Nothing is ever simple when I do it. Lol. The picture below shows some wiring, and a clip I've never come across before. I don't know how to undo the clip and I'm not even sure what the wiring is for.
Has anyone had these clips and have some tips for undoing them without breaking things?

I've tried searching but I couldn't find anything related.
Cheers guys

Also, the new shocks I have I believe are for a supra (supplied when I bought the car) and they don't seem to have anywhere for a wire to run through the top of the thread as the current ones do.

Nah, no airbags. I think its just a basic a 93 model pov pack TT. No sub, no cd stacker, no traction control, cloth seats.
I've been told the wiring would be for TEMS and that I could still use the supra shock and just leave the wiring clip undone, I've read that the TEMS in twin turbo models doesn't make it feel much different anyway.

Would unplugging it and leaving it in order to install the supra shocks be a bad idea? I don't know if it would throw up an error code either.

Wellll it's done. Supra shocks in, TEMS disconnected, and my car no longer feels like an uncontrollable monster. :-)

Did you need a spring compressor?

Yeah, I used spring compressors. Safety first. Lol. Last thing I wanted to do was shoot my face off with the springs.

Was also pleased to find that leaving the tems disconnected didn't throw up an error code. :-)
