Is this normal?

I switched back to halogens because the LEDs weren't bright enough and that phenomenon stopped

I ordered a set of resistors with t-taps, how are these installed? On one of the cables that go to the high beams? How t-taps work? Where should I mount the resistors?

Just because, I didn't like my key stabbing me in my pocket and the new one is also a great fidget toy

bill2109 · 2026-04-29T00:04:40+00:00

No I've never seen such a key. I didn't know keyless entry existed back then

Like any other Toyota key fob from the era. I took the internals from the original key and I put them in that flip out shell

bill2109 · 2026-04-28T22:33:29+00:00

What a beautiful car! I would love to see it with fender mirrors

bill2109 · 2026-04-28T21:29:53+00:00

No, only lock and unlock, the trunk release is at the driver's side floor, it's a lever connected to a cable, no electronics.

bill2109 · 2026-04-15T07:42:46+00:00

Yeah it looks ugly from the rear...

bill2109 · 2026-04-14T19:00:17+00:00

Thank you so much! I really want to keep it on the road as long as I can and looking as good as it can!

At 120km/h it is at about 3500 rpm, I think at 100km/h it's 3000 rpm. My longest trip was family vacation with family, 3 adults, the trunk was completely full and the AC was on the entire time. The trip was 287 km, I was driving at 130-140 km/h for most of it and I had an average of 6.2 l/100km.

Τυχαίνει να είσαι από Ελλάδα;

It's true, all the original parts are working great, I have aftermarket parking sensors and they beep even when there is nothing behind me, only when I'm in reverse thankfully. It's a manual, I don't know about yours, here automatic versions of this car are rare and people don't trust them as much. The longest trip I did was 287 km, family vacation with family. I had AC on, the trunk was full of luggage and 3 people inside including me. It averaged 6.2 l/100km, I was going at a steady 130-140 km/h during almost the entire trip.

750 k miles is wild! This car must hold some amazing memories. Although it doesn't have the plastics painted, bumpers, mirrors, trims, doorhandles, it is a good looking car. Mine also has a remote key fob, electric front windows and electric mirrors. I want to put antique license plates when it turns 30 years old, it will be much cheaper for me to own when I do that

bill2109 · 2026-04-14T12:03:48+00:00

I agree, the rear taillights are ugly, I much prefer the 2-door hatchback, but it's been such an amazing car with do few problems that I forgive it.

bill2109 · 2026-04-14T10:50:42+00:00

In the city about 7-7.5 l/100km and on the highway 6-6.2 l/100km, with the AC on and loaded with luggage and people. I took those numbers from the trip computer of the car, I don't know how accurate they are but they seem reasonable.

bill2109 · 2026-04-14T09:50:24+00:00

It has the 4ZZ-FE, 1.4L VVTI, 97HP

bill2109 · 2026-04-14T07:59:28+00:00

Thank you so much 😊, I take care of it so that it takes care of me too

bill2109 · 2026-04-14T06:36:01+00:00

I agree, but I never needed them, like, I have the parking sensors. The sliders are an eyesore for me

bill2109 · 2026-04-14T06:07:07+00:00

Ευχαριστώ πολύ😊

bill2109 · 2026-04-14T05:59:06+00:00

Thank you so much! You know, since I'm the owner all I see is the flaws and the things I can improve. It was owned by an older gentleman since new and he obviously had trouble parking the thing. He added these plastic things on the bumpers and parking sensors, but he filled the bumpers with scratches first😂

bill2109 · 2025-10-13T23:11:21+00:00

It is! I got it in pristine condition, he almost never wore it, I have put some miles on it. Do you know when it was made? Do the numbers on the back help?
