Kaiser's 1996 Survivor Celica Options

[Kaiser]

This is Lucy. She is a 1996 Celica ST Hatchback, cutest one in town.
Bought February 2nd, 2013 for $2800 with 103,XXX miles. My first car.

As of 01/01/15:






When I bought her:










Modifications:

Underhood:
-Cone filter
-NGK plugs

Wheels/Suspension:
-Stock suspension
-Stock wheels powder coated Alert Red

Interior:
-Painted interior trim
-Removed rear seats

Electronics:
-Pioneer HU
-BOSS amp + 13" Subwoofer

Exhaust:
-Stock exhaust piping
-Muffler deleted, welded a straight Impala SS Flowmaster tail pipe on the back




***I haven't been around for a year, a lot has happened. The Celica was wrecked and fixed and now I'll probably be losing it anyway after I graduate. But I miss the forum and I'll get another Celica someday, so I came back to finish Lucy's little story.***

yup, that's the alternator belt, mine was screeching like that a while back. snapped the damn bolt trying to loosen it. had it sit for a WEEK looking for ONE bolt there's 3 bolts holding the belt and alternator, just loosen the locking bolt and turn the adjusting bolt until it's tight and the sound goes away.

Alrighty, sounds like it shouldn't be too much of a hassle. I can only hope I'll be able to take the car tomorrow, they're calling for sleet and snow. :\ It's insane how loud the noise is with the hood open... I thought it sounded bad from inside the car, but when I got near the engine bay it was horrible. Thank god it's not something uber intensive, though.
