    Welcome.

    Grab a multimeter and see if you are getting voltage to the starter at all while the key is turned. You can bench test starters with a car battery and some jumper leads to confirm it is functioning correctly.

    Fuel pump, fuel pump filter/sock, injectors are other things to test/check. I would not rule out the ignition system either, paying attention to the distributor cap, rotor and spark plug leads.

    Hiro is old school, it's new to him.

    You don't, you can use a piece of clear flexible hose that is the correct size for the bleed nipple and an old clear bottle. One man bleeders and pressure bleeders do help if you have no one to assist. If you are not confident in what you are doing, DO NOT attempt to bleed the brakes, have a professional do it. If you mess it up , you can kill people.

    It's not a common thing for people to modify factory radios. Most usually upgrade to an aftermarket unit. It will very likely be a Fujitsu Ten unit as a majority of OEM units are.

    This would be true for a 20 inch rim, but no where near as bad with 18's. Ride quality is purely subjective, some people prefer a more rigid ride than spongy.

    Welcome. Feel free to ask away in the appropriate sub-forums.

    It's incredibly easy to do. Remove the wheels, one at a time if need be. Scuff up the rim with some scotchbrite and wipe it down with some wax and grease remover/prepsol. Grab some carboard to cover the tyre and paint. Youtube has videos that can help as well.

    A rattle can will sort that out pretty quickly.

    This is not really a reflection of pressures, rather the reduction of sidewall height increasing tyre rigidity. The same could be said for upgrading to a 19 or 20 inch rim and choosing a tyre to suit the original rolling circumference.

    If you do not receive any suitable replies here, I would suggest consulting a dealer. Some dealers will be helpful; others, not so much.

    Well, the question, what is your budget and where(roof, dash, etc.) would you prefer to install it?

    As Hiro said, it is a good idea to replace as a pair. I would be less likely to think it was a failed slave due to the lack of fluid loss, as they normally leak externally. That being said I have actually seen one seized due to water contamination in the brake fluid and the car sitting for a large period.

    Most of the eBay ones run the standard core size, with aluminium tanks welded on.

    Toyota OEM radiators and fan setups are incredibly efficient and reliable. Proof of this is, a Camry in Canada with 1100+whp and still running the stock radiator and cooling fans with absolutely no overheating. With this in mind, the fear of failing tanks are the only real reason to replace a functioning factory radiator.

    It depends on your state road laws. If you are willing to take the risk, go for it. Go to another tyre shop and see what they say.

    Generally about the price of a couple of kidneys.

    As Tony said, you're just going to waste time and money.

    Please provide a picture.

    Is it overheating? Have you induced more heat by adding perfomance modifications?
