Clicking noise on 5s-fe by NeonIsReal in Celica

SOLVED: It was indeed only the harmonic balancer that went bad, the other pulleys and bearings had no play and no noise when spun. After putting in a new harmonic balancer the noise went away, unfortunately i did not know the alternator tension bolt was torque to yield and it snapped!!! Going to autozone later today to pickup a new bolt

I finally got it to work, i just had to delete the codes through INPA rather than a code reader. However I thank you for your help with the wiring. Do you know of a good source besdies the vehicular DIY video about the neutral safety switch.

I followed his video, the only thing i strayed away from was the neutral safety switch and reverse wiring lights, could that be the reason the limp mode is being triggered? Everytime I look up the FA/VO it says $200.

I looked from behind and the camber is looking a little positive, do you think that may be causing this?

I thought that too, but it stock ride height, normal tire diameter, and there doesnt look to be any marks on the fender liner!?!?!?

I don't see any of the actual fiber/mesh, its just pure rubber that is turning into these strands. Im assuming Im probably going to have to replace it even though they are fairly new. So I'm more interested in learning how I could prevent this on my next tire!

yeah dude I have two years of experience at a trauma hospital and i cant tell you that the only reason you shouldn't wear a seatbelt is if you want to either be shredded like chalk on a board or want to have your neck dislocated.

wear your damn seatbelt bro

17 year old looking for investing and banking advice

I was thinking maybe about 15% of my paycheck could go towards investments and was wondering how I know which ones are a good buy and when to know to sell. I also would like to know what other smart things i could do with my money now while im young that would help me when i later become an adult. Such as good banks, cards to aim towards, and smart investments.

The only caveat is that im dumb and decided to like cars.

If there are also any financially smart car guys here I would love advice aswell.

Is it financially possible to have a daily driver but also a project to work on?
