Default FML... Car took a dump...

All my plans down the drain for Toyotafest. Im so pissed I cant believe it.. all the rush and money spent to restore this car and now I cant even show it.

Tranny leaking oil, Starter took a dump today at work. Car wont start at all.. I need to repair it tomorrow so I can get to work on monday.

I will contact TORC to see if anyone can take my place. DOES ANYONE IN CA? WANT TO SHOW THEIR SC300? PM ME. Ill give it to you for free for SC300 brothers/sisters.

Show is tomorrow registration starts at 7:30am

man that sucks, good luck getting her back up to par, such a beautiful SC. btw, the yellow tint on the fog lights, where did you get it from, or is it just a transparent spray?

Sorry to hear man. Starter is an easy fix. Not sure about your tranny leak though. Good luck with everything

Its the driveshaft to the tranny seal is failing. Going buy the part and switch it out tomorrow. But I need to tow my car to the shop because it doesnt start at all right now. I can bump push start it but once I turn it off its done again.
