[QUOTE=Del91;37940549]I don't know what I did, but I got it started again, however...
The electrical system is all screwy now. WHEN the locks work, they lock and then unlock, the brake warning on the dash flashes, and the gauges all jump around. The windows work when they feel like it, and it runs like ass.
Fix two problems, only for more to show up. God damn it.

Oh, and it won't start unless I have jumpers attached.
There didn't seem to be any issues when I parked it. :([/QUOTE]
is your ground terminal loose or badly corroded or something.
Gauge in our supra work by pulse grounding, if they arent they'll go right to the top

They're tight, and clean.
Your gauges are jumping around? Like, actually flipping all around not giving a solid reading? If thats the case it sounds to me like a main power wire was burnt through/severed. Same thing happened to me on my Catalina, one of the main lines got burned up from a short and caused all sorts of mayhem.
I think it gets weird like that from drawing power from to many other places, fans/lights/ect.

check E1 and the body harness main ground
I'll check the ground, because I've got a feeling that's the issues.
I'll check the wires too.

They're normal until I hit the lock switches. then there is a bunch of clicking, my locks lock and then unlock, my battery gauge jumps around, my e brake warning light flashes.

Check the wiring that goes from between the driver door to the body, there might be a short in there. As far as that goes from there, I'm not sure. I'm unfamiliar with Supra wiring.
just clipped off the old thin positive terminal on my battery and put on a brass gold plated one. I swear my lights are even brighter. I haven't driven it to see if the power loss is still an issue, but we'll see

oh and my muffler's rattling like a motherfucker. what do? tighten it down?
I need a eagle 200amp alt
After 4 months of owning this car I finally got bothered to change the horn (it was fried). Never thought I needed it at first...
I might have just found out what's wrong with my car, again. Last time I thought it was the cracked PCV lines giving me a vacuum leak, but no, I just found out that my diverter valve doesn't hold pressure. Fingers crossed.
Brought my old block with a spun rod bearing back at home with my spare trans... Tore down to the block to make it easier to transport to the shed in the back of the house.

Finally completed my driver's chair.
took this good frame from a seat I got at the junkyard see, moved it over to the good foam and cover. greased it proper like, bolted it like yeah man. seat rails working proper. feels good to have a reclining driving chair with spring tension finally see. you take your working driving chair for granted until you buy a car with a rusted-out seat frame i tell ya m8
Drove the Corsica for a total of maybe ~30 miles today. Put a tire on it. Nothing unusual to report.
It is a fairly nice car though. I have no complaints about it, but also have nothing to really say about any bit of it. Very nuetral, good for a DD.

Bought new Tires last week.
They will be getting on tomorrow, bought Hankook Optimo 4S H730 4Season tires. Size: 195/50R15
Got them pretty cheap with like 55% discount. :P
You know m8 it was supposed to be a cheap beater I will drive to work and around my city yeah. But it became a full-blown sickness and affliction. Now here I am modding and fixing the crap out of it like a cunt.

main [B]chair[/B] fixed. dont care right now about fabrics, just the assembly is able to recline and hold myself up now! torqued to spec and everything. shifter boot is torn so I can smell the delicious transmission fluid fumes, gotta get that fixed. There's two boots, the smaller one that sits at the base of the shifter is so torn its eugh
I learned how to drive a manual!
Well shit, my rebuilt transmission is definitely junk, it just dumped a gallon of trans fluid when I tried to run it. That shithead who did the work better hope I never, ever see him again.
Time to pull it back out again and send it to someone who knows what they're doing.

What tranny is it? I know you did a 360 swap on whatever car you have, so I'm assuming 727 or A833 4 speed or some new transmission?

Yeah, just a basic 727. This is the one that wouldn't go into park when it was first installed, turned out the rod inside the case wasn't hooked up properly. At this point I'm not even going to try to drive it, I'm sure nothing is put together right.
At least I'm only out a case of beer for the "labor".
Sounds like a seal just needs thrown in. You did manage to check all the seals first, right?
if you do end up needing to get it rebuilt again, 727s arent all that expensive for a good one from the prices I've seen around here.
