[MacgibaS2]

just got into an auto accident and our car was hit passenger side.. recently deemed a total loss so we'll be parting out a white '99 celica gt soon or sell as a whole.. pm me for more info if your seriously interested. car is currently located in Fresno, CA.

Sad day to hear that but glad that no one was injured.

thanks! luckily there was no passenger.. otherwise

today i got my a/c working.. didn't know there was a pressure or refridgerant level sensor in the compressor that if there wasn't enough refridgerant, the clutch won't engage.. wasted 2 hours just to figure that out. all it needed was a charge andthere was nothing wrong with the a/c clutch and magnet to begin with...
i also got around to pulling the seats out and vacuumed the interior, cleaned the leather and dash. i was surprised to find $6 worth of loose change under the seats and inside the plastic panels.

This is a rough layout of what im looking to do. I plan to keep the VVTI, and my ECU of choice will be an aem unit.
If anyone has any suggestions or tips, or whatnot ill be happy to hear things over!!

[travisxcore]

Just bought a pair of 2.5"/5" Apollo long range KC lights to replace my fogs. Cost me 150 bucks. Starting on the skid plates and heat shield next week.

[Keiri]

Yesterday, had the trans fluid flushed, valve cover gasket and distributor o-rings replaced.

Today, front calipers, brake pads, and brake system bled.

Now to wash and wax her...

[jordisonjr]

Vacuumed and cleand the hell out of the interior, gave it a quick exterior wash.
Clay bar, and wax tomorrow

[stephen_lee]

finished all the bondo on the body of my V6, started work on the GT4 hood i got basically free

[travisxcore]

Was over at a friends house last night. Had no idea it was raining. Left her house at 2 this morning and I had left my windows down and sunroof cracked. it was so wet.

[RabidTRD]

Installed my new gauge bezels. Much happier with the professional look of these and the non-rice-o-roni style of the last. Also put on my 6GC.net stickers! Woohoo!

[Keiri]

...think I found out why my idle has been so rough and the car sometimes felt like it was faltering and about to die:




Thank goodness I've had a short ram intake sitting in a box waiting to be installed for about a year; it's finally in because of this.

[al94st]

Brian, they did all those other things to your car and didn't notice the cracked intake?

[SwissFerdi]

Today, I bought an EverStart Maxx 35S. That's right, a WalMart battery. I was hoping to pick up an Optima YellowTop for $120, but the vendor won't have any until next week and I needed something now as my former battery was truly dying. I didn't feel like paying $200 for a YellowTop at other stores either...

It's a 550 CCA unit, which should be fine as I never have accessories on at startup. My amp only draws 175 watts, so it should do fine.

I'm afraid so my friend or it's very possible when the distributor and valve were done they could have torn it but just didn't tell me; it just goes to show why I rarely take my car to the local Toyota dealership.

It's also possible I killed it driving on highway 218 on Monday but I highly doubt it.

They usually all start to rip after a while because they dry rot. It was like that on one of my cars that only had 126k, and another one that 219k. The 219k one had multiple rip points in it though.

Typical 5S intake hose. Ferdi, I'm rocking the same battery inmy project car. I've gotten two of them for free through Wal Mart's warranty. Go figure three batteries in a year and a half.
