Could be the rear diff mount, common on GT-Fours so probably also an issue on the GTT

Looks like you've made a solid effort to get it mapped out. What software did you use?

Looks like a slightly unusual connection on your starter solenoid? Are you using a transistor to drive it, and a relay to trigger the transistor?
Do you have diodes on all your relay supplies, or have you just ...

honestly, if you're going to go to the effort of a signficant rewire it's not all that smart to use a bunch of different wire types that aren't designed for automotive use. The major issues tend to be around insulation temperature ratings and resistance to common automotive fluids. Although in the ...

Not sure about the servicing to be honest, you could probably just ask a VW dealer what they charge - it's probably a flat rate. I think the service interval is more like 30k on it though! I think it's only been serviced around 2 or 3 times since we got it (has a reminder that pops up on the dash ...

We have a VW Amarok at work and it's been bloody good. It's a turbo diesel (I think a 2L?) manual 4WD and has about 100,000km on. We regularly use it for towing up to probably 2.5T and it handles it well. When we got it a few years ago as an ex demo and it had around 30k on the clock and I was ...

Why stainless? I used 1.6mm aluminium tube for all mine; lighter, easier to bend, swage, cut etc.

Some time around 2005ish a member "chickenman" (Toby?) put one in his ST170 Corona. Jeez that was a long time ago...

Cool, thanks for that

Just out of curiosity, what would it cost to bring in something like this?

Have you checked error codes? Biggest concern would be the possibility that the wires shorting has burned out the sensor supply in the ECU which is causing other sensors to not read correctly. The O2 sensor usually wouldn't prevent the engine running

Edit: just realised you said you haven't ...

I can probably repair the thread, depending on what the damage is... will do it for free if I can borrow it

Just wondering if anyone on here has a guard roller I can borrow? Fitted new guards to the MR2 and just want to roll them before I paint.

Alternatively - does anyone want to go halves/thirds/quarters on a guard roller? $145 on trademe

What's that diagram from? AW11s don't have a high/low fuel pump voltage system like the one shown in that image, so there is no fuel pump resistor (or fuel pump relay). As far as I know, such systems are mostly found on turbo cars, e.g. mr2 turbos and celica gtfours.

I just want to take this opportunity to say that it should be mandatory for every racing fan to attend Le Mans at least once. It's $&#$% rad!

Good find. Don't Mouser do free shipping if you spend over $100 or something?

According to wikipedia it was the previous generation than these which had the longitudinal fwd layout

IIRC, these had a horrendous longitudinal engine/front wheel drive layout that made them a huge prick to work on

Didn't think he did OEM toyota connectors?

Richard has a few odds & ends, especially since he's been doing stuff for the 86 series, but I asked him about it when I was doing my loom and he couldn't really help. I would love to know who supplies tweaked performance because as you say, $1 a pin ...

Sometimes the simplest answer is the correct one: The guy on the other forum is full of shit.

if i thought the $400 shorai with the decent Cold cranking amps was cost prohibitive, could i get away with say a 210CCA model, if i was only using it for race days? (2500cc motor) It won't compromise the ECU or the ignition spark etc would it?
So long as its the right voltage and has enough grunt ...
