What are you guys doing to it?

WOOT i just got all my new parts installed tonight. it looks pretty good id say its about 90% back to normal. ill post up some pics tomorrow. if you want a turbo rick i have an IHI RBH52 that could be for sale.

Would you guys want the meet in the metro area? Any park suggestions?

2nd week of June? All day saturday? BBQ? Photoshoot?

I'm just throwing idea's out there!

she bought the car down in florida as a project car..got it for hella cheap. it has a 3s swap but it's afro engineered you know what i mean. so it was making a tick sound when you'd accelerate..so looking on mr2oc we find out it's a common problem with the exhaust manifolds...the dude had washers and bolts on the head holding the manifold instead of the studs haha. so we pulled the turbo n stuff out ans replaced the gasket and i bought some new studs and installed it back together. we're gonna finish up on sun probably. if that solves the problem the motor is getting pulled to get rewired and cleaned up and installed properly. they're missig motor mounts bolts and everything haha. ghetto. but we'll get er done.

hell yea ill be at that meet if my motor swap is done. let me know for sure later on in the summer or ill keep checkn this to.

Dude, I will totally be there. Have you guys ever been to a meet with a beat up car?

ive never been to a meet. so therefor i havent been to one with a beat up car lol

Block, theres this 96+ celica gt hatch I think at this dealership. Kind of like a small private dealership. Its black and I saw it for like 4,900. Its off of 94 and broadway. If its there you owe me 100 bucks. hehehe.

hey I bought the red one for 3200 and it kicks ass. I have a friend who works at a body shop so I had him put in new kick ass breaks for cheap. And he's gonna paint the fender. I couldnt pass it up there wasnt **** for celicas near where i live. Oh and my friend has a 2nd gen. so i had to show him up. But i hear what you mean. Its still a GT hatchback I had to have it. Very Fast. My pics on my profile dont do it much justice. But I'll still spend some time and money on it. Isnt that the point of coming to this site.

Very nice bro. Got mine for 2500, but I just found so many rust spots, I'm soo pissed. But my girls dad works at an auto body place so we'll see this summer.

Just curious...anyone goin to Rockfalls opener?

I am!!!!!!! I'm runnning also! hahah stock GT!

I was thinking of bringing the bike but too many people for me to actually race. Take some good pics while you guys are there

When is it? I'll be there and I want to run the car. I am also stock.

Go! I want to see your car!

i'll probably be there but i dunno about my car. i jus took apart my old 5sfe that seized on me with the turbo setup and i found that i spun the connecting rod cap and the main bearing right next to it on the second cylinder. april 15th is gonna be a chilly one.

First is always the best! Everyone comes with new mods, better and faster the year before, or totally new cars. I always go to the first and last!!!!!!

Go GO Go GO GO GO GO!!!! We can all park together!!!

I'll try my best...looks like everything is getting slapped on the credit card! haha

Any of you guys got a spare 5sfe block laying around? I haven't seen any junkyards around here with one. considering all the Camry's out there. You'd think it'd be a lot easier sourcing one out.

i have a block. it's just a plain 5sfe block

>


WAT? in minneapolis? imma go check it out....

>

When you say plain. Are you saying its a bare block?

I hate the snow!!!!!

>

me too, I was hoping the warm weather we were having for a couple days was here to stay

I think from spinning around so much on the snow I broke my cv shaft. I hate it too. Yeah theres a black one, on west broadway.

>

yep stripped down bare block. nothing on it. it was my original engine with around 130k on it. i spun a rod bearing so it was toast and i just bought a new engine. i just got done stripping it down and gonna go bring it to the scrap yard. but if you need it go for it i was only gonna get like 50 cents for it anyways. steel is cheap. aluminum is pricey one. let me know if ya want it.
