Hello eveyone. Just wondering if the celicas came equipped with a hood liner/insulater. I noticed when it rained today smoke/steam forming on the hood with the water drops.

Hehe. The GT4 in the summer when sitting still has vision problems due to the heat haze off the IC after a hard run.
When it rains, it sizzles......
JDM ST205Blitz Spec NUR Exhaust, somewhere over $1000Needing another one 18000 miles later, bloody annoying.
Mr. E: I get that too (ST185 3s) although I'd think the ST205 would be better since you have the water pump - do you have that constantly running? If not thats an easy mod.

I pulled my liner off. The lady that had it before me had the valve cover seal missing, oil leaked on the belts, and was flung up to the liner and the liner was soaked in oil.
the liner is actually a flame retardent blanket. incase your engine catchs fire, the blanket drops over the engine and suppress it. but i didnt have one either. 96 st
It's also to keep the heat off the hood so it doesnt own your paint. I ripped mine off tho, they look tacky i think

Thanks for the replys! So it looks like earlier GTs got them.
The engine noise doesn't bother me, it's the paint I'm worried about. I just bought the car about a month ago and after washing it a couple of times, the paint is very dull on the hood only. I waxed a corner of the hood and it was all better so hopefully that will restore the gloss.
