Yes, anyone can powder coat at home. :approve: If you have any questions let me know. I also post on Eastwood's site under the name TechnicalHelp4U. At this time, I do not powdercoat for others - but will soon be coating smaller parts up to 3' here in Indiana inexpensively and also offer on...

Yes, me too. For under 1K us I would spring for a supercharger manifold. Possibly I can find a local fab shop to rework my oem one. I have a spare.

:approve: Yes, me too. Waiting for warmer weather to pull parts of the spare 1UZ and go down that path.

Probably the bulbs. You need to solder in new ones. A real PITA. Be careful with the LCD - do not bend it back to get to the bulbs - desolder it. Peter

Ok. I will check some schematics tonight. Does your tilt away function work? Peter

Yep, you have that tiny little eeprom inside. Sorry buddy, those keys are worthless now.... :( It is really goofy how they did that on the older ones. I guess the flash technology just wasn't there to reflash the chips easily (or inexpensively). Peter

Does the original door lock remote work? Is the remote switch on? The memory function is tied into this and the OEM RKE needs to be working for this to work. Peter

What year lex? I belive the cut off is 94/95. Before that you need the little eeprom chip inside the keyless brain to work with the original keys.

Sgnd You are keeping the OEM head unit? Then sure, the outputs from the OEM Head unit are low level and will work with the aftermarket amp fine.Use Sgnd for the speaker - (signal ground)

Awesome link. I have a friend (whom I've lost touch with, unfortunatly) who worked for Dana in the early 1990's. He would frequently rapid prototype various items for friends. His used some sort of a cellulose paper fiber with a binding 'glue'. The ABS process is neat and very...

Yes. It is very easy. Just follow the pinouts. Peter

Very nice! Reminds me of the first engine rebuild I did, back in 1984 on a 1974 BMW Bavaria with the I6 and dual carbs... ahhhh nostalgia. Good work!

Did you try sending a signal to those speakers up front? Let me know if you decide to dump that old amp. I've plan on dissecting some more of the sc electronics in the future. Peter

I have both sitting on an engine here in Terre Haute, IN. Sure we can work something out, but I won't have time to pull any parts off the engine until mid Jan. Peter

PS: Urethane is ok for underhood applications but Epoxy would be best. Anyway, that wrinkle is not a Urethane but either an epoxy or a polyester tgic free (technically a carboxyl polyester cured with Powderlink) and I was formulating with that chemistry back in the early 90's. It will work...
