Broken inside door handle by keithh1

My son broke the driver's inside door handle on my Prizm. Apparently this is a very common occurrence so I thought I'd post my fix. What happens is the weak plastic posts that the pull handle is attached to, and pivots on, snap. So I drilled out what was left of the posts, top and bottom of the body that holds the pull handle, and replaced the two posts with a single 1/8"x1 1/2" (approx) bolt and nut. I had to dremel out the outside ends on both sides of the plastic holder so the nut head and the bolt head would fit, but it worked. I used a dab of superglue on the nut to make sure it wouldn't gradually work loose. I have pictures if anybody wants to see them. I already had the nut and bolt, so $0.00 fix. The local junkyards didn't have any Prizm door handles (all sold out). I could get a new one for only $10.95... but shipping was another $9.00... Anyway, I hope it holds up for another 11 years.

This isn't something you can do by yourself, however if you go to a local auto parts store (Napa, Auto Zone, Advance Auto Parts, etc) they can hook up to the car's computer and find out what's wrong, as well as clear the codes so that your "check engine" light will turn off

If yours is a four-door sedan, you should also be interchangeable with the four-door Toyota Corolla. I cannot think of any others models off-hand, but that should get you started at least.

1995 geo prizm cup holder by bm7yu

I had my radio stolen out of my 1995 geo prizm, but the really unfortunate thing is that they ripped out the cup holder too. So, I'm looking to get a new one- I hear the corolla has the same interior, and would have the same cup holder. Is this true? I'm seeing a bunch of different looking ones on ebay- anyone happen to have a 1995 prizm they could take a picture of, so I could look at what exactly the cup holder looks like? One of those things you don't notice until it's gone...

Here, you should get only Geo Prizm's cup holder, not Corolla's. They are not the same. 1993-1997 Geo Prizm cup holder.

Your gasket between exhaust manifold and exhaust pipe is probably worn out.
This gasket looks like a fat ring made of metal mesh. the part costs about 5$ at aftermarket store. I've replaced it on my brothers prizm.

It't not too hard.
Remove two or three phillips screws that you see in the panel. Make sure you didn't miss any.
Starting from the bottom pry the panel off and continue to pull toward your self holding the bottom portion of the panel. There are about 10 clips total that hold it located on sides. When the clips are off lift the panel up to pry off upper panel side.
Disconnect by prying off a rod cable from the door handle.
