I'll try put the car up on jackstands when I have time. Can't see it from the top.

 

Do you have an aftermarket alarm? i thought my starter was starting to go bad when it made weird noises but it was the kill switch connecter not connected all the way. The kill switch connector eventually got disconnected and i thought my starter died lol.

 

looks like it has stock axles front and back. Cant believe they can handle the 44s. the cv angles are actually reverse.

 

mine(celica) is actually on the driver side next to the battery and radiator, all the way in the front. I wouldn't be surprised if it's buried in the bottom corner though...some designs they thought about ease of maintenance, and others didn't lol.....

I hate working on VW/Porsche/Volvo with a passion

 

No alarm. And the starter isn't dead yet, it's just struggling. It still starts the car but it's making me worried because it sounds like there's not enough battery...but it's not the battery because I hooked up a brand new better battery.

 

I kinda want to bet lunch it's the hardline or dirty connector.

 

I hope you win the bet and that's all it is. lol

 

Back in the day, my wife had a Celica (like Mike's) that we got for $500 from a friend.. It was a beater, with some dents, but fun..

One day I think the starter was going bad.. Had some guy come out to look at it. Come to find out it was something in the ignition switch that wasn't sending power from the battery to the starter.. I ended up hooking a separate "starter" switch that started the car (without key) by the push of a button.. Only reason you needed the key was to unlock the steering wheel.. (lol) someone technically could have stolen the car, but they wouldn't have gotten far not being able to turn.. lol..

 

So uh...when should we start planning for a Peacock Flats trip?

 

@raycie. lol..My wife would love that. "hey babe!..I fixed it!" "Just push that button bra!"

 

Lol

 

I'm down for another outing. So far, calender is clear, except Feb.20.

 

We need to get it rolling. lol Try and figure out a weekend that works for everybody.

 

My weekends are tied up till after Presidents Weekend.

 

and you're up rather early

 

Happy New Year to all of you...

Gonna start off the year with a fast, so that includes most media including TW (unfortunately). Won't be checking the site for 10-40 days, so if there is definitely anything cool or whatever, text me and let me know.. will definitely be hard not checking in after the 2016 release.

Stay safe ringing in 2015.

 

So you might check the site in 10 days? Or 40?

Have an awesome new year!

 

Minimum 10... last time I did it seriously, it was 38..

 

Happy New Years, everyone be safe!

 

Happy New Year Everbody See you next year
