Celica Forums General Discussion General Little problems only YOU know about your car

its an apr strut bar. ill take care of it tomorrow morning! thanks for that added reassurance there bud

[b] little rattles on the right side passenger door.

God damn i have so many problems...

Im missing all screws in my doors, center panel, dash, and arm rest.

The part on both handles the little black part WILL NOT stay in. I dont know how to fix it.

Im missing 2 plastic parts, passenger side by the tail light, and hatch inside handle.

NOISES coming mainly from where people put extra gauges, rear, sun roof, doors, and a squiggily noise coming from the rear area.

My car vibtares due to my wheels not being balenced correctly.

I have no wheel locks.

My alarm install is the worst ive ever seen.

My passenger door DOESNT LOCK, not even with the key, i can be jacked ANYTIME.

im going to add to my list:
-removed the pillars but when i replaced them, they do not seem to fit snuggly.
-passenger seat does not hold its place anymore when you are sliding it frontwards/backwards.
-wind noise from driver side.
-my ferrari came with a vvt-i engine and toyota badges
-it sucks without power doorlocks (i can live without p/windows)

Wow..I only have one complaint.

Every once in a while I hear something that sounds like a bottle of pills rattling around when I take a corner...BUT THERE IS NOTHING IN MY CAR!!!!

thats it though. lol

yea it happened to me also and if you still have the warenty they will fix it

36K miles and no problems to speak of!!!
MWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHAAAAA

damn belt rattles sometimes; and the trunk rattles like to fat bitches slapping there ass cheeks together from my speakers

It is the rubber thing on each side that hold the hatch. Put some oil/lub on it and it'll stop the noise.

well after reading this thread it makes me feel better about my car lol anyways my trunk area rattles when i have bass up high and my interior panel on pass side in the back rattles

when i shift from first to second gear it squeeks like no-lube action is happening.

my car squeaks I"m not used to the rattling in a 5th gen anymore... cause we had stripped out a lot of the inside "stuff" in the gts... and now having the all trac that isn't stripped, I hear all the lil noises again, lol.
I also know when my car is begging me to boost she starts to whistle... and then i hit boost and BAM! we're off

hmm lets see...

-my headlights were installed incorectly and has bubbles and creases..
-i dont have a front toyota sign badge
-my passenger sideskirt is not correctly mounted right lol only i can tell though
-the person that had my car previously got in a small fender bender and left a dent under the gas lid. you can barely see it
-my exhaust rattles on my rear skirt at idle
-my subs rattle the FUCK out of my trunk even if the bass is really quiet
-my headlights has so much water inside it.. it looks like a pool
-during summer, when i use the AC.. water leaks all over the passenger side floor.. like a puddle of water

Oh boy, I've got a long list.

When I installed my grounding kit, I noticed that my engine and tranny were missing a few random nuts and bolts
The windshield is pitted to hell, and the hood/front half of my car has so many paint chips (1 or 2 even seem to be in the metal), it's like the previous owner drove behind a fully loaded dirt truck for a day
Random rattling from the passenger side (with loud music on)
My removed butterfly causes rough idling under heavy braking
At a stop, my license plate frame rattles like crazy
My rear window defroster randomly shuts itself off
No matter what setting I set the air to (front defroster, legs, etc.) there's always some leaking through the normal vents
Many scratches under the front bumper (most not mine)
My passenger-side fender doesn't sit flush with the rest of the car, and there's what looks to be a few stress cracks on that side of the front bumper, because I basically hopped a curb with my front bumper only

lol I'm sure there's something I'm forgetting.

my gts runs so smooth that i'm endlessly speeding
Doorhandle rattles with bass
belt squeeks
sun roof tint is crazing
factory alarm has no range
Passenger seat belt is slow to retract

and the biggest thing that pisses me of is that my fog lights go out when my high beams are on.. so the redneck bung holes here in arkansas think that i'm highbeaming them when i'm on low beam!

Mine too...ended up taking it off, it rained like mad here a couple weeks ago and roads were muddy as hell and everything under the hood gets completely dirty now!

Hmm what else...license plate rattles from the bass, no matter what I do to fix it...the door is so heavy, when I get in/out sometimes it closes on me and it pisses me off...bass always breaks my gas door...my antenna isn't wired right with the aftermarket stereo, so it's up all the damn time and don't go down when I have a CD in...rear view mirror isn't tight enough, so bass rattles it upwards...

Renfield90: I think if you want the air to totally stop you would have to put it to recirculate. I think every car will do that with it set to fresh air.

Mine:
-bass rattles the trunk to shit.
-gas door rattles.
-passenger door rattles.
-sunroof creak (all the time) and squeeks (when it's raining).
-driver side back seat panel creaks and rattles with bass.
-belt noise.
-occasionally the exhaust hits something under car sounds like a backfire.
-hood is chipped so much, good reason to get a Carbon Fiber one I guess.
-chips on front bumper, body kit time I guess.
-the driver mat always moves on the one side, have to keep fixing it.
