brakes need to be replaced

Flaking red paint on bumper
Sratch on back bumper(So may recall my post on Crazy B!tch at an IHOP Thread which will explain the scratch)

Battary Terminals are having trouble keeping a connection
bent rear Driverside rim
those are the things that must be fixed. Just waiting for time, and for it to kool off a little. Its to freakin hot in Houston right now to walk to the car, let alone work on it.

thanks this thread really helped me, get things inline on what I need to fix

ST202 SS-II CELICA threadNew Zealand members check inSticky thread's: How to contribute and troubleshoot.
Well not too much...

1. drips a drop of oil every now and then, not enough to do anything.
2. sun damage on the drivers side door panel and arm rest
3. paint is a little faded, but still shiny :-)
4. has 156,000 miles

thats all I can think of at the moment...

Not counting cosmetic? (ie: badly needs reupholstering, needs a paint job, has plenty of dings from 14 years on the road)

1. Right front wheel bearing
2. Gas tank and filler neck leaking
3. Oil leaks from valve cover, rotor, oil pan gasket and main seal (my fault after doing the clutch frown.gif )
4. Internal oil loss from sweeper rings (likely) common to the 7A and other 'yota fours.
5. Occasional coolant odour (heater core? who knows)
6. Mystery loss of power/acceleration. I'm blaming the wheel bearing now
7. Exhaust leaks from downpipe and midpipe at the muffler. Flanges are rotted. Nice SS exhaust, too.

What I just did recently:

8. Alternator replaced
9. All drive belts
10. 2 transmission fluid changes thanks to clutch install
11. Said clutch install
12. Earlier exhaust leak repaired.
13. E-brake cable seized and binding rear brakes. Replaced one cable, have the next for when it goes.

The biggest problem is that the motor won't die! 376,000kms on it now, and it purrs like a grisly old kitten. I'm not sure how much more $$ to put into the 7A and stock composition before putting on blocks and eviscerating it. I planned to do a 3MZFE swap from day 1, but I was going to use it as a daily driver until the motor went. Stupid Toyota quality!

It's getting to be make-or-break time. Hopefully you guys can talk me into a decision.
1. New Passenger side Axle (the boot split open there is tons of grease the on inside or the front right rim)
2. Install Pre-Cat Oxygen Sensor (Still original denso o2 sensor with 110,000 miles on it)
3. New Battery
4. New Perfomance Clutch Kit, MY GEARS ARE STARTING TO SLIP!!! frown.gif
6. when downshifting into 2nd gear going really fast, i tend to hear a little tearing noise. (Need to fix the synchronize of the gears) HOW MUCH WHO KNOWS??
5. Sew together driver seat, starting to slowly rip apart.
6. Fix small dent on rear right side of car. nothing to noticeable but annoying to know its there (Plus i just recenlty painted my car)
7. Fix up my car asap. I need some money now!!
9. Eventually get a 3rd gen 3s-ge engine swap!!! sometime in the future like 3 years from now...
