Smile Happy Happy Joy Joy!

Car went into the shop

Came out BETTER!! no more rattles, rear licence plate fix with GOOD bolts, man these bolts are NICE, door closes proporly, they re-aligned it (thank you to all who suggested this) engine noise is still there, said they didnt hear anything during "test drive" ITS NOT DURING DRIVING! doesnt matter.. maybe my engine will blow up and i can get a GTE motor they change intake and put it back on no problem. everything is good

also they said we need new brakes so i convince my mom to let me get TRD rotors and EBC green stuff front pads and TRD rear pads if enough money is left ill get steel braided brake lines too, but i doubt it.

Sasha, the lines are only $150. If you're flushing the system with new fluid during your brake work, your labor is half-way there.

Why would your engine be making noise? Are you having valve train noise, please elaborate. It might need Valve adjustment

Sasha,

The fuel injectors make a constant ticking sound when they are firing. that could be it

What kind of Sh**ty gas are you using, my car is 6 years old and has yet to have any injector problems. What caused your injector to die?
