Hi Anoo21, hope that you are alright. I posted the part numbers, right after I placed the order. So I have not received the clips yet. Does not look like it gonna be easy. May have to get a glass company to install them because no idea about the glass sealant. Neither on how to remove the glass nor where to get the proper sealant. Might have to start googling glass removal & install. :shrug: :D

You don't have to get a glass company or anything to install those clips.. you don't even have to remove the broken ones.. lol.. they slip right in... i just slipped them in right next to the broken ones and snapped the trim right back on.. no problem..

Decided to fix the small problems in the alltrac today started with finding out the trac had the usual quarter window leak but that was easily fixed by taking it out and putting new sealant. Then on to the sunroof as everyone has read it wasn't fully closing on the back end but now sits flush. I did not know but read in the good ol toyota book that there are shims. Cleaned up the rim from it getting EXTREMELY dirty from the caliper seizing. Lastly checked the rust spots of these cars and everything seems pretty nice. Wanted to polish/wax the car but didn't have time. Pictures below hope you like them. Thanks

The shims that you can take out and put in to adjust the sunroof :)

Not that much rust

Cleaned the spot everyone should know about an easy rust spot.

Finally had time this past saturday to go to my friends shop and replace the wheel bearing. I gotta say it was a pain 6 hours of work but way worth it. Bought a newer hub and knuckle and I had the bearing from Tspoon thanks. What was weird was the knuckle i got to replace the one on the car were a little different. bearing was different too. Seems like it was off a N/A car but went ahead and put a actual known Alltrac knuckle on and everything was ok. But the bearing was the culprit to why it was so noisy coming from the front of the car. I will let the pictures do the talking. Next now is truly the clutch.

My guess would be EGR , cause mine has all the EGR crap on it still and in yer photo of the plug I dont see any of that. Also you seen to have a sensor where the EGR normally is ... strange ... JDM motor ? Canada car ?

Passing emissions with the old EGR system is not a shock ... My brothers just went right through ours with none of it there. Mine will be deleted shortly. Cat on the otherhand has to be on ours and we share a converter for inspection and then re-install downpipe :D

Decided for more handling wise and cheaper for now to get coil sleeves i bought from my friend. lowered it to fit the tc rims and they look amazing. Plus got rear spacers im borrowing from another friend to see how the rear wheels look. Have to roll my fenders sometime though. Alltrac looks better though ;)

Looking good. I have a love affair with blue ST165s, and I missed out on a few nice ones. My first one was blue (Stolen :cry: ). The elusive Blue ST165s...

Dang I know I love my blue but needs a new paint job sometime soon. Still looks clean though. Thanks too, I dont think I can part with mine unless I truly had too.

Bubble ? not sure ...potholes maybe ? What brand tire ? Running a goodyear right now and other than thumping cause its sits to long they are a little noisy but no bubbles. Lowering springs are just right too BTW ... looks nice :)

Started off getting my new BOV on the car but drove around and then these lights came on. ( check headlights/taillights, check battery, and brake light) all came on at the same time and looked it up seems like my alternator went out. thanks to the old owner richard i have the receipt for the lifetime warranty and changed it out no problem. Thanks funny thing was that it was the 3rd one in about 4 years they said and they were trying to get me to say something or do something because they seemed like they didnt wanna give me a new one :/
