well...some of you may be wondering what i've been up to the past few days, others...probably not...the majority is in the latter i'm sure. anyway, so the celica has been down for over a year now, so not long ago i decided it was time to go back to the drawing board.

in the sad occurance of Ryan(moltar) wrecking his celica, my celica saw a new beam of hope...so here's the series of events throughout the past few days(Sunday night - Wednesday night)...

Sunday night/Monday morning:
12:30 - 2:15am Central time - Sleep.
2:45 - 8:00am Central time - On the road to Cincinnati.
9:00 - 11:45am Eastern time - Pulled Ryan's motor.

Monday afternoon/Monday night:
12:15 - 1:30pm(ish) Eastern time - Me, my brother, my friend Nick, Ryan, Jared(Phat99), and Brian(CelicaBest) ate some grub at Big Boy's.
From this point on, all times are Central
6:30pm - arrive home after a slight detour based on my brother's inattentive driving...
7:00 - 8:30pm - Nap after eating..
9:00 - 11:45pm - begin pulling 4AGZE(alone). undo all hoses, lines, etc. everything but 4 motor mounts.

Tuesday:
10:30 - 11:45am - finish pulling 4AGZE(alone).
1:00 - 3:15pm - nap after lunch.
4:00 - 10:15pm - dropped in 7AFE w/ brother, had dinner, got 80% hooked up.

Picture of the GZE out after i pulled it solo-style:

The 7AFE back in:


Wednesday:
2:45 - 9:15am - sleep.
9:30 - 1:00pm - run around franklin/nashville/murfreesboro getting final parts(axles/ECU/bolts/oil/etc/etc), also get lunch..
1:30 - 6:30pm - worked on the celica. finished connecting everything, ecu in, throttle cable in, axles, oils, etc.
6:45 - 7:15pm - on the phone w/ John(SpedToe) trying to bypass the clutch switch, finally got it via jumping the fuse to the starter relay.
7:16pm - The Celica lives again...
8:00 - Current - got some bolts, thought about puttin the fenders/hood/bumper on...said screw it, i'll to it friday...i think i've done enough for the past few days...

The 7AFE as it is at this moment:


so there...there's that, and, i got excited, so i even took A VIDEO of the celica starting for the first time in over a year...

so...i'm the man. and no one cares.
