If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...

I'm not sure I still want to go that route. Depending if Dustin gets back to me, I may just get a spoiler from him and then the "body kit" will really be complete
 btw, I like how people are still voting even after the car has been fixed lol (well not totally, got to put in the new radiator, but I'm working on that) This post has been edited by 96bluevert: Oct 11, 2009 - 4:30 PM -------------------- "A true car enthusiast can see the potential in any car"

Great to hear.
Personally, that's also my fear with my car...I'm more concerned with age than mileage (I hit 78k yesterday!  ), but the car is 13 years old now.Good luck in the future man! -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]

Glad to hear it's back up and running! If you were going to have to pay a mechanic to do all the work, and get robbed, I was thinking get rid of it, but given the deal you got, I'm glad to see it's still around. Here's to it staying around another 13 years!

Yeah, I was not about to pay $1,500 to the dealership for a new head gasket. Thankfully there are other Toyota owners around the area with more experience than myself and are willing to help out.

Geez Swiss... 78 thousand? You have nothing at all to worry about. Not a thing. Most of us are now pushing 200K or more so that is something to worry about. At 78 you should have changed your timing belt, changed your rotors and breaks and shocks but only if necessary.
As far as I can tell your little celi probably has at least another 15 years of life in it. -------------------- Captain Pessimist

How's the car Matt?
Did the new radiator go in OK? I'll be back up in Seattle on Tuesday night and will probably be staying there for the rest of the week. |

Got the radiator in, the only problem I'm having is getting the clamps back on for the hoses. Other than that, it just needs radiator fluid and she should be ready to go.
