I used my parking break for the first time in years after parking. When I was about to drive, I released the parking break and stepped on the gas, something seemed locked up like the parking break was still on and when my friend went out to check it out, the rear passenger wheel won't move forward. We tried reverse, it was ok but there is a sqeaking sound like something is still halting it. Tried again to move forward and it is still locked. I live in Chicago by the way and weather here is freezing. I wonder if something froze or broke? Anyone have an idea what is wrong? Thanks guys. |

Wasup everyone! Haven't been here for a long time. I plan on changing my brake pads this summer, can someone point me to a link on how to change the breaks stickies? I know there's a search tool but it returns a lot of stuff, and I am lazy to look at them all. Thanks! appreciate it! |

If your just concerned about good sound and not serious racing, you can get cheap headers from ebay or sellers form this site. Changing mufflers actually help too, just don't get cannon sized ones... just regular 3 inch outlet would sound nice. |

QUOTE(joehernandez @ Apr 28, 2008 - 1:48 AM) [snapback]668821[/snapback] i went for black, but nowadays so many people have those black rims with the chrome lip. it also depends a lot on the style of rims! That's the reason too, i did not choose a chrome lip. Try gun metal. |

I had this kind of set up before, got my DTM from e-bay cheap 40 bucks. Mine had 2.25 inlet 3 in. outlet and it actually sounded decent, low and deep, plus i have an injen short ram intake. I have a magnaflow race series now and I noticed the more decrease in back pressure, celi can breathe more smoothly now when you step on the gas. It is up to you but if you want better performance, my advice is get a branded peformance muffler, coz I got what I paid for from getting the e-bay stainless steel one. |

Sup everyone! I am selling my rear and front splitters which i bought from dustin brown and doggy a year ago. The front passenger side got a small chip when I accidentally drove through a pile of hard snow, because the celi's too low. These are replicas by the way, and if you know how to fiber glass I think this is an easy fix. It is painted Toyota Red 3L2. I am looking for at least $200 shipped U.S. only. This would be a good summer project. I only accept PayPal. PM me for info. Pics: Here's the chip: ![]() Rear ![]() Front ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

QUOTE(sapperk @ Dec 29, 2007 - 2:05 PM) [snapback]626500[/snapback] i have the header but i was having issue getting the 3 bolts out of the lower pipe, rusted as ****. any suggestions on that. I didnt want to break the bolts until im sure the header will fit and work without burning up my engine compartment with more intense heat then the car already makes. pics and info appreciated. soak it overnight with pb blaster then use a deep socket wrench and breaker bar. turn the bolt slowly using the breaker bar. also make sure that the car is raised well and supported. |

QUOTE(jdg371 @ Dec 19, 2007 - 8:04 AM) [snapback]624115[/snapback] Your hardcore letting a friend borrow your car, I won't even let some drive my car. True, theres a line where the favors have to stop. I rarely do favors unless they give back. If the person simple talks to me for help everytime, I stay away and avoid them. Yeaaaah.... NO! I haven't yet and never will! |

I've been living in the US for about 4 1/2 years now and migrating from the Philippines, I could relate to what you guys said about Filipinos about being cool and jerks at the same time. One of my few friends whom is also a Filipino immigrant, I know him for 3 yrs now, just called me yesterday and asked me a favor if I could lend him my car because it was his girlfriends anniversary or whatever. His Corolla CE needs to have a brake replacement that's why he was asking me a favor. --- The funny thing is this is not the first time he asked me if he could borrow my car, he even asked me one time to pick up his mom from work because he himself is at work. I then realized too that everytime he calls, it's always about doing favors, which obviously got me agitated now whenever he calls. I mean this guy is my friend but still there's a side of him that I really don't consider "good breeding." I'm not saying that I'm perfect and saying this made me realize that I myself was like that too a couple of times. But to say because "he is Filipino" I think has something to do with it since we as Filipinos have experienced it here or back in our country and it is a way of life that we were accustomed to. Now I try to watch my actions and blend in the American way because, it is a fact that I am in America, my car has become my inspiration to work to the very best i can without stepping on anybody. To end this up, I learned that it is not about the race which defines a person, there are assholes in every race, though some stereotypes can be true and it is hard to differentiate yourself from that unless you really get to know the person. |

Thanks for all the feedback, yeah i was trying to match it to with the emblems but i don't really like the bronze/gold red theme. I might just shave the emblems and change to silver ones to get the rims that I really like. |

Happy holidays to everyone! I plan on getting new shoes for my car. I cannot make up my mind on these three, I am just wondering what you guys think would look nice without making the celi look like a street racer. Any opinions, advice would be really accepted. Thanks! |

QUOTE(freestyler121 @ Apr 30, 2003 - 7:21 PM) [snapback]30130[/snapback] hey this might soudns stupid but i ehard it before and my intake came loose and was hitting the side, i thought it was an engine mount also. just a guess kinda like if the remote isnt working dont do taking it apart before you check teh batteries I hear a rattling/clunking on low revs around 1st to 2nd gear. I thought it was transmission/suspension related then thought about the intake, before taking it to a mechanic. It was my Injen heatshield vibrating, duh... I removed it and prayed to the celica gods, hoping it would solve it. Problem solved! |

WTF????? i am hoping it arrives by monday, yes he has good feedback that is why i trusted him. if it doesn't well, that is bad rep for him and just let karma deal with it, at least let us know what's going on. i don't know if UPS takes two weeks to deliver, i smell something very fishy... |

I am selling an O2 sensor that I was supposed to use on my 5SFE e-bay header. I never got to install the header because it didn't fit so I ended up not needing this O2 sensor. Note: This is the 2nd O2 sensor located at the bottom part of the stock header. I bought this $100+ from advance auto, I'm selling it $85.00 shipped. PM me for anyone interested. |
