to program in new settings. I'm nowhere that I can remove the sensor for a calibration.

I've been looking around and can't find any info on this. I need to swap out my PS cooler as it's in the way of the oil cooler I want to install. The GE oil cooler jumps across the gap between the bumper support and the rad (and A/C condenser). I need to place my oil cooler between where the...

Well, I know that some parts fit our cars or can be made to fit with minimal effort... does anyone know of a model with compatible window regulator tracks? Such as perhaps older Celicas. Feel feel free to use this thread to compile other OEM Toyota parts which are compatible with our cars as...

Hey everyone, In response to the assorted PM's I've been receiving and the troubleshooting posts which have confused the writeup thread I'm creating this space for ALL questions, comments and problems. This will give those of us who are using this hardware and those interested ONE place to...

Hey, I've posted this over at FullThrottle too, but figured it wouldn't hurt to see if anyone here had this issue.

Hey Gals and Guys, Working on something here and I need two good pics, preferably shot at the same angle and distance so they can be built into an animated GIF. I need one pis of the CEL while lit and one while off. Doesn't have to have all of the dash in the pic, but a couple inches of the...

I'm at work and I don't have a clock here to check this. I need to know which circuit the following pins on the back of the clock connect to (they're labeled on the PCB the wiring harness connects to inside the clock): G - I believe this is the Ground (pin 4 in the TEWD) L - Perhaps the...

Okay, this little component can be a major bugger to deal with in a number of circumstances. I may do a writeup on rebuiling them, but for now lets start with covering the stock values and modifying it to work with lighting that's different than stock. There are two resistors which set the...

I'm sure I'm not the only person who would like to be able to retract their headlights with the push of a button. You know, for one reason of another you turned on your headlights, but now you want them down with the markers and possibly fogs still on? From reading the troubleshooting tips here...

Hey guys, I need some pics of the MKIII with OEM wiper blades mounted on the arms... not any wipers using adapters. I need pics from a couple different angles. One looking down at the arm (so the blade is half covered by the arm) and one looking along the windshield (profile showing both blade...

Hey guys, I'm curious about something for a bit of an experiment. On the pre89 MKIII is the upper grill area a high pressure zone? Is the lower grill area higher pressure than the upper? I suspect that the bumper may create a considerable amount of turbulence, enough to disrupt the flow of...
