i was really close to the trump plaza......i was in Beallies(not too sure of the spelling)....all in all it was well worth the money cuz the hotel mess'd up and gave us a suit on the 47th floor instead of the 4th floor:D :chuckles:

Injectors make a click which is close enough to a tick.

If its coming from the top of your head its probably valvetrain. If your under warranty take ti to the dealer and have them look at it.

the funny thing is is ONLY happens in 1 & 2 gear from 2-3 rpmz:confused: ........my fear of going to the dealer is "it's normal" .......that's what they said last time and i bitch'd and got new fuel injectors.....then the problem went alway.....not it's back and it's MUCH louder at that certain gears and speeds:mad:

bad news.....today i went to my regular dealer and they refused to look at it cuz it had a "performance" part on it.......and they the c.s.m told me that noise is because i "abuse" the car while racing......that's when i seriously flip'd on him........cuz i baby my car 99% of the time......NEway straight after that i took it to another dealer around my way and they were seriously cool w/ my CAI.....the whole shop came around my car to check if they can help find out what the ticking noise was......well they even game me a free diagnostic test and told me that all 4 cylinders of mine was misfiring:( .......they even told me to come back on monay to check if i can get it done under warrenty cuz the 1st dealer might have enter'd it into the system that i have an aftermarket part on it:bang:

yo porkchopspecblue gt-s told em that dont worry when i get my msajr mods..like s-afc and all that becasue he knows a dealership on rt.22 in the union area that is ttoally cool with mods...he has every part for the gt-s that is made soo far and he takes it to this dealer and they just fix and are really cool about mods....i think the dealerships name is just rt. 22 toyota..thast where im takin mine once i install my s-afc and rev/speed meter..

good luck yo..u gonan be at seaside.
