Then i have also heard of spots up there that are not as well known....

But i am soooo down for a canyon running trip!
I will have to hit up Angeles Crest before then and get familiar with it so i can run it efficiently if and when we run up there together....

Yup lots of cops.. Why? if memory serves me right during my riding days, almost every weekend there is one accident and fatalities. Cops are up there to set things straight. The upsetting part is, its bad for the responsible/experienced riders. I guess its really hard to say since even experienced riders takes a spill every now and then....

But yeah... just a cruise through the canyon shouldn't be a problem.

sweet dude it sounds pleasant...we will def have to try to work something out w/in the next few months!

Dorman: Received front brace today.. Question, How many mounting bolts does it suppose to come with? I recieved 2 long ones and 1 short one. I guess I was hoping to get 2 long and 4 short bolts?

honda_bar · 01-30-2009, 11:52 PM

how many holes are there?

Davis · 01-31-2009, 12:01 AM

The 2 long bolts are the ones where it mounts to the firewall and the other holes on the bar just use the strut nuts. I don't remember a short bolt. hmm.

I'm down for a cruise in the canyons.

And guys, I've found a buyer for Mindy..

masagsxr · 01-31-2009, 12:10 AM

Yeah i know where the 2 long bolts go.. was just hoping to get 4 small bolts that go to by the upper strut mount.. or at least another two small ones and I can reuse the original one it came with

Davis · 01-31-2009, 12:19 AM

I don't even remember how it looked like until you just posted. So yeah that short bolt goes on the driverside hole near the strut nuts and you should have another one from the stock bar and the passenger side should already have the bolt for the stock strut bar + powersteering bracket.

It was the rear strut bar that used the strut nuts. Woops.

xltinlx · 01-31-2009, 01:11 AM

I got the 96 jdm taillights today, but they didnt come with the center panel mounting brackets.. bummer. Has anyone done something else to mount the brackets? or should i just order them from toyota, another 25$ =[. Oh yeah, rewiring these lights are confusing, anyone wanna help or kinda walk me through it?

Davis · 01-31-2009, 01:12 AM

Hey Tin I can help you after class and since your car is sitting we can take as long as we want hehe.

Oh and I'll buy your old taillights.

xltinlx · 01-31-2009, 01:15 AM

Mark_Dorman · 01-31-2009, 01:34 AM

^Haha...sounds like a good deal for davis

Glad you got the bar figured out (mixxer and Davis).

I'm sorry to hear mindy will be going. I hope you found here a good home

We'll just have to get you into a hardtop in the future. Maybe once you're done with school you'll be making enough to afford another MKII.

I love Angeles Crest Hwy. I'm totally down for a cruise there. Can we wait thought till I get my car finished? Maybe april???

Davis · 01-31-2009, 01:35 AM

Beautiful isn't it? Yeah it's the song that's in the commercial for Prince of Persia 4.

Lol yeah Tin, lets do it!

Yeah I found her a good home.

Couldn't you use the stock harness and just plug it in on the tail light assembly? Thats what I was going to do when I install mine (eventually) and then I guess just extend the wire for the backup light for the center pannel.

honda_bar · 01-31-2009, 03:28 AM

Ji, go to bed, it's past your bed time

see you tomorrow! it's past mine 2

o6spdracer · 01-31-2009, 03:56 AM

your 91 harness won't fit to the 94 harness for the tail light. use your old stock harness on the tail light and replace the new harness on the 94 with it. does that make sense?

Mark_Dorman · 01-31-2009, 02:05 PM

You can modify the 91 harness to work with the 94's...at least some did it to my 92 so it should work. I'll show you how to do it...
