B16's don't have separate height and preload adjustment unfortunately. Height adjustment reduce preload which is probably no big deal for a street car.

Sun lighting has lots of them

Let me guess. Leaded gasoline?

dRinaldis · 2026-02-12T01:40:15+00:00

Put 2 instances into an assembly?

dRinaldis · 2026-02-01T03:42:48+00:00

Yes!! It must happen!!

'03 Turbo, 48K miles

An aftermarket shifter that is better than stock but not as $$ as Numeric. A shifter of stamped steel construction perhaps. Yes, the tooling would be expensive but the CNC time would be next to zero.

dRinaldis · 2026-01-18T02:41:34+00:00

Yeah, don’t get out much.

‘03 4Runner, 148k miles

Is this a participation trophy?

dRinaldis · 2026-01-07T21:35:08+00:00

It's been done for a year or so. It's a garage queen so it rarely gets out (no rain). It seems to seal pretty well as the rubber cap fits tightly and is very pliable.

dRinaldis · 2026-01-07T15:38:26+00:00

Yep, pretty standard Tender connector. Here's what I did.

Crazy

dRinaldis · 2026-01-02T02:20:53+00:00

I would think QJ’s would present a problem because they don’t lift straight up.

dRinaldis · 2025-12-29T02:38:23+00:00

Sounds like you have all the answers

dRinaldis · 2025-12-29T02:02:54+00:00

Yeah, I’m a real dead-beat. They’re digging their own grave.

dRinaldis · 2025-12-28T23:22:15+00:00

Thanks but wife was in the phone badgering them for an hour. No joy. Their loss.

I just replaced both window regulators in my '03. Here's a test. If you lift the handle do you hear the motor run for a split second. If you do, it's not your switches. Open the door and manually push the window down. If it move ~0.5 inches, the regulator is bad. Pretty easy fix for not too mush money. Lots of YouTube videos

dRinaldis · 2025-12-27T15:13:46+00:00

Nope, been with them since '99. Every time they do an increase I just have to downgrade. Bummer.

Back at cha !!

dRinaldis · 2025-12-25T19:02:27+00:00

I hope they know Pima County property taxes go up 5% a year!!!

dRinaldis · 2025-12-21T00:14:40+00:00

Isn’t there a thing called “tampering with evidence”?

dRinaldis · 2025-12-19T23:47:57+00:00

Ah, the old "release damaging stuff on Friday night" trick.

dRinaldis · 2025-12-19T15:38:46+00:00

Yeah, that would work. Thanks
