get the motors off the mkiii supra, it has individual motors that are small

Cleaned my floor mats. I dont think the PO every vacuumed. I had to have removed about 20 pounds of dirt.

Want to lighten up your 944? Hose down your floor mats!!

Those headlights are just temporary.

and i plan on replacing the hood latch with a new one....

right now im not even sure if i even plan on putting a hood on hah.

and as for the sucking air into the system question...
you CAN run a rine from the neck down to a bottle of some sort (ive seen people use beer/soda bottles even) then the coolant will collect in there. then when the car is parked and begins to cool down it will draw fluid from the bottle back into the neck.

I plan on just running it to the ground for now though.

havent even had any problems doing it that way on any of my other cars
