91 Celica GT 2.2, I need some Answers - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I have two questions specifically and one other im hoping there is a simple answer for.

1.Why can't I find any cold air intakes for my car and is there an alternative or possibly a website i have overlooked?

2.My A/C has leaks so since i don't care about A/C anyway how hard is it to remove everything to do with the A/C, and will I be able to get a serpentine belt to fit it if I do?

ok not as important but would love a suggestion. one of my spark plug boots is stuck on my spark plug, i mean it tore off i can still use the wire but im getting perf wires and iridium plugs so really need a way to get that piece of rubber out >.<.

Thanx in Advance,
Demonic

1) make your own or check eBay.

2) You can order the belt without AC.

Get a long nose plier.

1.You need to search harder. I had a ghetto iceman intake many moons ago! (LOL).

2.Take you car to dealership and see if your recall for your vin is OPEN or CLOSED. All this is free by the way. If its OPEN, then they will fix the problem and fill your gas. Thereafter if you still have a leak, you can replace hoses and fill it later yourself. Its a free start to something. (i did this and got my tech friend to replace the hoses for free).

3. sorry i have no idea on your tools - my guess is that you don't have right tools for this?

I figured i could prolly make a ghetto 1 i just dont understand why the cold air intake is made for so many cars but i cant find one anywhere for mine, I like how the aftermarkets look alot

I dont have any needle nose that long it seems to me these are some pretty deep holes and the rubber is at the very bottom but if they make needlenose that thin and long im sure i can pick up a set somewhere. Danville, IL sucks for getting basically anything cool so i gotta look to the net for computer parts car perf parts etc.

Toyota is not really mod friendly. Since its a MAP engine, you can use any other CAI as long as it come with enough pipe. You can cut and re-couple them however you want.
The easy way out: K&N drop in. Stock intake is CAI anyway.
If I can see a open filter under the hood, its not a CAI.
