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.

You have no idea how many people/mechanics have commented on how accessible everything is on the 5S-FE in a Celica/camry. Especially friends with MR2's. LOL. It just seems like a Honda is easier to work on because of the tiny engine and tranny.
I mean come on to name a few the: Alternator Starter Oil filter Distributer cap and rotor Ignitor and coil -all can e easily removed without disturbing other parts. That's most of you basic maintenance parts. --------------------  |
