The engineers who developed your engine (any engine really) specifically designed them to run at an 'optimum temp range' that is percisely the range which your 50/50 coolant operates in. Ask any 80 series guy who knows the engine code of the motor under thier hood about how important it is for...

Life update: I broke my thumb on the ride out of the dealership with the bike which was sweet. Bike sat at Triumph for about 10 months waiting for a new gauge cluster (which is also the ECU). Got it back and have been upgrading it to prepare for a mini BDR outside of Scottsdale in April...

Can someone please post up the pages with the EWD for the turn signal circuit? 2008 LC I’ve been trying to download the master FSM file but keep having issues.

That is exactly where I took my initial inspiration from, my old e38 740iL had amber downlights that were awesome. I've since added what I call 'concealed source downcast cabin lighting' to my e30 touring by drilling some holes into my rearview mirror and mounting a couple of recessed 5mm red...

Here are some photos showing the shield with the switchable White - Red LED mod from @Outsane Note that I placed white paper label dots over the Red LEDs. These act as ND filters to reduce the output of the red LEDs. I stacked the labels until I achieved the lower luminosity output (I wanted the...

Sure am, send me a PM with your address.

@Romer, can you add a how-to section in the OP? Things like: 1. Car Model /AC passcode: 8861 2. Factory Settings Passcode: ???? 3. How to change the location on the home screen (mine shows Shenzhen China no matter how many times I try to change it) 4. How to change / add wallpapers etc I had...

If you end up scanning those pages in, DM me, I'd be happy to add them to my 93-94 FSM in the resources section.

Tbh you can just give it a good “uhhhg” on a 3/8 drive manual ratchet and you’ll be fine. Just make sure you’ve got. Good new o ring in place with a bit of ac compressor lube smeared around it. I’d bet $100 it’ll seal fine. Just keep power tools away from it.

Hasn’t…. They are close enough to work but still different since the 93-94 was r12 but I’ve never heard issues with people just dumping r134a in place of the r12. As long as there is compressor lubricant in the system (which is needed in both systems) I did find the 93-94 ac section once upon...

Woosh of air out or in? The case is designed to be under vacuum at idle, the intake manifold sucks air out of the case through the PCV valve. If you open the oil, cap and air rushes in, you’ve created a massive vacuum leak for the engine which will cause it to almost stall. This is normal...

And I bought and picked up the first Triumph Scrambler 400x in colorado

More non-land cruiser content, but tbh I use this thread to document all my motor vehicle adventures, IMO they are all linked, so if you don't like it then meh. I replaced the rotors with cross-drilled units, and semi-organic pads, then I bled the whole system on the TL. Also, I replaced the...

The camry's been a good steed, however the opportunity arrose to upgrade so that's how this 2007 TL ended up in my possession.

You are not the only genius to 3 link an 80. If you are all about design and development then you ought to know better and support those who are trying. Because I don't see you posting anything about a production turbo kit built to what you imagine it could be.
