Re: Scorpion 738 alarm

I ended up replacing my alarm with a Falcon Predator Evo3 pager alarm as it was easier and cheaper then trying to find replacements for the Scorpion alarm.

Re: KN air filter connection question. Blue or black??

Blue connector should go to an idle up valve that is activated when there's extra electrical load like turning the fans or lights on, it raises revs by a couple hundred rpm. The cone like sensor goes into the back of the k&n filter. The non standard valve bolted on looks like a cold start idle c...

Re: MR2 mk1 OEM rear speaker alternatives

I use to run Infinity Kappa 3.5" rears and 4" front. Your never going to get decent low end from speakers that size so added an alpine swe-1000 after also having an alpine swd-1600.

Re: Air filter position/correct/change??

Cone filter direct to throttle body is the usual aftermarket way to go. There's plenty of cold air flow through the engine bay.

Re: Engine Does Not Tick Over When Hot

Another tip, when setting the idle with the idle screw make sure everything electrical including lights, blowers etc is turned off. Made this mistake before and revs kept dropping too low.

Re: For those with Koni Adjustables - what setting do you use?

I always found full hard to much for our roads. The ride was crashy and the rear would lift to much on bumps. I use to run them half way, kept the car flat while remaining comfortable.

Re: Mk1 - dash lights on when reving engine high...?

When mine did this it was the IC regulator on top of the alternator at fault which needed replacing.

Re: Clutch pedal sticking

Some say the float is for checking the level, some say it's to prevent bubbles in the fluid and some say it acts as a diaphragm blocking the surface of th fluid from absorbing water from the air.
