Inside quarter panel from Wit's End. This was installed, but not drilled. It has some scuffs from being installed (you will curse a lot when you do this!), but they will be hidden once installed.
It's a bit cumbersome to ship, but if they are no local buyers in the SF Bay Area, I'll ship it at...
It was this one:
Ironically, I just took this off a week ago. The foam layer under the foil on the Dynamat is not closed cell and it soaks up water like crazy. It also does nothing for sound.
I found a decent price at a local dealer (Steven's Creek Toyota, for those in the bay area) that I...
I'll get some measurements and be more methodical in tracking it, but in my mind it's got to be either 1) weird air flow, maybe due to the under hood dynamat pad, 2) brake lines getting hot and heating up the MC and/or ABS or 3) the AC line running along the fender, or 4) totally normal and I...
The brakes are great, stops like a boss and there is no pulling or drag. The hubs on the outside don't feel warm, but I can confirm once i get an IR thermo.
It's not a burning brake smell. I've found some threads on the mystery smell before, but no luck on what ever caused it.
It's a 96.
I'll get an IR thermometer and do some more detective work. Sounds like there is nothing obvious in this area I'm missing. I am certainly perplexed by it.
I'm not going to burn myself, but it doesn't seem normal. I fist noticed because I felt the heat radiating from the area when I walked by, but I don't have way to measure it.
It's more like, why is this the only hot spot? Every other area, on both fenders, is cool. If anything, I would expect...
I'm noticing that the area around the brake master cylinder is quite hot after a few miles of driving, especially the upper part of the fender where it meets the hood. I have an under the hood insulator so I can't tell if that area would be hot too, or if it's more fender related.
I can't...
Interesting. I did replace the ECT sensor, so I can rule that out.
I haven't touched the TPS because I'm a little unsure of how to apply vacuum according to the FSM and to verify it is set properly. Using my ODB2 scanner the TPS value usually shows up around 11% at idle. I did find a thread...
