Toyotians?

Hello Toyotians?
(btw, what do you call the citizens of this nation? )

Anyhow, here's my story.
I am originally from Sri Lanka and now live in Canada (Toronto).

I owned a Toyota Starlet when I was in Sri Lanka:


(Maybe this called something else, elsewhere in the world.)

Then I came to Canada and faithfully bought another Toyota:


(Corolla 2002)
(Above image was taken from the dealership's site.)

Long story short, I am feeling happy today: I changed the serpentine belt by myself!
(with the help of TN of course)

Before:



After:



Then I was feeling smart and tried to look at the spark plugs (without searching TN) and broke those 2 plastic nuts or whatever that holds the engine cover.


That's ok. I am still happy, after searching for it in the forums and finding out that it's not a big deal.

Thank you to all the wonderful people in here!!!

Congrats on the repair. First steps on the road to modifying the heck out of it

Thanks guys!
The good thing about DIY is you have the control over what parts go in there.
For the serpentine belt, I chose a Goodyear one (from Partsource) over the the Certified one Canadiantire gave me.
(Ofcourse I was assuming Goodyear one was better than the Certified one.)
