    Window trim

    my trim is all on but has leaks and some on my hatch is popping up a bit...causing noise on the highway and to me an aggravating imperfection... the other side is fine but one just sticks up a bit and feels loose... BLAH!

    Cold start tapping/knocking...uh oh....

    what would actually be making the knocking sound? the oil pump turning over? (i don't know how they work) it hasn't been as prominant as it was for a few days but i still hear a faint knocking that goes with the engine rpm...it's just that my car usually revs up when it starts... so the...

    Exaust question

    well i knew they obvious but i asked because i was worried about metal warpage from the heat and constant pressure making it hard to put back on once i get it off..... but i will admit to a rather silly question.... it just looks like it might come off and not go back on. but then again i...

    i doubt that it would be a problem, probably much eaiser than getting into a conventional supra sized door....which, by the way, are the longest doors i've even come in contact with.... if you were parked within 2 mirror lengths of a car or next to a wall i can see it being a problem, but...

    suck my fingers in, no looseness tried to wiggle and turn the main pulley....no movement...period. i think that it may just be made a bit...off and isn't as perfectly round as the other pulleys.

    Cold start tapping/knocking...uh oh....

    yeah...um....thanks. I guess if you didn't read then there is still no telling what could be wrong but i guess i'll take that into consideration... for all i know it could be a cylinder not firing. :icon_conf

    Cold start tapping/knocking...uh oh....

    nothing... i didn't notice the knock like it did for a few days... i'm hoping its not a bearing... on the first few starts it held an idle at around 1300 rpm. I let the clutch out to slow the rpm but i didn't hear anything wrong...i guess that's bad...i dont know. I've heard the...
