Well I was hoping to bring my Celica to Ohio so that my Uncle could build me a custom sub box and help reorganize my air suspension... but an hour on our trip... The engine just cut off... So i pulled it over and looked under the hood... Had some antifreeze coming out of the overflow tank and the engine was hot.. However the needle read normal temp... So once the engine cooled... we checked the radiator and it was pretty much full :-( So then we started it up and heard a knocking from under the valve cover... Checked the oil... that was fine... So i had to tow it back to NC to a shop... Haven't heard what's wrong with it yet...
Sad Sad Week for me :-( -------------------- ~Daniel~ No Longer Celica Owner.. moved on to a 03 WRX-EJ207

Well... idk if you still have the celica or not... and if its easy to remove your sub system.. .but my uncle can't build me my custom box without the trunk to build it around... So... idk if you can... but maybe we can borrow your trunk for 2 to 3 days so my uncle and measure and build my custom box.. as far as the engine goes... I guess now i'm considering either trying to buy a 3sgte engine and finding someone to install it and figure out how much that will all cost..... -------------------- ~Daniel~ No Longer Celica Owner.. moved on to a 03 WRX-EJ207
