there is no problem in stop and go traffic... i have managed to get the temp up past normal under 70 but that was going fast with alot of stop and go with quick acceleration. I will check the hoses again and for bubbles but im not losing any water. Does 4k at 80 not sound high to anyone else?

I have replaced the fluid since because i checked the lower hose coming out of the radiator. the fluid levels are good. I dont think it has ever gone into the red, i usually make sure to flip on the heater before it gets to that. I havent taken it out to check the flip on flip off heater test.

Thanks for your suggestions but i have gotten past the easier parts of this problem.

So since my move to the mainland i have been doing a bit more fast driving (hawaii isnt really good for that). Hard to tell when the problem really surfaced though. When driving down over 70mph for 15+ minutes in the florida heat my engine will start to run hot. the needle sneaks up to the red, i put on the heater and the needle goes back to its home. At first i thought this was a cooling problem but the engine is running at 4k's around 80... which seems kinda high to me.

It only operates like this in the high speeds and if the air outside is 85+.
I replaced the radiator about 18 months ago along with the pump and most of the hoses.
The fan is kicking on.
The thermostat has been replaced.
And no-one here including our mechanic... can figure it out.

Sorry so long but I'm hoping one of you guys may have run up on a problem like this and can help me find out what the hell is wrong with my baby .

thanx in advance for all your help

dammit i just thought about bleeding the other day... but i still dont see why I cant move out of the neutral position... if anything it should just grind right?? Im not as automotively inclined as i would like to be and even more unfortunate i dont have the facilities to do any of this work myself. I think im gonna take it to a place on base and see if they think the same. Thanx for all the help... Looks like i will be walking funny for a few months... THANKS TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT!!!

I was having trouble with my clutch a few months back... every now and then it wouldnt shift properly and had to be forced. I figured the clutch needed to be replaced, it has 110k+ miles on it and just seemed to make sense. In order to avoid any trouble i figured i would take it to Toyota and pay the extra money to have it done right. They replaced my master and slave 900 and when i get it back it wont even shift... No grinding... it just wont got into different gears. Its fickle, cause sometimes if i work through the gears before i turn it on once i get going it will be ok and then later give out. I take it back they say i need a new Clutch Cable (still not sure what that is), and that i have a couple oil leaks that caused the cable to deteriorate. Ok i think i needed to fix the leak anyway so 1300 dollars later the leak is fixed and cable replaced. They said during the test drive that my clutch was slipping but when i went with the guy to take it around the block i didnt notice anything. So i take it home, only to have a new problem. After i leave first and stop again it wont come out of neutral, So at every stop sign i have to turn off the engine and start back up in first gear. Then it wont down shift of shift properly either. The shifter just moves back in forth in the neutral zone and wont go into gear. Just wanted to know if you guys think this is kinda fishy (or had any ideas as to what the problem is)... If replacing the clutch will fix this then i'll gladly lay down the 900 they're saying it will take but I'm worried that another problem will "pop up" and my car will never be fixed.

Please Help!!!

another 808 celica here... mine has some minor mods but nothing as good as a GT4 conversion (which i would love to slap on one day). I was surprised to hear there were two on the island i drive all around and have never seen one.

I finished my install thanks for the help. The reception is not what it used to be but it will do i really only need the antenna for sirius anyway. Thanks again

I read the install how to but it doesnt say anything about the motor. the reason i am replacing the antenna is bc it grinds going up and wont go down unless you give it a little push. There is a how to on disconnecting the motor but that requires that the antenna will be pretty much useless seeing as you connect your antenna wire to another wire in the car. Is there a way for me to stop the motor without making this already bought and ready to instally antenna more than just aesthetic.

im taking it in for a pressure and chemical test tomorrow morning hopefully that will give me a better idea of what im dealing with

I have a bit of a problem. Theres a leak somewhere in my cooling system and seeing as i live on base, and lack the tools,facilities,and knowledge to fix it myself I am forced to have someone else fix my car. The toyota dealership cant see me until over a month from now. A time during which i will be in the middle of the ocean. So the question... where can i go to get my car fixed where i wont "get screwed" I initially had my car looked at by WALLY HO'S GARAGE AND DINER but he wanted to charge me 1900 dollars to replace my radiator, water pump, and hoses. 700 dollars worth of parts...thats alot of labor.


PLEASE HELP

would feel alot safer with some dyno results...but put me down for one

the references are plenty good...better than the alpines even i have four in my car and i love them...sometimes if you wait they even put them on a buy one get one free type deal.

dont know if youre still running this but i need a passenger side sunvisor...will also buy shift boot and maybe interior side panels if the price is right but definitely the sunvisor since its the only thing thats REALLY broken.

thanx in advance

oh well thanx for the suggest i might check it out and get lucky...are there any good stores on the island for our cars?

i want a new steering wheel since mine is falling apart...so i was wondering if any1 knew of a good place on the island... thanx in advance.

What will happen if this falls through as with the VIS sideskirt GB that i almost lost money on??

black w/ blue thread

how many ppl are we waiting on??

if this thing ends up holding out until July 15th ill be probably be back on.

much thanx to all i probably will go the s2000 route. Just thought it was weird that i never saw that ebay buy offered till like a week after my antenna broke.

I go on vacation and when i get back my antenna makes this grinding sound every time i put it up. The motor runs even though the antenna's all the way up. Then when i turn the car off the motor runs for the tnna to come down but unless i give it a little touch it stays stuck in the up position. Then all of a sudden i find this ebay item that i have NEVER seen.

After digging through old posts ive come up with several options and need help choosing.

first what brand are the irotors.com? cause all they say are that they are simply rotors.

Does Cyberauto.com offer cad plating??

and lastly what do you guys think of these??

thanx in advance for all advice and wisdom dispensed.

sorry it took so long for me to reply i've been on vacation for the past couple weeks i come back and this gb that i thought was extinct and i dont even remember signing on for is waiting on me. IT SUX but my present financial circs cant allow me to go on with this though. Hope this does monkey wrench the buy but when it started i was a little better off than now.
