wussbags. 100db+ all the way :D

which is interesting, because alot of s13 guys upgrade to FD rx7 brakes by swapping the LCA and strut don't they?

i don't agree with riveting rust repair panels in, that's as dodgy as bog. be careful welding if it's in the roof skin, quench your weld the whole time so you don't warp the rest of the thin roof panel

what does michael jackson like about twenty-four year-olds? there's twenty of them!!! :D

yeah that's right, it's a common upgrade, check toymods forum. to do that upgrade properly you need custom shocks, if you can't do it yourself, expent about a grand or more. there is also a toymods tech article about using cressida struts in a corolla

cool, no more taking the bus :D

you get the bearing cover off with a flathead screwdriver and a hammer

hahahahaha :D

what's the difference between Michael Jackson and pimples? pimples wait until you're 15 before they come on your face how do you know it's bedtime at neverland ranch? the big hand touches the little hand

hahaha i'll use that :D

so you are using a voltage regulator. i meant you can't hook up E N F or whatever the alternator poles are to the loom's DF B D, in any order at all. you need the voltage regulator between them. which you have so yeah, sounds like you might have fried your v-reg. i don't know if others work, but i would assume so. usually alternators are interchangeable as long as the terminals are all the same, so i would assume vregs are the same that is IF you can find one, later model cars usually had regulators internal to the alternator. perhaps an auto parts shop can sell you an aftermarket one to suit, rather than trying to adapt something second hand from another vehicle? good luck, let us know now you go

what year is your car? it's got round headlights so it's an early one yeah?

and if it's a denso alternator, you do have the external regulator right? you can't just plug E N F or whatever they are they are into D+ DF D- B of the loom

and it's not from a hiace van :D i'll check out a corona gearbox and rx7 gearbox on the weeknd for you if i can

yet another excellent quote from you btw, you crack me up :D keep up the good work

your swear filter should really work hey :D

and if you hooked it up wrong, chances are you might have fried part of your loom, in which case you are going to have lots of fun unwrapping 20+ yearold electrical tape to test the wire and replace it :D

the B pole is the high current charge pole, D+ is low current charge. the other two (usually dynamo field and d-) are how the voltage regulator tells how much voltage the rest of the loom (or specifically, the battery) is getting. so with just the B pole connected, part of your loom isn't getting charge voltage and your regulator isn't being told to allow voltage to leave the alternator you need all the wires hooked up hey

interesting, learn something new every day :D good point that ke30nuts ke30s also have denso alternators, ke55s have bosch ones, so likely they have a different loom plug for the charge system. it's not hard to change over though anyway

haha you'd be surprised. even moreso if you have an MR2 item. if you have the option to use a 4 wire generic bosch ignitor, go for that. it'll cost you though. other options are 2tg or scorpion or rx7

and the three times joke is a blonde joke. when you can come up with an original non-recycled joke against aussies that is genuinely funny, come back to us kiwis don't even have aussie jokes, you have maoris as your traditional object of racial ridicule, like we have coons. you guys just happen to be there for easy pickings too :D

i don't think anyone should post the C word around here anymore hey :D keep up the good work guys

it certainly doesn't have traction

did you change the timing to suit? if i was stingy enough to run regular ULP in my corolla, i'd be setting the timing to 5 or 6 degrees

i made a mess
