I got my car back >>

grand total: $3200(ish) <all for driving 5mph though what looked like a shallow puddle.>

New parts:
5sfe Engine (80k rebuild)
Intake manifold
Injectors
Spark plugs
All new belts
All new gaskets (every one or them)
Cluch
Fly wheel
bunch more junk

still to come:
compleate valve manifold rebuild (or close to it, FREE because the motor i got could use it and the mechanic said he should have done it when he put it in)

Its currently 2 inches higher but i will drop it back down tomarrow, just did not want it slamed when it went to the shop. I'm currently running it under a 60 day temp lisence (it has to be inspected, and cleared befor licencing. i'm going to get custome plates (eather "CREIS" "JAXx" or my fav "STRIPED")

Looks great man, but how are you gonna lower it two inches from there? Looks like 1 inch would make the car rest on the tire.

Car probably drives like its fresh outta the factory huh? That must be a lot of fun, knowing everythings new in there.

naw, it drives bad, needs the valve work, dropping it the rest of the way makes the tires just* tuck under the fender.

you have a intercooler on an NA?

no intercooler, what?

funny, thats my intake. i have custum pipeing down to the frunt bumper when the intake box and filter are.

future note: my current intake system will be for sale when my scoop one is done, I paid $190 for it, but will list if for less.

damn dood. you could have just bought my 5sfe with 50,000miles on it and saved a crap load of cash.

Not to hijack, but do you guys think i should take the visor off the sunroof or keep it on.. i see a lot of people with it off and it looks pretty good.. ne opinions

Take it off. Makes the Celi look more naked and shows off the lines

interfoolers...hehehe.

two clean cars. First zx2 I've liked because it isn't in the hands of a ricer. Thats a slick front end it's got. It needs a spoiler imo to round it off.

I have a 00-02 Celica spoiler in my garage waiting to go on.. its all primered and ready.. just dont know if i want to add it or not.. im kind of digging the no spoiler look right now, i think it gives the car a nice flow of body lines

strip the visor hyp3rk1d, it looks much better in my opinion.

keep the spoiler off, right now its the "i'm not trying to hard to show off" look, and thats good. even though its a basic spoiler, might be too much.


lagos engine:
shipping would have been $$$, with the one I got it was free from navada. and compleatly rebuilt, its going into the shop thurs morning to be checked out. all free of charge.
