I bought 5W-30 and 2 filters because Saturday I'm changing the oil.
And maybe I'll have the tires rotated and balanced on Sunday. -------------------- Has no more Celicas

Have a vacuum leak, somewhere... Blew smoke into manifold and is coming from around the vacuum modulator and below that... The leak is intermittent. At times car will run fine around 750 rpm, then others it'll go up to 1,000-1,100. Then fluctuate, will drop and once it almost hits 800 it goes up again... Going to find a mirror to use, try and see the source better.

Today I felt so dumb. I carpooled with my brother to work so the car would be "cold" to change the valve cover gasket when. Return from work, but when I got home, I took the car to buy the parts and when I come back the car is hot. It was kind of late and I had wasted daylight, so now I've got to do it tomorrow. I will also be painting it red
 Oh, and today I picked up a two post hatch from urbandork. I hope to do the swap tomorrow as the valve cover dries. -------------------- |

He's been selling it for awhile now.. New holes have to be drilled to fit the two post on a three post hatch right? Make sure to take pics of the process I've always thought about converting.

Yes indeed, new holes have to be drilled, that is why I bought the hatch, to avoid it. I will not be doing it.  previous to buying the hatch, I had the gt4 spoiler and after taking the 3 post spoiler checked it if fit, what holes end up aligned and where I should be drilling holes.mi sadly realized that none of the holes from a 3 post hatch would be used as they are totally indifferent places, plus new holes would need to be drilled, three on each side and all towards the edge of the hatch as one goes to the left and right. It was an ordeal I was not so sure I would have successfully completed. I did not take pictures of how it looked, but I can do that for you if you want to see.

I was so tired yesterday that I did not get time to post this, so here it is.
Today I replaced the hatch from a three post ready hatch to a two post one, then installed a raised GT-Four wing. All as I was waiting for my valve cover's red pain to dry for I had painted it. In the process I also replaced the gasket and spark plug seals. I think it was a productive afternoon. Today, I will wash the car. -------------------- |
