^BOOM!! now we're talking :thumbsup:

Spoiler!

Will you be repairing the wheel?

Installed boost gauge. Only been 4 months since I got it, haha. Temporary position for now; I'm trying to find a spare a-pillar trim piece to drill a triple gauge pod into.

Actually they are rather reasonable.. not to mention if they peel you can take it back ;)

I'll see how much it costs when I get around to it. No real rush though. Not sure if I'll be fixing them to run them again, or fixing them to sell them though. I know lots of people aren't big fans of them, but I definitely like them more than any of the stock wheels. I think in person you can see the quality of the wheels which adds to the overall package. In photos they are kinda plain looking.

DIY question (figure this is a good place to ask)

My battery has been draining completely dead every several days (has happened twice now) I figure I needed a new battery but this last time that it drained after I charged it back up the Alarm has stopped working

The led wont blink, the remote doesn't work (stopped) but since the alarm stopped working I haven't had a complete battery drain issue yet although its just been a couple days

So my question is, is it the battery or has something gone wrong with the alarm ?

Not uncommon for aftermarket alarms to drain the shit out of batteries so that's what could be happening

Get it properly diagnosed first thought before you drop money on a new battery

If that doesn't work, bring it to Sounds Good.
I drained my battery after accidently leaving the lights on overnight. Boosted it, then the turbo timer or Alarm was acting up, and I couldn't turn off the car. Key out and Turbo Timer off, still drove. Weird.

Brought it to Sounds Good while it was still on, and had to stall it out in thier lot. They fixed it in no time.

So I had actually totally ignored this Alarm problem :seriously: and lived without a working alarm since I barely use the celica anymore.

Anyhow the alarm hasn't worked since then...until the other day I had taken the car out and stopped at Broadway & ... (can't remember the intersection i said i would but i forgot my god) anyway while driving through and stopping at the light of this particular intersection something causes my door locks to lock/unlock and make my alarm Beep repeatedly (it doesnt work remember but it beeps here) until I drove away from the intersection
after this incident my alarm works again, everything about it works like before... :fulloffuck: I had driven through the area again yesterday and it did the same thing at the same intersection (i know i should really remember the cross st. but i cant)

I've had an incident in the past where when driving by Lougheed Hwy & Coast Meridian (now the Meridian Connector) something would activate my alarm in the same way too (this is before the construction completed the update to the area)

I really should bring it in to have it looked at :lol

After neglecting my Corolla for the better part of a year, I removed a bunch of trim, grill, lights, etc., washed it down, cleaned the jambs and Noran's in the middle of polishing it.
Single stage FTL.

Also sanded some trim and taking the rest in for media blasting before painting them up.
Pics when polishing is done......

What year is the 'rolla?

This one is a '71. (KE20)

Rollin' on 12's, bitch. Sup?

:okay:

Did i see you coming down Cypress this morning at around 9:30am? Love the colour.

All these FDs. So beautiful!

So while Nolan was busy polishing, I figured I might as well clean up the trunk. Found the spare floating in a pool of water. It was probably a combination of cleaning the trunk jamb and a leaky taillight gasket. Popped the drain plugs out and gave it a degrease/wash.
