My tension pulley broke and cracked my hood, and about a month later I left oil cap on top of crossfire intake and cracked it again about 8 inches closer to the windsheild, I was mad when pulley broke but the oil cap, oh well need to fix the hood anyway.

Heres one for ya, helped a buddy install his motor in his supra. Put the battery in and went to fire her up. For some strange reason there was no power to anything. That's when we noticed that his headlights were on, but in the closed position. We started checking fuses, and that is when we saw smoke coming from his ignition controller. I unhooked the battery and that is when I discovered, pos connected to neg and vice versa.
