In inspiration from a couple other threads I've read lately, post up what is wrong with your car.
Mine: 1. Clearcoat flaking off roof, spoiler, and mirrors; paint fading underneath 2. Needs a timing belt within the next 500 miles or so but I'll probably wait 3. Funny sound from front left, suspect CV troubles but might just be somethin stuck in it 4. AC compressor dying, still works but whines like a supercharger lol 5. Car smells like ass from previous owner, re-upholstery and carpeting planned 6. Throttle cable has a lot of slack, but I can't get one shipped to this tiny town within the next month Otherwise the car is in pretty good shape for being 11 years old and having 122,000 miles. Very little rust, not much for dents or anything and is mostly just dirty in ways you cannot comprehend bc of the idiot previous owner. -------------------- 1999 Celica GT

Not many problems to speak of. I could probably run my car for at least another 50-60,000 miles+ without having to replace anything to serious. I'm totally in love with Toyota quality and efficiency.
 Only things I would like to fix- - New paint and doors so that everything is 100% perfect and rust free. - Stop the very very slight drip of oil that developed from the oil drain bolt after I changed the oil and lost the O-ring that goes inside the washer....*doh*....not hard to fix at all though. - Borrow a 24mm socket so I can change my transmission fluid. - Get an Optima battery so that my one amp doesnt pop from turning on and off from lower voltage. - Find out what the buzzing sound is from my back left tire....Although I dont think its anything serious or costly. - Boost  Oh and by the way, if anybody wants a smoother running engine, do what I did and start using Mobil 1 Synthetic. Amazing stuff, and although I was skeptical it would make a difference its like night and day now that I've driven for about 4 days with it in. -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |

[right][snapback]313171[/snapback][/right] It's most likely not the battery, but the fact that your amp doesn't have a soft-turn-on. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...
