Can someone direct me to a comprehensive listing, database, etc. that gives a life expectancy of the major components of the 6G? Specifically, I want to know (assuming reasonable use) how long the clutch should last, how long the struts should last, the belts, the brake discs, the exhaust system and any other items that may need replacement during the long life of the Celica, but may not be a regular maintenance item. Know where I can find that? Thanks.

I don't think the Celica would be too different from any other car. Regular maintenance and tune-ups are required on any vehicle and the recommended intervals are probably a good approximation. That's just my opinion though, and I admit I don't know that much about cars.

Well, that's why I posted here. The things that I'm trying to find info on are not generally part of the maintenance program. Also, I think some things are car-specific. For instance, there are certain vehicles that are known to have weak clutches. Theirs obviously will not last as long. Others are known for having few problems in general, and they are likely to fall well above the statistical norm of all vehicles in most categories.

Really, when it breaks, I'll fix it, and I won't if it's not. I'm just trying to project cost so that I can prioritize what I'm going to invest in on my Celica. Any additional advice or links will be appreciated.
