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.

Engineering lessons???? dont blame your lack of ability on toyota, yes a timing belt on a toyota is not easy...ive done at ton of them and if you know what you are doing it is very simple....and compared to honda they are almost the same. axles??? thats a cake walk, and last time i checked most fwd transaxles are pretty much the same. if you think toyota needs lessons on engineering take a looks at the 2jz-gte 3s-gte 4a-ge 22r....yea toyota doesnt know what theyre doing. -------------------- 2011 Spice Orange Mini Cooper
