Well, the transmission was shot when I got the car, so I knew that would need replacing. At the time of having the transmisson replaced, I also replaced the clutch.
The digital clock only goes on when the car has been running a while, sometimes.
There is also a slight tapping that comes from under the valve cover. A Toyota oil filter took care of that, though.
No other problems as far as I can tell.
This car rides great, is comfortable, and is well worth the money. It also has sway bars which helps cornering, and the Twin Cam V6 is extremely responsive and quick. It's also the only car in it's class that can be classified as "4DSC" (Four Door Sports Car).
All of the controls are easy to operate, and the Bose sound system is great! The power moon roof/sunroof are also nice. The 5-speed transmission is also easy to shift, and in a comfortable position.
I've had my 92 SE 5 speed since it had 60k, now it has 152k. Yhey are very good cars, very reliable.
If you want to add more power, get a cold air intake, my car does 0-60 in about 6.5 seconds.
The valve tick you hear is the variable valve timing, they eventually all make this sound - you can have it fixed but it will come back. You said a Toyota oil filter made it sound go away - what model Toyota oil filter? Why do you think this worked?
Well, the model oil filter was 90915-yzza2. It has an anti-leak type of valve inside to leave oil up near the valves. By the way, I paid about $7 each for those! Also, what type of cai did you add? E-mail me at iroczfreak@hotmail.com.
