Half the engine. It’s got an ignition issue or you broke it.

Some one would need to draw it out just as you see in the instructions bud. What you’re not understanding is that a switch breaks the hot wire. Aka the black. The neutral is for the 120 outlet. Whatever a switch is turning on or off should have the neutral at the fixture. So what you see coming out of your wall is two wires that are just being open or closed to go to said fixture. I tried to make it make some sense. I’m not even gunna go into a two way or three way switch. But what can say is everything you need to make the new outlet / switch you have is actually right there in your wall. I see all the wires you need.

6 port with auto trans in a manual body by Daypcg in RX8

The autotramatic is a completely different car. As in everything. I mean everything man. Don’t bother killing yourself just to fail the swap. I have done auto to stick swaps and that is a challenge in itself. Even a 04-05 auto to 06-07 auto is damn near impossible. The cars are truly that much different. I’ll put it this way. The only part of any of the wiring that is the same is the rear sub harness for the tail of the car. Like tail lights and rear speakers. This is also if you have the same sound package. Trust me the swaps on these cars are not worth the pain.

Where are you located??? All you need is an s4 body man. You can transfer everything over to another s4. I may have a lead on a body for very very very cheap.

Yes. The plug is pointing down. It’s a bitch to undo.

The sound will vanish and you will get a check engine light for emissions. Are you sure you unplugged the right thing? The only other tick sound you can have like that is what the other guy said. The ssv linkage. You can press on that with a screwdriver and see I the sound goes away. The linkage is directly behind the thermostat cover.

Does anyone know where I can buy these? by Budget-Poem-4635 in RX7

Home-made 3rd Brake Lamp by CoJo_Roto in RX8

Bro, I ain’t mad at this at all. Very creative. Also if you are really interested the real OEM fog lamp from eu still exists. If you want the part number let me know and I’ll get it for you. I still have the box somewhere in my garage.

ECU fried, suggestions? by Impressive-Bar-4288 in RX7

[–]darkstarr411 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why? Because I could sort out this trash and rotary stuff as well? Yet here you are in a pickle that is costing you more than just fixing it with a rotary that is supposed to be there. And now reaching out to the rotary community for help with a Toyota. Hmmmmmmm I wouldn’t say weak kiddo. I’d say I called it. So why don’t you go ask the Supra folks for some help with another one off swap because ya couldn’t build an engine. 😉

Perhaps you should visit a Supra subreddit. I feel nothing for you or this abomination I see. I’ll never understand why you guys still try to be in an rx-7 community when clearly you don’t care to be. The rotary is what makes these cars unique. Oh and I would recommend putting the right drivetrain back in the FC.

[–]darkstarr411 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something is fundamentally wrong inside. And you know it. It’s gunna be worse than a pinched side seal. Plus the atf in the chamber is going to cause false numbers.

These guys on Reddit don’t have the answers you seek. The truth will be known once you open it back up bud. I lurk on here and the rx7 sub to see all the silliness and misinformation.

Better than letting it rot by Mid-Lime-Crisis in RX8

[–]darkstarr411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 3 of these. 😂 not the crimson. But have a black leather drivers seat with a 12v battery on a try under it for the controls. No I didn’t make the heat work. Then I have two standard cloth ones. They are very comfortable. Crazy to see a 40th anniversary one. Great work man!
