    Greetings from the Houston area

    Hey everyone, I'm a Mk.3 owner twice-over. I'm Nick. I had my first car (a red 86.5) for 6 months before an intoxicated driver hit and totaled it.

    7MGE-T won't start

    Update : The toyota dealership got it running, the timing gears were set wrong. Apparently the guy who changed the BHG put em in wrong. A little intro to this car. I bought it as my graduation present to myself last year. The car was $1000 with a BHG. I hired a friend of mine to replace it...
