Not yet...still finishing up my research paper for engineering physics...then I'm off to the store for some coffee and Pepsi to keep me up, then I have to do two math assignments, one physics problem, and three extra credit article summaries for my economics class...then bed. wink.gif

But hopefully tomorrow I'll get around to it after my econ. final. smile.gif

yeah, school sucks, but it is more important than a cheap short shifter....i havent had much time for my car between school and work, but then again, i dont have any money either, so i guess it doesnt matter a whole lot that i dont have time.

Sigh...I'll get to this at some point. Lately I've been doing schoolwork and attempting to get my GT-S working, but Toyota made such a big mistake with that car it's ridiculous. mad.gif

As another owner of a 4th Gen GT-S I'm curious to know what the big mistake was? wink.gif

The starter wires...lots of GT-S owners experience problems with them. They're too small and over time build up resistance, to the point where sometimes the car won't start, but if you wait a few minutes, it will sometimes start. That's a major, major problem, and I don't understand why Toyota never realized this and recalled the GT-S models.

Also, the starter wires touch the block, and accessing them to replace them at the starter itself is not easy. To even get the starter out, the exhaust has to be removed. And that I can't do myself, so I'm stuck taking my car to Toyota most likely to get this done. frown.gif

Oh... that. Yeah, that's the main reason I parked the car. I got sick of it not starting on me 50% of the time. I'm sure it's a cheap fix but I was too lazy to do it so I just bought a new car instead. =P
