Or, did the really take you that long to shove a paper clip in your clutch?
No, seriously. Car has been out of commission for over a year now, just due to life being the torrential bitch that she is. I finally get time to swap the starter, get excited, turn the key, nothing... Well fuck. Not the starter, not the immobilizer, not the fuseable link, not any fuses, hell, let’s try the clutch safety switch *click*
Yeah, it still didn’t start. BUT that’s most likely due to the dead ass battery. New one is going in after payday, and that *should* solve my problem since the starter at least clicks now. Oh, and I have to either jump and tape the clutch switch out of the way, or buy a new one, and find an old 4runner with the clutch bypass switch and wire that in.
I swear to God one day I’m going to sell all 4 cars, suck it up, and buy 2 brand new ones. Until then, Saab needs a ton of work, MR2 needs suspension and AC (just the little things right?), 4runner needs to not die before 300k, and I also bought an 03 Taurus for $80 so I can flip it, it’s been sitting in a parking spot 40 minutes away since some enterprising genius jumped it backwards and now it needs an alternator and battery.

My 4th gen Civic had a paper clip jumper in the clutch safty switch. I found out about it one day when it wouldn’t start. I dgot a little scared, so I started looking under he dash to see if a fuse was blown, and then I noticed a little yellow connector, with a paper clip in one end... so I put he paper clip back into the other side, and secured it there with a zip tie. Boom, problem solved.

I mean eventually I’ll probably do it right and rig it to a switch like my 4runner has, but I’ll at least use a jumper in there, all taped down nicely until then.

I’ll buy the mr2, that looks mint. Plus tan interior?

Plus a lot of things. The seats are s2k seats, in tan leather. Those were a bitch to find

You either need custom rails or a seat pan swap. I did the cheap pan swap and had a friend fab up some spacers a bit. There are some very nice rails out there which, if I ever did it again, I would go that route.
