That security indicator is a pretty standard thing on Toyotas. The LED flashes when the car alarm is armed. No idea what the speaker does though.

Are you sure it's a speaker? It might just be random holes.

I don't think that's the factory exhaust manifold.
 Needs a V6 swap. This post has been edited by Bitter: May 9, 2011 - 7:25 PM -------------------- |

no its a header, i have the original manifold in the back of the car. as for a v6 swap lol idk im not much of a v6 fan.. turbo or sc is mabey something i might think more into. but as for now its much more responsive than the celica.

I'd be careful with a pre-molested car man. While its still under your 30day or whatever warranty inspect EVERYTHING that you can for someone's previous short cuts when doing work.
Yes, I agree that they're more akin to a Camry than Celica. -------------------- |

yea i do know what you mean lol i looked that car over for almost an hour though. pressed every button and looked at everything i could get my hands into... the nice thing is, the original owner had all the paper work in the car so everything was either done by the dealership or another shop.

that's cool. My Celica was bone stock, had all the paper work, and then come to find out it had a $300 hole in the floor when I got it up on the rack at work to do some brake work. Looks like some putz lifted it wrong and just never told them.
