I realized during the ten minutes that she was the car behind me that the GT4 spoiler blocks your view of the driver behind you's face.

Julian - great pick-up! I have a set sitting in my storage room waiting for new summer tires. Can't wait to see yours on your Celica. Yesterday, I winterized the windows a bit - Rain-X for both the interior and exterior to prevent fogging and what not. Today, I drove to work enjoying the sound of my 6gc. Haha I cant wait to see them either! They would've been on by now if my jack didn't get stolen -------------------- |

Bought some electrical supplies for the swap. Basically gonna make my own harness so I'll have reverse lights and clutch safety start
Also started on some of the basic wiring getting stuff ready. Liquid tape, electric tape, and then liquid tape to cover it so it doesn't peel; repeat. Bud of mine was making fun of me, but I'm gonna sure it lasts. |

Today I sold my 3 post steering wheel on my car, sad to see it go, but I'll most likely get something better once the wheels are paid off and I finish everything else I need to do.

Today I was offered a job helping with transporting and setting up P/A systems and all that goes with that. Alas, the Celica is too small for such. >.>

Car died on me, was driving over some train tracks (on my way for a tire rotation, I would do it myself but the shop I use wasn't going to charge me anything so I figured what the hell). Car jumped to 2000 rpm, sputtered a bit, I sat there wondering what the heck could be wrong, so I gave it a bit of gas, it stuck at 2000 rpm and died. I coasted into the nearest parking lot, checked my fluids and everything seemed fine. Tried to crank it up, everything was cranking OK, but the car wouldn't start. Pulled a sparkplug wire to see if there was anything alarming waiting, but that was clear. Went to put the wire back on and noticed that it would not snap back onto the plug. I looked into the plug wire and noticed the screw-on tip of the plug was stuck in the wire. Had the GF walk the kids back to the house while I sat there and tried to get the end of the plug out. Finally got it out, but damaged the threads (At the time I had no idea that this was the screw on type). Go up to the nearest auto-zone with my plugs and bought replacements, go back to the car and install them. Crank up the car and get the same thing, will turn over and not fire. There was an auto repair place right across the street from where I broke down, so I get some of the guys to help me push the car over into the shop. I got a call shortly after telling me that my distributor was shot, this is the OEM distributor which has lasted for 174k, so I told them to go ahead and replace it (only because the diagnostic fee I would have been charged was the same as the installation fee, so I was only looking at parts at this point). I am now waiting to hear word that I can go pick my car back up. They will be setting the timing back to where I had it and hopefully I will be back on the road soon. Now I will need to replace my plug wires within a month in order to have my warranty honored for the distributor. Today has not been a nice day so far.
