Heater blowing cold

Here's what happened. The car has been working great heaterwice previously, but today as I left for work (it's freezing outside, -12 degrees celsius) I started the car, put on the heater and went to scrape the windows. Came back in the car and WOOT?! No warm air! Didn't mind it too much, figured tha...

Ok, got my SM working.. Solution: Don't know if this is the factory setup but in my car the minus cable from the battery runs directly to the end of the starter motor and from there is a link to the body of the motor [(there are two holes on the carb side of the motor) B14 that is]. The reason the t...

Is there a bearing or something that makes this happen? or is the body worn so badly? If anyone has ever checked this problem out, let me know, I think I'll tear it apart and see what can be done just cuz I'm curious.. There are SM's for 80euros here so I might as well buy me a spare one if my fixin...

Okay, after reading several old topics I put the car in 4th gear and rocked it a bit, then it started.. does this mean my starter motor is gone to s**t or what? If this is the case does anyone know if it's fixable?

Check the solenoid connection on the spare tire side of the carb.. the original connector is quite weak so it might be broken/loose. I doubt the whole connector is broken cuz the car wouldn't be running at all when the motor is still cold..

Yeah, there's a small "click" sometimes, but I think it comes from somewhere inside the dashboard, like a relay..

(Yet another) Starting fault topic

Heyall! Well, I've pretty much fixed everything there has been wrong with my motor and now this accures.... Need a little help... It has been working fine for the last few months, then it wouldn't start. There was this silent "kkrrrkkrssttksks" sound coming from the start motor and I figured it need...

Cheers bodejodel! The Plan is to make the car "carshow-proof", so it's going to be a lifetime project.. Luckily I've already found a quite cheap and cool bodykit to it and some other facelift stuff like clear front indicators.. I'm not sure what colour would fit my car the best, I'm still working on...

Sorry, I'm going to change the avatar as a VOLVO/supra instead of a SUPRA/volvo pic. :340: Yeah, I also think that these 86.5-93 supras have a quite timeless look to them (and IMHO they look a lot more "hostile" than for example the old nissan S13 200SX's) , but if I had the money, I'd prolly own an...
