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.

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

I hear ya. Im getting into my last week of classes, and then exams soon, but then again.. i havnt been able to work on anything.

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.

[Digndoug]

BUMP, just so it dosnt get lost..

[eclipse_04a]

hmm...if i had money id try it, i have all the time in the world, lol. guess ill just stick to snowboarding, since all i pay is the gas to get there.

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.

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

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.

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

HaHa No air tools.. I would say seems like a good reason, but i have only used air tools once.. an have replaced/removed many exhauust an other crap. But im sure i was lucky after tourqin them bitches for 30 mins at a time.. lol

By the way, (the reason for my post) What kind of air tools did you have an how good were they? Iv been looking to get some, but dont know any one that has any to get feedback.
