Ha....give up now....j/k. If it makes you feel better, my radiator blew during texas emissions testing...idiots ran it up, reved n reved with no type of airflow to compensate, cracked radiator and did a half ass job cleaning the mess theyade. Needlesd to say I didnt pay a dime for the emissions test and reported them to the bbb. Also turned down their offer of replacing my rad to the tune of 500 dollars, thats discounted. |

Which is lucky because I just failed emissions when I went to get a normal inspection by literally, a frog's hair. Just wasted $40... But since I tried, I get a 15 day grace period to get it up to snuff, but really, I'm just going to drive to Boyd and get an emissions-less inspection there.

She feels great; I no longer have the hesitation upon pressing the accelerator nor the gutless feeling when I floor it. She's quick and responsive again and I hope will feel even better once I switch to a full synthetic of lower weight. Also, you guys have any recommendations on what to use - I was using 0W-20 before the rebuild and with the engine being practically new I figure going back to synthetic would be wise. -------------------- Has no more Celicas

Today I finally got the gaps fixed in the front SS-III splitters I just put on and noticed, as I drove the little woman to work in the rain, I noticed someone a few houses down from us has a clean, very well manetained, black, MKIII Supra Turbo. I think I need to make friends with this fellow. Oh God, with my luck, its a beautiful woman and mine will then spin into one of her jealous fits ...

That's the original Toyota logo and I like the color choice but the TRD knob is a rarity.
