    celica steering hub?

    well, i know my 91 supra and my 91 celica gt have the same style airbag wheel, the only things that are different are the fact that the celica wheel is not leather covered, and the airbag says celica on the celica wheel.. so i would guess that the splines on the hub would be the same.

    found my leak!! bhg :(

    no, i have removed it and inspected it. no leaks. it looks like it is coming from either the water pump or the t-stat housing. but i cant tell because when wet it is all over the front of the engine bay... and i cant get the damn thing to leak when im watching.
