I think if you cut them, your blinkers may go super fast. Not quite sure though.

[mkernz22]

it's one of the driving lights so i wouldn't think so, but i could just throw some electrical tape around them and cover them that way haha

[HectortheRican]

Yeahh you may be right lol. I just got the JDM harnesses for mine, so I didn't have to deal with it.

[mkernz22]

i have the jdm harness as well lol
do all the lights work fine? like when you have the driving lights on, do two light up and when you brake, do two light up?

If you have a JDM harness, you shouldn't have any extra lights. Just the two brake lights, the reverse light and the turn signal. And yeah, my two brake lights are on when I'm driving and they both light up more when I brake.

[mkernz22]

well i mean i have the jdm harness but im not using it lol
i threw my usdm one on the jdm tails and i put the jdm harness in a usdm set and put them in my shed so the bulbs wouldn't get damaged haha

[HectortheRican]

Switch NAO! Hahaha

[mkernz22]

lmaoo i mightt, but I have 3 sets of usdm harnesses so im mostlikely going to mod this one.
I'm going to do the orange piece delete on them over the winter.
I might add a green LED strip inside that housing when I do the delete and run it to a seperate switch so I can use it as a driving light. The same thing is going to happen with my highs and lows, I'm blacking them out on the inside and then putting a green LED strip in each and use them as driving lights

Oooh creative! I'm fine with the amber in mine for now, but once my car starts cleaning up, especially once I get new paint, I'll more than likely do the amber delete

[mkernz22]

looks good mike! keep up the good work bro!

[mkernz22]

So I've been putting everything into a Spread Sheet over the past month or so, that includes the parts car, parts I originally bought from the junkyard, steering wheel, rear splitters, tails, gauges LED, riser blocks, and the newest addition; the '94 celica. I spent a lot less than I actually thought I did. My total, so far, is about $1,200. I'm pretty shocked! lol It will go back down again once I part out the '94, but as for now that's my total.


Edit: No sh!t, haha I just realized that's how much I bought the car for in the first place lol

@Ted95: Thanks man!

my friend just told me today that im burning oil
and i have huge spots on my driveway
fml. i knew it was leaking a little before, but now it's really bad.
I'm guessing valve seals or i will have to get the cylinders re-honed and new piston rings.

Option A: Get it fixed.

Option B: Just keep throwing oil in and run that sh!t to the ground. Then swap in another 5s when I do the tranny swap.

[HectortheRican]

Just go get a quote for the price for the fix, and see what the average price of a low mileage, used 5S is lol

[mkernz22]

well i have another 5s in my parts car with 124k on it lol
i just hope this one lasts me until the spring

[HectortheRican]

Oh good! Well then you're set. You should take out that other 5S now and bore it, etc

[mkernz22]

i mean it still runs good, but I might get some new seals for it and then also do the timing belt, water pump, and etc so it will be all set when it goes it. I will have to swap over external parts to make it compatible with the obdi ecu

[presure2]

mike, just have steff set you up with timing belt side parts (she'll know what you need) and a rear main seal, pull the motor out of the other car, do those mantinence items, and install it. provided the parts are installed correctly, you should be go to go for another 100k lol.

[mkernz22]

Do you think I should do that stuff with the motor I have in right now? and save the other one I have or should I redo all that stuff on the extra one and swap that one in when I do the tranny swap?

[Ted95]

Do you think I should do that stuff with the motor I have in right now? and save the other one I have or should I redo all that stuff on the extra one and swap that one in when I do the tranny swap?

i would just do it to the other motor in the parts car. if you have another one just laying around just take it out and start cleaning it up, refresh parts and maybe some paint

could do a port/polish to the head too and make it a decent all motor 5s for what they r. idk just saying lol.
