heres mine.
this was the one Darren was sellin on here.


well. here it goes....


Swappin out that blown 7m for another NA 7m since i have to drive this sucka down for an inspection since its a WA car.
I'll still be playin with the car till the 1jz is ready to go in.
But the 7m i picked up had some work done. port n' polished head, 3 angle valve job, arp head studs/ hks metal headgasket, new timing belt and water pump. Pretty much picked it up for less than how much all those parts costed. Ha. Also got an rps 12 lb flywheel and a 6 puck clutch, and a stock MA70 supra turbo LSD to use for the meanwhile. Has 3.73 gears but swappin those out for either a 4.1 or 4.3 before it goes in.

The 1jz, still collecting parts for it.
might be pickin up a 2jzgte bottom end and building a 1.5jz

more to come

o and as of today(5/15/09), motor and tranny are out.

[lofapoo]

Shoulda kept the Celica

[rayray]

i give the 7m 1 yr.. 2 yrs tops

[CelicaDRIFTER]

got the 5 spd pedal assembly all in!

any certain plugs n' stuff i should disconnect and get rid of from the automatic stuffs?

kinda too lazy to search at the moment. crashing off an energy drink i had earlier. lol

[Bill]

cool stuff.

i bet with all that stuff in the 7m it doesn't act any different. everything besides the polish was just trying to prevent bhg that already started the motor's end game. they usually go emo after the first gasket, even with MHG and ARP, those can even make it worse, mine only lasted 3 months.

get that 1J in there faster if possible. god speed to the old 7m if you need to drive on it.

[CelicaDRIFTER]

we'll see.

still collecting parts for the 1j or, perhaps 1.5j

[CelicaDRIFTER]

today, swapped oil pan/ pickup off the cressida to the supra 7mge. also started swapping out little parts here and there. finishing that up tomorrow.

when darren was sellin this car on here, said the motor made noise, turns out. it had rod knock/ threw a rod. found pieces of the rod in the oil pan along with some other small metal pieces.

[Jason]

that looks like it would make a little bit of noise.

handle that shit! this better be on the road next week. or else ill put rayray and krammit on you.

[CelicaDRIFTER]

should be running next week.

i wanna get it running before the guys at the shop leave for Formula D in jersey.

pressure washed the engine bay today. now i just gotta bang out the tranny tunnel and put everything back on.

[Mo]

Damn... look at all them chunks. woot.

[CelicaDRIFTER]

doin this sometime after i hopefully get the car running this week.

[Bill]

[CelicaDRIFTER]

Nardi knockoff FTW.

they raised the price since then on ebay, its the NOB taniguchi edition knockoff goin now for $109 buy now.
