1994 GT-S (BEAMS) swap complete
i got another axel from autozone....same part number as the last one, but this time its the correct size. so thats installed and the car is sitting on 4 wheels.
past few days ive driven the car 2 feet forward and 2 feet back...lol. still working out all the bugs in it. found a coolant leak that only happens when the car is warmed up, and fixed it. then i had a strange problem of the engine just shutting off and not wanting to come back on. i think it must be a short in a wire, so i took off all the crimp connectors i was using and soldered everything with a 230watt soldering gun (for those nasty thick alinator wires). so, now im hoping that fixed the problem.
heres something no one told me about the swap....swap a 3sgte into your celia and you get a free lowering. my car now sits a lot lower in the front because of the extra engine weight and the eibach sportlines i have on there. i may have to end up getting coilovers or something if i start to bottom out a lot.

QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback]i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
i got to drive the car around today for about 5min...
then my axel broke apart.... im never buying car parts from autozone again.

dude i work at advanced auto you want me to get you one, then ship it up???...i've never had issues with one of our axels i even have one on my car
man, today i was like "dayum, i havent heard any swap news from lagos in a while (didnt see this post yet)" then read this...... awesome to hear your almost done man.... seems like you just started it.... but to you it probably feels like forever...
its been a while...almost 2 moths of work...always something small left to be done. i just hope nothing else brakes.
playr158 is going to try to get me a discount on a brand new axel >

man the company i ordered my 3s from dropped my engine while pulling it from the clip. said they had to wait for another clip to come in....
Update on our 3sgte wiring prob:
the speed sensor and odometer problem is now solved....
give me a call for the solution and you should be A OK for cruising the streets!
as you would put it.... the car will be legal "select parts of wire diagrams were wrong and i figured it out after tracing a few of my wires"
