My drivers side T-Top leaks Terribly. literally a stream from where the A pillar, window, and t-top meet. It must have been this way for a while because unfortunately the car has a slight mildew smell only when it gets wet. So instead of ordering new tires for the Rotiforms on the Yaris, I had to buy T-top seals. While one expects weatherstripping to be costly, Just the T-Top seals alone were 600 dollars! So tires will have to wait. Hopefully that's all I need to stop the water. After they come in and I delete all leaks, I'm planning on getting the inside shampoo'd and such to bring her back to her former less smelly self. :) I also adjusted the timing, put my Jim Wolf ECU in, and maybe if I feel I can swing it, I'll buy a POP charger and negate the cruddy stock airbox.
I also need to get a oil filter wrench, For the life of me I can't get the oil filter off. just changed the oil minus filter for now to keep it happy.

Update on the z - if anyone cares to know :p
I started burning oil (smoking quite terribly during turns and up/downhill) during spirited driving and was getting a burnt oil smell occasional during regular cruising as my exhaust valve cover was leaking on a turbo. my EGR and PCV valves were clogged, thus dumping oil into my intake. Z's are known for plumes of smoke during hard cornering due to the design flaw of the PCV valves. So I have since removed both systems and am running a catch can. I also did a kevlar timing belt and all 4 camshaft seals, front main seal, new crankshaft gear as I had to snap the old one in half to remove it, deleted the non working A/C, deleted the HICAS which allowed me to get a smaller NA P/S pump, a new alternator as my TT P/S pump was leaking all up in that bitch, silicone hoses, new aluminum radiator, a coolant line bypass on the intake manifold, and a electronic boost controller to get me out of safety boost due to the PO in Japan bypassing the factory solenoids, and up to 13psi. I'm assuming the PO had a boost controller as my turbos are in fantastic shape. I been busy.
