    well, what happened since then… I put on some Michelin Pilot Sport 4 on and they are sticky !

    Need new brakepads and service her in spring. She's using some oil and I suspect valve seals, so they need te be done. Then I would like a new thermostat, low temp. That would be all, ow and maybe install that boost controller from HKS which has been laying around for 2 years now lol.

    *blows dust of subject*

    Currently my celica is garaged as my clutch went this summer. I have had a kidney operation(got a new one) in september from which I'm still recovering so nothing happened to the car in the meantime.
    I did buy me an engine stand though as I want to get the engine plus transmission out. Syncromesh ring of the 5th gear is not at it's best so needs replacement as well.
    For the engine I want to do all rubber I can get my hands on as I did not do that when swapping and regretted that a few times since. Also the waterpump and timing belt will be changed when it's out so that's safe. The valve seals are leaking as it's using/burning oil as well, so those need replacement and whatever I find when it's out. In the meantime I can really clean the engine bay again.

    well, that's that for now lol
