Killed Two Birds with 1 Stone,Well Almost

[Fuzz420]

Long story short on my highway trip back i heard this hissing sound. Few Moments later my steering went sour. Immediatly knew i had a flat tire.I call for help cause i was unsure if all my supplies were there or not to change my flat.They all were, i changed it my buddy shows up right at the end and then i suddenly remembered that starter went out, doh. So push starting a car is always fun with traffic wizzing by you. I had my dad reserver a starter from o'riely and i had it put on immedatly cause i cant have the DD down. Only thing left to do is buy a new/used tire and get an alignment. Only thing that disapoints me is the starter didnt make it to 200k miles just short at 199,6 and some change.Good ol toyota reliability :bigthumb:

Don't get an allignment if that 1 used tire is on the front end. You should have done this when the tires were new man....what up. O'rilelly's is where I like to replace parts from. I am liking the look and sound of the dura last parts, but I loath auto zone.

I need a rotation as well so, an alighment is a must.I went to o'rileys cause the sup disagree with autozone parts, and plus iv heard there better over there too so i went and tried them out

 

[supramacist]

they have real parts guys there. auto zone has computer geeks. sorry if any of you work for auto zone but O'rielly's has the better quallity parts as well as staff.

I use Napa for parts and service.

This o'riley starter is working like a champ :bigthumb:Noticbly louder than the old starter

 

[supramacist]

Napa is the best IMO. BUt napa is a thing of the past here in the midwest. They are gone, but not forgotten.

Lordco baby! Canadian owned and operated... great prices on performance parts.

Everytime I go to O'Reily's I end up with a part that isn't right. They insist that the u-joint for my truck that they gave me is the right one.Toyota even crossed their part number with O'Reily's and it is too small. They couldn't grasp the fact that they are wrong.

 

[supramacist]

Every one produces lemons every so often. Sounds like I would have a low opinion of them as well. Try the other guys. See who the clowns in your town are. LOL

i had that problem buying brake pads, autozone only has one number for pads, so u gotta guess on the back ones :nono:

You most likely coulda made it to 200K if you tapped the starter with a wrench :icon_bigg
I always try and kill 2 birds with one stone also, if it breaks go aftermarket, go upgrade that way you always have an excuse why you spent the money

we beat it with a crowbar, it wouldnt fire up. I had been having trouble since last winter, besides i didnt have time to order aftermarket parts from japan i had to be at school the next day:biglaugh:

yup, so i cant complain. I cant speak for anyone else but my supra has been good to me. Next on the list is the pesky hg next month, i may even try to get some cams too:evil2: , im still unsure that group buy is tempting. N/A+p&p+ cams should make for a fun ride,but im still undecided

 

[supra90turbo]

stay NA if it's the DD. it's your best option.

I'm thinking more and more about picking up a 90 NA for a DD...
