Hate to rain on the parade, but if you're producing a lot of blue smoke it's unlikely to be the spark plug tube sealant. It may well be in need of replacing, but even if it's gone there shouldn't be m...

5SFE? The engine uses screwed-in spark plug tubes, which have sealant on the threads. Over time, this sealant can break down and allow oil to leak into the combustion chamber/spark plug tip.

It's not better because it's JDM -- it's better because it's a tubular manifold meant for a 3SGE engine, which was the performance version of the 5SFE.
A similar manifold was used on the last North Am...

ST to GT? - 6G Celicas Forums

6th Generation Celica › General Discussion
European Celicas did not get the 5SFE (ST204) -- they got the 3SGE (ST202) in equivalent models.
ST was the lower-end vehicle, but certainly could be provided with options. Dealer versions sometimes c...

Drilling and slotting brake rotors is really a fools game in this day and age. At a time when brake pads off-gassed, holes through the rotor were a way to ensure proper contact. Back when brake pads g...

Brake pad just falling out? - 6G Celicas Forums

Perhaps the installer forgot the mounting clips? Though how the brakes would have enough room between the caliper and the rotor to fall out escapes me.

Tinny metal rattle makes me think thin metal -- which makes me think e-brake backing plate. Specifically, the shoe rattling against the backing plate because one of the hold-down springs is loose. Eit...

Something people rarely check -- the e-brake hardware. Most specifically, the pins and springs which hold the e-brake shoes against the backing plate. Lose tension on one of those and the shoe will bo...

An alternative explanation is poor ground connections, which prevent current from flowing freely. The stock wiring's pretty thin to begin with, and as they age they build resistance, become brittle an...

Red blinkers on the rear wouldn't be illegal. Plenty of factory cars use the brake lights as turn signals as well. Red and amber may appear on the rear of a vehicle, white and amber on the front, and ...

Really easy way to tell is if your temperature gauge drops while in motion, then rises when idling.

Pop your hood while the engine is running and sniff around -- an O-ring on an injector could have gone, which would lead you to be leaking gasoline.
