    Why is this engine so great?

    DOHC means Dual Overhead Camshafts. Camshafts are turned off the crankshaft via a belt or chain. The camshafts actuate the valves that let air in and out of the cylinders. The benefits to dual camshafts on a single cylinder bank are numerous, but basically boil down to better airflow in and...

    Eclipse Install Question "Phone Not Available"

    It's gotta have the model number written on it somewhere. Most are on the front face painted into the faceplate, or on a sticker on the back. How about this: ECLIPSE Operation Guide | Fujitsu Ten

    Eclipse Install Question "Phone Not Available"

    No matter how I say this, it's going to sound like I'm being an ass... Did you check the owners manual? I only say this because every single electronic product I've ever bought came with an owners manual... and in that manual, there is a section which explains all the trouble-codes the unit...

    T1814

    If it's the one I was just looking at for $150 buy-it-now +$20 shipping, then it's a fabulous deal. It has all the looks of a revamped T1809. It says it's a fit for 2007-2010 Scions, and all the other T18XX series from those years are all directly PnP for our vehicle... no reason to suspect...

    How-To component & coaxial install for dummies... 4th Gen

    The high's are vastly improved but the entire low-end is gone... and the speakers play at about half the volume of the stockers. I'm 99% sure it's due to the limitations of the stock HU. I'll be able to give a better report when I get the T1809 installed. But to be even clearer, I don't see...

    How-To component & coaxial install for dummies... 4th Gen

    Trying to do a full system on a budget. I've got a Scion T1809 HU that I'm waiting on RCA cables to install. Yesterday I got my speaker adapters so I decided to install those. MBQuart FSA216 components & FKA116 coaxials. Both are 6.5" and MB's budget line. I paid $105 shipped from Amazon for...

    Another 03 JBL headunit/subs install

    You can move your amp over to the drivers side of the box and tighten up your wiring a bit... probably cut 2feet out of your power cable. Every foot counts when running cable that long.

    Idiots guide to door panel removal 4th Gen

    For the love of sweet baby Jesus, can this please be the last thread on this subject! I was fed up by the laundry list of advice on how exactly the doors should come apart and what special tools you need and blah blah blah... so I took 30 minutes to go figure it out and here you go. Total...

    Recommended Cold Air Intake for 2006 4Runner Sport

    I know exactly what you're saying, especially considering how simple and visibly efficient the stock intake is in the 4Runner. It does not impress me either that the equally as simple plastic pipe/filter/shield setups of the aftermarket are $300+. Considering that my V6 2wd is plenty powerful...

    Warranty- aftermarket parts

    I don't understand? I didn't really give any advice. Advice would suggest that I recommend a particular course of action to you... and I don't. All I did was clear up some bad (although not incorrect) advice in the previous post. I even gave you the name of the law your were mentioning and how...

    Warranty- aftermarket parts

    Oh really? Don't forget to mention that you have to actually sue the dealership and prove your case in court. The Magnuson-Moss Act is a nice idea, but in reality is completely useless. Telling people that the dealership has to "prove" that their part was at fault means they have to prove it...

    Clear up this speaker dilemna for me!

    Nothing you listen to in a store will sound the same mounted in your vehicle connected to your headunit. Auditioning in a store tells you nothing. In the end, you have to take the collective word of other people who have gone down the road before you and buy. Without the ability to listen to...
