Well, yeah, option number three would preferably be with a coupe. I've finally started liking coupes more than hatchbacks.

You've FINALLY started liking coupes more than hatchbacks? OMFG. You should have always loved coupes more than hatchbacks. I dont want to get into deatail again as to why COUPES are sexier than HATCHBACKS, but look at your car. *drools* |

I'd rather have sideskirts, or rear extensions to go along with the replica Curren TRD wing and the OEM pre-facelift extensions.  But really, just hitting VVT would re-ignite the spark between the car and me. I'm gonna take off from work an hour early today so that I can see if I can get VVT to work by replacing that fuse, so hopefully that works.

coomer...its time to become a mechanic like the rest of us with swaps.
whats wrong with the clutch hydraulic system? you probably just need a new master cylinder, right? thats an easy fix. what exactly is worng with your motor? is the motor making any knocking noises,etc... buy some tools, BGB, and get into it. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

i would help out too ****, i got a 3 car garage, which actually has room for 3 cars, and pretty much all the tools someone would need to do any non machine work to a engine my friend has an engine hoist, and i have a bunch of airtools and a compressor did an engine swap a few weeks ago actually, and just yesterday we got spark(blown ignitor and wiring issues)! you wouldnt believe how something so small as a spark can bring your passion back to a project. now we just have to install and plumb the intercooler, tidy up the wiring, drop the tranny and put in the pilot bearing we forgot (D'OH!) and get exhaust made(3 inch straight pipe out the back, lol no muffler or anything) its a lot of work, but its nothing because the engine starts. try the fuse, hit VVT, and you will not want to give up. -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition

You should try to find a reliable engineer for the car Coomer.Why it looks so hard for engineers to make a CELICA work??
 I`m also having some problems with my GT4,but i`m very positive that in few days i will fix them,never had this thought of selling it.

You probably just need a new master or slave cylinder and valve adjustments. SOunds like you have some lifters acting up. Get them valves adjusted and it should be quiet.

So the new fuse didn't help...I still can't hit VVT.
 So I went back to my mechanic today...he insists that his wiring is completely 100% perfect and there's no way it can be wrong, and says that I must have a defective ECU.
