I was considering the same thing. I picked up a pair of toyota mr2 turn signals which seemed to follow the bumper curve. But, I have not got around to cutting the bumper or even getting it off the car yet.

I had a similar problem. The engine fires up for about 1 second then immediately dies. Turned out to be that the computer was not completely snapped into its wiring harness connector.

Thanks for the compliment!

Powder coat and polished to get that look. Next on the 'to do' list:

Rebuilt 3.0L

Just finished rebuilding and installing this 3.0L Into an 85 GTV. Fired right up. The sweetest open exhaust sound!! Firmed up the rear engine mount and center driveshaft bearing housing with some black polyurethane. Picked up new 'Bosch type connectors" (8 for 15$) w/quick disconnect spring mec...

Apparently there was supposed to be an approximately 20 lb spring in the tensioner cylinder to begin with! I found a weak, maybe 3 lb, sping in the cylinder(someone else's rebuild?). At least there is more tension now.

If you are still in need of a wiring diagram, I have an original for an 85' GTV6(don't know if they are the same as 84'). It came in the back of the owner's manual and is pretty generic but helpful. I would have to photo copy it and mail it out as I don't have a scanner.

'Cigarette seals' . I was told the same thing by a vendor. My old ones were still flexible so I reused them, each in their respective groove with the addition of some high temp gasket sealer. They were still very tight.

Timing Belt Tensioner: New way to rebuild?

Thought I would try something different. Instead of changing to a new style spring tensioner or the manual set tensioner type, I decided to try this: All oil holes to and from tensioner are plugged. New timing belt. Solid threaded stud placed for center tensioner locking nut. Removed two allen screw...
