Thanks for publishing this information, Erik! What do you suppose the pins and cups are made of? I have a partial ignition lock cylinder from eBay and one cup and spring fell out of it. The cup is very mildly magnetic which makes me think it might be plated with nickel. And the worn end of...

Thanks for the update! Here are some puzzle pieces that might fit your puzzle: -Nice work using the ice water. There are also some newfangled electronic thermostats using thermistors which would probably be a significant upgrade over the old mechanical type. You'd likely want to connect the...

These cars are tricky for acoustics. I’ve tried a few configurations. Pretty early on I moved my tweeters onto little stands which allow them to peek up over the dashboard rail. I like the sound stage I get from them. I experimented with putting them below the rail and facing forward so...

PM sent.

I had to finally look it up. It’s a jet of water with an abrasive in it, right? Like water jet cutting? How high does the pressure need to be? I was picturing needing to convert a pressure washer until I re-read your post and saw the dishwasher motor mentioned.

Thrilled to hear this! Hope tires are the only major damage….

I'm so happy to see another one making cold air! More cold air than mine, in fact, on account of me using the fake Sanden 508.

What a fantastic view from an impossible vantage. Thanks for doing this Erik!

Is that the bearing pressed into the third (rear) section of the case, by the output flange?

Amazonasgrün is the coupe color that’s closest to your picture I think. I don’t think it has a large fan following but I do get compliments on it occasionally! It wasn’t offered on early coupes.

Fantastic. It looks to be welded in in two or three places, maybe? I see it has a hole in it for access of some kind but I don't expect I'll be able to vacuum any trapped sand out through it.

You're right, Steve. Looking again at my own picture, I think it is present on my car but it has the same rubberized coating on it as the rest of everything so it's hard to see. TomHom's photos are excellent and I can see that there is quite a bit of space that I did NOT clean out during my...

Whoa. Those are cool.

Hi Thomas. Here is what that aft mud panel would look like if you bought it (and its corresponding rubber strip) today and installed them. I opted to try them out because I am on a quest to reduce wind and road noise. They absolutely are not tall enough to keep sand from going behind them. I...

This is fishing for clues here but try retorqueing all six bolts involved with the drive shaft and flex disk to see if the sound or vibration changes. If one has loosened even a little the vibration would appear at around 30 MPH in my experience.

Sending PM!..

I used a separate fitting with a different switch port on it for my trinary switch. That in turn connected to my receiver / dryer.

For what it's worth I used the Four Seasons 33564 receiver/dryer. Disregard if you don't plan to use #6 size o-ring fittings in that location. It's a good fit behind the right headlight. It has a high pressure blow-off valve on it (nice) and a service port that you can keep capped. And a...

I think this is an excellent idea. Obviously the air conditioning in our cars was an optional add-on so there is a lot of redundancy in having a cooling unit side-by-side with a heating unit. The biggest gains to combining the two would come from: -Using one large blower for heating OR...

Heh yep! In fact if I caught you putting a used, dingy, or Toyota part that fantastic restoration of yours I would personally come and confiscate it. Take my comment as bemusement that some random seal works better than the official part. If the official one gets a redesign it ought to have...
