it does have a floor switch. On my first MGA I spent half a day and learned all sorts of new cuss words trying to wire it. Obviously you are upside down and have your head in the footwell for a while. Very glad I am paying the specialty garage to put new harness in the current MGA
Was just going to post this. 5 is killing the players and they expect a lot more wind later on. If you haven't been watching the hole position is just brutal. I have seen at least 5 pros with a 25 footer below the hole - leave it 10 feet away. They just showed that it is currently the hardest hole so far and again the wind is not a big factor yet
They don't rust but they do rot. My first MGA let me know that in grad school. Coming up to red light with a huge puddle of water in the lane. Leg was straight to depress clutch. Water came thru the gap and straight up the pant leg - almost to the crotch. That will wake you up in a hurry
Getting real close to finish line. The carpet is in. They also let me know that transmission parts finally showed up and the rebuilt transmission is perfect. We are still waiting for what is called the front cockpit rail. It runs on the top of the dash. Hopefully soon and then it is finished. The rail is backordered howsoever. Those seats are the ones we had made in 1980 and still look good.
No idea if they did this on that generation of Tacoma but it is pretty common in Toyota and others. See if they put a transmission cooler in radiator. It's common and works until one of the line fails. You then get the strawberry milkshake and a new transmission. Easy fix is to replace with a new radiator and trnasmission hoses before it happen, Usually ten years but at least check. Also unless you have records then just do the brake fluid.
Transfers and differentials are very easy. just pull the fill plug FIRST... Only issue was the village idiot that designed the fill plug on the front diff of my 01 4Runner. Einstein used a plug with hex insert instead of a six sided plug. Almost impossible to get enough space to pull down and remove it since it was hidden by frame. Had to get it way up on ramps first.
Good grief - some of us are old enough to remember when the compact pickups topped out at about 100HP. Anything today is about 3x that so unless you plan on towing a huge amount - get the Tacoma. Also get off my yard
I was reading about that chase. Legendary Jim Hickman drove it.He also was the driver of black Charger in Bullitt. The article mentioned that the director did not have new York's permission to film a chase but did it anyway. Wow
Not easily. IIRC they did not fire all of them since some did not walk out. They backfilled with military controllers. I remember reading somewhere that it took over 2 years to get new ones out the pipeline.
According to my yellow health card I got MMR in 2012 before India. I had to look it up so I can state that there was no molten lead feeling since i did not recall getting it until this week
Correct. Not sure when it ended but 1980 (Magic vs Doctor J) definitely was a 10:30 showing for the final game. Took Bird and Magic entering the NBA to get finals to prime time
