Hey everyone,
last week I noticed that My exhaust manifold has a crack in it. and for about a year if not two, my car has had this whistling sound. sounds like a Semi truck Turbo spooling. and at first it was so light that my mechanic couldn't even hear it. but now its very noticeable. so I was wondering do you think the manifold would be causing that? also my car smokes during the first mile or so after start up. warm or cold. I'm pretty sure its white, maybe a little blue, someone told me that it looked and smelled like an exhaust leak. could this also be contributed to the manifold being cracked? and lastly, since I've been driving on this manifold for a while, with what looks like no other damage to the car, what ill effects can come from this? Thanks for taking the time to read this, Soul .... oh yeah I have a 97 LE ST. |

yeah man, really nice, though needs some TLC in the cosmetics department lol... Car+ no space in garage= death to clear coat. but the car is just at that point were things need replacing. I just lost an emblem off the front, the driver seat is messed up, need a new shifter boot (why are they so expancive! lol) and I think some window/ lock switches are going. maybe motors as well... eh oh well I'm not giving this baby up! I luffz the 6gc! haha

Whats the US like for parts for the celica? -------------------- You Take Them Spoons Away He Cry Like A Baby, Mother F*ucking Spoon Love
