Okay, I just need to vent a little. I REALLY dislike working on Toyota's. I guess I'm spoiled by working on Honda's. Some of you guys will probably want to shoot me for saying that, but anyone who's really worked a lot on both cars knows that Honda's are really, really well designed. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my Celica, but after working on it's axles, bumper, and timing belt I realized how awesomely Honda has designed their motors so that nearly everythings really accessable. I think Toyota needs to take some lessons on engine engineering... but Honda still needs to take some lessons on exterior design.

YESSSS! I know what your saying. My car was a Bi*** to take the tranny out. Civic tranny's are sooo easy. But w/e I do love Celica's.

But w/e I do love Celica's. that's because the civic has a really small motor and tranny. It's like saying a 2wd truck's tranny is hella of a lot easier to take out compared to a big fat auto 4wd full sized van's... ;P -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
