    These need hid's in them for sure...or at least bulbs without a silver coated tip....kinda defeats the purpose of projection when the tip of the bulb has chrome on it!

    Man I drove past an 87 blue gt the other day ....actually 10 mins from my house...it looks like the car may be just parked....if I can get my hands on that.....it would be incredible, then I wouldn't have to worry about this god forsaken etest anymore!! :D

    I think the motor might be fucked at this point.... The #4 spark plug had a bunch of oil on it when I changed them... I think that might have something to do with it...

    I've put a new cat on...

    New o2 sensor....

    Changes the EGR valve....

    Oil change...air filter....spark plugs....


    The NOx is off the charts....and it's either because the engine is fucked, or because it's an 86 engine testing to 88 standards, but the government gives me no say on what the standards should be, it's an 88 car, they test the emissions of an 88 car....assholes!

    hah

    so yeah..it's pretty much because the government wants money from me so they won't let it pass an etest...something to do with global warming or something.

    Ah that sucks; changing all that and still won't pass. It's the government, they're hating your Celica because it's a Toyota and the government hates Toyota's because they're superior over other brands like GM for example. I'm sure you've heard about that GM plant that got closed down in Ontario I believe; so now they are probably hating imports because the economy is losing money due to the plant closure.

    Well that's my theory; might be crazy but it seems...logical. Or it "could" be because the plant made gas-guzzling SUV's and full size trucks and with gas being so expensive now-a-days, no one wants to buy them.

    Nice, why did you change to the new grille.. i like the original one better! u have the same as mine now but i want the one that goes right across, under the lights...

    The grille it came with was beat up and cracked pretty bad....also I was missing a side marker light, and I had an 86 parts car so I just grabbed the grille and lights off of that. :D
