how important or does it matter

Same answer for the vacuum lines routing.

if i was stupid enough to buy a car with the doors on upside down ,the last thing i would be worried about was if it ran ok , although if you can fix the doors on upside down ,i would doubt if it would stop the engine from running ok ,as for putting the transmission on the wrong way, again if it can be done ,obviously you being so cleaver you, and only you, might be able to do this, i still doubt if this would stop the engine from running well ,thanks for your help on this one and look NOT FORWARD to hearing from you in the future, all i wanted to know was in what way would it affect the running of the engine ,not sarcasm from someone like you

You are considerably older than I, so I will try to be as respectful as possible. If you had taken his comment light-hearted and not so belligerently, you would've seen thru his sarcasm and got your answer. What he tried to say was that the car will run with the vacuum hoses in the wrong places. But it will not run to potential. It will not run the way it should. Now if they are in the right place, then the car will run the way it should. I don't know how long you have owned the car, in case you havent noticed yet, you will need to make sure everything is running right otherwise it WILL come back to bite you in the arse.

And you might want to be more careful with whom you pick fights with in the future. He is also a moderator of this site. No one on this forum is looking to pick fights with anyone. Albeit, his response was not the best way to put it, but it did get the point across. Present yourself this way again and I'm sure that the forum members will be discouraged to help you.

Follow this and reroute your vacuum lines.

Can anyone please tell me if this will cause the car any harm , or does it not matter , as it is trivial...

New answer: YES ! it can/may cause harm to the car !
Yes ! It does matter ! Things should function properly.
NO ! It is NOT trivial.

Everything under the hood serves a purpose. Toyota (or any manufacturer) would not waste $$$$ placing things under the hood (bonnet) that were un-necessary (trivial).

SUPRAS FOREVER !!!,good luck
