>Bilstein shocks? Really? You don't think they will ride a little rough with the tenzo springs? Brake lines aren't hard. Just make sure you get wrenches made for brakes. It will be a hell of a lot easier. I think the bleeding part is going to be hard. Just follow the BGB and you'll be golden. Remy, when are you ever meeting up with us man?

The tenzo springs are 1.8 drop all around after a whole lotta research I think bilsteins will probably be best. Will you can meet up with me I'll need someone to help sand my car this summer LOL.

>Remy is easy. Just a few nuts and bolts. Plug and play, you can't mess us haha.

I had a issue with the brake line tab. IRC the there was a tab that was a bit too long. I just turned it the other way not using the tab until summer.

Good to know joe, I might get the stoptech ss brake lines. Thanks

O really? You just need me to do the sanding? Not helping out with a 3s swap or anything.

Don't bother with a compressor. Without the right compressor and duty cycle one you'll be screwed with air tools. Get a long sanding block and a short sanding block and go from there. Don't go with too much of a heavy grit sand paper either. You don't want to gouge into the paint. Besides you just want the dents sanded down to the metal and clean body parts just sanded from clear.

Use your hand, and make sure you wash the car off after sanding to see missing spots and what not.

I plan on spraying my own car and hopefully learn from it thats why I wanted a compressor. The dent kinda popped itself out not as bad as it was before maybe because of the weather lol I'm gonna try to hammer it out as much as I can and go from their. I really wanted to get the 3s first but gotta fix that rust first its just surface rust noting major yet so better to get it done now don't wanna wait and see what it turns into. laugh.gif

You got it man. When will you be open? I'm not open today. Free sunday after 12:30. Free after 5pm on the weekdays.
Sunday works for me, or any evening during the week.
Where is the knock sensor? Is it pretty easy? If not, we can wait until it gets warmer.
It's on the back of the block, a little hard to get to, but do-able.
Got the trac a couple of days ago. Started working on it today. I would like to say. MAN O MAN its going to be a lot of work. I pieced the transfer case onto the trans and I am trying to figure out what to do with the cable driven speedo 165 with the sensor driven 185 awd trans. Got the dash off the trac and putting the 89 gt dash in its place. A lot cleaner than the tracs dash btw. To be honest I am very lucky I picked up the POS 89 gt because I get to swap all the things that are missing in the alltrac in. Any one want to be my light holder and my gatorade go getter? Currently looking for a 5sfe motor I can start bolting on the turbo kit I am piecing together once more. HAHAHA.

Hi MN celica owners. Just want to let the MN people know a little about myself and my car, I'm Shaun and Rochester,MN is my hometown. I've owned a 94 Celica GT for 7 years now, it's teal and runs stock 5SFE. I do have a 3sgte JDM engine from a clip I bought a few years back. I didn't get far in the swap and need help with it. Anyway when is the next meet? I would like to be there.

The car doesn't need to be towed it's ok and the 3s is 1993 JDM alltrac ST185. I'm new to your MN forum I've been around this site since 05 wink.gif
Thats a good thing you have a 93. Better ecu, higher fuel cut. Almost like the gen 3, but with the STUPID AFM.

Dude Will I just got your text yesterday about the harness. My phone hasn't been charged since sunday. Finally got it up and charge yesterday.

So about the harness. I got the spare one I bought on here. That's going in the car in the summer.

Do you still need the harness? If so how about $50 for the harness you helped soldered for me?
That sounds good got to find a manual 5s Ecu

I bet with this post I'll get to the 100th page. Watch.

Ouch didn't happen o well. I have been stalled on working on the trac all week because the weather isnt cooperating with me, so I opted to buy motorcycle parts instead lol...
