  1. My 96 has 163k on it, and it has had very minor problems, in fact just two, the master cylinder went out and they replaced the steering rack at the same time under warranty, but I just replaced front struts finally, still have a little noise though, I think if you maintain it, change oil so you don't get toyota sludge problem, your car will last along time. I bought it used for 10k and could sell if for 2k now with some blemishes, good bang for your buck IMHO.
  2. That's strange, I changed out my O2 in front, EGR valve, and VSV, took all three to get the check engine light to go off, but my gas mileage went up by about 4 mpg. Try pulling your egr valve and cleaning it up ( it gets oil and carbon deposits), also pull filters off vsv and see if they have alot of soot and carbon in them, if so you should blow with compressed air and if that doesn't work grab the counter when you pay the dealer for that little peice! Also might want to consider replacing your fuel filter?
  3. Check and see if you have a replaceable fuel fitler, also I recommend a compelte trans flush, as drain and fill doesn't get it all. You can do it yourself, I would advise, but I am trying it myself for the first time so search on the net, you can go auto-rx.com and look under the trans flush it will tell you how to do it yourself.
  4. I am not trying to plug amsoil really, but I am switching to full synth for oil and trans fluid, amsoil seems best, and they just came out with a new air filter that tested shows more air flow using nano fiber, I will probably get one. K and N I have heard can allow more dirt into your engine, any feedback folks?
  5. I just used a floor jack under my center member, that support trans, I don't know if this is recommended or not, anyone want to chime in?, but it sure jack my car straight up, and then I put jack stands where the factory jack connects to the rail, which did work well for sure.
  6. A couple of suggestions for you........ Go to tirerack.com they have a nice setup of inexpensive alloys and blizzaks I believe. I live in Denver, the winters are more mild, so I went with BF Goodrich Traction TA which are supposed to be the best rated all season tires for snow other than Nokians which I have heard are quite good too. Search Nokian on google you will see for yourself.
