    how much did your 7mgte rebuilt cost you?

    maybe advanced wasnt the proper word. they are just a different animal. and your right, building up a 7m isnt cheap. but for either motor, a major rebuild isnt cheap when you put in lots of performance parts. it obviously depends on what your looking for. ive been in a 2j before, and i...

    hatch question

    yes, its a rubber plug that connect the wiper arm to the motor and keeps water out of your hatch. toyota sells them. not very expensive and very easy to install. not too sure about the spoiler -pete

    Air conditioning flush

    you added oil to the compressor, or refrigerant to the system? most reputable places will service your car. R12 isnt available to most places, so they will likely have to convert your system to r134. meaning they will have to completely evacuate the refrigerant and install the proper r134...
