It took me about 8 hours, but that's only cause the Celica is the first toyota I've ever worked on. I could cut that time in a quarter if I was to do it again. It didn't cost me a dime over $31 too.(the price of the belt) People told me later that I should have replaced the tensioner, but whatever, too late now. Anyway, as long as you've got a GT, I'd totally be up for walking you through it the best I can online. If I ever do it again, I'll make a "how-to" for it. --------------------  |
