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

*update*... Gonna tow the car home... have my friend and I tear the engine apart and fix whatever's wrong... if the engine is too far gone... we'll just get another cheap one and toss it in...
I so miss my car... I don't know how you guys can live without yours while doing major swaps or work on them. -------------------- ~Daniel~ No Longer Celica Owner.. moved on to a 03 WRX-EJ207
